Create Stunning AI Art Using Craiyon, DALL-E and Midjourney: A Guide to Generated Art for Everyone - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Antonis Tsagaris & Andreas Pampoukkas خلاصه: When I decided to write this book, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. At first, it was going to be a 5000-or-so word book, and it was just going to be a little primer about Craiyon, or “Dall-E mini”, as it was called at the time. Craiyon is a generative art artificial intelligence program and, since you’ve picked up this book, you probably already know what it does. However, I will allow for the following possibilities: 1. This book was a present, which is good, because at least you didn’t get socks 2. You only bought it to impress the hot, artistically-inclined hottie that’s hawt at school. The good news? You just put food on my table. The bad news? It’s not going to work. If any of the above are the case, let me bring you up to speed: Craiyon, and other similar AI art generation programs will let you enter a text prompt (tip: get used to the word “prompt”) and then create an image based on that text prompt. For example, you could ask for “a frog eating a bagel in a pond on Titan, edward hopper style” and the AI would do its best to return a picture that’s relevant to your prompt. Of course, this being AI, the results could end up being hilariously bad, but that’s also part of the fun. As any decent fellow writing a book about any subject would do, I went ahead and did my research on the matter, and while trying to find alternatives to Craiyon, I came upon DALL-E, which was (and still is, at the time of writing) in invite-only beta. I also discovered what would probably end up being my wife, if it was human and could cook creamy risotto, and I wasn’t already married: Midjourney. Of course, there are many more out there, often with their own twist on the formula. Nightcafe will actually let you print your creations and have them mailed to your address, while StarryAI will let you generate NFTs right then and there. Stable Diffusion is another big contender that I’ll be following with much interest. I have used most of them (for you, dear reader) and I can tell you that DALL-E and Midjourney beat the alternatives (with the exception of Stable Diffusion) into a pulp and use it to fertilize their plants, while Craiyon often returns such ingenious results that is definitely worth keeping around. After using the plethora of newfangled AI tools that suddenly sprang up on the web, I know that writing a book only about Craiyon was no longer an option. This book had to become the bible of AI- generated art books, or I had failed. Of course, it also had to be shipped in a reasonable amount of time, so I released it in a form that I consider to be finished, but far from complete. This means that content will be added to this book very regularly, and you’ll be able to download the updated version to your device any time you wish. At the time of writing, the book has already seen two updates, and many more are coming as this is a vibrant, active field in its early days, and that requires constant attention and revisions.

Statistics for Business & Economics by David_R_Anderson,_Dennis_J_Sweeney - Original PDF
نویسندگان: David_R_Anderson,_Dennis_J_Sweeney خلاصه: This text is the 14th edition of STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS. In this edition, we include procedures for statistical analysis using Excel 2016 and JMP Student Edition 14. In MindTap Reader, we also include instructions for using the exceptionally popular open-source language R to perform statistical analysis. We are excited to introduce two new coauthors, Michael J. Fry of the University of Cincinnati and Jeffrey W. Ohlmann of the University of Iowa. Both are accomplished teachers and researchers. More details on their backgrounds may be found in the About the Authors section. The remainder of this preface describes the authors’ objectives in writing STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS and the major changes that were made in developing the 14th edition. The purpose of the text is to give students, primarily those in the fields of business administration and economics, a conceptual introduction to the field of statistics and its many applications. The text is applications-oriented and written with the needs of the nonmathematician in mind; the mathematical prerequisite is understanding of algebra. Applications of data analysis and statistical methodology are an integral part of the or- ganization and presentation of the text material. The discussion and development of each technique is presented in an application setting, with the statistical results providing insights to decisions and solutions to problems. Although the book is applications oriented, we have taken care to provide sound meth- odological development and to use notation that is generally accepted for the topic being covered. Hence, students will find that this text provides good preparation for the study of more advanced statistical material. A bibliography to guide further study is included as an appendix

The Poetics of Fascism: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Paul de Man - Original PDF
The Poetics of Fascism: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Paul de Man - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Paul Morrison خلاصه: Morrison examines the legacy of the modernist poetics of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, as it relates to current theoretical orthodoxies, and traces its influence on the current crisis in post-structural literary theory. Morrison reads the politics of post-structural theory in relation to the socio-cultural arguments espoused in the poetry and prose by Pound and Eliot, and reveals a continuity between that theory and high modernism's tendency towards fascism. Without reducing the political implications of poetry to mere caricature and without slighting the force and fact of literary mediation, Morrison has produced a book that will reshape the discussion of the social dimension of modernism. He concludes with a provocative analysis of deconstruction and the work of Paul de Man, and makes a case for a new post-structural theory that can accommodate history.

Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Peter A. Williams خلاصه: Natural and synthetic water soluble polymers are used in a wide range of familiar industrial and consumer products, including coatings and inks, papers, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care products. They perform a variety of functions without which these products would be significantly more expensive, less effective or both.Written for research, development and formulation chemists, technologists and engineers at graduate level and beyond in the fine and specialty chemicals, polymers, food and pharmaceutical industries, the Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers deals specifically with the functional properties of both natural and synthetic water soluble polymers. By taking a function based approach, rather than a "polymer specific" approach the book illustrates how polymer structure leads to effect, and shows how different polymer types can be employed to achieve appropriate product properties.

Successful Stock Signals for Traders and Portfolio Managers: Integrating Technical Analysis with Fundamentals to Improve Performance + Website - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Tom K. Lloyd Sr. خلاصه: Relative strength performance versus the Standard & Poors (S&P) 500 Index is the key to analyzing any large-cap (capitalization) stock, and is revealing when viewed in Exhibit 1.3. In this chapter, we will exploit the easiest and most powerful examples of technical analysis signals that tracked the demand that took Apple price up so dramatically. Relative strength is simply the comparison of a stock’s price movement to the price movement of the index. This is a simple, straight forward arithmetic ratio. It is then plotted and shown in Exhibit 1.3 as “AAPL: $SPX.” Notice the uptrend in the line created when the stock price is doing better than the index. As long as this line is in an uptrend, it classifies the stock as one that is outperforming the index. The trend line is calculated as a 20-week EMA. If you want to outperform the index this is the signal to watch.

Urban Planning as a Trading Zone - Original PDF
Urban Planning as a Trading Zone - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Alessandro Balducci, Raine Mäntysalo (auth.), Alessandro Balducci, Raine Mäntysalo (eds.) خلاصه: 'Trading zone' is a concept introduced by Peter Galison in his social scientific research on how scientists representing different sub-cultures and paradigms have been able to coordinate their interaction locally. In this book, Italian and Finnish planning researchers extend the use of the concept to different contexts of urban planning and management, where there is a need for new ideas and tools in managing the interaction of different stakeholders. The trading zone concept is approached as a tool in organizing local platforms and support systems for planning participation, knowledge production, decision making and local conflict management. In relation to the former theses of communicative planning theory that stress the ideals of consensus, mutual understanding and universal reason, the 'trading zone approach', outlined in this book, offers a different perspective. It focuses on the potentiality to coordinate locally the interaction of different stakeholders without requiring the deeper sharing of understandings, values and motives between them. Galison’s commentary comes in the form of the book’s final chapter.
