 Jennifer E. Telesca, "Red Gold: The Managed Extinction of the Giant Bluefin Tuna" English | ISBN: 1517908515 | 2020 | 304 pages | PDF | 6 MB Illuminating the conditions for global governance to have precipitated the devastating decline of one of the ocean's most majestic creatures
 Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex Positive Guide for Moving Past Sexual Trauma and Living a Passionate Life by Holly Richmond, Alexandra H. Solomon English | October 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1684038421 | 216 pages | PDF | 3.13 Mb Go beyond surviving to reclaim your sexual self.  Patricia White, "Rebecca " English | ISBN: 1911239430 | 2021 | 120 pages | EPUB | 8 MB The 1940 film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's gothic romance Rebecca begins by echoing the novel's famous opening line, 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.' Patricia White takes the theme of return as her starting point for an exploration of the film's enduring power. Drawing on archival research, she shows how the production and reception history of Rebecca, the first fruit of the collaboration between Hollywood movie producer David O. Selznick and British director Alfred Hitchcock, is marked by the traces of women's contributions.  Rapid Mass Engagement: Driving Continuous Improvement through Employee Culture Creation English | 2023 | ISBN: 126473901X | 331 Pages | MOBI EPUB (True) | 7 MB Providing everything you need to boost individual, team, and organizational performance, Rapid Mass Engagement delivers a new, more effective approach to creating a solid corporate culture that fuels long-term business success.  Randomized Algorithms for Analysis and Control of Uncertain Systems by Roberto Tempo , Fabrizio Dabbene , Giuseppe Calafiore English | PDF(True) | 2005 | 350 Pages | ISBN : 1849968829 | 2.8 MB Moving on from earlier stochastic and robust control paradigms, this book introduces the fundamentals of probabilistic methods in the analysis and design of uncertain systems. The use of randomized algorithms, guarantees a reduction in the computational complexity of classical robust control algorithms and in the conservativeness of methods like H-infinity control.  David F. Lancy, "Raising Children: Surprising Insights from Other Cultures" English | ISBN: 1108415091 | 2017 | 220 pages | PDF | 3 MB Why in some parts of the world do parents rarely play with their babies and never with toddlers? Why in some cultures are children not fully recognized as individuals until they are older? How are routine habits of etiquette and hygiene taught - or not - to children in other societies? Drawing on a lifetime's experience as an anthropologist, David F. Lancy takes us on a journey across the globe to show how children are raised differently in different cultures. Intriguing, and sometimes shocking, his discoveries demonstrate that our ideas about children are recent, untested, and often contrast starkly with those in other parts of the world. Lancy argues that we are, by historical standards, guilty of over-parenting, and of micro-managing our children's lives. Challenging many of our accepted truths, his book will encourage parents to think differently about children, and by doing so to feel more relaxed about their own parenting skills.
 Quantum Teleportation and Entanglement: A Hybrid Approach to Optical Quantum Information Processing by Prof. Akira Furusawa, Dr. Peter van Loock English | PDF(True) | 2011 | 341 Pages | ISBN : 3527409300 | 7.3 MB Unique in that it is jointly written by an experimentalist and a theorist, this monograph presents universal quantum computation based on quantum teleportation as an elementary subroutine and multi-party entanglement as a universal resource. Optical approaches to measurement-based quantum computation are also described, including schemes for quantum error correction, with most of the experiments carried out by the authors themselves.
 Quantum Field Theory on Curved Spacetimes: Concepts and Mathematical Foundations by Christian Bär, Klaus Fredenhagen English | PDF(True) | 2009 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3642027792 | 2.2 MB After some decades of work a satisfactory theory of quantum gravity is still not available; moreover, there are indications that the original field theoretical approach may be better suited than originally expected. There, to first approximation, one is left with the problem of quantum field theory on Lorentzian manifolds. Surprisingly, this seemingly modest approach leads to far reaching conceptual and mathematical problems and to spectacular predictions, the most famous one being the Hawking radiation of black holes.  Elisabeth Ladenson, "Proust's Lesbianism" English | 2007 | pages: 156 | ISBN: 0801473500, 0801435951 | PDF | 11,9 mb For decades, Elisabeth Ladenson says, critics have misread or ignored a crucial element in Marcel Proust's fiction―his representation of lesbians. Her challenging new book definitively establishes the centrality of lesbianism as sexual obsession and aesthetic model in Proust's vast novel A la recherche du temps perdu.  Protein'Ligand Interactions: Methods and Applications by G. Ulrich Nienhaus English | PDF(True) | 2005 | 560 Pages | ISBN : 1588293726 | 9.1 MB A readily reproducible collection of established and emerging techniques for studying the interaction between proteins and ligands, including biochemical/bulk techniques, structure analysis, spectroscopy, single-molecule studies, and theoretical/computational tools. Among the highlights are surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and reflectometric biosensor approaches, high-throughput screening with confocal optics microscopy, single molecule fluorescence and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), crystallography of reaction intermediates, and time-resolved x-ray crystallography. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. |
