 Conflict Management and African Politics: Ripeness, Bargaining, and Mediation (Routledge Studies in Security and Conflict Management) By Terrence Lyons, Gilbert M. Khadiagala 2008 | 169 Pages | ISBN: 0415443016 | PDF | 2 MB This edited volume builds on a core set of concepts developed by I. William Zartman to offer new insights into conflict management and African politics. Key concepts such as ripe moments, hurting stalemates, and collapsed states, are built upon in order to show how conflict resolution theory may be applied to contemporary challenges, particularly in Africa. The contributors explore means of pre-empting negotiations over bribery, improving outcomes in environmental negotiations, boosting the capacity of mediators to end violent conflicts, and finding equitable negotiated outcomes. Other issues dealt with in the book include the negotiation of relations with Europe, the role of culture in African conflict resolution, the means to enhance security in unstable regional environments, and the strategic role of the United States in mediating African conflicts. This book will be of much interest to students of international conflict management, peace/conflict studies, African politics and IR in general.  Confessions of Zeno by Italo Svevo, translated by Beryl de Zoete English | March 30, 2022 | ISBN: 1922491527, 9781922491534 | True EPUB | 302 pages | 0.8 MB 'Italy's first modernist ... a marvellous writer, unjustly neglected. Svevo is a master.' - The New Yorker  Conferences and Combination Lectures in the Elizabethan Church: Dedham and Bury St Edmunds, 1582-1590 (Church of England Record Society) By Patrick Collinson, John Craig, Brett Usher 2003 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 0851159389 | PDF | 11 MB At the heart of Elizabeth I's reign, a secret conference of clergymen met in and around Dedham, Essex, on a monthly basis in order to discuss matters of local and national interest. Their collected papers, a unique survival from the clandestine world of early English nonconformity, are here printed in full for the first time, together with a hitherto unpublished narrative by the Suffolk minister, Thomas Rogers, which throws a flood of light on similar, if more public, clerical activity in and around Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, during the same period. Taken together, the two texts provide an unrivalled insight into the minds and the methods of that network of 'godly' ministers whose professed aim was to modify the strict provisions of the Elizabethan settlement of religion, both by ceaseless lobbying and by practical example. The editors' introduction accordingly emphasizes the complex nature of the English protestant tradition between the Tudor mid-century and the accession of James I, as well as attempting to Description the politico-ecclesiastical developments of the 1580s in some detail. A comprehensive biographical register of the members of the Dedham conference, of the Bury St Edmunds lecturers, and of many other important names mentioned in the texts, completes the volume.  Concepts of Semi-Conductors by 3G Elearning English | January 1, 2024 | ISBN: 1984678876 | 292 pages | PDF | 30 Mb Electronic circuits and semiconductors have been causing a leap that cannot be ignored. There is no one on the planet who has never used semiconductors before. Electronic systems are enhanced by semiconductors, which are used in communication, computing, healthcare, military technology, transportation, clean energy, and many other fields. A semiconductor, also known as an integrated circuit (IC) or microchip, is made of silicon or germanium and is doped, in which small amounts of other elements are added to alter how electricity flows. During the Internet of Things (IoT) era, where physical devices all over the world will be connected to the internet and seamlessly collect and share data via 5G networks, semiconductors will continue to play a critical role. The toaster might turn on with your smartphone eventually, and your fitness tracker might receive the information. A growing number of devices (or billions) will generate data that will need to be analyzed in data centers. Those semiconductors are made on 12-inch silicon wafers. With the rise of 5G and artificial intelligence, the demand for advanced semiconductors has been increasing. Auto companies typically need semiconductors that are fabricated on silicon wafers of eight inches in diameter. It has been decades since car makers used chips for braking, but in recent years, their reliance on chips has increased as they have added more sophisticated features, such as navigation control, infotainment systems, and collision detection systems. To manage power and heat generated by electric cars, chip demand has also risen. There are seven chapters in this book.  Concepts of Database by Biel Sacristán English | 2023 | ISBN: 1984656686 | 185 pages | PDF | 1.46 Mb A DBMS generally manipulates the data itself, the data format, field names, record structure and file structure. It also defines rules to validate and manipulate this data. It includes representing information with the relational database model, manipulating data with an interactive query language (SQL) and database programming, database development including internet applications, and database security, integrity and privacy issues.  Concepts and Reality in the History of Philosophy: Tracing a Philosophical Error From Locke to Bradley (Routledge Advances in the History of Philosophy) By Fiona Ellis 2005 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0415334780 | PDF | 2 MB This book traces a deep misunderstanding about the relation of concepts and reality in the history of philosophy. It exposes the influence of the mistake in the thought of Locke, Berkeley, Kant, Nietzche and Bradley, and suggests that the solution can be found in Hegelian thought. Ellis argues that the treatment proposed exemplifies Hegel's dialectical method. This is an important contribution to this area of philosophy.  Concept of Time-Series Database by Ajit Singh English | September 6, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0FQ3T6SRK | 303 pages | EPUB | 1.95 Mb This book, "Concept of Time-Series Database," is born out of a clear necessity. As educator and professional, I observed a significant gap in academic literature. While countless resources exist for relational and NoSQL databases, a dedicated, student-focused guide that navigates the landscape of time-series databases from foundational principles to advanced, practical implementation was conspicuously absent. This text is my endeavor to fill that void, providing a comprehensive roadmap for the next generation of engineers, developers, and data scientists.  Comte after Positivism (Modern European Philosophy) By Robert C. Scharff 2002 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0521893038 | PDF | 8 MB This book provides the only detailed, systematic reconsideration of the neglected nineteenth-century positivist Auguste Comte currently available. Apart from offering an accurate account of what Comte actually wrote, the book argues that Comte's positivism has never had greater contemporary relevance than now. Providing a lucid exposition of Comte and informed by considerable new scholarship on his work, this book will be valuable to philosophers, especially philosophers of science, a wide range of intellectual historians, and to historians of science and psychology.  Computing Education Research (Communications in Computer and Information Science) by Prajish Prasad, Arun Raman, Bhumika Shah English | December 17, 2025 | ISBN: 3032145821 | 252 pages | True ePUB, PDF | 28 Mb The 12 full papers and 5 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: AI and Responsible Computing in Education; Pedagogical Innovations and Interdisciplinary Approaches; Accessibility, Inclusion, and Equity in CS Education; and Tools and Interventions for Core Computing Concepts.  Computing Attitude and Affect in Text: Theory and Applications (The Information Retrieval Series) By James G. Shanahan, Yan Qu, Janyce Wiebe (Editors) 2006 | 357 Pages | ISBN: 1402040261 | PDF | 7 MB The chapters in this book address attitude, affect, and subjective opinion. Various conceptual models and computational methods are presented, including distinguishing attitudes from simple factual assertions; distinguishing between the author's reports from reports of other people's opinions; and distinguishing between explicitly and implicitly stated attitudes. In addition, many applications are described that promise to benefit from the ability to understand attitudes and affect, such as indexing and retrieval of documents by opinion; automatic question answering about opinions; analysis of sentiment in the media and in discussion groups; analyzing client discourse in therapy and counseling; determining relations between scientific texts; generating more appropriate texts; and creating writers' aids. In addition to English texts, the collection includes studies of French, Japanese, and Portuguese texts. The chapters are extended and revised versions of papers presented at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Spring Symposium on Exploring Attitude and Affect in Text, which took place in March 2004 at Stanford University. The symposium, and the book which grew out it, represent a first foray into this area and a balance among conceptual models, computational methods, and applications. |
