 Practical Design Patterns for Java Developers by Miroslav Wengner English | 2023 | ISBN: 180461467X | 266 pages | True PDF EPUB | 12.22 MB  Engel, Avner, "Practical Creativity and Innovation in Systems Engineering" English | 2018 | pages: 507 | ISBN: 1119383234 | PDF | 19,4 mb A guide to systems engineering that highlights creativity and innovation in order to foster great ideas and carry them out  Power and Rhetoric in the Ecclesiastical Correspondence of Constantine the Great (Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies) by Andrew J. Pottenger English | November 30, 2022 | ISBN: 1032105151 | True EPUB | 274 pages | 2 MB This volume closely examines patterns of rhetoric in surviving correspondence by the Roman emperor Constantine on conflicts among Christians that occurred during his reign, primarily the 'Donatist schism' and 'Arian controversy'.  Power and Knowledge in Southeast Asia: State and Scholars in Indonesia and the Philippines By Rommel A. Curaming 2019 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 113834494X | PDF | 5 MB Examining two state-sponsored history writing projects in Indonesia and the Philippines in the 1970s, this book illuminates the contents and contexts of the two projects and, more importantly, provides a nuanced characterization of the relationship between embodiments of power (state, dictators, government officials) and knowledge (intellectuals, historians, history). Known respectively as Sejarah Nasional Indonesia (SNI) and the Tadhana project, these projects were initiated by the Suharto and Marcos authoritarian regimes against the backdrop of rising and competing nationalisms, as well as the regimes' efforts at political consolidation. The dialectics between actors and the politico-academic contexts determine whether scholarship and politics would clash, mutually support, or co-exist parallel with one another. Rather than one side manipulating or co-opting the other, this study shows the mutual need or partnership between scholars and political actors in these projects. This book proposes the need toembrace rather than deny or transcend the entwined power/knowledge if the idea is for scholarship to realize its truly progressive visions. Analyzing the dynamics of state-scholar relations in the two countries, the book will be of interest to academics in the fields on Southeast Asian history and politics, nationalism, historiography, intellectual history, postocolonial studies, cultural studies,and the sociology of knowledge.  Power Carving Manual, Second Edition: Tools, Techniques, and 22 All-Time Favorite Projects Step-by-Step Projects and Photos, Buyer's Guide, Expert Information, and Inspiration by Charles Solomon, David Hamilton, Jack Kochan English | March 12, 2018 | ISBN: 1565239032 | 168 pages | PDF (Converted) | 42 Mb The professional advice and the sheer beauty of these projects make this title a must-have reference for every power carver!The go-to reference for power carving, updated and revisedExpanded reviews featuring the latest tools: A complete buyer's guide to exciting new tools from Dremel, Foredom, and other manufacturers22 step-by-step projects from Woodcarving Illustrated magazine-the woodcarver's authoritative source for 20 years: Including birds, fish, mammals, walking sticks, and moreContributions from today's top names in woodcarving: Frank Russell, Jack Kochan, Wanda Marsh, Lori Corbett, Chuck Solomon, Dave HamiltonOver 550 stunning photos of tools, finished work, and step-by-step techniques  Pengjun Zhao, "Population Aging and Age-Friendly Transport in China " English | ISBN: 9811992428 | 2022 | 268 pages | PDF | 6 MB This book is the first book that investigates aging and its impacts on transport system in China. Using various data, this book covers, but is not limited to, the development of population aging, the changes of travel demand, the features of travel behavior of China's elderly, progress and prospect of age-friendly transport in China. The book has international academic novelty in three points. Firstly, it discovers the long-term supply-demand relationship between population aging and transport infrastructure development. Secondly, it finds the changes and factors in travel behavior of the elderly people. Thirdly, it discusses the advantages or disadvantages of age-friendly transport policy. The findings in the book provide fresh evidences for the challenges posed by aging to transport and enhance readers' existing knowledge of the elderly people's travel behavior and the related determinants. These findings are helpful for planners and politicians to make age-friendly transport policies and useful for investors and enterprises to supply proper transport services to the elderly people. This book is of great interest to scholars and practitioners interested in transport development, transport policy, social transition, sustainable mobility, urban planning, urban governance and is relevant to China and other developing countries.  Péter Tétényi, "Polymers and Pyridazines" English | 2019 | pages: 97 | ISBN: 9814800473 | PDF | 5,0 mb In the past few years, a few articles have been published on the solid-phase synthesis of pyridazine derivatives. These methods apply to intermediates weakly bound to polymers, as a result of which the ester bond is cleaved easily, either during ring closure or right after it. There are few polymer-supported syntheses of heterocycles. This book, Polymers and Pyridazines, discusses a new strategy for polymer-supported synthesis of pyridazine derivatives with much higher reaction rates, applying higher loading and much wider reaction conditions due to the more stable attachment. On the basis of the research conducted, a fundamental break-through was achieved in solid-phase heterocyclic chemistry. The experiments are accompanied by colored drawings and 3D diagrams to help understand the importance of swelling and/or excess concentrations of reagents. Detailed experiments provide complete procedures with infrared difference spectra. The book will be a helpful reference for academy polymer specialists and postgraduate students studying polymer syntheses of general substrates.  K R Shivanna, "Pollen Biology and Biotechnology" English | 2003 | pages: 316 | ISBN: 1578082412, 1138407739 | PDF | 9,9 mb The author offers an overview of pollen biology and biotechnology for students and researchers in areas such as reproductive biology, biotechnology, aeropalynology, plant breeding, horticulture, and forestry. Citing more than 1,500 references to pollen research, the text covers topics including advances in understanding pollen tube growth, the use of pollen for gene transfer, and advantages and disadvantages of various pollination systems for production of species limits.  Victor A. Bernstam, "Pocket Guide to Gene Level Diagnostics in Clinical Practice" English | 2019 | pages: 561 | ISBN: 1138430129, 0849344859 | PDF | 46,9 mb Pocket Guide to Gene Level Diagnostics in Clinical Practice is an abbreviated, pocket-size, quick-reference guide that provides a point-by-point synopsis of the vast wealth of information contained in CRC Handbook of Gene Level Diagnostics in Clinical Practice. All sections and subsections in the Pocket Guide are cross-referenced to corresponding pages in the Handbook. The book works well on its own as a quick reference, but also can be used in conjunction with the larger Handbook for detailed coverage and references to specific information.  Plato's Phaedo: Forms, Death, and the Philosophical Life by David Ebrey English | February 9, 2023 | ISBN: 1108479944 | 300 pages | PDF | 2 MB Plato's Phaedo is a literary gem that develops many of his most famous ideas. David Ebrey's careful reinterpretation argues that the many debates about the dialogue cannot be resolved so long as we consider its passages in relative isolation from one another, separated from their intellectual background. His book shows how Plato responds to his literary, religious, scientific, and philosophical context, and argues that we can only understand the dialogue's central ideas and arguments in light of its overall structure. This approach yields new interpretations of the dialogue's key ideas, including the nature and existence of 'Platonic' forms, the existence of the soul after death, the method of hypothesis, and the contemplative ethical ideal. Moreover, this comprehensive approach shows how the characters play an integral role in the Phaedo's development and how its literary structure complements Socrates' views while making its own distinctive contribution to the dialogue's drama and ideas. |
