Book excerpt: Anna Norton used to be fat. Correction: Anna Norton used to be a fat, nerdy, overeater with low self esteem. When she moves from suburban Ohio to Manhattan at age 23, her life does a total 180. With guidance from her boss, an unlikely Fairy Godmother in the form of a chic caterer and excellent cook, Anna loses all the weight and--though still not quite Kate Moss--finally drops her inferiority complex, brushes the crumbs off her skirt, and enters the world of feeling good, looking good, and...finally having sex. When Anna meets Ben, the man of her dreams (and of every other person's dreams who isn't blind) she almost can't believe she is dating the Ken Doll. Deep down, she is still the chubby nerd who wrote in a diary called Hello Fatty. But not everything is perfect; her hot boyfriend is a huge flirt, and every leggy blond who crosses his path is a threat to Anna. She just can't escape the feeling that Ben is way out of her league and that everyone thinks she is dating up and he's dating down. It gets so bad, she decides she will do anything to make these women go away. Enter the Makedown. The reverse makeover. As Anna was made up, so will Ben be made down. Where she went from shabby to chic, he will go from prince to frog. Anna will sabotage his hotness for the sake of her own sanity, and to bring this man into more of what she considers her own league. Enter Nair to induce premature balding, Sears catalogs to inspire bad dressing, and secret additions of cream to her cooking and SKOR bars in granola bar wrappers to induce weight gain. Hilarity ensues, but in the end, Anna must find out if Ben's makedown will save their relationship, or end it.

Book excerpt: bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.

This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals Comprehensive guide to the design, installation, selection, and maintenance of agitators in the biofuels and renewable chemicals industries Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals is a single-source reference on all the major issues related to agitator design for biofuel, written with the intention of saving the reader time by avoiding the need to consult multiple references or sift through many pages of text to find what is needed for agitator design in specific industries. The work presents a brief introduction of basic principles and relevant theory, then goes on to cover the real-world applications of these principles, including economic evaluations of alternatives as well as supplier evaluation principles. To aid in quick and seamless reader comprehension, each chapter has the symbols used in that chapter listed and defined at the end. Overall, the work is written more as a how-to book than an academic treatise. The highly qualified author has included plenty of brevity throughout the pages with the hopes that readers go through the entire book as a single unit, rather than just skimming an occasional page or chapter as is common with other resources in similar fields. Sample topics covered in the work include: Avoiding common problems, such as using impeller diameters and speeds that would not result in even minimal solids suspension or liquid motion Choosing the right impellers for the job, understanding how power draw and pumping are calculated, and becoming familiar with biofuel/biomass agitator sizing guidelines The principles and limitations of scale-up and the most common non-Newtonian rheology applicable to biofuel applications Designing lab tests and scale-up cellulosic hydrolysis agitation, plus the uses and limitations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) As an easy-to-read and completely comprehensive resource to the subject, Agitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals is immensely valuable for professionals tasked with selecting agitation equipment or troubleshooting existing equipment, as well as those involved in planning activities and allocating resources related to project management.
