It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the "who am I" and "who are we" questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars.Dona Lee Davis conducted conversational interviews with twenty-two sets of identical twins attending the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, the largest such gathering in the world. Lively and often opinionated, each twin comes through as a whole person who at the same time maintains a special bond that the vast majority of people will never experience.The study provides a distinctive and enlightening insider's challenge to the nature/nurture debates that dominate contemporary research on twins. The author, herself an identical twin, draws on aspects of her own life to inform her analysis of the data throughout the text. Each chapter addresses a different theme from multiple viewpoints, including those of popular science writers, scientific researchers, and singletons, as well as those of the twins themselves. ![]() Turbulent Heating and Anisotropy in the Solar Wind: A Numerical Study by Victor Montagud-Camps English | PDF | 2019 | 123 Pages | ISBN : 3030303829 | 4 MB This book presents two important new findings. First, it demonstrates from first principles that turbulent heating offers an explanation for the non-adiabatic decay of proton temperature in solar wind. Until now, this was only proved with reduced or phenomenological models. Second, the book demonstrates that the two types of anisotropy of turbulent fluctuations that are observed in solar wind at 1AU originate not only from two distinct classes of conditions near the Sun but also from the imbalance in Alfvén wave populations. These anisotropies do not affect the overall turbulent heating if we take into account the relation observed in solar wind between anisotropy and Alfvén wave imbalance. ![]() Transactions on Engineering Technologies: International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2018 by Sio-Iong Ao English | PDF | 2019 | 364 Pages | ISBN : 9813298073 | 33.8 MB This book contains revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers, selected from presentations at the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists (IMECS 2018) held in Hong Kong, 14-16 March, 2018. Topics covered include engineering physics, communications systems, control theory, automation, engineering mathematics, scientific computing, electrical engineering, and industrial applications. ![]() Topics in Clifford Analysis: Special Volume in Honor of Wolfgang Sprößig by Swanhild Bernstein English | EPUB | 2019 | 503 Pages | ISBN : 3030238539 | 32 MB Quaternionic and Clifford analysis are an extension of complex analysis into higher dimensions. The unique starting point of Wolfgang Sprößig's work was the application of quaternionic analysis to elliptic differential equations and boundary value problems. Over the years, Clifford analysis has become a broad-based theory with a variety of applications both inside and outside of mathematics, such as higher-dimensional function theory, algebraic structures, generalized polynomials, applications of elliptic boundary value problems, wavelets, image processing, numerical and discrete analysis. ![]() Joseph Harris, "The Work of Teaching Writing: Learning from Fiction, Film, and Drama" English | ISBN: 1607329719 | 2020 | 184 pages | EPUB | 487 KB Film and literature can illuminate the experience of teaching and learning writing in ways that academic books and articles often miss. In particular, popular books and movies about teaching reveal the crucial importance of taking students seriously as writers and intellectuals. In this book, Joseph Harris explores how the work of teaching writing has been depicted in novels, films, and plays to reveal what teachers can learn from studying not just theories of discourse, rhetoric, or pedagogy but also accounts of the lived experience of teaching writing. ![]() The Ultimate Guide for Atkins Diet: Everything You Need to Know About the Famous Diet in the World by Renan Souza English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B093Z8W8NM | 70 pages | MOBI | 1.96 Mb The Atkins Diet has established itself over the decades as one of the most effective diets for weight loss and is the main secret of celebrities to have a dream abdomen, in this book you will know the basic principles of the diet and how to apply it in your day by day ![]() The Specter of Speciesism: Buddhist and Christian Views of Animals By Paul Waldau 2001 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0195145712 | PDF | 2 MB This new study looks at how non-human animals have been viewed in the Buddhist and Christian religious traditions. The concept of speciesism, coined in 1970 as an analogy to racism and discussed almost exclusively within philosophical circles, is used to explore very basic questions about which animals, human or otherwise, were significant to early Buddhists and Christians. Drawing on scriptures and interpretive traditions in Christianity and Buddhism, Waldau argues that decisions about human ethical responsibilities in both religions are deeply rooted in ancient understandings of the place of humans in the world and our relationships with other animals in an integrated cosmos. His study offers scholars and others interested in the bases for ethical decisions new insights into Christian and Buddhist reasoning about animals as well as what each might have to offer to the current discussions about animal rights and environmental ethics. ![]() The Palgrave Handbook of Servitization English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030757706 | 472 Pages | PDF EPUB | 21 MB Manufacturers have shifted their focus from products to smart solutions in search of higher returns and additional growth opportunities. This shift, described as servitization, or lately as a digital servitization, is not a simple process. Academic study has revealed that its issues are complex, problematic, contingent, and even paradoxical, involving multiple organizational layers, such as operations, strategic, relational, and even ecosystemic layers. Recent literature studies have called for improved theories in servitization, and even alternative narratives. In this handbook, the chapters take different perspectives towards servitization, digital servitization or Product-Service-Software systems, presenting and debating over concepts such as organizational transformation, change management, strategic management, business models, innovation and product-service operations. The handbook provides an opportunity to develop improved theoretical grounds for servitization, and thus to elaborate and develop the field further. This volume will be of great interest for the servitization community, including scholars, Ph.D. and master students, but also company managers, developers and consultants facilitating company's servitization efforts. |
