 Analog Communication Techniques Engineering Handbook by Engineering Handbook English | June 12, 2019 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07T5JP786 | 470 pages | PDF | 9.54 Mb Analog Communication Techniques Engineering Handbook  Bruce P. Palka, "An Introduction to Complex Function Theory" English | 1995 | ISBN: 038797427X | 560 pages | PDF | 42.9 MB This book provides a rigorous yet elementary introduction to the theory of analytic functions of a single complex variable. While presupposing in its readership a degree of mathematical maturity, it insists on no formal prerequisites beyond a sound knowledge of calculus. Starting from basic definitions, the text slowly and carefully develops the ideas of complex analysis to the point where such landmarks of the subject as Cauchy's theorem, the Riemann mapping theorem, and the theorem of Mittag-Leffler can be treated without sidestepping any issues of rigor. The emphasis throughout is a geometric one, most pronounced in the extensive chapter dealing with conformal mapping, which amounts essentially to a "short course" in that important area of complex function theory. Each chapter concludes with a wide selection of exercises, ranging from straightforward computations to problems of a more conceptual and thought-provoking nature.  American Cipher: Bowe Bergdahl and the U.S. Tragedy in Afghanistan by Penguin Press English | March 12, 2019 | ISBN: 0735221049 | 400 pages | PDF | 20 Mb [b]The explosive narrative of the life, captivity, and trial of Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier who was abducted by the Taliban and whose story has served as a symbol for America's foundering war in Afghanistan  William J. Helmer, "Al Capone and His American Boys: Memoirs of a Mobster's Wife" English | ISBN: 0253356067 | 2011 | 400 pages | PDF | 8 MB When her husband was murdered on the orders of Chicago mobster Frank Nitti, Georgette Winkeler-wife of one of Al Capone's "American Boys"-set out to expose the Chicago Syndicate. After an attempt to publish her story was squelched by the mob, she offered it to the FBI in the mistaken belief that they had the authority to strike at the racketeers who had killed her husband Gus. Discovered 60 years later in FBI files, the manuscript describes the couple's life on the run, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre (Gus was one of the shooters), and other headline crimes of that period. Prepared for publication by mob expert William J. Helmer, Al Capone and His American Boys is a compelling contemporary account of the heyday of Chicago crime by a woman who found herself married to the mob.  Yongfu Huang, Unai Pascual, "Aid Effectiveness for Environmental Sustainability" English | 2017 | pages: 479 | ISBN: 9811053782 | PDF | 4,9 mb This collection examines the role that foreign aid can play in dealing with the severe global challenge of climate change, one of the most pressing international development issues of the 21st century. Addressing the key threats of rising temperatures, changes in precipitation, coastal erosion and natural disasters, the book considers the implications for policy and future research, particularly in developing countries. Focusing on the worth of foreign aid in ensuring environmental sustainability, this collection consider how it can be used to improve access to sustainable energy, to promote efficient use of energy resources, to improveemission reduction andsupport the preservation of biodiversity in forests. Advancing our knowledge about foreign aid and climate change, it provides policy recommendations for the donors and recipient country governments. A cutting edge text on one of the most pressing international development issues of this century, this is key reading for all scholars of international development and climate change.  After Sound: Toward a Critical Music by G. Douglas Barrett English | August 11, 2016 | ISBN: 1501308114, 1501308122 | EPUB | 256 pages | 0.5 MB After Sound considers contemporary art practices that reconceive music beyond the limitation of sound. This book is called After Sound because music and sound are, in Barrett's account, different entities. While musicology and sound art theory alike typically equate music with pure instrumental sound, or absolute music, Barrett posits music as an expanded field of artistic practice encompassing a range of different media and symbolic relationships. The works discussed in After Sound thus use performance, text scores, musical automata, video, social practice, and installation while they articulate a novel aesthetic space for a radically engaged musical practice. Coining the term "critical music," this book examines a diverse collection of art projects which intervene into specific political and philosophical conflicts by exploring music's unique historical forms.  After Enlightenment: Hamann as Post-Secular Visionary By John R. Betz 2008 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 1405162465 | PDF | 3 MB After Enlightenment: The Post-Secular Vision of J. G. Hamann is a comprehensive introduction to the life and works of 18th-century German philosopher, J. G. Hamann, the founding father of what has come to be known as Radical Orthodoxy. Provides a long-overdue, comprehensive introduction to Haman’s fascinating life and controversial works, including his role as a friend and critic of Kant and some of the most renowned German intellectuals of the age Features substantial new translations of the most important passages from across Hamann’s writings, some of which have never been translated into English Examines Hamann’s highly original views on a range of topics, including faith, reason, revelation, Christianity, biblical exegesis, Socrates, theological aesthetics, language, sexuality, religion, politics, and the relationship between Judaism and Christianity Presents Hamann as the 'founding father’ of a distinctly post-modern, post-secular theology and, as such, as an alternative to the вЂpostmodern triumvirate’ of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida Considers Hamann’s work as a touchtone of modern Jewish-Christian dialogue, in view of debates with his friend Moses Mendelssohn Explores Hamann’s role as the visionary founder of a вЂmetacritical’ movement that radically calls into question the basic principles of modern secular reason, and thus reprises the debate between those defending Hamann’s views and those labeling him the bГЄte noir of the Enlightenment  African American Literature : An Encyclopedia for Students by Hans A. Ostrom and J. David Macey English | 2020 | ISBN: 1440871507 | 454 Pages | PDF | 4.93 MB  Advances in Statistical Modeling and Inference: Essays in Honor of Kjell a Doksum By Vijay Nair, Vijay Nair 2007 | 698 Pages | ISBN: 9812703691 | PDF | 10 MB There have been major developments in the field of statistics over the last quarter century, spurred by the rapid advances in computing and data-measurement technologies. These developments have revolutionized the field and have greatly influenced research directions in theory and methodology. Increased computing power has spawned entirely new areas of research in computationally-intensive methods, allowing us to move away from narrowly applicable parametric techniques based on restrictive assumptions to much more flexible and realistic models and methods. These computational advances have also led to the extensive use of simulation and Monte Carlo techniques in statistical inference. All of these developments have, in turn, stimulated new research in theoretical statistics. This volume provides an up-to-date overview of recent advances in statistical modeling and inference. Written by renowned researchers from across the world, it discusses flexible models, semi-parametric methods and transformation models, nonparametric regression and mixture models, survival and reliability analysis, and re-sampling techniques. With its coverage of methodology and theory as well as applications, the book is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners.  Advances in Chemical Physics, Vol. 141 By Stuart A. Rice 2009 | 565 Pages | ISBN: 0470417137 | PDF | 39 MB The Advances in Chemical Physics series presents the cutting edge in every area of the discipline and provides the field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances. It provides an editorial framework that makes the book an excellent supplement to advanced graduate classes, with contributions from experts around the world and a handy glossary for easy reference on new terminology. This series is a wonderful guide for students and professionals in chemical physics and physical chemistry, from academia, government, and industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. |
