William Crawford, Eniko Csomay, "Doing Corpus Linguistics" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138024619 | PDF | pages: 178 | 7.9 mb Doing Corpus Linguistics offers a practical step-by-step introduction to corpus linguistics, making use of widely available corpora and of a register analysis-based theoretical framework to provide students in Applied Linguistics and TESOL with the understanding and skills necessary to meaningfully analyze corpora and carry out successful corpus-based research. Divided into three parts - Introduction to Doing Corpus Linguistics and Register Analysis; Searches in Available Corpora; and Building Your Own Corpus, Analyzing Your Quantitative Results, and Making Sense of Data - the book emphasizes hands-on experience with performing language analysis research and in interpreting findings in a meaningful and engaging way. Readers are given multiple opportunities to analyze and apply language data by completing smaller tasks and corpus projects using publicly available corpora. The book also takes readers through the process of building a specialized corpus designed to answer a specific research question and provides detailed information on completing a final research project that includes both a written paper and an oral presentation of their specific research projects. Doing Corpus Linguistics provides students in applied linguistics and TESOL with the opportunity to gain proficiency in the technical and interpretive aspects of corpus research and to encourage them to participate in the growing field of corpus linguistics.

 Paul Levy, "Digital Inferno: Using Technology Consciously in Your Life and Work: 101 Ways to Survive and Thrive in a Hyperconnected " English | ISBN: 1905570740 | 2014 | 208 pages | EPUB | 712 KB Packed with a wealth of practical advice, Digital Inferno describes numerous methods to help us step back from constant digital activity and virtual living and pay more attention to the "real world." Included are exercises to overcome tiredness from digital contact and to develop skills that enable us to remain awake and aware. Crucially, the reader will become master of the digital realm, abstain from contact when necessary, and freely to immerse oneself through free choice. We don't need to shun new technology, but we do need to be armed with an understanding of its challenges, problems, and limitations. Digital Inferno provides the tools needed to meet the future consciously.  William James Dally, R. Curtis Harting, "Digital Design: A Systems Approach" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0521199506 | PDF | pages: 613 | 134.6 mb This introductory textbook provides students with a system-level perspective and the tools they need to understand, analyze and design digital systems. Going beyond the design of simple combinational and sequential modules, it shows how such modules are used to build complete systems, reflecting real-world digital design. All the essential topics are covered, including design and analysis of combinational and sequential modules, as well as system timing and synchronization. It also teaches how to write Verilog HDL in a productive and maintainable style that enables CAD tools to do much of the tedious work. A complete introduction to digital design is given through clear explanations, extensive examples and online Verilog files. The teaching package is completed with lecture slides, labs and a solutions manual for instructors. Assuming no previous digital knowledge, this textbook is ideal for undergraduate digital design courses that will prepare students for modern digital practice.  Diffusion Processes in Advanced Technological Materials by Devendra Gupta English | 2005 | ISBN: 3540219382 | 532 Pages | PDF | 15.5 MB This book is about the games atoms play in diffusion and various other properties of materials. While diffusion has been studied for more than 100 years in solids, its importance, excitement, and intellectual chal lenges remain undiminished with time. It is central to understanding the relationship between the structure and properties of naturally occurring and synthetic materials, which is at the root of current technological development and innovations. The diversity of material has led to spec tacular progress in functional inorganics, polymers, granular materials, photonics, complex oxides, metallic glasses, quasi-crystals, and strongly correlated electronic materials. The integrity of complex materials pack ages is determined by diffusion, a highly interactive and synergic phe nomenon that interrelates to the microstructure, the microchemistry, and the superimposed physical fields. While the various physico-chemical properties of the materials are affected by diffusion, they determine diffu sion itself. This book, which is intended to document the diffusive processes operative in advanced technological materials, has been written by pio neers in industry and academia.  Irene Latham, "Dictionary for a Better World: Poems, Quotes, and Anecdotes from A to Z" English | ISBN: 1541557751 | 2020 | 120 pages | EPUB | 20 MB How can we make the world a better place?  Developing the Gull-Winged F4U Corsair - And Taking It To Sea: Volume 1 By Ralph Harvey 2012 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 1469991225 | PDF | 33 MB The late-1930s marked the end of the biplane era, and the U.S. Navy needed a new fighter. The Vought F4U Corsair was the winning design, but the service's first 400 m.p.h. warplane came with more than just blistering speed. This aerial hot-rod had some very poor flight characteristics and came to be known as the "Ensign Eliminator." Even after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Navy decided that the Corsair was unsuitable for shipboard use. Yet the Corsair eventually did operate from aircraft carriers, and the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps − along with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force − all used the F4U with great success. This book tells that story. As a guide to readers, Developing the Gull-WInged F4U Corsair − And Taking It To Sea does not focus on individual pilots, squadrons or dogfights, but compliments existing texts with over 40 images and information that pilots and non-pilots will appreciate. In particular, this book looks at the development of leading World War Two fighters, including the F4U; the expansion of the Vought-Sikorsky factory during mobilization; the F4U's limitations, and why techniques for a navalized version of the British Spitfire could also be used in the Corsair; a broad overview of the F4U's operational history, and the 1948-9 relocation of the Vought factory from Connecticut to Dallas. It is a history and remembrance of all who designed, built and test flew F4U Corsair, and those who served in uniform. |
