Lulu Le Vay, "Surrogacy and the Reproduction of Normative Family on TV" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030175693 | PDF | pages: 270 | 3.2 mb This book examines the proliferation of surrogacy storylines on TV, exploring themes of infertility, motherhood, parenting and family. It investigates how, despite reproductive technologies' ability to flex contours of family, the shows' narratives work to uphold the white, heterosexual, genetically-reproduced family as the ideal. In dialogue with responses from a range of female viewers, both mothers and non-mothers, the book scrutinises the construction of family ideology on television with studies including Coronation Street (1960-present), Giuliana & Bill (2009-2014), Rules of Engagement (2007-2013), The New Normal (2012-2013), Top of the Lake: China Girl (2017) The Handmaid's Tale (2017-present) and film Baby Mama (2008). These studies raise a number of questions; is homosexuality only acceptable when it echoes heterosexual norms? Are female characters only fulfilled when they are genetic mothers? Does heterosexual romance override technology in the cure for infertility? While the answers to these questions may suggest that television still conforms to heteronormative narratives, this book importantly demonstrates that audiences desire alternative happy endings that show infertile female characters more positively and recognise alternative kinship formations as meaningful.  Leiva Casemiro Oliveira, Antonio Marcus Nogueira Lima, Carsten Thirstrup, "Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors: A Materials Guide to Design, Characterization, Optimization, and Usage" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030174859 | PDF | pages: 332 | 33.8 mb This significantly extended second editionaddresses the important physical phenomenon ofSurface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) or Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) in thin metal films, a phenomenon which isexploited in the design of a large variety of physico-chemical optical sensors. In this treatment, crucial materials aspects for design and optimization of SPR sensors are investigated and described in detail. The textcovers aselection of nanometer thin metal films, ranging from free-electron to the platinum-type conductors, along with their combination with a large variety of dielectric substrate materials, and associated individual layer and opto-geometric arrangements. Whereas the first edition treated solely the metal-liquid interface, the SP-resonance conditions considered here are expanded to cover the metal-gas interface in the angular and wavelength interrogation modes, localized and long-range SP's and the influence of native oxidicad-layers in the case of non-noble metals. Furthermore,a selection of metal grating structures that allow SP excitation is presented, as are features of radiative SP's.  Super Bomb: Organizational Conflict and the Development of the Hydrogen Bomb (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs) by Ken Young, Warner R. Schilling 2020 | ISBN: 1501745166 | English | 240 pages | EPUB | 1.2 MB Super Bomb unveils the story of the events leading up to President Harry S. Truman's 1950 decision to develop a "super," or hydrogen, bomb. That fateful decision and its immediate consequences are detailed in a diverse and complete account built on newly released archives and previously hidden contemporaneous interviews with more than sixty political, military, and scientific figures who were involved in the decision.  Keren Censor-Hillel, Michele Flammini, "Structural Information and Communication Complexity" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030249212 | PDF | pages: 383 | 10.2 mb This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 26th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2019, held in L'Aquila, Italy, in July 2019.  Stroke: Practical Management By Charles P. Warlow, Jan van Gijn, Martin S. Dennis, Joanna M. Wardlaw, John M. Bamford, Graeme J. Hankey, Peter A. G. Sandercock, Gabriel Rinkel, Peter Langhorne, Cathie Sudlow, Peter Rothwell 2008 | 998 Pages | ISBN: 140512766X | PDF | 14 MB Completely updated edition, written by a close-knit author team Presents a unique approach to stroke - integrated clinical management that weaves together causation, presentation, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation Includes increased coverage of the statins due to clearer evidence of their effectiveness in preventing stroke Features important new evidence on the preventive effect of lowering blood pressure Contains a completely revised section on imaging Covers new advances in interventional radiology  Stratagem of the Corpse: Dying with Baudrillard, a Study of Sickness and Simulacra (Anthem Series on Radical Theory) by Gary J. Shipley English | January 30, 2020 | ISBN: 1785272756 | EPUB | 222 pages | 0.5 MB This book is unique in its dedicated tackling of the subject of death in the work of Jean Baudrillard. Through new readings of his work, the book makes so patently clear the importance of Baudrillard's tendency to poeticize, his core indebtedness to Georges Bataille, Alfred Jarry, and others, and his reliance on paradox. Ultimately, Stratagem of the Corpse is less a making sense of death and more a transcript of what occurred when death made sense of us, a reverse thanatology in which death delineates the variant forms of our encroachment, not so much death as seen by Baudrillard but Baudrillard as seen by death.  Step Off!: My Journey from Mimbo to Manhood by Dan Cortese English | June 16th, 2020 | ISBN: 1119653479 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 16.90 MB Recognized from Seinfeld and MTV, Dan Cortese now gives readers a personal and humorous look at the life and career of an American TV actor and host  Branko E. Gorenc, Ron Tinyou, Arun Syam, "Steel Designers' Handbook, 7th Edition" English | 2005 | ISBN: 0868405736 | 413 pages | True PDF | 4.2 MB The seventh edition of Steel Designers' Handbook text is fully revised and covers the extensive revision of the 'loading code', which is renamed as structural Design Actions Standard, General Principals. AS/ANZ 1170.0 and its companion parts, 1170.1 to 1170.3. The volume of revisions and new terminology necessitated the first three chapters to be substantially rewritten.

Belton, "Statelessness in the Caribbean: The Paradox of Belonging in a Postnational World " English | ISBN: 0812249445 | 2017 | 288 pages | PDF | 2 MB Without citizenship from any country, more than 10 million people worldwide are unable to enjoy the rights, freedoms, and protections that citizens of a state take for granted. They are stateless and formally belong nowhere. The stateless typically face insurmountable obstacles in their ability to be self-determining agents and are vulnerable to a variety of harms, including neglect and exploitation. Through an analysis of statelessness in the Caribbean, Kristy A. Belton argues for the reconceptualization of statelessness as a form of forced displacement.
