A Guide to the Scrum Body of Knowledge (SBOK™ Guide) provides guidelines for the successful implementation of Scrum—the most popular Agile product development and project delivery methodology. Scrum, as defined in the SBOK™ Guide, is a framework which is applicable to portfolios, programs, or projects of any size or complexity; and may be applied effectively in any industry to create a product, service, or other result. The SBOK™ Guide was developed as a standard guide for organizations and professionals who want to implement Scrum, as well as those already doing so who want to make needed improvements to their processes. It is intended for use as a reference and knowledge guide by both experienced Scrum and other product or service development practitioners, as well as by persons with no prior experience or knowledge of Scrum or any other project delivery methodology. ...

262 sqf / 24.34 sqm This is an extreme design, for extreme conditions. Maybe you would call it a cabin or a shed, no wheels necessary, no restriction from a trailer. It needs to be off-grid, water from a stream, solar panels, internet only via satellite phone. It has to be really cheap and fast to build with local (Burmese) villagers. It needs to protect against mosquitoes, as it is in a malaria region with increasing resistance against the medications. Not for you? Probably not, but maybe there are still a few good ideas for you in it, if you continue to read my ideas. It might be a very interesting alternative to a bamboo hut or wooden house for the people in this region. Why Tiny? Why big? I am tired of cleaning a big house, that my kids constantly mess up and make dirty. Tired of chasing after them in a big house. We had our best times, when we lived tiny, squeezed with 10 persons into two 3x3 rooms with a loft plus a kitchen and bathroom. ...

This book is perhaps the one that is most difficult to understand with just one reading, because it contains a concentration of all of A. Mercurio’s innovative thought. It is difficult to make a short synthesis of this book, so here we will simply mention some of the papers presented by the Author that the book contains. The book opens with an “Invitation” and then proceeds with “The Myth of Sophia-Analysis: life as a work of art”, “Choral Group Research on life as a work of art”, “The Cosmological vision of Sophia-Art”, “The Cosmo-Art Theorem”, “The Cosmo-Art Myth”, “The Myth of Ulysses contains the Cosmo-Art Myth”, “Exploring the Myth of Ulysses”, “The Ulysseans: creators of the Cosmo-Art Myth”. The Author introduces for the first time the concept of “Secondary Beauty”. Primary beauty is the type of beauty created by nature, and it is subject to time and death. “Secondary Beauty” is beauty created by human beings, a type of beauty that goes beyond the type created by nature and that,...

Tom Swift enters an upcoming race with his specially-designed prototype electric race car. But as he makes the final preparations and adjustments, days before the race, he discovers a plot that would bankrupt not only his family, but also everyone else that relies on the local bank (which is the target of a nefarious bank-run scheme). Tom must solve the mystery and stop the criminals behind the plot before he'll test himself on a 500 mile race against some of the best electric cars and skilled drivers in the United States. Listeners are forewarned that some elements and characters included in Tom Swift books portray certain ethnic groups in a very dated manner that modern readers, and listeners, may find offensive. Despite the racially stereotyped behavior and pronunciation in the books, the Reader believes it makes sense to read what's written in order to be faithful to the author's intent.

The first chapter is introductory in nature and gives a few essential definitions and references for the reader to make use of the literature in case the reader is not thorough with the basics. The second chapter deals with different types of neutrosophic bilinear algebras and bivector spaces and proves several results analogous to linear bialgebra. In chapter three the authors introduce the notion of n-linear algebras and prove several theorems related to them. Many of the classical theorems for neutrosophic algebras are proved with appropriate modifications. Chapter four indicates the probable applications of these algebraic structures. The final chapter suggests about 80 innovative problems for the reader to solve....

In this chapter we only indicate as reference of those the concepts we are using in this book. However the interested reader should refer them for a complete understanding of this book. In this book we define the notion of natural product in matrices so that we have a nice natural product defined on column matrices, m * n (m ≠ n) matrices. This extension is the same in case of row matrices. We make use of the notion of semigroups and Smarandache semigroups. Also the notion of semirings, Smarandache semirings, semi vector spaces and semifields are used....

Over the past 25 years, I have been immersed in research in Algebra and more particularly in ring theory. I embarked on writing this book on Smarandache rings (Srings) specially to motivate both ring theorists and Smarandache algebraists to develop and study several important and innovative properties about S-rings. Writing this book essentially involved a good deal of reference work. As a researcher, I felt that it will be a great deal better if we thrust importance on results given in research papers on ring theory rather than detail the basic properties or classical results that the standard textbooks contain. I feel that such a venture, which has consolidated several ring theoretic concepts, has made the current book a unique one from the angle of research. One of the major highlights of this book is by creating the Smarandache analogue of the various ring theoretic concepts we have succeeded in defining around 243 Smarandache concepts....

Voilà cinq ans que Hugues Viane est veuf. Voilà cinq ans qu'il est venu s'installer à Bruges, cette ville qui lui renvoie son image : triste et grise. Au cours d'une de ses promenades nocturnes, il croise sa morte ou, tout au moins, une femme qui lui ressemble. Mais alors qu'il la suit, elle disparait à un carrefour. La retrouvera-t-il ? Est-elle vraiment telle que celle qu'il a perdue autrefois et qu'il pleure encore ? Bruges demeurera-t-elle cette ville morte? (par Ezwa) Bruges-la-Morte is a short novel by the Belgian author Georges Rodenbach, first published in 1892. The title is difficult to translate but might be rendered as The Dead City of Bruges . It tells the story of Hugues Viane, a widower overcome with grief, who takes refuge in Bruges, where he becomes obsessed with a dancer he sees at the opera Robert le diable who is the exact likeness of his dead wife. The book is notable for its poetic evocation of the decaying city and for its innovative form. In 1920, the composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold used the novel as the basis for his opera Die Tote Stadt . Rodenbach interspersed his text with dozens of black-and-white photog...

The fable is a small narrative, in prose or verse, which has as its main characteristic the aim of conveying a moral lesson (the moral), implicitly or, more normally, explicitly expressed. Even though the modern concept of fable is that it should have animals or inanimated objects as characters - an idea supported by the works of famous fabulists such as Aesop and La Fontaine - Phaedrus, the most important Latin fabulist, is innovative in his writing. Although many of his fables do depict animals or objects assuming speech, he also has many short stories about men, writing narratives that seem to the modern eye more like short tales than fables. Despite many other fables being attributed to Phaedrus, only five books are considered by scholarship to have been written by him. Phaedrus' five books of fables are here presented in a translation to English prose by Henry Thomas Ridley. (Summary by Leni)...

Eugene Oneguine is a classic of Russian literature, and its eponymous protagonist has served as the model for a number of Russian literary heroes (so-called superfluous men). It was published in serial form between 1825 and 1832. The first complete edition was published in 1833, and the currently accepted version is based on the 1837 publication. Almost the entire work is made up of 389 stanzas of iambic tetrameter with the unusual rhyme scheme AbAbCCddEffEgg, where the uppercase letters represent feminine rhymes while the lowercase letters represent masculine rhymes. This form has come to be known as the Onegin stanza or the Pushkin sonnet. The rhythm, innovative rhyme scheme, the natural tone and diction, and the economical transparency of presentation all demonstrate the virtuosity which has been instrumental in proclaiming Pushkin as the undisputed master of Russian poetry. The story is told by a narrator (a lightly fictionalized version of Pushkin's public image), whose tone is educated, worldly, and intimate. The narrator digresses at times, usually to expand on aspects of this social and intellectual world. This allows for a ...

This book is organized into seven chapters. The first one is introductory in nature. In the second chapter authors give the unique and new way of analyzing the data which is time dependent. In chapter three the authors for the first time define the new concept of matrices with linguistic variables. In chapter four authors have used super matrices in super fuzzy models like super FCMs, super FRMs super FAMs etc. In chapter five we define interval matrix and matrix interval using the natural class of intervals, that is intervals of the form [a, b] where a b or a and b not comparable. In the final chapter we have defined the new notion of bimatrices and n-matrices. Using these new concepts we have constructed linear algebra of type I and linear algebra of type II. Using these matrices we can build n-eigen values and n-eigen vectors....
