Michael Jan Friedman, Robert Greenberger
Predator: Flesh And Blood

2007 y.
Publisher: Dark Horse
Description: In 1987, the first Predator movie was released, garnering an Oscar, huge audiences and an instantly loyal fan base. Five years later came the first of the best-selling Predator novels. What accounted for the success of the series? It combined seemingly disparate genres - science fiction, action and horror - with unforgettable characters for a fresh experience. In this novel by New York Times bestsellers, Michael Friedman and frequent writing partner Robert Greenberger, humans have all but destroyed the earth, creating an opportunity for unscrupulous moneymakers to take advantage of the destruction. One family, the Ciejek clan, have made their fortune exploiting Earth`s misfortunes. But with power comes corruption. The members of the Ciejek clan are at each other`s throats, enlisting the help of the fearsome Predators to settle the score. When the Predators arrive, however, the brutality they unleash is far beyond what the Ciejek family could have imagined. [detailed...]

Predator: Forever Midnight

2006 y.
Publisher: Dark Horse
Description: Erupting on the screen in a blaze of blood and guts in 1987, the film Predator quickly became a favorite, spawning a host of sequels, games, and novels. In Predator: Forever Midnight, John Shirley casts his malevolent eye upon the canon. The year is 2117 A.D. Humanity has seized the stars, using reverse-engineered alien technology to explore the far reaches of space. On the eternally lit jungle planet Midnight, explorers are making a new world suitable for habitation. For years, humans have been safe from the sadistic extraterrestrial hunters known as the Predators, but the settlers on Midnight aren’t alone: the Predators have been on the planet all along. When the ravenous creatures attack an arriving spacecraft and capture the settlers as both slaves and prey for their hunt, the humans` terraforming project takes a back seat to a new fight for survival.

2008 y.
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics

Predatory Priests, Silenced Victims: The Sexual Abuse Crisis and the Catholic Church

2007 y.
Publisher: The Analytic Press
Description: The sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church captured headlines and mobilized public outrage in January 2002. But much of the commentary that immediately followed was reductionistic, focusing on single “causes” of clerical abuse such as mandatory celibacy, homosexuality, sexual repressiveness or sexual permissiveness, anti-Catholicism, and a decadent secular culture. Predatory Priests, Silenced Victims: The Sexual Abuse Crisis in the Catholic Church, a collection of groundbreaking articles edited by Mary Gail Frawley-O`Dea and Virginia Goldner, eschews such one-size-fits all theorizing. In its place, the abuse situation is explored in all its troubling complexity, as contributors take into account the experiences, respectively, of the victim/survivor, the abuser/perpetrator, and the bystander (whether family member, professional/clergy, or the community at large). The contributors, all experts on the issues involved in clerical sexual abuse, comprise psychoanalysts,… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Most events that catch us by surprise are both predictable and preventable, but we consistently miss (or ignore) the warning signs This book shows why such “predictable surprises” put us all at risk, and shows how we can understand, anticipate, and prevent them before disaster strikes. There is a universal fear factor surrounding this subject: that society and the workplace are filled with disasters in the making that we could prevent if we only knew what to look for. This book plays on that fear and offers a positive, proactive resolution to it. [detailed...]

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions [ROUGHCUT]

2008 y.
Publisher: HarperCollins
Description: Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? Why does recalling the Ten Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn`t possibly be caught? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we`re in control. We think we`re making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social… [detailed...]

Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Machine learning develops intelligent computer systems that are able to generalize from previously seen examples. A new domain of machine learning, in which the prediction must satisfy the additional constraints found in structured data, poses one of machine learning’s greatest challenges: learning functional dependencies between arbitrary input and output domains. This volume presents and analyzes the state of the art in machine learning algorithms and theory in this novel field. The contributors discuss applications as diverse as machine translation, document markup, computational biology, and information extraction, among others, providing a timely overview of an exciting field.

Predicting the Markets of Tomorrow: A Contrarian Investment Strategy for the Next Twenty Years

2006 y.
Publisher: Portfolio Hardcover
Description: A unique and timely new wealth-building strategy from a legendary investment guru. In his national bestsellers How to Retire Rich and What Works on Wall Street, portfolio manager extraordinaire James P. O’Shaughnessy offered investors practical advice based on rigorous quantitative analysis—advice that has consistently beaten the market. But in a recent analysis of market data, O’Shaughnessy uncovered some astonishing trends not discussed in his previous books. The Markets of Tomorrow explains O’Shaughnessy’s new research and tells ordinary investors what they must do now to revamp their portfolios. According to O’Shaughnessy, the year 2000 marked the end of a twenty-year cycle that was dominated by the stocks of larger, fastergrowing companies like those in the S&,P 500. In the new cycle, the stocks of small and midsize companies are the ones that will outperform the market, along with large company value stocks and intermediate term bonds.

Description: `Prediction and Change of Health Behavior` honors the work of Martin Fishbein by illustrating the breadth and depth of the reasoned action approach. Focused on attitudes and their effects on health-related behavior, the book demonstrates the profound impact of Fishbein and Ajzen`s theories of reasoned action on attitude research and on the solution of social problems. Part I is devoted to theoretical and conceptual issues aspects of the reasoned action approach. Leading figures in the field address measurement compatibility, the interaction of belief strength and outcome evaluations, the role of emotions, the prediction of classes of behavior, explicit versus implicit attitudes, and the moderating effects of perceived control on behavior. A general introduction to the reasoned action approach is given. Part II applies the reasoned action approach to the health domain, illustrating how the approach applies to understanding risky sexual behavior. Intended for… [detailed...]

Prediction of signal recognition particle RNA genes

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We describe a method for prediction of genes that encode SRP RNA. A heuristic search for the strongly conserved helix 8 motif is combined with covariance models that are based on previously known SRP RNA sequences. By screening available genomic sequences, we have identified a large number of novel SRP RNA genes and we can account for at least one gene in every genome that has been completely sequenced. Novel bacterial RNAs include that of Thermotoga maritima that, unlike all other non-gram positive eubacteria, is predicted to have an Alu domain. We have also found the RNAs of Lactococcus lactis and Staphylococcus to have an unusual UGAC tetraloop in helix 8 instead of the normal GNRA sequence. An investigation of yeast RNAs reveals conserved sequence elements of the Alu domain that aid in the analysis of these RNAs. Inspection of the human genome reveals only two likely genes, both on chromosome 14. Our method for prediction of SRP RNA genes is the first convenient tool for this task… [detailed...]

Prediction, Learning, and Games

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This important new text and reference for researchers and students in machine learning, game theory, statistics and information theory offers the first comprehensive treatment of the problem of predicting individual sequences. Unlike standard statistical approaches to forecasting, prediction of individual sequences does not impose any probabilistic assumption on the data-generating mechanism. Yet, prediction algorithms can be constructed that work well for all possible sequences, in the sense that their performance is always nearly as good as the best forecasting strategy in a given reference class. The central theme is the model of prediction using expert advice, a general framework within which many related problems can be cast and discussed. Repeated game playing, adaptive data compression, sequential investment in the stock market, sequential pattern analysis, and several other problems are viewed as instances of the experts` framework and analyzed from a common nonstochastic… [detailed...]

Prefab Houses

2009 y.
Publisher: Evergreen
Description: This book shows around 25 international houses that are based on modular and prefabrication systems. All of them have ecological advantages in comparison to standard construction systems, since they represent a more effective use of resources and a reduction of construction time and there with costs. All houses are built in factories, carried by road and assembled on site. Thus, building materials can be used more economically and very few refuse is produced during construction. Due to the actual spread of technologies and construction typologies, the international prefabrication industry can deliver up-to-date houses, aesthetically modern, and with an average rank of prizes from very cheap solutions to more exclusive ones, depending on the main material used (wood, steel, galvanised aluminum and concrete).
