The Innovation Complex : Cities, Tech, and the New Economy
You hear a lot these days about "innovation and entrepreneurship" and about how "good jobs" in tech will save our cities.Yet these common tropes hide a stunning reality: local lives and fortunes are tied to global capital.You see this clearly in metropolises such as San Francisco and New York that have emerged as "superstar cities." In these cities, startups bloom, jobs of the future multiply, and a meritocracy trained in digital technology, backed by investors who control deep pools of capital, forms a new class: the tech-financial elite.In The Innovation Complex, the eminent urbanist Sharon Zukin shows the way these forces shape the new urban economy through a rich and illuminating account of the rise of the tech sector in New York City.Drawing from original interviews with venture capitalists, tech evangelists, and economic development officials, she shows how the ecosystem forms and reshapes the city from the ground up. Zukin explores the people and plans that have literally rooted digital technology in the city.That in turn has shaped a workforce, molded a mindset, and generated an archipelago of tech spaces, which in combination have produced a now-hegemonic "innovation" culture and geography.She begins with the subculture of hackathons and meetups, introduces startup founders and venture capitalists, and explores the transformation of the Brooklyn waterfront from industrial wasteland to "innovation coastline." She shows how, far beyond Silicon Valley, cities like New York are shaped by an influential "triple helix" of business, government, and university leaders--an alliance that joins C.Wright Mills's "power elite," real estate developers, and ambitious avatars of "academic capitalism." As a result, cities around the world are caught between the demands of the tech economy and communities' desires for growth--a massive and often--insurmountable challenge for those who hope to reap the rewards of innovation's success.

America's Military Biomedical Complex : Law, Ethics, and the Drive for Scientific Innovation
War is an engine of innovation. It has motivated extraordinary achievements in medicine and science, many of which have generated benefits far beyond the battlefield.These advancements, however, have come at great cost.Countless individuals have been exposed to hazardous research, often without their knowledge or consent.Cities, towns, and rural areas have been used as test sites for atomic, chemical, and biological warfare, causing widespread environmental damage and a myriad of health ailments in generations of Americans.Health professionals have been intimately involved in enhanced interrogation programs, while warfighters face an emerging scenario where biomedical enhancements may become essential elements of military missions.Laws and ethical codes have been rewritten to facilitate these endeavors and shield wrongful conduct from the public.Due to secrecy mandates, governmental immunities, and lackluster healthcare, many individuals harmed by these actions have been left without legal remedies or adequate means to address their injuries.America's Military Biomedical Complex shows how the drive for scientific and military superiority has shifted the moral compass of government and society, detailing scores of examples where untoward conduct has been rationalized as necessary to promote national security and achieve military goals.The book traces the fascinating story of how laws and ethical codes have co-evolved with the nation's military science pursuits, dating back to the founding of America.Without passing retrospective judgment, it explores the moral calculus conducted by decision-makers at key moments in military science.This analysis reveals that officials were keenly aware of ethical dilemmas, but nonetheless chose to engage in risky (and sometimes unlawful) activities to further pressing national security goals.Coupled with this historical reflection, America's Military Biomedical Complex recommends policies that harmonize contemporary national security concerns with fundamental principles of justice and human dignity.It introduces the concept of jus in praeparatione bellum (justice in war preparations) a doctrine of restraint and responsibility that aims to elucidate just and unjust means of preparing for war.

What are complex numbers and how are they used in technology?
Complex numbers are numbers that consist of a real part and an imaginary part, usually written in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'bi' is the imaginary part. In technology, complex numbers are used in various applications such as signal processing, control systems, and electrical engineering. They are particularly useful in analyzing and solving problems involving alternating current (AC) circuits, digital signal processing, and in designing filters and control systems. The ability of complex numbers to represent both magnitude and phase information makes them a powerful tool in modeling and analyzing systems with both real and imaginary components.

What is the Oedipus complex and the father complex?
The Oedipus complex is a concept in psychoanalytic theory proposed by Sigmund Freud. It refers to a child's unconscious desire for their opposite-sex parent, along with feelings of jealousy and rivalry towards their same-sex parent. The Oedipus complex is said to occur during the phallic stage of psychosexual development, typically between the ages of 3 and 6. The father complex, on the other hand, is a term used to describe a child's feelings and attitudes towards their father. It can encompass a range of emotions, including admiration, fear, and competition. The father complex is also a concept within psychoanalytic theory, and it is seen as a counterpart to the Oedipus complex. Both of these concepts are central to Freud's ideas about the development of personality and the formation of relationships.

What is the complex conjugate of a complex number?
The complex conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the number. For a complex number of the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part, the complex conjugate is a - bi. In other words, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the reflection of the number across the real axis in the complex plane. The complex conjugate is denoted by adding a bar over the number, for example, the complex conjugate of z is denoted as z̅.
-
What are complex numbers and what does complex conjugate mean?
Complex numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit (√-1). The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is denoted as a - bi, where the sign of the imaginary part is flipped. Geometrically, the complex conjugate reflects the original complex number across the real axis on the complex plane. The product of a complex number and its complex conjugate is always a real number.

Systems Ultra : Making Sense of Technology in a Complex World
Systems Ultra explores how we experience complex systems: the mesh of things, people, and ideas interacting to produce their own patterns and behaviours. What does it mean when a car which runs on code drives dangerously?What does massmarket graphics software tell us about the workplace politics of architects? And, in these human-made systems, which phenomena are designed, and which are emergent?In a world of networked technologies, global supply chains, and supranational regulations, there are growing calls for a new kind of literacy around systems and their ramifications.At the same time, we are often told these systems are impossible to fully comprehend and are far beyond our control. Drawing on field research and artistic practice around the industrial settings of ports, air traffic control, architectural software, payment platforms in adult entertainment, and car crash testing, Georgina Voss argues that complex systems can be approached as sites of revelation around scale, time, materiality, deviance, and breakages.With humour and guile, she tells the story of what 'systems' have come to mean, how they have been sold to us, and the real-world consequences of the power that flows through them. Systems Ultra goes beyond narratives of technological exceptionalism to explore how we experience the complex systems which influence our lives, how to understand them more clearly, and, perhaps, how to change them.

What is a pi complex and what is a sigma complex?
A pi complex is a type of coordination complex in which the metal ion is coordinated to a ligand through pi bonds. This type of complex typically involves the interaction of a metal ion with a ligand that contains a pi-bonding system, such as an aromatic ring or an alkene group. On the other hand, a sigma complex is a type of coordination complex in which the metal ion is coordinated to a ligand through sigma bonds. This type of complex typically involves the direct interaction of a metal ion with a ligand through the overlap of atomic orbitals, resulting in the formation of a sigma bond. Both pi and sigma complexes are important in the field of coordination chemistry and play a crucial role in the reactivity and stability of coordination compounds.

What are complex numbers?
Complex numbers are numbers that consist of a real part and an imaginary part, usually written in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part, 'b' is the imaginary part, and 'i' is the imaginary unit (√-1). These numbers are used in mathematics to solve equations that have no real solutions, such as the square root of a negative number. Complex numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided, just like real numbers. They are an essential part of many branches of mathematics and physics.
