Free Download Okwui Enwezor, "Archive Fever: Uses of the Document in Contemporary Art" English | 2008 | ISBN: 3865216226 | PDF | pages: 253 | 26.7 mb Was it Joseph Cornell's dossiers on ballerinas and artists that first proposed the model of the archive as a creative storehouse, a vehicle for the ordering of chaotic fragments? Over the past 30 years, successive generations have taken wide-ranging approaches to archives, most of them (like Cornell) concentrating on photographic and filmic collections. Organized and written by renowned scholar and ICP Adjunct Curator Okwui Enwezor, and taking its title from Jacques Derrida's book of the same name, Archive Fever gathers leading contemporary artists who use archival materials in the fabrication of their work. As Derrida notes, the Greek etymology of "archive" connotes both "commencement" and "commandment," implying that authority is as much at stake as authenticity. For artists, of course, these imperatives provoke all kinds of exciting opportunities for eccentricity and falsification, and the works included herein take many forms, including physical archives arranged by bizarre cataloguing methods, imagined biographies of fictitious persons, collections of found and anonymous photographs, film versions of photographic albums and photomontages composed from historical photographs. These images offer a wide-ranging subject matter, but are linked by the artists' shared meditation on photography and film as the quintessential media of the archive. Artists include Tacita Dean, Stan Douglas, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Zoe Leonard, Ilán Lieberman, Walid Raad, Thomas Ruff, Anri Sala, Fazal Sheikh, Eyal Sivan, Lorna Simpson and Vivan Sundaram, among others.  Free Download Architecture of Computing Systems: 34th International Conference, ARCS 2021, Virtual Event, June 7-8, 2021, Proceedings By Christian Hochberger (editor), Lars Bauer (editor), Thilo Pionteck (editor) 2021 | 247 Pages | ISBN: 3030816818 | EPUB | 25 MB This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2021, held virtually in July 2021.

The selected papers cover a variety of topics from the ARCS core domains, including heterogeneous computing, memory optimizations, and organic computing.  Free Download Architecture Principles: The Cornerstones of Enterprise Architecture by Danny Greefhorst , Erik Proper English | PDF | 2011 | 203 Pages | ISBN : 3642202780 | 3.4 MB Enterprises, from small to large, evolve continuously. As a result, their structures are transformed and extended continuously. Without some means of control, such changes are bound to lead to an overly complex, uncoordinated and heterogeneous environment that is hard to manage and hard to adapt to future changes. Enterprise architecture principles provide a means to direct transformations of enterprises. As a consequence, architecture principles should be seen as the cornerstones of any architecture.  Free Download Approximate Arithmetic Circuit Architectures for FPGA-based Systems English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031212932 | 190 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 35 MB This book presents various novel architectures for FPGA-optimized accurate and approximate operators, their detailed accuracy and performance analysis, various techniques to model the behavior of approximate operators, and thorough application-level analysis to evaluate the impact of approximations on the final output quality and performance metrics. As multiplication is one of the most commonly used and computationally expensive operations in various error-resilient applications such as digital signal and image processing and machine learning algorithms, this book particularly focuses on this operation. The book starts by elaborating on the various sources of error resilience and opportunities available for approximations on various layers of the computation stack. It then provides a detailed description of the state-of-the-art approximate computing-related works and highlights their limitations.  Free Download n/a, "Antique Marks" English | ISBN: 0007205856 | 2006 | pages | EPUB | 21 MB This is a handy guide to interpreting the marks that are crucial in assessing antiques. It includes the hallmarks on British gold, silver and platinum; the gold and silver of America, Africa and Asia; and marks on Old Sheffield Plate and pewter. A second section includes marks on pottery and porcelain from Britain, Europe and the Far East. Thousands of images support the text.  Free Download Antimicrobial Research and One Health in Africa by Akebe Luther King Abia, Sabiha Yusuf Essack English | EPUB | 2023 | 359 Pages | ISBN : 3031237951 | 7.7 MB Antimicrobial resistance is recognised among the world's most challenging problems. Despite its global spread, Africa, specifically sub-Saharan Africa, is the most affected by this malaise. Poor living conditions and inadequate access to sanitation and potable water supplies are among contributing factors that have influenced a high disease burden on the continent, requiring extensive antimicrobials. Weak health systems and the absence of firm policies further aggravate the problem, as the use of antimicrobials is mostly unregulated. The increasing demand for animal protein to meet the starving populations' demands has also influenced the use of these antimicrobials, including those banned on other continents, for food animal production. The ripple effect of indiscriminate use in humans and animals is the massive discharge of antimicrobials, their residues, antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms and their associated genes into the environment.  Free Download Claire Booth, "Another Man's Ground: A Mystery" English | 2017 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 1250084415 | EPUB | 0,6 mb "This contemporary take on a locked-room puzzle is chilling, compelling and completely entertaining, and Claire Booth is a wonderful new voice in crime fiction."―Hank Phillippi Ryan on The Branson Beauty  Free Download An Outsider in the White House: Jimmy Carter, His Advisors, and the Making of American Foreign Policy By Betty Glad 2009 | 414 Pages | ISBN: 0801448158 | PDF | 3 MB Jimmy Carter entered the White House with a desire for a collegial staff that would aid his foreign-policy decision making. He wound up with a team of rivals who contended for influence and who fought over his every move regarding relations with the USSR, the Peoples' Republic of China, arms control, and other crucial foreign-policy issues.In two areas--the Camp David Accords and the return of the Canal to Panama--Carter's successes were attributable to his particular political skills and the assistance of Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and other professional diplomats. The ultimate victor in the other battles was Carter's national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a motivated tactician. Carter, the outsider who had sought to change the political culture of the executive office, found himself dependent on the very insiders of the political and diplomatic establishment against whom he had campaigned.Based on recently declassified documents in the Carter Library, materials not previously noted in the Vance papers, and a wide variety of interviews, Betty Glad's An Outsider in the White House is a rich and nuanced depiction of the relationship between policy and character. It is also a poignant history of damaged ideals. Carter's absolute commitment to human rights foundered on what were seen as national security interests.New data from the archives reveal how Carter's government sought the aid of Pope John Paul II to undercut the human-rights efforts of the El Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero. A moralistic approach toward the Soviet Union undermined Carter's early desire to reduce East-West conflicts and cut nuclear arms. As a result, by 1980 the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) was in limbo, and a nuclear counterforce doctrine had been adopted. Near the end of Carter's single term in office Vance stepped down as secretary of state, in part because Brzezinski's muscular diplomacy had come to dominate Carter's foreign policy. When Vance's successor, Edmund Muskie, took over, the State Department was reduced to implementing policies made by Brzezinski and his allies. For Carter, the rivalry for influence in the White House was concluded and the results, as Glad shows, were a mixed record and an uncertain presidential legacy.  Free Download Louis J.
