This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of cultural models of emotions, with particular focus on how cultural parameters of societies affect the emotional life of people in different cultural contexts.

The purpose of this book is to introduce researchers and practitioners to recent advances and applications of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). Random sampling is the key of the MCS technique. The 11 chapters of this book collectively illustrates how such a sampling technique is exploited to solve difficult problems or analyze complex systems in various engineering and science domains. Issues related to the use of MCS including goodness-of-fit, uncertainty evaluation, variance reduction, optimization, and statistical estimation are discussed and examples of solutions are given. Novel applications of MCS are demonstrated in financial systems modeling, estimation of transition behavior of organic molecules, chemical reaction, particle diffusion, kinetic simulation of biophysics and biological data, and healthcare practices. To enlarge the accessibility of this book, both field-specific background materials and field-specific usages of MCS are introduced in most chapters. The aim of this book is to unify knowledge of MCS from different fields to facilitate research and new applications of MCS.

There are many things that puzzle Tom Swift. But among the most vexing in recent times is the discovery of an impossible planet, and one that has existed within the solar system for possibly as long as the Earth. Yet, it has gone completely overlooked and undetected.Now, as Tom supervises a mining operation in the asteroid belt remotely from Shopton, a mysterious something crosses a million miles in front of his ship, the Sutter. Like a ghost in the corner of a dark room, it is vaguely there and yet it is not. And so, he decides to find out just what it is.What Tom and his crew find is a planet that is not the ordinary spherical shape. It isn't even a rough piece of rock as with almost every asteroid other than Ceres. It most certainly is not Ceres.How it manages to remain together is one mystery to solve, but when he attempts to land on this invisible planet, all he finds is a type of chaos that is enough to make even the most sane man think he is crazy!Join Tom as he finds out the truths about the mystery planet that has been "out there" practically forever.

Isaac Newton's Second Law of Inertia postulates that a body in motion tends to continue at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force. The book, The Three Legged Table, challenges the reader not to accept things in their lives as they are, but presents the three Principles in every person's life and how one can affect the changes needed to redirect them towards the goals they seek. The Three Legged Table offers eighteen words that, when they are applied to the Personal, Social and Spiritual principles which govern your life, will give you the choices to redirect the path you are on. This book will not only focus you on how to achieve success through these powerful words, but will also point out the pitfalls in life that often keep people from reaching their fullest potential. How can you achieve your fullest Personal Growth? There are only five words to greater success. How can you achieve greater Social growth? There are only ten words you need to live by to achieve stronger social interactions and success with others. Finally, how can you achieve greater Spiritual Growth and peace in your life? The Three Legged Table offers the three words that will lead you to understanding and recognition of God's involvement in your Life. The Three Legged Table reaffirms the truth that each and every one has one Most Valuable and Precious Resource. To achieve your Maximum Potential and complete Balance in your life, a commitment to the eighteen words shared here to your fullest abilities and talents will allow you to apply the OUTSIDE FORCES of change Isaac Newton postulated to alter your course through life and achieve lasting growth, success and peace.
