 Birgit Beumers, "Ruptures and Continuities in Soviet/Russian Cinema: Styles, characters and genres before and after the collapse of the U" English | ISBN: 0367876574 | 2019 | 226 pages | EPUB | 5 MB This book, based on extensive original research, examines how far the collapse of the Soviet Union represented a threshold that initiated change or whether there are continuities which gradually reshaped cinema in the new Russia. The book considers a wide range of films and film-makers and explores their attitudes to genre, character and aesthetic style. The individual chapters demonstrate that, whereas genres shifted and characters developed, stylistic choices remained largely unaffected.  Runtime Verification: A Hands-On Approach in Java by Christian Colombo English | 2022 | ISBN: 303109266X | 209 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB  Rugbeians in the Great War by Daniel J McLean English | February 8, 2020 | ISBN: 1526742853 | 321 pages | PDF | 37 Mb Few schools can claim to have had such a deep and diverse effect on British history as Rugby. Its influence on the sporting field is well-known, but this book examines the roles played by Rugbeians in many different spheres during the Great War. Politicians and academics, Olympians and artists all left their ordinary lives to fight for their country and it was their school which bound them together. Some such as Ernest Swinton, inventor of the tank, and Maurice Hankey, Cabinet Secretary, had direct influence on the shaping of the conflict, whereas others such as Duncan Mackinnon (Olympic gold medal-winning rower) and the Cawley brothers (both Members of Parliament) are remembered primarily for their pre-war achievements. Until now there has never been a volume which traces the extent of Rugby's influence, but this book showcases the extraordinary range of individuals from the school who left their mark on the war and the world at large.  Routledge Handbook of Health and Media by Lester D. Friedman English | 2022 | ISBN: 036744108X | 493 Pages | PDF (True) | 113 MB  Riverine Border Practices: People's Everyday Lives on the Thai-Lao Mekong Border by Thanachate Wisaijorn English | PDF | 2022 | 207 Pages | ISBN : 9811628653 | 3.9 MB This book focuses on the ways in which unofficial modes of border crossings are practised by the Thai Ban, along the Mekong Thai-Lao border. In doing so, the book assesses how these border crossings can be theorised as a contribution to existing literature on borderland studies. With that, the book discusses the importance of the notion of the Third Space and its effects on the pluralities of border-crossings in the borderland by weaving together spatial negotiations, temporal negotiations, and negotiations of political subjectivity.  Zhaoyin Wang, Zhiwei Li, Mengzhen Xu, "River Morphodynamics and Stream Ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" English | 2016 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 1138027715 | PDF | 181,5 mb This book focuses on the river morphodynamics and stream ecology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The objective of the book is to summarize and synthesize the recent studies based on field surveys undertaken in the period 2007-2014. This book was written to serve as a graduate-level text for a course in river dynamics and stream ecology and as a reference text for engineers and researchers engaged in hydropower engineering, fluvial geomorphology and aquatic ecology. The first two chapters serve as an introduction of geomorphological characteristics as well as uplift and its impact on river morphology of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Chapters 3-5 cover meandering rivers and cutoff, wetlands and wetland shrinkage,desertification and restoration strategies in the Sanjiangyuan region. Chapter 6 discusses the interaction between erosion and vegetation, and Chapter 7 characterizes the aquatic ecology of the Yarlung Tsangpo and the Sanjiangyuan region.  H. Herdt Gilbert, "Rituals of Manhood" English | ISBN: 0765804050 | 2021 | 408 pages | EPUB | 5 MB Rituals of Manhood provides some of the most dramatic and richly textured accounts of ritual passages known to anthropologists of the late twentieth century. When in an earlier time anthropologists and sociologists described collective initiation rituals, the political and gender aspects of these practices were seldom underscored. Today, the power relationships of the body and domination, and the social arena of gender politics are widely regarded as critical to the cultural meaning and interpretation.  Rising from the Mailroom to the Boardroom: Unique Insights for Governance, Risk, Compliance and Audit Leaders English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367559994 | 482 Pages | EPUB | 10 MB  Grigorii B. Malykin, "Ring Interferometry" English | 2013 | pages: 321 | ISBN: 3110277247 | PDF | 3,8 mb This monograph is devoted to the creation of a comprehensive formalism for quantitative description of polarized modes' linear interaction in modern single-mode optic fibers. The theory of random connections between polarized modes, developed in the monograph, allows calculations of the zero shift deviations for a fiber ring interferometer. The monograph addresses also the Sagnac effect and the Thomas precession.  Reversible Logic Synthesis: From Fundamentals to Quantum Computing by Anas N. Al-Rabadi English | PDF | 2004 | 448 Pages | ISBN : 3540009353 | 5 MB This book presents for the first time comprehensive and systematic methods for the reversible synthesis of logic functions and multi-dimensional logic circuits. This methodology is able to solve major problems in system design today and in the future, namely the high rate of power consumption, and the emergence of quantum effects and properties for highly dense and nano-scale ICs. The challenge is to design nano-scale reliable systems that consume as little power as possible and in which the signals are processed and transmitted at very high speeds with very high signal integrity. Researchers in academia or industry and graduate students, who work in logic synthesis, computer design, computer-aided design tools, and low power VLSI circuit design, will be interested in this book. |
