 Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam English | September 13, 2022 | ISBN: 1541603087, 1529377757 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 2.7 MB A groundbreaking global history of gender nonconformity  Becoming Bilingual Readers: Identity, Translanguaging, and Biographic Biliteracy Profiles By Bobbie Kabuto 2021 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 0367493926 | PDF | 2 MB Building on Bobbie Kabuto's groundbreaking 2010 book Becoming Biliterate, this book explores how identity impacts the development of bilingual readers and how reading practices are mediated by family and community contexts. Spotlighting bilingual readers from Spanish, Greek, Japanese and English language backgrounds, Kabuto offers an in-depth, interdisciplinary analysis of these readers' behaviors and identities through the original approach of Biographic Biliteracy Profiles. The Profiles serve as a culturally relevant assessment tool for developing meaningful narratives and can reveal how bilingual readers make sense of texts in the context of their home and school environments. An ideal approach for unpacking the complexity of bilingual reading behaviors and how they change across time, the Profiles allow readers to explore what a bilingual reader's identity means to becoming biliterate; the roles of code-switching and translanguaging; the influences of readers' families and communities; and how they all interact and shape readers' identities, behaviors and meaning-making. Offering practical applications on observing and documenting bilingual readers, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students in courses on bilingualism, L2/ESL reading, and multilingualism.  Irene Gammel, "Baroness Elsa: Gender, Dada, and Everyday Modernity-A Cultural Biography" English | 2003 | ISBN: 026257215X, 0262072319 | 562 pages | PDF | 26.7 MB The first biography of the enigmatic dadaist known as "the Baroness"-Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.  Authenticity: Reclaiming Reality in a Counterfeit Culture by Alice Sherwood English | 12 May 2022 | ISBN: 0008412626, 0008412650 | True EPUB | 416 pages | 26.1 MB 'Brilliantly witty, profoundly illuminating, Alice Sherwood is a master storyteller' Simon Schama  Adam Abraham, "Attack of the Monster Musical: A Cultural History of Little Shop of Horrors" English | ISBN: 1350179302 | 2022 | 256 pages | PDF | 52 MB How many hit musicals are based on films that were shot in two days at a budget of $30,000? The answer is one: Little Shop of Horrors. Roger Corman's monster movie opened in 1960, played the midnight circuit, and then disappeared from view. Two decades later, Little Shop of Horrors opened Off-Broadway and became a surprise success.  Atomic and Nano Scale Materials for Advanced Energy Conversion, 2 Volumes English | 2022 | ISBN: 3527348921 | 838 Pages | PDF | 52 MB In Atomic and Nano Scale Materials for Advanced Energy Conversion, expert interdisciplinary researcher Dr. Zongyou Yin delivers a comprehensive overview of nano-to-atomic scale materials science, the development of advanced electrochemical, photochemical, photoelectrochemical, and photovoltaic energy conversion strategies, and the applications for sustainable water splitting and other technologies.  Asymmetric Organo-Metal Catalysis: Concepts, Principles, and Applications English | 2022 | ISBN: 3527345922 | 337 Pages | PDF | 21 MB In Asymmetric Organo-Metal Catalysis: Concepts, Principles, and Applications, accomplished chemist Liu-Zhu Gong delivers a comprehensive discussion of how to design efficient organo/metal combined catalyst systems, new cooperatively catalyzed asymmetric reactions, relay catalytic cascades, and multicomponent reactions. The distinguished author covers critical topics, like the combined catalysis of chiral phase transfer catalysts, enamine, iminium, nucleophilic Lewis base, or Bronsted acids with metal complexes, while also covering the cooperative catalysis of photocatalysts and organocatalysts.  Astrology Handbook for Beginners: Everything you need to interpret your natal chart in depth by J.R. Steinmetz English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BDCDFB7H | 311 pages | MOBI | 1.78 Mb A reference book not only for beginners but also for people wishing to rediscover their chart.  Assembly Line Balancing Under Uncertain Task Time and Demand Volatility English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811942145 | 152 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 10 MB This book introduces several mathematical models in assembly line balancing based on stochastic programming and develops exact and heuristic methods to solve them. An assembly line system is a manufacturing process in which parts are added in sequence from workstation to workstation until the final assembly is produced. In an assembly line balancing problem, tasks belonging to different product models are allocated to workstations according to their processing times and precedence relationships among tasks. It incorporates two features, uncertain task times, and demand volatility, separately and simultaneously, into the conventional assembly line balancing model. A real-life case study related to the mask production during the COVID-19 pandemic is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed framework and methodology. The book is intended for graduate students who are interested in combinatorial optimizations in manufacturing with uncertain input.  Ovidiu Vermesan, "Artificial Intelligence for Digitising Industry - Applications " English | ISBN: 8770226644 | 2021 | 434 pages | PDF | 198 MB This book provides in-depth insights into use cases implementing artificial intelligence (AI) applications at the edge. It covers new ideas, concepts, research, and innovation to enable the development and deployment of AI, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), edge computing, and digital twin technologies in industrial environments. The work is based on the research results and activities of the AI4DI project, including an overview of industrial use cases, research, technological innovation, validation, and deployment. |
