 Asma Iqbal, "Pakistani Englishes: Syntactic Variations" English | ISBN: 0367734761 | 2020 | 114 pages | PDF | 1359 KB This book explores how non-native speakers, especially in postcolonial states, use English to communicate. Focusing on Pakistan, the monograph analyzes word categories, phrase and sentence structures used in the region and compares them to British English. It draws extensively from language used in the media and uses Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) parsers to develop the phrase structures for qualitative analysis and a manual approach to quantify the frequency of various types of phrases. The volume also highlights the possible reasons for the differences and locates language use in context.  Nitric Oxide in Plant Physiology By Shamsul Hayat, Masaki Mori, John Pichtel, Aqil Ahmad 2009 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 3527325190 | PDF | 3 MB Written by a truly global team of researchers from Europe, Asia and the Americas with strong ties to agricultural research centers and the agrochemical industry, this ready reference and handbook focuses on the role of nitric oxide signaling in plant defense systems against pathogens, parasites and environmental stress response. This is one of the first titles to provide a comprehensive overview of the physiological role of this ubiquitous signaling molecule in higher plants, making it an indispensable resource not only for academic institutions but also for those working in the agrochemical industry.

Feagin, "Myth of the Model Minority: Asian Americans Facing Racism, Second Edition" English | 2014 | ISBN :1612054781 | 274 pages | PDF | 1.62 MB The second edition of this popular book adds important new research on how racial stereotyping is gendered and sexualized. New interviews show that Asian American men feel emasculated in America's male hierarchy. Women recount their experiences of being exoticized, subtly and otherwise, as sexual objects. The new data reveal how race, gender, and sexuality intersect in the lives of Asian Americans. The text retains all the features of the renowned first edition, which offered the first in-depth exploration of how Asian Americans experience and cope with everyday racism. The book depicts the "double consciousness" of many Asian Americans―experiencing racism but feeling the pressures to conform to popular images of their group as America's highly achieving "model minority."

Modernism and the Theater of Censorship by Adam Parkes English | February 22, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0195097025 | 256 pages | PDF | 16,4 MB Adam Parkes investigates the literary and cultural implications of the censorship encountered by several modern novelists in the early twentieth century. He situates modernism in the context of this censorship, examining the relations between such authors as D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Radclyffe Hall, and Virginia Woolf and the public controversies generated by their fictional explorations of modern sexual themes.  Mind Wars: Brain Research and National Defense By Jonathan D. Moreno 2006 | 231 Pages | ISBN: 1932594167 | PDF | 2 MB I don't mind * what they research * what kind of fund they receive and research, as long as the experiments and influence doesn't undermine my own freedom.In this arena, there are three parties: * Pure Interested Researchers, * Funder, * and Victims. Dr. Moreno juggled himself where he stands through his book, is it important? No - I have been a victim for 15 years. What they do, 1) Under wireless MEDUSA, which says every 5-6 seconds, 24/7 commanding me what to do. (all these you can turn around and see the direction of the sound coming.) 2) Fire the pulsed directed energy at me, (my skin vibrates it. PPS(pulsed periodic stimuli) which caused internal breeding while urination.) 3) while in the sleep period, they fired the words -----> We will kill your family. repeatedly and loudly, which caused the alternating the dream. 4) while I was in bed for resting, the infra-wave fired at my body and I felt I was floating on the sea water wave. when my head goes up, my abdomen areas goes down. I love this experiences but they never repeated. 5) Recently, they asked while I was supposed to be in sleep, "Everything is finished except the visual perception part." asking what I do know : They call it secret. I myself studied neuroscience for two years.So, I can be researcher side as well as victim's side.Researcher's side could complain I have done nothing wrong.And it is the right argument. However, now they have just begun to learn the effect of what they have done.That's good news.The major agonizing issue is what the researchers did is affecting the freedom in a great deal to the people inthe rest of the world. All things are done REMOTELY and WITHOUT CONSENT. The most interesting question that I would like to raiseis to the researcher, To the funder, you are an asset to protect. Once you are no longer an interesting asset, never forget, in any minute, your place can be switched from the observer of the remote human experiment to the human lab-rats.Can researcher's side possibly imagine it? When funders think they are no longer useful as a researcher... Perhaps, using another researcher's work,the funder could kill remotely, but looked like a naturaldeath. I question what would be the last word of justmurdered researcher...  Microwave Measurements By R. Collier, D. Skinner, R. J. Collier, A. D. Skinner 2007 | 506 Pages | ISBN: 0863417353 | PDF | 4 MB The IET has organised training courses on microwave measurements since 1983, at which experts have lectured on modern developments. Their lecture notes were first published in book form in 1985 and then again in 1989, and they have proved popular for many years with a readership beyond those who attended the courses. The purpose of this third edition of the lecture notes is to bring the latest techniques in microwave measurements to this wider audience. The book begins with a survey of the theory of current microwave circuits and continues with a description of the techniques for the measurement of power, spectrum, attenuation, circuit parameters, and noise. Various other areas like measurements of antenna characteristics, free fields, modulation and dielectric parameters are also included. The emphasis throughout is on good measurement practice. All the essential theory is given and a previous knowledge of the subject is not assumed.
