A gritty and ferocious novel written by Will Beall, an LAPD officer who continues to patrol the streets he writes about. L.A. Rex is the story of Ben Halloran, a seemingly fresh-faced rookie assigned to the 77th Division, L.A.'s most violent precinct, still reeling from the Rodney King riots. Partnered with old-school cop Miguel Marquez, the two plunge fast and deep into the city's burgeoning gang war—and it soon becomes clear that they won't be able to emerge again unless Ben faces the demons he's running from once and for all. Bristling with the energy and authenticity of the author's experiences as a working policeman in South Central L.A., this is a literary thriller that doesn't just unfold. It explodes.

The Imager Porfolio is a bestselling and innovative epic fantasy series from L. E. Modesitt, Jr. that RT Book Reviews says “shines with engrossing characters, terrific plotting, and realistic world-building.” Continue the journey with Rex Regis. Only the land of Khel remains uncommitted to Bhayar's rule. Their decision could mean a lasting peace, or more conflict across an already war-ravaged realm. While the conqueror of Bovaria awaits emissaries to arrive with news of Khel's decision, other weighty matters occupy Quaeryt—not the least of which is the fulfillment of his dream to create the world's first Imager academy, where the magical abilities of these powerful casters may be honed, managed, and put to the service of the common good. But before that dream may be realized, or Khel's fateful choice made known, the spectre of high treason threatens to unravel everything Quaeryt has achieved.

L'analyse probabiliste des risques technologiques et industriels est maintenant bien acceptée par les scientifiques et les autorités réglementaires. Cette analyse a été utilisée dans le domaine de la conception, de l'exploitation et de la maintenance des installations industrielles comme les installations à risques Seveso (chimie, pétrochimie, armement, transport), ou dans les domaines de haute technologie tels le spatial et le nucléaire où la réglementation impose justement l'élaboration d'un rapport de sûreté dès la conception et un suivi des résultats pendant toute la durée d'exploitation de l'installation. Cet ouvrage présente très simplement les différentes démarches de l'analyse des risques industriels, leur intérêt, leurs limites, leurs points communs et leur complémentarité, en partant d'un événement indésirable aléatoire ou, ce qui est plus complexe, d'un événement dépendant du temps. Les parades possibles dans ce dernier cas sont alors optimisées de façon probabiliste en fonction de différents critères d'intérêt. La principale ambition de ce livre est d'être abordable au néophyte en statistique, comme au spécialiste en ce domaine : il part du plus simple pour aller vers le plus compliqué. Il démontre de façon détaillée chacun des sujets abordés et les agrémente systématiquement d'exemples. Des applications industrielles concrètes illustrent enfin l'utilisation pratique des méthodes proposées. Ce livre s'adresse aux concepteurs, exploitants, universitaires et étudiants concernés par l'analyse probabiliste, le retour d'expérience ou l'expertise.

Nominal apposition—the combining of two equivalent nouns—has been a neglected topic in linguistics, despite its prominence in syntax and morphology in some languages. This book presents an extensive comparative and diachronic analysis of nominal apposition in Indo-European, examining its occurrence, characteristics and functions in early languages, identifying parallels with similar phenomena elsewhere, and tracing its evolution in Latin-Romance.
