 Sean Irving, "Hayek's Market Republicanism: The Limits of Liberty " English | ISBN: 1138390976 | 2019 | 180 pages | PDF | 926 KB Friedrich Hayek was the 20th century's most significant free market theorist. Over the course of his long career he developed an analysis of the danger that state power can pose to individual liberty. In rejecting much of the liberal tradition's concern for social justice and democratic participation, Hayek would help clear away many intellectual obstacles to the emergence of neoliberalism in the last quarter of the 20th century.  Handbook of optical and laser scanning By Gerald F. Marshall, Glenn E. Stutz 2004 | 784 Pages | ISBN: 0824755693 | PDF | 12 MB Working in optics, I purchased this book to get a wider scope of scanning techniques and possible optical schemes. The book is thick, up to eight hundred pages, and expensive. So, I expected a variety of optical schemes for laser/optical scanning. But I was disappointed with a great amount of topics, filling this book, which do not relate to scanning. For example, the chapters about M2 model, optical disk technology, image quality for scanning, are interesting in general but have rather distant relation to scanning. The chapter about motors and controllers is interesting, presenting the state-of-art of this technology, but it is overfilled with large, up to a page size, pictures which do not contain any information. For example, several pictures of printed-circuit boards with a great number of indistinguishable electronic components could be easily removed without any harm to the book. Also I doubt that pictures of standard diamond turning center, thin film deposition chamber, and other conventional industry technology are of any interest for professionals. At the same time such topics as infrared imaging scanners, reconnaissance systems, MEMS scanning/switching devices are completely ignored, as well as the rotating wedges technology. Summarizing, the size of this book could be made much smaller and the price lower without any loss of information.  Getting Started with Google BERT: Build and train state-of-the-art natural language processing models using BERT by Sudharsan Ravichandiran English | 2021 | ISBN: 1838821597 | 330 Pages | true EPUB | 40 MB  Ramakrushna Pradhan, "Geopolitics of Energy in Central Asia" English | ISBN: 0367695898 | 2020 | 328 pages | PDF | 37 MB This book focuses on the geopolitics of Central Asia which has emerged as the new fertile ground for oil and energy resources. It analyses the scramble for energy and control over the region by many nations and their diplomatic manoeuvrings to ensure energy sufficiency and economic growth.  Functional Organic Materials: Syntheses, Strategies and Applications By Thomas J. J. Müller, Uwe H. F. Bunz 2007 | 615 Pages | ISBN: 3527313028 | PDF | 13 MB This timely overview of the syntheses for functional pi-systems focuses on target molecules that have shown interesting properties as materials or models in physics, biology and chemistry. The unique concept allows readers to select the right synthetic strategy for success, making it invaluable for a number of industrial applications. A "must have" for everyone working in this new and rapidly expanding field.  Haoda Feng, "Form, Meaning and Function in Collocation: A Corpus Study on Commercial Chinese-to-English Translation " English | ISBN: 0367321300 | 2020 | 198 pages | PDF | 7 MB The issue of differences between translational language and native-speaker language has become a topic of increasing interest in linguistics and Translation Studies (TS). One of the primary tasks in this research area is to employ a corpus approach and analyse collocations with authentic language data by comparing comparable corpora consisting of translated and native-speaker texts. Collocation in linguistics and TS refers to the relationship of co-occurrence between lexical items. The book shows that examining the use of collocations constitutes an integral part in assessing the naturalness of second language (L2) use, and therefore can be a valid measure to make a distinction between translational language and native-speaker language.  Fell's Super Power Memory by Harry Lorayne English | ISBN: 0883910500 | 224 pages | EPUB | February 15, 2001 | 2.53 Mb There is no such thing as a poor memory―only a trained or untrained one. Harry Lorayne proves it by showing that anyone can accomplish amazing memory feats with speed and ease. With his "link method" of memory, you will be able to remember prices, phone numbers, facts, events, school work―anything of interest to you―including the power to recall faces and names a year later, memorize a speech from a script in minutes and more.  Tamara M. Brown, "Family and Work in Everyday Ethnography" English | ISBN: 1439910758 | 2013 | 228 pages | PDF | 796 KB Family and Work in Everyday Ethnography exposes the intimate relationship between ethnographers as both family members and researchers. The contributors to this exciting volume question and problematize the "artificial divide" between work and family that continues to permeate writing on ethnographic field work as social scientists try to juggle research and family tensions while "on the job."  D N Dwivedi, "Essentials of Business Economics" English | ISBN: 8125924000 | 2010 | 466 pages | PDF | 6 MB This book is a short and simpler version of the author's popular book Managerial Economics, and is focused at undergraduates. The need for such a book arose due to the rapidly growing demand for professional managerial manpower over the past two decades, as a result of which, most Indian universities and the mushrooming management institutes had to introduce degree and diploma courses right at the undergraduate level, with 'Business Economics' as a separate paper. The subject matter of this book is based largely on the model syllabus of Business Economics recommended by the UGC for BBA students, though it contains many other topics for the sake of completeness of the subject and for covering the syllabi of a large number of universities. This book is intended to meet the requirement of the undergraduate students of business administration, i.e., BBA, BBE, B Com, and PGDBM courses run by the Indian universities and management institutes. Although this book is based largely on the author's Managerial Economics, there is a good deal of difference between the two in respect of the scope of the subject matter and the level of analytical treatment. Managerial Economics has been written with a wider scope and perspective, encompassing both microeconomic and macroeconomic aspects of managerial decision-making, whereas the scope of this book is confined to only microeconomic aspects of managerial economics. However, some new chapters and sections have been added here to meet the syllabi requirement of various universities. Another and a major difference between the two books is the level of treatment of the subject matter. Whereas Managerial Economics being a higher level book, is more technical especially in respect of the theoretical aspects, the treatment of the subject matter in this book is relatively simple and elaborate. The book is written with the objective of making the subject of business economics easily comprehensible to undergraduate students. The attempt has been made to present the subject matter in a siample, clear and lucid manner keeping in mind the target section of the students. I am sure that the book will meet the purpose with which it has been written.  Environmental Impact of Power Generation By R.M. Harrison, HESTER, HARRISON 1999 | 141 Pages | ISBN: 0854042504 | PDF | 3 MB Discusses the impact of industrial performance standards and use of Nuclear fuel and a historical overview of electricity supply. Discusses the common perception that these and other industries are responsible for air pollution and land contamination, and the steps these industries are taking. Softcover. |
