“Bellicise is an organization built on secrecy. We are the elite. No one can know of your involvement. Not your best friend, not your ex-boyfriend, no one.” She put her hands on Calista’s shoulders and looked her squarely in the eyes. “Calista, can I trust you to keep our secrets?” ___________________________________________ Calista Vance lives a normal life filled with commonplace struggles. She’s just an ordinary woman. Until the day she isn’t. Calista’s boyfriend, Grant Reynolds, suddenly ends their long-term relationship. She is shattered, but something isn’t adding up. What is he hiding? That’s when Calista meets Coco, a chic girl entangled in a sumptuous world of luxury and duplicity—and a Firebrand in an underground organization known as Bellicise. Recruited by Bellicise, Calista’s shiny new life full of glitter, gowns, and galas, seems too good to be true. Because it is. Someone is following her. The expectations of Bellicise weigh on her conscience. Her morals and unwavering trust are tested. Will Calista’s broken past dictate her future? Can she remain true to herself as the fragile girl she used to be fades away? What is it that Bellicise really wants?

CubeSat Handbook: From Mission Design to Operations is the first book solely devoted to the design, manufacturing, and in-orbit operations of CubeSats. Beginning with an historical overview from CubeSat co-inventors Robert Twiggs and Jordi Puig-Suari, the book is divided into 6 parts with contributions from international experts in the area of small satellites and CubeSats. It covers topics such as standard interfaces, on-board & ground software, industry standards in terms of control algorithms and sub-systems, systems engineering, standards for AITV (assembly, integration, testing and validation) activities, and launch regulations. This comprehensive resource provides all the information needed for engineers and developers in industry and academia to successfully design and launch a CubeSat mission. Provides an overview on all aspects that a CubeSat developer needs to analyze during mission design and its realization Features practical examples on how to design and deal with possible issues during a CubeSat mission Covers new developments and technologies, including ThinSats and PocketQubeSats

Based on the recent NATO Advanced Study Institute "Chaotic Worlds: From Order to Disorder in Gravitational N-Body Dynamical Systems", this state of the art textbook, written by internationally renowned experts, provides an invaluable reference volume for all students and researchers in gravitational n-body systems. The contributions are especially designed to give a systematic development from the fundamental mathematics which underpin modern studies of ordered and chaotic behaviour in n-body dynamics to their application to real motion in planetary systems. This volume presents an up-to-date synoptic view of the subject.

This book is comprised of selected research articles developed from a workshop on Ergodic Theory, Probabilistic Methods and Applications, held in April 2012 at the Banff International Research Station. It contains contributions from world leading experts in ergodic theory, numerical dynamical systems, molecular dynamics and ocean/atmosphere dynamics, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The volume will serve as a valuable reference for mathematicians, physicists, engineers, biologists and climate scientists, who currently use, or wish to learn how to use, probabilistic techniques to cope with dynamical models that display open or non-equilibrium behavior.
