 Kashif Akhtar, "Mulching in Agroecosystems: Plants, Soil & Environment" English | ISBN: 9811964092 | 2022 | 411 pages | PDF | 10 MB This book provides insights into recent developments in the use of mulching in agroecosystems with emphasis on the major pros and cons. Increase in human population, climatic changes and agricultural intensification have put enormous pressure on soil and water resources. As a result, we are confronted with challenges to enhance nutrient and water use efficiencies and conserve soil organic matter without compromising crop yields and food security. Increasing the soil organic matter (SOM) via residue return increased nutrient availability and soil physical and biological properties. Management practices, such as straw mulching or incorporation, have significant effects on soil health. Straw addition also increases functionality related to carbon and N metabolism via increasing the microbes and thus greatly contributes to CO2 and N2O emissions. However, the co-use of organic and inorganic fertilizer reduces the N2O emission without compromising crop yield. Mulching has long been advocated to conserve soil moisture and increase the efficiency of macro- and micro-nutrients by improving soil physical, chemical, and biological properties. These effects of mulch are translated into better crop yields while improving soil health and quality in the long run. Therefore, the use of mulching techniques is on the rise in organic as well as conventional agriculture. The book is of great interest for researchers, academics, agriculture extensionists, soil and plant scientist, fertilizer industry, farmers, agro-industrial workers, farm managers, NGOs, and climate and civil society activists.  Dmetri Kakmi, "Mother Land" English | 2015 | ISBN: 190601163X, 1906011397 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 1.1 mb Mother Land is an autobiographical novel, a minutely remembered description of childhood on an Aegean island, marked by the furious opposition between Greek and Turk, which is mirrored by the rows between the bewildered nine-year-old Dmetri's parents. Before the family emigrates to Australia, leaving behind their beautiful, if impoverished, homeland, Kakmi reveals with chilling clarity how violence begets violence, in even the most unexpected of people. But it is only when he returns as an adult that he uncovers family secrets which allow the final piece of the jigsaw to fall into place.  Morning Yoga Stretches: How to Unlock the Full Power of The Best Morning Stretches to Command Your Days and Transform Your Life by Paige Gregory English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BPDW9915 | 95 pages | EPUB | 1.55 Mb Have you been told adopting morning yoga could help you overcome the tiredness, grumpiness, and/or excess sleepiness you get after waking up and are wondering what this morning yoga entails and how to adopt it the right way to reap all its benefits?  More-than-Moore Devices and Integration for Semiconductors English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031216091 | 497 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 50 MB This book provides readers with a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference for miniaturized More-than-Moore systems with a broad range of functionalities that can be added to 3D microsystems, including flexible electronics, metasurfaces and power sources. The book also includes examples of applications for brain-computer interfaces and event-driven imaging systems.  Montreal and the Bomb (Baraka Nonfiction) by Gilles Sabourin, Katherine Hastings English | October 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1771862653 | 200 pages | PDF | 8.26 Mb With war raging in Europe, the Allies worried about advances being made by Germans scientists. The British wanted to get a jump ahead of Hitler and the physicists working for the Third Reich. England was too close to the enemy, so they decided to secretly establish a nuclear research laboratory in Montreal. The best scientists moved to Montreal with two goals in mind: develop an ultra-powerful bomb and find a new source of energy. What started as cooperation with the Americans instead became a race to harness the energy of the atom when Washington launched the Manhattan project. Montreal and the Bomb breathes new life into the exhilarating saga of European scientists secretly developing a strategic nuclear laboratory in the halls of the Universitй de Montrйal. It's a story peopled by leading figures of modern physics, bold chemists, and scientists accused of spying. The one idea driving them is to master the atom, whatever the result may be.  Modernism's Metronome: Meter and Twentieth-Century Poetics By Ben Glaser 2020 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1421439514 | PDF | 9 MB Despite meter's recasting as a rigid metronome, diverse modern poet-critics refused the formal ideologies of free verse through complex engagements with traditional versification.In the twentieth century, meter became an object of disdain, reimagined as an automated metronome to be transcended by new rhythmic practices of free verse. Yet meter remained in the archives, poems, letters, and pedagogy of modern poets and critics. In Modernism's Metronome, Ben Glaser revisits early twentieth-century poetics to uncover a wide range of metrical practice and theory, upending our inherited story about the "breaking" of meter and rise of free verse.  Angela Lumpkin, "Modern Sport Ethics: A Reference Handbook" English | 2016 | pages: 417 | ISBN: 1440851158 | PDF | 3,4 mb Sport potentially can teach character as well as social and moral values, but only when these positive concepts are consistently taught, modeled, and reinforced by sport leaders with the moral courage to do so. The seeming moral crisis threatening amateur and youth sport―evidenced by athletes, coaches, and parents alike making poor ethical choices―and ongoing scandals regarding performance-enhancing drug use by professional athletes make sports ethics a topic of great concern. This work enables readers to better understand the ethical challenges facing competitive sport by addressing issues such as gamesmanship, doping, cheating, sportsmanship, fair play, and respect for the game.  Robert D. Guenther, "Modern Optics Simplified" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0198842864, 0198842856 | DJVU | pages: 456 | 24.8 mb This textbook reduces the complexity of the coverage of optics to allow a student with only elementary calculus to learn the principles of optics and the modern Fourier theory of diffraction and imaging. Students majoring in sciences or engineering and taking a standard physics course on optics will find this text useful. Examples of a variety of applications dependent on optics allow the student to connect this course to their particular field of interest. Topics covered include aberrations with experimental examples, correction of chromatic aberration, explanation of coherence and the use of interference theory to design an antireflection coating. Fourier transform optics and its application to diffraction and imaging, use of Gaussian wave theory, and fiber optics make the text of interest to those in electrical and bioengineering as well as physics and medical science.
