 Helen Thomas, "Malady and Mortality: Illness, Disease and Death in Literary and Visual Culture" English | 2016 | pages: 350 | ISBN: 1443890103 | PDF | 5,5 mb This ground-breaking study examines visual and literary responses to, and representations of, illness, dying and death from the perspective of the chronically ill, their families and carers, medics, artists, photographers, authors, and academics. It encourages a re-examination of cultural taboos and visual and literary practices that engage with illness and death. Focusing upon a wide range of creative and critical engagements, this book makes a significant contribution to the medical humanities via its exploration of medical practice, literature and film, digital media studies, graphic design, and both contemporary and historical attitudes towards illness, death (including infant mortality), mourning and bereavement. For some, the experience of illness provokes feelings of exile, crisis or social critique, whilst for others it instigates utopian discourses predicated upon personal reflection, communication or connectivity, wherein the self is redefined beyond the parameters and constraints of the body.  Tomas Carragain, Sam Turner, "Making Christian Landscapes in Atlantic Europe: Conversion and Consolidation in the Early Middle Ages" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1782052003 | PDF | pages: 654 | 111.0 mb Landscapes across Europe were transformed, both physically and conceptually, during the early medieval period (c AD 400-1200), and these changes were bound up with the conversion to Christianity and the development of ecclesiastical power structures. While Christianity represented a more or less common set of beliefs and ideas, early medieval societies were characterized by vibrant diversity: much can potentially be learned about these societies by comparing and contrasting how they adapted Christianity to suit local circumstances. This is the first book to adopt a comparative landscape approach to this crucial subject.  Gina Barreca, "Make Mine a Double: Why Women Like Us Like to Drink " English | ISBN: 1584657596 | 2011 | 204 pages | EPUB | 1118 KB Make Mine a Double pours together a collection of witty, intelligent, and provocative pieces about women and their beverages of choice. Edited by humorist and academic mahatma Gina Barreca, the twenty-eight original essays here come from a diverse community of voices from ages twenty-one to seventy-nine, including such luminaries as Fay Weldon, Wendy Liebman, Amy Bloom, Liza Donnelly, Nicole Hollander, Beth Jones, Dawn Lundy Martin, and many others.  Make MONEY From AMAZON: How to Start a Profitable Business on Amazon Easily by James Housel English | November 3, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BLHTDLT4 | 141 pages | EPUB | 0.93 Mb Do you ever dream of freeing yourself from the shackles of a big corporation and living a life where you are in total control of your personal and financial life?

Maintain Your Gear by McCabe, Joe; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1637631545 | 176 pages | True EPUB | 5.44 MB  Elsie Olson, "Magic Tricks with Props " English | ISBN: 1541545826 | 2019 | 24 pages | EPUB | 8 MB Simple step-by-step instructions and photos show readers how to do fun magic tricks with props such as pencils, coins, and even a banana. Readers will love learning tips for performing magic and information about famous magicians.  Justin Garson, "Madness: A Philosophical Exploration" English | ISBN: 0197613837 | 2022 | 304 pages | PDF | 3 MB Since the time of Hippocrates, madness has typically been viewed through the lens of disease, dysfunction, and defect. Madness, like all other disease, happens when something in the mind, or in the brain, does not operate the way that it should or as nature intended. In this paradigm, the role of the healer is simply to find the dysfunction and fix it. This remains the dominant perspective in global psychiatry today.  Made in British Columbia: Eight Ways of Making Culture By Maria Tippett 2015 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 155017729X | PDF | 11 MB Is there such a thing as British Columbia culture, and if so, is there anything special about it? This is the broad question Dr. Maria Tippett answers in this work with an assured "yes!" To prove her point she looks at the careers of eight ground-breaking cultural producers in the fields of painting, aboriginal art, architecture, writing, theatre and music. The eight creative figures profiled in Made in British Columbia are not just distinguished artists who made an enduring mark on Canadian culture during the twentieth century. They are unique artists whose work is intimately interwoven with British Columbia's identity. Emily Carr portrayed BC's coastal landscape in a manner as unique as her lifestyle. Bill Reid's carvings, jewellery and sculpture stand as a contemporary interpretation of his reclaimed Haida heritage. The name Francis Rattenbury is less known than The Empress Hotel in Victoria, one of many prominent BC buildings he designed, while Arthur Erickson's modern architectural contributions are recognized worldwide. Martin Allerdale Grainger's experience in the BC woods in the early days of hand-logging inspired him to write one of the undisputed classics of BC fiction, Woodsmen of the West. Jean Coulthard struggled for respect as a female composer during the 1920s and 1930s in British Columbia but eventually proved her extraordinary musical talents internationally. George Woodcock left Britain in 1949 to forge his career as an influential author, editor, mentor and tireless promoter of literary scholarship in the province, while playwright George Ryga, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, exposed the anguish and reality of life for Native women in our cities with his 1967 play, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. Featuring images of the artists and their works, Made in British Columbia presents a history of the treasures found in our galleries, concert halls, theatres, museums, libraries and streetscapes, and explores the legacy of a cultural tradition as unique as the place that nurtured it.  Machine Learning Applications in Electronic Design Automation English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031130731 | 595 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 87 MB This book serves as a single-source reference to key machine learning (ML) applications and methods in digital and analog design and verification. Experts from academia and industry cover a wide range of the latest research on ML applications in electronic design automation (EDA), including analysis and optimization of digital design, analysis and optimization of analog design, as well as functional verification, FPGA and system level designs, design for manufacturing (DFM), and design space exploration. The authors also cover key ML methods such as classical ML, deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), graph neural networks (GNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs) and optimization methods such as reinforcement learning (RL) and Bayesian optimization (BO). All of these topics are valuable to chip designers and EDA developers and researchers working in digital and analog designs and verification.  Machine Learning Algorithm for Fatigue Fields in Additive Manufacturing by Mustafa Mamduh Mustafa Awd English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 289 Pages | ISBN : 3658402369 | 78.1 MB Fatigue failure of structures used in transportation, industry, medical equipment, and electronic components needs to build a link between cutting-edge experimental characterization and probabilistically grounded numerical and artificially intelligent tools. The physics involved in this process chain is computationally prohibitive to comprehend using traditional computation methods. Using machine learning and Bayesian statistics, a defect-correlated estimate of fatigue strength was developed. Fatigue, which is a random variable, is studied in a Bayesian-based machine learning algorithm. The stress-life model was used based on the compatibility condition of life and load distributions. The defect-correlated assessment of fatigue strength was established using the proposed machine learning and Bayesian statistics algorithms. It enabled the mapping of structural and process-induced fatigue characteristics into a geometry-independent load density chart across a wide range of fatigue regimes. |
