 American Literature in Transition, 1820-1860: Volume 2 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108475361 | 449 Pages | PDF | 4 MB The essays in American Literature in Transition, 1820-1860 offer a new approach to the antebellum era, one that frames the age not merely as the precursor to the Civil War but as indispensable for understanding present crises around such issues as race, imperialism, climate change, and the role of literature in American society. The essays make visible and usable the period's fecund imagined futures, futures that certainly included disunion but not only disunion. Tracing the historical contexts, literary forms and formats, global coordinates, and present reverberations of antebellum literature and culture, the essays in this volume build on existing scholarship while indicating exciting new avenues for research and teaching. Taken together, the essays in this volume make this era's literature relevant for a new generation of students and scholars.
 American Camp Association's Accreditation Standards for Camp Programs and Services By American Camp Association 2011 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 1606791850 | EPUB | 3 MB A comprehensive resource for youth agencies, institutions, businesses, and libraries featuring ACA s 2012 camp programs and services accreditation standards and implementation guidelines in a perfect-bound volume. To the public, ACA accreditation means that ACA has evaluated the entire camp operation. The 2012 standards are designed to do just that covering all the major services and programs offered. The main purpose of the ACA accreditation program is to educate camp owners and directors in the administration of key aspects of camp operation, particularly those related to program quality and the health and safety of campers and staff. The standards establish guidelines for implementing policies, procedures, and practices. Another purpose of ACA accreditation is to assist the public in selecting camps that meet industry-accepted and government-recognized standards.

 David J. Lu, "Agony of Choice: Matsuoka Yosuke and the Rise and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1880-1946 " English | ISBN: 0739104586 | 2003 | 328 pages | PDF | 16 MB Agony of Choice, the life of Japanese statesman and diplomat Matsuoka Yosuke, offers a vivid narrative of twentieth-century Japanese diplomatic history. Matsuoka was an American-educated Japanese foreign minister who became a vocal advocate of Japanese expansionism in echo of the America he so admired. His promotion of alliances and relationships with countries such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, however, not only led Japan to war with the United States but also led to Matsuoka's involvement with and eventual indictment for atrocities committed during the war. Through extensive archival research and fascinating personal interviews, David Lu explores Matsuoka's pivotal role in the drama of Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations, empire-building in Asia, and the development of interwar Japanese politics.  Aesthetics of Universal Knowledge by Simon Schaffer English | PDF | 2017 | 280 Pages | ISBN : 3319425943 | 8.7 MB Born out of a major international dialogue held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy, this collection of essays presents innovative and provocative arguments about the claims of universal knowledge schemes and the different aesthetic and material forms in which such claims have been made and executed. Contributors take a close look at everything from religious pilgrimages, museums, and maps of the world, to search engines and automated GPS.

 Advances in Condition Monitoring of Machinery in Non-Stationary Operations: Proceedings of the third International Conference on Condition Monitoring of Machinery in Non-Stationary Operations CMMNO 2013 By Nicolò Bachschmid, Steven Chatterton (auth.), Giorgio Dalpiaz, Riccardo Rubini, Gianluca D'Elia, Marco Cocconcelli, Fakher Chaari, Radoslaw Zimroz, Walter Bartelmus, Mohamed Haddar (eds.) 2014 | 709 Pages | ISBN: 3642393470 | PDF | 22 MB This book presents the processing of the third edition of the Condition Monitoring of Machinery in Non-Stationary Operations (CMMNO13), which was held in Ferrara, Italy. This yearly event merges an international community of researchers who met - in 2011 in Wroclaw (Poland) and in 2012 in Hammamet (Tunisia) - to discuss issues of diagnostics of rotating machines operating in complex motion and/or load conditions. The growing interest of the industrial world on the topics covered by the CMMNO13 involves the fields of packaging, automotive, agricultural, mining, processing and wind machines in addition to that of the systems for data acquisition. The participation of speakers and visitors from industry makes the event an opportunity for immediate assessment of the potential applications of advanced methodologies for the signal analysis. Signals acquired from machines often contain contributions from several different components as well as noise. Therefore, the major challenge of condition monitoring is to point out the signal content that is related to the state of the monitored component particularly in non-stationary conditions.
 Advances in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow Simulation: New Methods and Challenging Computations by Yuri Bazilevs English | EPUB | 2016 | 500 Pages | ISBN : 3319408259 | 10.5 MB This contributed volume celebrates the work of Tayfun E. Tezduyar on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The articles it contains were born out of the Advances in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow Simulation (AFSI 2014) conference, also dedicated to Prof. Tezduyar and held at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan on March 19-21, 2014. The contributing authors represent a group of international experts in the field who discuss recent trends and new directions in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI).  Advanced Oxidation Processes in Dye-Containing Wastewater: Volume 2 by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu English | PDF | 2022 | 412 Pages | ISBN : 9811908818 | 9.3 MB Textile industry wastewater contains toxic dyes as well as heavy metals and many other persistent organic compounds which are difficult to biodegrade using conventional biological methods. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are one of the best alternatives for the effective degradation of such compounds. This Volume 2 starts with homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton processes and reviews the application and variables that affect the process. |
