Electronic Brain - by Omari Abdullah

 

Electronic Brain

On E'Dorra Neural Network Technology

by Omari Abdallah

Study and Research Center for Bioinformatics, ADRAR, Algeria.

Electronic Brain groups and presents a recent set of research papers written by the author and accepted by many high level international conferences from 1998 to 2010. The main idea is to find a model for a new neural network then associate to it a learning method to simulate the human brain in its dynamic process to achieve the separated learning, continued learning, and the artificial forget.

The book is designed (but not limited) for researchers, post graduate students in computer science, electronics, robotics and other fields that cover artificial intelligence, applied mathematics and hybridc systems (biology-mathematics-psychology).

The principal ideas in the book could be developed if you read it and write back to us with your impressions, comments and criticisms.

Newcastle United - Sweet FA

 

Newcastle United - Sweet F.A.

A nostalgic look at the worst Newcastle players of the last 25 years

by Steph Lawton

WARNING: This book is highly offensive,
especially if you’re Jean-Alain Boumsong.

Sweet FA is a nostalgic and humorous look back at the worst Newcastle United players of the last 25 years. It’s a trip down a memory lane littered with the likes of Hodges & Hendrie, Ranson & Sansom, Stimson, Aitken and The Magic of Mitchell. This book is about the players who arrived with bags of potential and left with bags of money . It’s about those players who came with huge reputations, which they went on to destroy almost immediately and those who started off badly and maintained that poor form for years. It’s about the players we loved to hate and a lot more than just eleven reasons why our club continues to win Sweet FA.

LOCAL HEROES

An Epic WW2 Shipwreck and Survival Story

by Neil Carlsen

24th August 1942 — Hull, England 15-year-old James Nicholson Meeks from South Shields boarded SS Peterton (R. Chapman & Son) bound for Buenos Aires. Still two months short of the minimum age of 16, it was his first voyage as a Merchant Navy Apprentice. He was joined onboard by an even younger recruit, Edward Briggs Hyde from Cullercoats, who had only turned 15 earlier that summer; 18-year-old Able Seaman Jack Morley from Hull, and a crew of forty men with experience ranging from raw recruit to World War One veteran.

Less than four weeks later, SS Peterton was sunk by three torpedoes fired by German U-boat U-109, commanded by legendary U-boat Ace Heinrich Bleichrodt. The surviving crewmembers found themselves in two lifeboats drifting in the Atlantic, hundreds of miles off the west coast of Africa. With their Captain seized by the U-boat, the fate of the crew lay in the hands of senior men like 2nd Officer George Howes from Hull and Chief Engineer Thomas Gorman from North Shields. Their struggle for survival had only just begun!

This incredible story is based on interviews and testimonies from the shipwrecked survivors and is now documented here for the very first time.

The Geordie Godfather

 


THE GEORDIE GODFATHER

And the Boy from Barnardo’s

by JOHN “MARIO” CUNNINGHAM

I have no fear and some people say I have no heart, or at least, if I did have a heart it would be made of stone. I don’t react to anything on a human level in an emotional way. I have never flinched in the face of danger, never felt my heart race when confronted by violence or the threat of it and I can never remember ever shedding a tear, even when told of the deaths of family members or ‘close’ friends. I am not proud of being devoid of any human emotion, in fact I am slightly ashamed of it. I would have liked to have felt, at least a few times, the normal type of human response to fear, stress, the grief of loss, the sadness of bereavement.
