 Networking, Intelligent Systems and Security: Proceedings of NISS 2021 by Mohamed Ben Ahmed, Horia-Nicolai L. Teodorescu, Tomader Mazri, Parthasarathy Subashini, Anouar Abdelhakim Boudhir English | EPUB | 2022 | 885 Pages | ISBN : 9811636362 | 143.6 MB This book gathers best selected research papers presented at the International Conference on Networking, Intelligent Systems and Security, held in Kenitra, Morocco, during 01-02 April 2021. The book highlights latest research and findings in the field of ICT, and it provides new solutions, efficient tools, and techniques that draw on modern technologies to increase urban services. In addition, it provides a critical overview of the status quo, shares new propositions, and outlines future perspectives in networks, smart systems, security, information technologies, and computer science.  Net Zero Business Models by Van Clieaf, Mark;Montgomery, John; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1119895065 | 417 pages | True PDF EPUB | 11.29 MB  Narrative across Media: The Languages of Storytelling By Marie-Laure Ryan (editor) 2004 | 422 Pages | ISBN: 0803239440 | PDF | 18 MB Narratology has been conceived from its earliest days as a project that transcends disciplines and media. The essays gathered here address the question of how narrative migrates, mutates, and creates meaning as it is expressed across various media.Dividing the inquiry into five areas: face-to-face narrative, still pictures, moving pictures, music, and digital media, Narrative across Media investigates how the intrinsic properties of the supporting medium shape the form of narrative and affect the narrative experience. Unlike other interdisciplinary approaches to narrative studies, all of which have tended to concentrate on narrative across language-supported fields, this unique collection provides a much-needed analysis of how narrative operates when expressed through visual, gestural, electronic, and musical means. In doing so, the collection redefines the act of storytelling. Although the fields of media and narrative studies have been invigorated by a variety of theoretical approaches, this volume seeks to avoid a dominant theoretical bias by providing instead a collection of concrete studies that inspire a direct look at texts rather than relying on a particular theory of interpretation. A contribution to both narrative and media studies, Narrative across Media is the first attempt to bridge the two disciplines.  Nano and Micro-Scale Energetic Materials: Propellants and Explosives English | 2023 | ISBN: 3527349812 | 742 Pages | PDF, EPUB (True) | 172 MB Most explosives and propellants currently use a small number of ingredients, such as TNT and nitrocellulose. In comparison to conventional materials, nano- and micro-scale energetic materials exhibit superior burning characteristics and much higher energy densities and explosive yields. Nano and Micro-scale Energetic Materials: Propellants and Explosives provides a timely overview of innovative nano-scale energetic materials (nEMs) and microscale energetic materials (µEMs) technology.  Kenny Salwey, "Muskrat for Supper: Exploring the Natural World with the Last River Rat" English | ISBN: 1555915671 | 2012 | 260 pages | EPUB | 20 MB Muskrat for Supper inspires young people to explore nature's life cycles and understand the concept of the circle of life, as told through the tale of a family that embarks on a hunting and trapping adventure. It is an endearing story that weaves together such themes as sustainable living, our natural environment, and living closer to nature. The first book for children by this acclaimed storyteller and author, Muskrat for Supper includes questions young people have asked Kenny Salwey about his lifestyle as a river rat living off the land. The story will be illustrated with black-and-white photographs as well as nonfiction material to supplement the text.  Melissa Stewart, "Mountains of Jokes About Rocks, Minerals, and Soil: Laugh and Learn About Science " English | ISBN: 1464401659 | 2012 | 48 pages | EPUB | 11 MB In MOUNTAINS OF JOKES ABOUT ROCKS, MINERALS, AND SOIL read some fascinating science facts about rocks, including gems, volcanoes, and mountains. Then learn some seriously silly jokes! There is even a section of the book that teaches you to write your own jokes about rocks, minerals, and soil!  Morning Boost: A Beginner's Guide to Easy and Effective Workouts by Collins Walker English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BQ5YP7DG | EPUB | 0.72 Mb Why Morning Workouts Matter  Margie Patlak, "More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine" English | ISBN: 1608937534 | 2021 | 224 pages | EPUB | 564 KB Winner of the American Society of Journalists and Authors Award in the memoir/autobiography category!  Moments of Meeting in Psychoanalysis: Interaction and Change in the Therapeutic Encounter By Susan Lord (editor) 2017 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 1138229210 | PDF | 3 MB There are moments of connection between analysts and patients during any therapeutic encounter upon which the therapy can turn. Moments of Meeting in Psychoanalysis explores how analysts and therapists can experience these moments of meeting, shows how this interaction can become an enlivening and creative process, and seeks to recognise how it can change both the analyst and patient in profound and fundamental ways. The theory and practice of contemporary psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy has reached an exciting new moment of generous and generative interaction. As psychoanalysts become more intersubjective and relational in their work, it becomes increasingly critical that they develop approaches that have the capacity to harness and understand powerful moments of meeting, capable of propelling change through the therapeutic relationship. Often these are surprising human moments in which both client and clinician are moved and transformed. Moments of Meeting in Psychoanalysis offers a window into the ways in which some of today's practitioners think about, encourage, and work with these moments of meeting in their practices. Each chapter of the book offers theoretical material, case examples, and a discussion of various therapists' reflections on and experiences with these moments of meeting. With contributions from relational psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and Jungian analysts, and covering essential topics such as shame, impasse, mindfulness, and group work, this book offers new theoretical thinking and practical clinical guidance on how best to work with moments of meeting in any relationally oriented therapeutic practice. Moments of Meeting in Psychoanalysis will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, workers in other mental health fields, graduate students, and anyone interested in change processes.  Modelling, Analysis, and Control of Networked Dynamical Systems By Ziyang Meng, Tao Yang, Karl H. Johansson 2021 | 177 Pages | ISBN: 3030846814 | EPUB | 13 MB This monograph provides a comprehensive exploration of new tools for modelling, analysis, and control of networked dynamical systems. Expanding on the authors' previous work, this volume highlights how local exchange of information and cooperation among neighboring agents can lead to emergent global behaviors in a given networked dynamical system.Divided into four sections, the first part of the book begins with some preliminaries and the general networked dynamical model that is used throughout the rest of the book. The second part focuses on synchronization of networked dynamical systems, synchronization with non-expansive dynamics, periodic solutions of networked dynamical systems, and modulus consensus of cooperative-antagonistic networks. In the third section, the authors solve control problems with input constraint, large delays, and heterogeneous dynamics. The final section of the book is devoted to applications, studying control problems of spacecraft formation flying, multi-robot rendezvous, and energy resource coordination of power networks.Modelling, Analysis, and Control of Networked Dynamical Systemswill appeal to researchers and graduate students interested in control theory and its applications, particularly those working in networked control systems, multi-agent systems, and cyber-physical systems. This volume can also be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on networked control systems and multi-agent systems. |
