As the 1950s dawned America was a colossus militarily, economically and culturally. It bestrode a globe it was doing so much to shape in its own image. But it had concerns; the threat of communism. And for the Movies and Radio there was another concern: the emerging rise of Television.For Radio, still in its golden age of mass audiences and star filled programmes, they had a handy solution with ‘The Big Show’. Its premise was simple but effective. Take 90 minutes of air-time and fi...

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Uniswap or Tether are not just digitals currencies. Bitcoin is pure law. Since the emergence of the blockchain, it is possible to regulate ourselves in a decentralized, private way, with a law that is digital, self-regulating and self-executing.Likewise, states, elites and official organizations repeat over and over again the same message from various platforms: Bitcoin is unregulated, it is only good for dirty business, it is merely speculative, etc. While we li...

Overview of methods for bilinear modeling of batch data, including theory, methodologies and examples for experienced professionals in the biotech, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) have become increasingly important with the establishment of the quality-by-design paradigm in industrial processes, particularly where batch operation is standard. PAT plays an instrumental role in advancing process understanding and oper...

Group method of data handling (GMDH) is a typical inductive modeling method built on the principles of self-organization. Since its introduction, inductive modelling has been developed to support complex systems in prediction, clusterization, system identification, as well as data mining and knowledge extraction technologies in social science, science, engineering, and medicine.This is the first book to explore GMDH using MATLAB (matrix laboratory) language. Readers will learn how to imple...
