![]() Blackness and Transatlantic Irish Identity: Celtic Soul Brothers By Lauren Onkey 2009 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 0415801893 | PDF | 3 MB Blackness and Transatlantic Irish Identity analyzes the long history of imagined and real relationships between the Irish and African-Americans since the mid-nineteenth century in popular culture and literature. Irish writers and political activists have often claimed - and thereby created - a "black" identity to explain their experience with colonialism in Ireland and revere African-Americans as a source of spiritual and sexual vitality. Irish-Americans often resisted this identification so as to make a place for themselves in the U.S. However, their representation of an Irish-American identity pivots on a distinction between Irish-Americans and African-Americans. Lauren Onkey argues that one of the most consistent tropes in the assertion of Irish and Irish-American identity is constructed through or against African-Americans, and she maps that trope in the work of writers Roddy Doyle, James Farrell, Bernard MacLaverty, John Boyle O'Reilly, and Jimmy Breslin; playwright Ned Harrigan; political activists Bernadette Devlin and Tom Hayden; and musicians Van Morrison, U2, and Black 47. ![]() Black and Decker the Complete Guide to Bathrooms 6th Edition by Editors of Cool Springs Press;Peterson, Chris; English | 2023 | ISBN: 076038116X | 256 pages | True EPUB | 46.7 MB ![]() Biomanufacturing for Sustainable Production of Biomolecules English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811979103 | 655 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 21 MB This book elucidates the sustainable production of commercially important biomolecules in medicines, food, and beverage processing, through biological systems, including microorganisms, animal cells, plant cells, tissues, enzymes, and in vitro. It discusses promising technologies for the manipulation of cells including, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, genome editing, and metabolic engineering. The initial chapters of the book introduce topics on biomanufacturing, circular economy, strain design and improvement, upstream and downstream processing. The subsequent chapters cover artificial intelligence-assisted production, designer cell factories, biosensors for monitoring biomolecules, different cells factories, biosynthetic pathways, and genome editing approaches for scale-up biomanufacturing. Lastly, the book discusses the opportunities and challenges of implementing biological systems for the production of biomolecules. ![]() Biological Signal Analysis English | 2010 | ISBN: 978-87-7681-594-3 | 204 Pages | EPUB | 5 MB This textbook will provide the reader with an understanding of biological signals and digital signal analysis techniques such as conditioning, filtering, feature extraction, classification and statistical validation for solving practical biological signal analysis problems using MATLAB. ![]() Biography: An Historiography by Melanie Nolan English | 2023 | ISBN: 1138387231 | 400 pages | True PDF | 35.52 MB ![]() Bioethics by Steinbock, Bonnie;Menzel, Paul T.; English | 2022 | ISBN: 0197657966 | 329 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.41 MB ![]() Charalambos Dendrinos, "Bibliophilos: Books and Learning in the Byzantine World " English | ISBN: 3110717093 | 2021 | 430 pages | PDF | 9 MB The present volume is a Festschrift in honour of the distinguished Byzantinist Costas N. Constantinides. The title of the volume, Bibliophilos: Books and Learning in the Byzantine World, reflects Professor Constantinides' major contribution to the fields of Greek palaeography, editions of Byzantine texts, Byzantine history, scholarship and education, and Cypriot manuscripts and culture. The volume is introduced by a preface and a tabula gratulatoria dedicated to the honorand, followed by twenty articles, written by seasoned and younger scholars, who are former colleagues and students of Professor Constantinides. These articles, which appear in alphabetical order, offer new material and shed fresh light to the study of Greek manuscripts, binders and scribes, and the life, works and activities of Byzantine scholars, teachers and students, providing editions of unpublished texts, including letters and poems, and exploring various aspects of Byzantine and Cypriot history, literature, art, science and culture. In the process the authors often challenge earlier views and offer new interpretations and insights. Bibliophilos is a book for the student, teacher and scholar of Byzantium in particular, and for every bibliophile in general. ![]() Beyond UFOs: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Its Astonishing Implications for Our Future, New Edition by Jeffrey Bennett English | May 21st, 2011 | ISBN: 0691149887, 0691135495 | 248 pages | True EPUB | 2.82 MB The quest for extraterrestrial life doesn't happen only in science fiction. This book describes the startling discoveries being made in the very real science of astrobiology, an intriguing new field that blends astronomy, biology, and geology to explore the possibility of life on other planets. Jeffrey Bennett takes readers beyond UFOs to discuss some of the tantalizing questions astrobiologists grapple with every day: What is life and how does it begin? What makes a planet or moon habitable? Is there life on Mars or elsewhere in the solar system? How can life be recognized on distant worlds? Is it likely to be microbial, more biologically complex-or even intelligent? What would such a discovery mean for life here on Earth? ![]() Beginning Robotics with Raspberry Pi and Arduino: Using Python and OpenCV by Jeff Cicolani English | April 24, 2018 | ISBN: 1484234618 | 384 pages | MOBI | 10 Mb Learn how to use a Raspberry Pi in conjunction with an Arduino to build a basic robot with advanced capabilities.
