Free Download Reuven Tsur, "Poetic Rhythm: Structure and Performance - An Empirical Study in Cognitive Poetics Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 1845195248 | 2012 | 460 pages | PDF | 13 MB
This research is an instrumental investigation of a theory of rhythmical performance of poetry, originally propounded speculatively in the author's Perception-Oriented Theory of Metre (1977). "Iambic pentameter" means that there is a verse unit consisting of an unstressed and a stressed syllable (in this order), and that the verse line consists of five such units. In the first 165 verse lines of Paradise Lost there are two such lines. The theory takes up one of the central issues in metrical studies: all criteria for metricality hitherto proposed have been violated by the greatest masters of musicality in English poetry. The question arises, how do we recognise two verse lines that are very different in their structures as instances of the same abstract pattern of, eg: iambic pentameter; and how do we distinguish a metrical from an unmetrical line. One great difference between this theory of metre and others concerns the status of deviation. Most theoreticians deploy a battery of tools to make deviant stress patterns conform with metric pattern. Only when all attempts fail do they speak of "tension". When they succeed, they blur the distinction between, for example, Milton's and Pope's metrical styles. Or else, they have formulated different rules of metricality for Shakespeare and Milton. This theory assumes that when the versification patterns and linguistic patterns conflict, they can be accommodated in a pattern of "Rhythmical Performance" - namely one in which the conflicting patterns are simultaneously perceptible. There are scales of mounting difficulties of mismatches, on which each poet (and each theorist) draws at different points the boundary of what is acceptable. Reuven Tsur's revised and expanded edition (original publication, Peter Lang, 1986) is essential reading for all scholars and students involved in versification and Cognitive Poetics.

Free Download Photocatalytic Hydrogen Fuel Generation: Designing Highly Efficient Semiconductor Materials
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819619203 | 321 Pages | PDF (True) | 30 MB
This book highlights crucial parameters and strategies in photocatalytic water splitting. The process utilizes light energy to drive the separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen with the help of a photocatalyst. The efficiency and performance of catalytic activities are determined by various parameters supported by material characterizations. Commonly, the catalytic performances in visible-light photocatalytic water splitting are governed by bandgap energy, surface area, crystal structure, charge carrier dynamics, catalyst loading, cocatalyst, pH of solution, and reaction temperatures. However, covering all the requirements to obtain a highly efficient catalytic activity is an impossible task. Some recent strategies with promising results have been explored to improve and optimize the catalytic properties. In addition, various techniques for catalytic material characterizations, such as XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, XANES, EXALFS, TRPL, TPC, EIS, and CV analysis, are also discussed. Finally, some related perspectives and outlook are discussed for future development.

Free Download Peter Zumthor: Buildings and Projects, 1985-2013 [5 Volume Set] edited by Thomas Durisch
English | May 15, 2014 | ISBN: 3858817236 | Scan PDF | 850 pages | 180.9 MB
Unquestionably one of the most influential and revered contemporary architects, Peter Zumthor has approached his work with a singular clarity of vision and a strong sense of his own philosophy, both of which have earned him the admiration of his peers and the world at large. Choosing to only take on a few projects at a time and keep his studio small, Zumthor has produced a comparatively few number of realized buildings, but they rank among the world's most stunning: St. Benedict's Chapel in Sumvitg, Switzerland; Therme Vals in Vals, Switzerland; Kunsthaus Bregenz in Bregenz, Austria; and the Kolumba Art Museum in Cologne, Germany number among his most famous buildings. This collection, however, explores his entire body of award-winning work from 1986 to 2012 in five volumes, including his lesser-known but nonetheless critically acclaimed works such as the Field Chapel for Brother Klaus near Mechernich, Germany, and the Steilneset. Memorial for the Victims of the Witch Trials in Vardø, Norway.

English | ISBN: 022619518X | 2017 | 224 pages | AZW3 | 897 KB
In recent years, scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds have led to major changes in how we think about, and treat, animals in zoos and aquariums. The general public, it seems, is slowly coming to understand that animals like apes, elephants, and dolphins have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives, and that we need to act accordingly.
