This book is the ninth of 15 related monographs, discusses a two product-cubic dynamical system possessing different product-cubic structures and the equilibrium and flow singularity and bifurcations for appearing and switching bifurcations. The appearing bifurcations herein are parabola-saddles, saddle-sources (sinks), hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic-secant flows, and inflection-source (sink) flows. The switching bifurcations for saddle-source (sink) with hyperbolic-to-hyperbolic-secant flows and parabola-saddles with inflection-source (sink) flows are based on the parabola-source (sink), parabola-saddles, inflection-saddles infinite-equilibriums. The switching bifurcations for the network of the simple equilibriums with hyperbolic flows are parabola-saddles and inflection-source (sink) on the inflection-source and sink infinite-equilibriums. Readers will learn new concepts, theory, phenomena, and analysis techniques.

Sfruttando i poteri nascosti delle pietre preziose, Ginevra è in grado di guarire i malati. Ma è un dono che è anche una maledizione – condannata come strega, viene cacciata da Firenze. È il 1348. L’esilio di Ginevra dura da quasi dieci anni quando viene convocata di nuovo a Firenze. La peste nera sta devastando l’Italia, e gli stessi uomini che l’hanno cacciata implorano il suo ritorno. Ginevra acconsente a tornare, certa che, finalmente, le sue cure non ortodosse saranno accettate: c’è pur sempre un’epidemia in corso. Ma la missione che le viene affidata è, invece, molto diversa: dovrà usare la sua collezione di pietre per rintracciare un ladro che sta saccheggiando le chiese di Firenze alla ricerca di reliquie dal valore inestimabile – l’unica speranza di protezione per la città. Se dovesse riuscire in questa missione sarà finalmente riconosciuta come medica, e non sarà mai più accusata di stregoneria. O forse no.

Product recalls affect thousands of products globally each year, impacting millions of customers and causing severe consequences for companies. For instance, Takata’s airbag recall cost $25 billion and led to bankruptcy. Similarly, a viral video showing a Kryptonite bike lock easily broken damaged customer trust significantly.
