Et al. is a satirical academic journal that uses machine learning and scientific principles on absurd studies, from the cat Lord Whiskers' role in the extinction of the dodo bird to the quantum mysteries of untidy toddler rooms.Key FeaturesConducts satirical research on topics ranging from quantum computing to clingy robot dog algorithmsAnswers questions like "Can a computer understand a Scotsman?" and "Is Sarah Palin real?"Secures the power grid and your home from the prying eyes of government drones a.k.a. birdsExpands science by studying cow-based atmospheres, and the flavortown center of the brainSolves climate change and saves the world by proposing a banana-based fission reactorNullifies the possibility of getting lost at the fair with a mirror-house escape algorithmBook DescriptionTired of the same old math, science, statistics, and programming memes people post online and want something a little more elaborate? This is the book for you.Tremble as we make up all our own facts and data, hand-draw diagrams in MS Paint, and quote from fictional studies and journals. Cower as authors write in the first person because their study is just a little too personal for them. Recoil from the sheer mass of oversimplified methodology, distilling someone's entire thesis into a paragraph of jokes crude enough to make it into a Mike Myers movie.Over the last few years, we have taken arguments that you would normally have after four Jack and cokes at game night and turned them into properly formatted research papers with a writing tone serious enough to confuse the uninitiated. These papers are high-effort jokes by researchers and scientists for researchers and scientists. They cover a range of topics such as the consequences of re-releasing tourists back into Yellowstone National Park after COVID-19, how to play StarCraft competitively online on a quantum computer, and most importantly, how trees around the globe are becoming increasingly radicalized.What you will learnHow to draw a graph using MS Paint, maybeWhether Sarah Palin is a figment of your imaginationHow one pirate cat brought about the extinction of the beloved dodoWhy rabbits used to be jerks back in the dayIf you actually learn anything from these articles, get your memory erased immediatelyWho this book is forThis book is for researchers and those who love science mingled with humor. It's for those who are a little too tired of the talking heads and futurists of the science world and would like something more entertaining in the form of absurd speculative studies by researchers as unbelievable as their work. Anyone who has experienced academic writing, or the tribulations of any research institution will enjoy the wide range of bizarre, yet real-world topics compiled in this book. Even if you don't know much about the subject, we usually have a background section.Table of ContentsThe Pirate Kitty Theory: How a House Cat BeingCows All the Way Down: Could Cow-Based Planetoids Support Methane Atmospheres?Ecological Impacts of Re-Releasing Tourists into YellowstoneThe Great Rabbit War of 863AD: Myth or Historical Fact?The Cat Homing Infrared Laser Drone Defense (CHILD) System: A Novel Approach to Suburban DefenseThe Sarah Palin Mandela Effect: How America Believes in a Fictional PoliticianUtilitarianism, Shame, and Mysticism: Autonomous Vehicle Moral Compass Design and AnalysisA Comparative Analysis of Trevor's Mom: Age Estimation MethodologyAdaptive Smart Grids for Migratory Government Drones(N.B.

Eufonía significa armonía en el sonido. Esta definición no sólo indica un hecho acústico, sino que sobre todo señala la experiencia profunda de la Alegría y de la Belleza en el Sonido y en el ser humano. La Eufonía es un Arte-Ciencia que, a través de etapas progresivas, conduce a experimentar las potencialidades innatas en el ser humano, desde el efecto terapéutico del sonido a la armonía en las relaciones humanas, desde la distensión psicofísica al redescubrimiento del vigor intelectual, desde la expansión de la sensibilidad al Conocimiento de sí mismo. El libro trata de los efectos del sonido sobre el ser humano, haciendo un cuidadoso análisis del significado y de la función de la música, su gran potencial, y las razones por las cuales se trata de una clave de oro para el conocimiento de nosotros mismos y del universo entero.

Il rapporto intimo tra Pitagora e l'Eufonia diventa in questo scritto una realtà applicabile alle relazioni umane, alla conoscenza della natura ed agli effetti del nostro comportamento sul mondo circostante.

Una sintesi affascinante della trascendenza dell'Ascolto, vera sfida per l'uomo contemporaneo che ha dimenticato sia l'origine che la pratica di questa Scienza/Arte, quale chiave per comprendere ed agire armonicamente.

Examines the foundations of human rights, how their political and cultural validation in a global context is posing challenges to nation-state sovereignty, and how they become an integral part of international relations and are institutionalized into domestic legal and political practices.

Examines the way the Holocaust has been remembered in Germany, Israel, and the US. This title shows how singular event has been detached from its precise context and instead used as a way of focusing abstract questions of good and evil, and how this use has given the Holocaust a resonance across the global stage.
