Overview: Innovatively critiques dominant approaches to literary and cultural history.Provides a study that is truly international in scope.Has interdisciplinary appeal to historians and cultural theorists.Incl.This book attempts to understand what ‘contemporary’ has meant, and should mean, for literary studies. The essays in this volume suggest that an attentive reading of recent global literatures challenges the idea that our contemporary moment is best characterized as a timeless, instantaneous ‘now’. The contributors to this book argue that global literatures help us to conceive of the con

Overview: Why longevity? For a number of years, the Fondation IPSEN has been devoting considerable effort to the various aspects of ageing, not only to age-related diseases such as Alzheimer‘s, but also to the Centenarians, the paragon of positive ageing. The logical continuation of this approach is to address the question of longevity in global terms. Behind the extreme values, what span is accessible to all of us and likely to directly concern most of our contemporaries? The individual and col­ lective increase in the duration of life is one of the most striking phenomena of our time. It cou

Overview: Standard reference book with selected and easily retrievable data from the fields of physics and chemistry collected by acknowledged international scientists.Includes supplementary material: The introduction essentially reports molecular theories and equations, on the basis of which most of the evaluated data are established. Specific comments related to some of the molecules considered in the subvolumes II/20B1-4 are retained in the present introduction due to their possible general applicability. Additional information of practical interest (list of symbols with their definitions,

Overview: In .Linear Programming: A Modern Integrated Analysis., bothboundary (simplex) and interior point methods are derived from thecomplementary slackness theorem and, unlike most books, the dualitytheorem is derived from Farkas‘s Lemma, which is proved as a convexseparation theorem. The tedium of the simplex method is thus avoided..A new and inductive proof of Kantorovich‘s Theorem is offered, relatedto the convergence of Newton‘s method. Of the boundary methods, thebook presents the (revised) primal and the dual simplex methods. Anextensive discussion is given of the primal, dual and pri

Overview: In knowledge-based natural language generation, issues offormal knowledge representation meet with the linguistic problems ofchoosing the most appropriate verbalization in a particular situationof utterance. .Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in..Multilingual Text Generation. presents a new approach tosystematically linking the realms of lexical semantics and knowledgerepresented in a description logic. For language generation from suchabstract representations, lexicalization is taken as the central step:when choosing words that cover the various parts of the contentrepr

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This volume contains the proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on L- guages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES 2000), held June 18, 2000, in Vancouver, Canada. Embedded systems have developed consid- ably in the past decade and we expect this technology to become even more important in computer science and engineering in the new millennium. Interest in the workshop has been con rmed by the submission of papers from all over the world. There were 43 submissions representing more than 14 countries. Each submitted paper was reviewed by a

Overview: In 1976 I wrote a monograph on lysosomes (Lysosomes: A Survey, Springer­ Verlag, Vienna) that was intended as an up-to-date, comprehensive survey. Whatever success I may have achieved then in fulfilling that intention, even the effort now would be foolhardy. The literature has grown so rapidly in the past decade that I certainly could not even read all of the essential papers, let alone understand and analyze them. My goal here, therefore, is simply to introduce the major features of lysosomes at a level I hope will be useful both to I;ldvanced students and to researchers interested

Overview: .This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications, LATA 2021, held in Milan, Italy, in March 2021. ..The 26 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book discusses complex loadings of turbine blades and protective layer Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC), under real working airplane jet conditions. They obey both multi-axial mechanical loading and sudden temperature variation during starting and landing of the airplanes. In particular, two types of blades are analyzed: stationary and rotating, which are widely applied in turbine engines produced by airplane factories. .978-981-10-0918-1978-981-10-0919-8Series ISSN 2191-530X Series E-ISSN 2191-5318

Overview: Interkulturelle Kommunikation..Neuseeland für Berufstätige und Expatriates.Dieses .essential. beschreibt Schritt für Schritt Jobsuche, Berufseinstieg, beruflichen Alltag und angrenzende Privatbereiche in Neuseeland und damit verbundene potenzielle Stolpersteine bei der interkulturellen Kommunikation. Das Buch geht sowohl auf oberflächlich Offensichtliches ein, als auch auf subtilere Wahrnehmungen, die durch die interkulturelle Theorie erklärt werden. Der Leser erhält auf diese Weise ein tieferes Verständnis der neuseeländischen Kultur mit ihren Werten und ungeschriebenen Regeln und G

Overview: This volume is the product of a course on longitudinal prospective re­ search arranged by the three editors in Arhus, Denmark, in 1978. The course was supported by the Nordisk Kulturfond for young researchers from the Nordic countries, who had planned or had simply involved themselves in longitudinal prospective research projects of various kinds. The twenty-six participants represented a wide range of professions: statisticians, psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and public health researchers. The teachers came from many countries and represented many disciplines. The cour

Overview: This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Eighth Annual Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, held in Columbus, Ohio in August 1995..The 38 full revised papers presented were carefully selected for inclusion in the proceedings and reflect the state of the art of research and advanced applications in parallel languages, restructuring compilers, and runtime systems. The papers are organized in sections on fine-grain parallelism, interprocedural analysis, program analysis, Fortran 90 and HPF, loop parallelization for HPF compilers, tools and libraries, loo

Overview: Includes supplementary material: In vitro utilization of liposomes is now recognized as a powerful tool in many bioscience investigations and their associated clinical studies, e.g., liposomes in drug targeting; liposomes in gene transport across plasma and nuclear membranes; liposomes in enzyme therapy in patients with genetic disorders. However, before these areas can be effectively explored, many basic areas in liposome research require elucidation, including: (a) attachment of liposomes to cell surfaces; (b) permeation of liposomes through the plasma membranes; and (c) stability

Overview: Using place studies within a postcolonial context, this study explores the sense-aesthetic dimensions in literature such as smell, sound, etc. that often challenge the rationalizing logic of modernity. Through close readings of writers such as Conrad and Coetzee, Moslund invites scholars to shift focus from discourse analysis to aesthetic analysis.978-1-349-50251-6978-1-137-45322-8Series ISSN 2578-9694 Series E-ISSN 2634-5188
