Based on a large number of original archives and historical materials, this book focuses on Qian Xuesen's years of seeking knowledge from his birth in 1911 to his return to China in 1955 and describes how he grows into a world-known scientist from the aspect of humanity. This book can be used as reference material for Qian Xuesen's earlier years.  Retinal Detachment Surgery and Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy: From Scleral Buckling to Small Gauge Vitrectomy English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031119452 | 315 Pages | PDF (True) | 17 MB  Restoring Nature by Dilsaver, Lary M.;Babalis, Timothy J.; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1496233557 | 427 pages | True PDF EPUB | 26.43 MB  José L. Zalabardo, "Representation and Reality in Wittgenstein's Tractatus" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0198743947, 019882274X | PDF | pages: 272 | 3.0 mb José L. Zalabardo puts forward a new interpretation of central ideas in Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus concerning the structure of reality and our representations of it in thought and language. He shows the origins of Wittgenstein's picture theory of propositional representation in Russell's theories of judgment, arguing that the picture theory is Wittgenstein's solution to some of the problems that he found in Russell's position. Zalabardo defends the view that, for Wittgenstein, facts in general, and the facts that play the role of propositions in particular, are not composite items, arising from the combination of their constituents. They are ultimate, irreducible units, and what we think of as their constituents are features that facts have in common with one another. These common features have built into them their possibilities of combination with other features into possible situations.

The topic is organized into a series of very ambitious objectives, which start with an initial state-of-the-art review, followed by the development of high-fidelity frameworks for a disruptive way to design next generation floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) support structures. The development of a verified aero-hydro-servo-elastic coupled numerical model of dynamics for FOWTs and a holistic framework for automated simulation and optimization of FOWT systems, which is later used for the coupling of design optimization with reliability assessment of FOWT systems in a computationally and time-efficient manner, has been an aim of many groups internationally towards implementing a performance-based/goal-setting approach in the design of complex engineering systems. The outcomes of this work quantify the benefits of an optimal design with a lower mass while fulfilling design constraints. Illustrating that comprehensive design methods can be combined with reliability analysis and optimization algorithms towards an integrated reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) can benefit not only the offshore wind energy industry but also other applications such as, among others, civil infrastructure, aerospace, and automotive engineering.  Jeremy Greenberg, "Relative Discomfort: The Family Survival Guide, The Essential Tool For Living Through and Laughing At All of Our Family " English | ISBN: 0740773763 | 2008 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Seeing family is like catching a head cold: a temporary discomfort relieved by a snifter or four of brandy." -Jeremy GreenbergRelative Discomfort is a sidesplitting, guffaw-inducing guide to living through and laughing at all of our family encounters. You know that knot you get in your stomach when you're about to come face-to-face with your Uncle Drunk and Aunt Enabler, or the brother-in-law who always wants to show you his gun collection? This book unties that knot.If your family more closely resembles the Simpsons as opposed to the Tanner, Keaton, or Huxtable clans, then chances are this book is for you. International headlining comedian Jeremy Greenberg writes from the premise that although we love our families, many of us don't particularly love spending time with those who share our dysfunctional DNA.To liven up the holidays, bar mitzvahs, funerals, and other family gatherings, Greenberg offers a collection of tips, tricks, games, and helpful hints that will not  Reinventing the Left in the Global South: The Politics of the Possible By Richard Sandbrook 2014 | 309 Pages | ISBN: 1107421098 | PDF | 3 MB This book offers a fresh appraisal of the nature and significance of the democratic Left in the Global South. The moral and intellectual leadership of the Left is shifting south from its European birthplace. It is in the Global South, most notably in Latin America, that one finds newly self-confident progressive movements. This 'new' democratic Left includes parties and social movements that not only are avoiding the familiar pitfalls that ensnared socialists and social democrats in the twentieth century, but also are coping with the realities of the twenty-first century, especially neoliberal globalization. In analyzing and illustrating three innovative strategies - moderate social democracy, radical social-democratic transition to socialism, and Left populism - this study nudges the debate about the Left out of the well-worn grooves into which it has fallen in recent decades.  Regularization in Deep Learning (MEAP V04) English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781633439610 | 323 pages | PDF,EPUB | 19.56 MB Make your deep learning models more generalized and adaptable! These practical regularization techniques improve training efficiency and help avoid overfitting errors.  Reforming Education in Developing Countries: From Neoliberalism to Communitarianism By Izhar Oplatka 2018 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0815377290 | PDF | 2 MB Underpinned in the stream of thought named 'communitarianism', Reforming Education in Developing Countries argues that developing countries need educational reforms that are tightly entwined into their cultural, social, and organizational contexts. It questions the applicability of neoliberal reforms in developing societies, through an analysis of the main elements of neoliberalism in education. It highlights the critical role of the community and suggests new and alternative lines of thoughts for the practice of reform initiation and implementation in developing countries.The book criticizes major neoliberal ideas in education, illuminates the distinctions between current neoliberal reforms and the characteristics of traditional societies, analyzes major educational ideologies in the developed world, and emphasizes the key role of local communities in this world. It proposes a dynamic model of reforming education in these countries that includes three major phases and integrates both modern and traditional (indigenous) educational purposes and values. Evocative ponderings are outlined throughout the book to promote critical thinking and reframing of educators' views towards educational reform and change.This book will be of great interest to researchers and students in the fields of educational leadership, educational policy, educational change, comparative education, political science and sociology. It will also appeal to educators, supervisors and policy makers. |
