 Alexander Histories and Iranian Reflections: Remnants of Propaganda and Resistance By Parivash Jamzadeh 2012 | 193 Pages | ISBN: 9004217460 | PDF | 1 MB Alexander the Great's military campaign to conquer the Achaemenid empire included a propaganda campaign to convince the Iranians his kingship was compatible with their religious and cultural norms. This campaign proved so successful that the overt display of Alexander's Iranian and Zoroastrian preferences alienated some of his Greek and Macedonian allies. Parivash Jamzadeh shows how this original propaganda material displayed multiple layers of Iranian influences. Additionally she demonstrates that the studied sources do not always offer an accurate account of the contemporary Iranian customs, and occasionally included historical inaccuracies.One of the most interesting finds in this study is the confusion of historical sources that arose between the opponents Darius III and Alexander. Jamzadeh argues that the Iranian propaganda regarding Alexander the Great has contributed to this confusion.  Agile Coach to Chief Agility Officer: Placing the agile coach on the leadership team by Steve Peacocke English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B5NZ2BSY | 135 pages | EPUB | 1.79 Mb This book opens the discussion in favor of appointing a Chief Agility Officer in your organization.  Frank R. Baumgartner, Bryan D. Jones, "Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition" English | 2009 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 0226039498, 0226039471 | PDF | 30,8 mb When Agendas and Instability in American Politics appeared fifteen years ago, offering a profoundly original account of how policy issues rise and fall on the national agenda, the Journal of Politics predicted that it would "become a landmark study of public policy making and American politics." That prediction proved true and, in this long-awaited second edition, Bryan Jones and Frank Baumgartner refine their influential argument and expand it to illuminate the workings of democracies beyond the United States.  Jessica Faleiro, "Afterlife: Ghost Stories from Goa" English | 2012 | ISBN: 8129120828 | EPUB | pages: 170 | 0.4 mb  After the Destruction of Giant Buddha Statues in Bamiyan (Afghanistan) in 2001: A UNESCO's Emergency Activity for the Recovering and Rehabilitation of Cliff and Niches By Claudio Margottini (auth.), Claudio Margottini (eds.) 2014 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 3642300502 | PDF | 33 MB This work reports on a real adventure in earth science and conservation, dealing with the UNESCO's emergency activities implemented in Bamiyan (Central Afghanistan) for the recovery and rehabilitation of the cliff and niches after the destruction of the two famous Giant Statues in 2001.Since 2002 an international effort has been made to understand the geological characteristics of the area, the mechanical properties of local materials, petro-geophysical and sedimentological details as well as the historical and geological evolution of the Statues and cliff. Taken together, this information serves as a basis for the recovery and rehabilitation of the cliff and niches and is presented in detail.  Rieky Stuart, "Advancing Gender Equality in Bangladesh: Twenty Years of BRAC's Gender Quality Action Learning Programme " English | ISBN: 0367248077 | 2019 | 162 pages | EPUB | 2 MB In 1994, BRAC, the world's largest NGO, made headlines by putting women's rights centre stage in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world. The Gender Quality Action Learning (GQAL) Programme was one of the very first large-scale efforts to mainstream gender equality and aimed to weave objectives of gender equality throughout its own microfinance, education and health services.  Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement English | 2022 | ISBN: 1771889675 | 291 Pages | PDF (True) | 17 MB This new volume, Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive treatment of the sorghum crop. With the world's production of sorghum topping over 55 million tons annually, sorghum is very important for as a staple dietary food for much of the world as a rich source of micronutrients and macronutrients, as an ingredient in the processing of many foods, and as a source of fodder.  Advances in Soil Liquefaction Engineering by Yoshimichi Tsukamoto English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 195 Pages | ISBN : 9811554781 | 44 MB This book describes recent developments in soil liquefaction engineering and introduces more appropriate procedures than the current ones to evaluate triggering and consequences of soil liquefaction during earthquakes. The topics therefore cover all aspects of soil behaviour following liquefaction during earthquakes.  Advances in Artificial Intelligence: 15th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2013, Madrid, Spain, September 17-20, 2013. Proceedings By Enrique Machuca, Lawrence Mandow, Lucie Galand (auth.), Concha Bielza, Antonio Salmerón, Amparo Alonso-Betanzos, J. Ignacio Hidalgo, Luis Martínez, Alicia Troncoso, Emilio Corchado, Juan M. Corchado (eds.) 2013 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 3642406424 | PDF | 9 MB This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 20013, held in Madrid, Spain, in September 2013. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 66 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Constraints, search and planning, intelligent Web and information retrieval, fuzzy systems, knowledge representation, reasoning and logic, machine learning, multiagent systems, multidisciplinary topics and applications, metaheuristics, uncertainty in artificial intelligence.  Advanced X-Ray Radiation Detection: Medical Imaging and Industrial Applications English | 2023 | ISBN: 3030929884 | 282 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB This book offers readers an overview of some of the most recent advances in the field of technology for X-ray medical imaging. Coverage includes both technology and applications in SPECT, PET and CT, with an in-depth review of the research topics from leading specialists in the field. Coverage includes conversion of the X-ray signal into analogue/digital value, as well as a review of CMOS chips for X-ray image sensors. Emphasis is on high-Z materials like CdTe, CZT and GaAs, since they offer the best implementation possibilities for direct conversion X-ray detectors. The discussion includes material challenges, detector operation physics and technology and readout integrated circuits required to detect signals processes by high-Z sensors. Authors contrast these emerging technologies with more established ones based on scintillator materials. This book is an excellent reference for people already working in the field as well as for people wishing to enter it. |
