 Musical Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction By Anne Danielsen (ed.) 2010 | 265 Pages | ISBN: 1409403408 | PDF | 5 MB "Musical Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction" presents new insights into the study of musical rhythm through investigations of the micro-rhythmic design of groove-based music. The main purpose of the book is to investigate how technological mediation - in the age of digital music production tools - has influenced the design of rhythm at the micro level. Through close readings of technology-driven popular music genres, such as contemporary R&B, hip-hop, trip-hop, electro-pop, electronica, house and techno, as well as played folk music styles, the book sheds light on how investigations of the musical-temporal relationships of groove-based musics might be fruitfully pursued, in particular with regard to their micro-rhythmic features. This book is based on contributions to the project Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction (RADR), a five-year research project running from 2004 to 2009 that was funded by the Norwegian Research Council.  Felicity Goodyear-Smith, "Murder That Wasn't: The Case of George Gwaze" English | 2015 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 1877578991 | EPUB | 1,7 mb This book tells the story of the case of Zimbabwean-born New Zealand resident George Gwaze, twice charged and twice acquitted of the rape and murder of his 10-year-old adopted niece, Charlene Makaza. When Charlene was found unconscious one morning, gasping for breath, with a high fever and lying in a pool of diarrhea, her family rushed her to the Christchurch 24-hour clinic. She was treated for overwhelming sepsis and transferred to the hospital, but sadly her life could not be saved. During the course of Charlene's short illness the diagnosis shifts from infection to sexual assault and homicide, and her grieving family finds themselves publicly engulfed in a criminal investigation. What unfolds next is a surreal set of events so improbable that they seem fictitious.Murder That Wasn'tmeticulously explores the facts surrounding this case based on scientific, medical, and court records and individual interviews to tell this family's extraordinary story.  Fritz Schweiger, "Multidimensional Continued Fractions" English | 2000 | ISBN: 0198506864 | DJVU | pages: 216 | 14.2 mb This work offers an overview of various aspects of multidimensional continued fractions, which are here defined through iteration of piecewise fractional linear maps. This includes the algorithms of Jacobi-Perron, Guting, Brun, and Selmer but it also includes continued fractions on simplices which are related to interval exchange maps or the Parry-Daniels map. New classes of subtractive algorithms are also included and the metric properties of these algorithms can be therefore investigated by methods of ergodic theory. The recent connection between multiplicative ergodic theory and Diophantine approximation presented, as well as several results on convergence and Perron's approach to periodicity, which has never appeared in print despite being published in 1907. Further chapters include the basic properties of continued fractions in the complex plane, connections with Hausdorff dimension and the Kuzmin theory for multidimensional maps.  Deirdre de la Cruz, "Mother Figured: Marian Apparitions and the Making of a Filipino Universal" English | ISBN: 022631488X | 2015 | 320 pages | PDF | 3 MB There is no female religious figure so widely known and revered as the Virgin Mary. Mary has inspired in cultures around the world a deep devotion, a desire to emulate her virtue, and a strong belief in her power. Perhaps no population has been so deeply affected by this maternal figure as Filipino Catholics, whose apparitions of Mary have increased in response to recent events, drawing from a broad repertoire of the Catholic supernatural and pulling attention to new articulations of Christianity in the Global South.  Mortem Cycle Collection One: House/Ship/Beyond by Tim Mendees English | January 23, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09R296JR3 | 650 pages | EPUB | 0.85 Mb This collection gathers the first three books in the Mortem Cycle. Horror tales from some of the foremost indie writers all within certain themes.  Monument Eternal: The Music of Alice Coltrane By Franya J. Berkman 2010 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0819569240 | PDF | 3 MB Alice Coltrane was a composer, improviser, guru, and widow of John Coltrane. Over the course of her musical life, she synthesized a wide range of musical genres including gospel, rhythm-and-blues, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. Her childhood experiences playing for African-American congregations in Detroit, the ecstatic and avant-garde improvisations she performed on the bandstand with her husband John Coltrane, and her religious pilgrimages to India reveal themselves on more than twenty albums of original music for the Impulse and Warner Brothers labels. In the late 1970s Alice Coltrane became a swami, directing an alternative spiritual community in Southern California. Exploring her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church pianist and bebopper, to guru Swami Turiya Sangitananda, Monument Eternal illuminates her music and, in turn, reveals the exceptional fluidity of American religious practices in the second half of the twentieth century. Most of all, this book celebrates the hybrid music of an exceptional, boundary-crossing African-American artist.  Molecular Diagnostics in Cytopathology: A Practical Handbook for the Practicing Pathologist by Sinchita Roy-Chowdhuri English | EPUB | 2019 | 531 Pages | ISBN : 3319973967 | 42.4 MB Molecular diagnostics are increasingly used to help guide targeted therapy in solid organ tumors and hematologic malignancies. A large proportion of molecular testing is performed on limited-volume samples obtained via minimally invasive techniques, such as fine needle aspiration. Increasingly, cytopathologists play an essential role in this process, both in the triage of specimens during rapid on-site evaluation and in the evaluation of archival samples to determine suitability for ancillary testing. Therefore, it is imperative that practicing cytopathologists stay abreast of up-to-date diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive ancillary tests that can be used on limited cytologic material. This is a challenge since the landscape of known genomic alterations is constantly evolving and the subsequent set of testing options is ever expanding.  Modernist Avant-Garde Aesthetics and Contemporary Military Technology: Technicities of Perception By Ryan Bishop, John Phillips 2010 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0748639888 | PDF | 2 MB New in Paperback. Examines the tensions between the aims of military technology and modernist aesthetics in relation to perception. This book analyses the operation of mechanical and electronic technologies in connection with two seemingly disparate fields: state-of-the-art military equipment of the 20th and 21st centuries and the experimental art, music and writing of the late-19th and early-20th century. Reading the art and writing of Djuna Barnes, Joseph Conrad, Marcel Duchamp, James Joyce, Mina Loy, Stephane Mallarme, the Italian Futurists and H. G. Wells against Apache attack helicopters, Network-Centric Warfare, satellites, decoys, sirens and radios, this book addresses issues such as targeting, surveillance, visibility and the invisible, broadcast and media, the military body, diasporas, geopolitics and beauty.  Gail Ukockis, "Misogyny: The New Activism" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0190876344 | PDF | pages: 337 | 18.0 mb New aspects of the misogyny that impacts girls and women worldwide continue to emerge every day. However, recent movements (e.g., #MeToo, Time's Up, the Women's March) indicate a strong hunger for a meaningful resource for thoughtful activists. Impassioned but practical, this book discusses  Mini farm construction guide: How to build a mini farm?: How to build a small farm? by BAGGETT JOHN English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09V2Y5M6Q | 82 pages | EPUB | 7.75 Mb Start a mini farm on a quarter acre or less, provide 85 percent of the food for a family of four and earn an income. |
