Overview: This proceedings volume brings together the invited papers from the Respiratory Biomechanics Symposium of the First World Congress of Biomechanics held in La Jolla, California from August 3D-September 4, 1990. The respiratory system offers many opportunities to apply the different branches of traditional mechanics. Tissue defonnations and stresses during lung expansion can be analyzed using the principles of solid mechanics. Fluid mechanical problems in the lung are unique. There is the matched distribution of two fluids, gas and blood, in two beautifully intertwined, branched condui

Overview: In Renaissance Europe, when ‘leisure classes‘ used social gathering to define civility and the commercialization of leisure was beginning, the human need for recreation became a cultural topos. The book explores the vocabulary of play and games; the spectrum of leisure activities, often gender-specific or appropriate to particular social groups; the medical discourse on the preservation of health, where amusements were assessed as physical exercise; the moral approach to play; legal treatises on gambling; and the visual representation of leisure.978-1-349-43074-1978-0-230-50798-2Seri

Overview: n several of his writings on folk music Bela Bart6k recalls an incident I that happened to him in 1904 during a visit to a small village in Tran­ 1 syl vania. Quite by chance he heard there an eighteen-year-old Hun­ garian peasant girl singing Hungarian folk songs whose construction was 2 significantly different from the songs he had known until then. This experience appealed to his imagination far deeper than chance oc­ currences usually do. It sparked in him a creative fire that was there­ after to impart to his music certain characteristics that are recognizable today as indigenou

Overview: Analyse der Auswirkungen von Basel II auf reale Kreditportfolios - aus gesamt- und einzelwirtschaftlicher PerspektiveDie Umsetzung von Basel II für Banken und deren Kreditnehmer und die damit verbundenen, potenziellen Auswirkungen werden in Fachkreisen intensiv diskutiert. Im Zentrum der Diskussion steht die Frage, welche Auswirkungen mit der Anwendung der neuen Regelungen im Hinblick auf das aufsichtsrechtliche Eigenkapital der Banken verbunden sind. Dieser Fragestellung geht die vorliegende Arbeit nach und analysiert exemplarisch für die Kreditportfolios zweier Regionalbanken, ob u

Overview: In thirteen studies of representations of rape in Medieval and Early Modern literature by such authors as Chaucer, Shakespeare and Spenser, this volume argues that some form of sexual violence against women serves as a foundation of Western culture. The volume has two purposes: first, to explore the resistance these pervasive representations generate and have generated for readers - especially for the female reader- and second, to explore what these representations tell us about social formations governing the relationships between men and women. More particularly, Rose and Robertson

Overview: Proposes new methods for understanding how opinion leaders and influential authors emerge on social media knowledge markets.Advances new approaches to theory-based understanding of how social media reKnowledge and expertise, especially of the kind that can shape public opinion, have been traditionally the domain of individuals holding degrees awarded by higher learning institutions or occupying formal positions in notable organizations. Expertise is validated by reputations established in an institutionalized marketplace of ideas with a limited number of “available seats” and a strin

Overview: Provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific principles underlying cognitive-literary studies.Lays out an alternative approach to the current theoretical paradigm for literary study.Gives concr.Restoring the Human Context to Literary and Performance Studies. argues that much of contemporary literary theory is still predicated, at least implicitly, on outdated linguistic and psychological models such as post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, and behaviorism, which significantly contradict current dominant scientific views. By contrast, this monograph promotes an alternative paradi

Overview: Rock mechanics is a field of applied science which has become recognised as a coherent engineering discipline within the last two decades. It consists of a body of knowledge of the mechanical properties of rock, various techniques for the analysis of rock stress under some imposed perturbation, a set of established principles expressing rock mass response to load, and a logical methodology for applying these notions and techniques to real physical prob­ lems. Some of the areas where application of rock mechanics concepts have been demonstrated to be of industrial value include surfac

Overview: Reissued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, Reading Joyce‘s ‘Ulysses‘ includes a new preface taking account of scholarly and critical development since its original publication. It shows how the now important issues of post-colonialism, feminism, Irish Studies and urban culture are addressed within the text, as well as a discussion of how the book can be used by both beginners and seasoned readers. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original reading of Joyce‘s great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional theory. F
