This book dives into topics that every indie developer should know. – Yukon Wainczak Founder of Snoozy Kazoo I’ve seen no better guide for understanding how the video game industry really works. An important read for anyone whose work touches games including those of us looking to engage the community. – Carla Warner Director of STREAM for No Kid Hungry The Business of Indie Games explores what many universities forget to cover: how to sell and market your own indie game to potential publishers and developers. While many classes help students on their way to designing and programming their own games there are few classes that equip students with the skills to sell their own product. In essence this means future indie game developers are not equipped to talk to investors negotiate with publishers and engage with major platforms like Steam and Nintendo. Authors Alex Josef Alex Van Lepp and Marshal D. Carper are looking to rectify this problem by helping indie game developers and companies level up their business acumen. With detailed chapters and sections that deal with different engines negotiation tactics and marketing The Business of Indie Games is the perfect omnibus for up-and-coming indie game developers. The future of gaming curriculums is not just in teaching students how to create games but also in preparing them for the business of games. | The Business of Indie Games Everything You Need to Know to Conquer the Indie Games Industry

Evolution The Origins and Mechanisms of Diversity

Evolution The Origins and Mechanisms of Diversity

Evolution is the single unifying principle of biology and core to everything in the life sciences. More than a century of work by scientists from across the biological spectrum has produced a detailed history of life across the phyla and explained the mechanisms by which new species form. This textbook covers both this history and the mechanisms of speciation; it also aims to provide students with the background needed to read the research literature on evolution. Students will therefore learn about cladistics molecular phylogenies the molecular-genetical basis of evolutionary change including the important role of protein networks symbionts and holobionts together with the core principles of developmental biology. The book also includes introductory appendices that provide background knowledge on for example the diversity of life today fossils the geology of Earth and the history of evolutionary thought. Key Features Summarizes the origins of life and the evolution of the eukaryotic cell and of Urbilateria the last common ancestor of invertebrates and vertebrates. Reviews the history of life across the phyla based on the fossil record and computational phylogenetics. Explains evo-devo and the generation of anatomical novelties. Illustrates the roles of small populations genetic drift mutation and selection in speciation. Documents human evolution using the fossil record and evidence of dispersal across the world leading to the emergence of modern humans. | Evolution The Origins and Mechanisms of Diversity

Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision

Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision

Planning measuring and paying attention to details form the basis for all successful engineering operations. Measurements pervade everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A comprehensive all-encompassing guide to measurements Handbook of Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements—an approach that sets it apart from other handbooks. The popular saying measure twice and cut once bears out the importance of measurements in human endeavors. This handbook covers both qualitative and quantitative topics of measurement. It opens with a chapter on the fundamentals of measurement and includes coverage of human-centric measurements such as measurement of personnel productivity and contractor performance. It concludes with three appendices on measurement references conversion factors equations formulas and statistics for measurement. It is well understood that humans cannot manage anything that cannot be measured. All elements involved in our day-to-day decision making involve some form of measurement whether in the kitchen retail sports service operations geographical exploration health care delivery worker productivity clothing design engineering product design or space craft launching. Measuring an attribute of a system and then analyzing it against some standard some specification some best practice or some benchmark empower a decision maker to take appropriate and timely actions. This book gives you a guide for sustainable practices to ensure accurate measurements helping you make decisions backed by metrics. | Handbook of Measurements Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters Techniques and Implementation

Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters Techniques and Implementation

Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters: Techniques and Implementation is perhaps the first in-depth account of how sliding mode controllers can be practically engineered to optimize control of power converters. A complete understanding of this process is timely and necessary as the electronics industry moves toward the use of renewable energy sources and widely varying loads that can be adequately supported only by power converters using nonlinear controllers. Of the various advanced control methods used to handle the complex requirements of power conversion systems sliding mode control (SMC) has been most widely investigated and proved to be a more feasible alternative than fuzzy and adaptive control for existing and future power converters. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory this book employs a top-down instructional approach to discuss traditional and modern SMC techniques. Covering everything from equations to analog implantation it: Provides a comprehensive general overview of SMC principles and methods Offers advanced readers a systematic exposition of the mathematical machineries and design principles relevant to construction of SMC then introduces newer approaches Demonstrates the practical implementation and supporting design rules of SMC based on analog circuits Promotes an appreciation of general nonlinear control by presenting it from a practical perspective and using familiar engineering terminology With specialized coverage of modeling and implementation that is useful to students and professionals in electrical and electronic engineering this book clarifies SMC principles and their application to power converters. Making the material equally accessible to all readers whether their background is in analog circuit design power electronics or control engineering the authors—experienced researchers in their own right—elegantly and practically relate theory application and mathematical concepts and models to corresponding industrial targets. | Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters Techniques and Implementation

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

This book is about the invisible or subtle nature of food and farming and also about the nature of existence. Everything that we know (and do not know) about the physical world has a subtle counterpart which has been scarcely considered in modernist farming practice and research. If you think this book isn’t for you if it appears more important to attend to the pressing physical challenges the world is facing before having the luxury of turning to such subtleties then think again. For it could be precisely this worldview – the one prioritises the physical-material dimension of reality - that helped get us into this situation in the first place. Perhaps we need a different worldview to get us out? This book makes a foundational contribution to the discipline of Subtle Agroecologies a nexus of indigenous epistemologies multidisciplinary advances in wave-based and ethereal studies and the science of sustainable agriculture. Not a farming system in itself Subtle Agroecologies superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing materially-based agroecological farming systems. Bringing together 43 authors from 12 countries and five continents from the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities this multi-contributed book introduces the discipline explaining its relevance and potential contribution to the field of Agroecology. Research into Subtle Agroecologies may be described as the systematic study of the nature of the invisible world as it relates to the practice of agriculture and to do this through adapting and innovating with research methods in particular with those of a more embodied nature with the overall purpose of bringing and maintaining balance and harmony. Such research is an open-minded inquiry its grounding being the lived experiences of humans working on and with the land over several thousand years to the present. By reclaiming and reinterpreting the perennial relationship between humans and nature the implications would revolutionise agriculture heralding a new wave of more sustainable farming techniques changing our whole relationship with nature to one of real collaboration rather than control and ultimately transforming ourselves. | Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature
