Itdeals with non standard mechanics which frequently appear in realtechnical applications. Examples include the simulation of carcrashes, human joints, car tyres, rubber seals and metal formingprocesses. Modern numerical simulation methods are used to modelthese objects and their behaviour. Eugeniusz Cyran, "Complexity Scales and Licensing in Phonology" English | 2010 | ISBN: 3110221497 | PDF | pages: 323 | 1.6 mb The aim of this book is to demonstrate that, in a representation-based model, the phonological organization of speech sounds within a word is reducible to the licensing properties of nuclei with respect to structurally defined complexities which pose varying demands on the licenser. It is assumed that the primitive licensing relation is that between a nucleus and its onset (O N). There are two main types of complexities concerning the onset position. Substantive complexity is an important aspect of phonological organisation at the melodic level, while the syllabic configurations in which the onset may be found are referred to under the heading of formal complexity.At the melodic level, complexity is defined in terms of the number of privative primes called elements. The asymmetries in the subsegmental representations of consonants and vowels are shown to play a pivotal role in understanding a number of phenomena, such as typological patterns, markedness effects, phonological processes, segmental inventories, and, what is most important, the model allows us to see a direct connection between phonological representations and processes. For example, the deletion of [g] in Welsh initial mutations is strictly related to the fact that the prime which crucially defines this object also happens to be the target of Soft Mutation.The complexity at the syllabic level is defined in terms of formal onset configurations called governing relations, of which some are easier to license than others. The formal complexity scale is not rerankable, and corresponds directly to the markedness of syllabic types. Since each formal configuration requires licensing from the following nucleus, syllable typology can be directly derived from the licensing strength of nuclei. The interaction between the higher prosodic organisation, for example, the level of the foot, and the syllabic leve Marzena Watorek, Sandra Benazzo, Maya Hickmann, "Comparative Perspectives on Language Acquisition: A Tribute to Clive Perdue" English | 2012 | ISBN: 1847696031 | PDF | pages: 624 | 6.5 mb [center] Julie S Huffaker, "Coffee Basics: A Quick and Easy Guide" English | ISBN: 0471136174 | | 216 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 2 MB + 2 MB Put your local coffee bar to the test with Coffee Basics!

Jonathan Miles-Watson, "Christianity and Belonging in Shimla, North India: Sacred Entanglements of a Himalayan Landscape " English | ISBN: 1350050172 | 2020 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book explores the material religion of contemporary Shimla, a vibrant postcolonial city, famed for its colonial heritage, set against the backdrop of the North-Western Himalayas. Jonathan Miles-Watson demonstrates that this landscape is able to peacefully reconcile the apparent tensions of faith, heritage and identity in a way that unseats traditional theories of religion, politics and heritage. It presents a mystery that is written in space through time; the
Bruno Sarmento, "Chitosan-Based Systems for Biopharmaceuticals: Delivery, Targeting and Polymer Therapeutics" English | ISBN: 0470978325 | 2012 | 584 pages | PDF | 6 MB Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide commercially produced by the deacetylation of chitin. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible, and acts as a bioadhesive with otherwise unstable biomolecules - making it a valuable component in the formulation of biopharmaceutical drugs. |
