 Jamal Chaouki, "Scale-up Processes: Iterative Methods for the Chemical, Mineral and Biological Industries " English | ISBN: 3110713934 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 145 MB Common scale-up methods are conventional where the blind piloting is essential. This imposes huge investment and leads to failures mostly in solid processing. However, the limitations of resources, current shortcomings, short time-to-market demand are forced companies to minimize piloting. With these situations in mind, current digitalization outlook and computational facilities, we proposed and developed a novel iterative scale up method with case studies which highly expedites the process innovation through the following key sequences:  Laura Lee, "Savoir Faire: 1,000+ Foreign Words and Phrases You Should Know to Sound Smart" English | ISBN: 1577151259 | 2016 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Add hundreds of foreign phrases to your daily lexicon and learn about their quirky, fascinating origins!
 Aman Y. Nadhiri, "Saracens and Franks in 12th - 15th Century European and Near Eastern Literature: Perceptions of Self and the Other" English | 2017 | pages: 228 | ISBN: 0367881535, 1472472357 | PDF | 0,9 mb Saracens and Franks in 12th - 15th Century European and Near Eastern Literature examines the tension between two competing discourses in the medieval Muslim Mediterranean and medieval Christian Europe: one rooted in the desire to understand the world and one's place in it, and another promoting an ethnocentric narrative. To this end, it examines the construction of an image of the Other for Muslims in the Eastern Mediterranean and for Christians in Western Europe in works of literature, particularly in the works produced in the centuries preceding the Crusades; and it explores the ways in which both Muslim and Christian writers depicted the Enemy in historical accounts of the Crusades. The author focuses on medieval works of ethnography and geography, travel literature, Muslim and Christian accounts of the Crusades, and the romances of Western Europe to trace the evolution of the image of the Eastern Mediterranean Muslim in medieval Western Europe and the Western European Christian in the medieval Muslim world, first to understand the construct in the respective scholarly communities, and then to analyze the ways in which this conception informs subsequent works of non-fiction and fiction (in the Western European context) in which this Muslim or Christian Other plays a prominent role. In its analysis of the medieval Mediterranean Muslim and European Christian approaches to difference, this book interrogates the premises underlying the concept of the Other, challenging formulations of binary opposition such as the West versus Islam/Muslims.  Salt: White Gold in Early Europe (Elements in the Archaeology of Europe) by Anthony Harding English | 2021 | ISBN: 1009017640 | 102 pages | PDF | 10 MB This Element provides a concise account of the archaeology of salt production in ancient Europe. It describes what salt is, where it is found, what it is used for, and its importance for human and animal health. The different periods of the past in which it was produced are described, from earliest times down to the medieval period. Attention is paid to the abundant literary sources that inform us about salt in the Greek and Roman world, as well as the likely locations of production in the Mediterranean and beyond. The economic and social importance of salt in human societies means that salt has served as a crucial aspect of trade and exchange over the centuries, and potentially as a means of individuals and societies achieving wealth and status.  Saigo Takamori - The Man Behind The Myth By Charles L. Yates 1995 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 0710304846 | PDF | 5 MB This is the first real biography, in English or Japanese, of Saigo Takamori - 'the Last Samurai' - the great hero of Meiji Japan. It is impossible to over-estimate Saigo's importance, both during the pivotal Meiji period and today. A samurai from Kagoshima, Saigo played a major role during the Meiji Restoration, then died in 1877 while involved in a samurai rebellion against the government he had done so much to create. He remains today among Japan's most beloved national heroes, and is universally believed to embody the very essence of what it means to be Japanese. As the Japanese say to foreigners - 'Understand Saigo and you will understand Japan.'. As this fascinating and highly important study shows, the controversy surrounding Saigo arose and continues today because Dai Saigo - 'The Great Saigo' - and the historical Saigo Takamori who lived in Japan between 1827 and 1877 are two very different characters. One is the myth, the other the man behind it, who has until now remained largely unknown, not just in the popular mind but even in the minds of Japan's professional historians. Returning to primary sources, the author reconstructs the historical Saigo from the clues he has left behind in his own words and deeds, disentangling him from the mythic Dai Saigo in order to provide the first accurate account of the career of one of the most widely known and admired figures in Japanese history.

Ritual and Religion in Flavian Epic By Antony Augoustakis 2013 | 406 Pages | ISBN: 0199644098 | PDF | 2 MB This edited collection addresses the role of ritual representations and religion in the epic poems of the Flavian period (69-96 CE): Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica, Silius Italicus' Punica, Statius' Thebaid, and the unfinished Achilleid. Drawing on various modern studies on religion and ritual, and the relationship between literature and religion in the Greco-Roman world, it explores how we can interpret the poets' use of the relationship between gods and humans, cults and rituals, religious activities, and the role of the seer / prophet and his identification with poetry. Divided into three major sections, the volume includes essays on the most important religious activities (prophecy or augury, prayers and hymns) and the relationship between religion and political power under the Flavian emperors. It also addresses specific episodes in Flavian epic which focus on religious activities associated with the dead and the Underworld, such as purification, necromancy, katabasis, suicide, and burial. It finally explores the role of gender in ritual and religion.  Charles Kenny, "Results Not Receipts: Counting the Right Things in Aid and Corruption" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1933286970 | PDF | pages: 146 | 6.0 mb In the aftermath of the invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. Agency for International Development supported the Afghan Ministry of Public Health to deliver basic healthcare to 90 percent of the population, at a cost of $4.50 a head. The program played a vital role in improving the country's health; the number of children dying before the age of five dropped by 100,000 a year. But accounting standards at the Ministry of Public Health concerned the United States Special Investigator General for Afghanistan. There was no evidence of malfeasance, nor argument about the success of the program. For all that the results were fantastic, receipts were not in order. The investigator called for the health program to be suspended because of ""financial management deficiencies"" at the ministry.  John Flood, "Representations of Eve in Antiquity and the English Middle Ages" English | 2011 | pages: 214 | ISBN: 0367864800, 0415877962 | PDF | 3,1 mb As the first woman, Eve was the pattern for all her daughters. The importance of readings of Eve for understanding how women were viewed at various times is a critical commonplace, but one which has been only narrowly investigated. This book systematically explores the different ways in which Eve was understood by Christians in antiquity and in the English Middle Ages, and it relates these understandings to female social roles. The result is an Eve more various than she is often depicted by scholars. Beginning with material from the bible, the Church Fathers and Jewish sources, the book goes on to look at a broad selection of medieval writing, including theological works and literary texts in Old and Middle English. In addition to dealing with famous authors such as Augustine, Aquinas, Dante and Chaucer, the writings of authors who are now less well-known, but who were influential in their time, are explored. The book allows readers to trace the continuities and discontinuities in the way Eve was portrayed over a millennium and a half, and as such it is of interest to those interested in women or the bible in the Middle Ages. |
