Free Download Feeding in Vertebrates: Evolution, Morphology, Behavior, Biomechanics by Vincent Bels
English | EPUB | 2019 | 865 Pages | ISBN : 3030137384 | 179.5 MB
This book provides advanced students and researchers with comprehensive reviews of biological questions related to feeding in vertebrates living in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups to provide major baselines for understanding the functioning of these organisms, with examples in a series of taxa, and ranging from structures to behavior. In turn, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms under the biodiversity of vertebrates.

Free Download Feedback Control Theory for Engineers by P. Atkinson
English | PDF | 1968 | 444 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 28 MB
Textbooks in the field of control engineering have, in the main, been written for electrical engineers and the standard of the mathematics used has been relatively high. The purpose of this work is to provide a course of study in elementary control theory which is self-contained and suitable for students of all branches of engineering and of applied physics. The book assumes that the student has a knowledge of mathematics of A-level or 0-2 level standard only. All other necessary pure and applied mathematics is covered for reference purposes in chapters 2-6. As a students' textbook it contains many fully worked numerical examples and sets of examples are provided at the end of all chapters except the first. The answers to these examples are given at the end of the book. The book covers the majority of the control theory likely to be encountered on H. N. C. , H. N. D. and degree courses in electrical, mechanical, chemical and production engineering and in applied physics. It will also provide a primer in specialist courses in instru mentation and control engineering at undergraduate and post graduate level. Furthermore, it covers much of the control theory encountered in the graduateship examinations of the professional institutions, for example I. E. E. Part III (Advanced Electrical Engineer ing and Instrumentation and Control), I. E. R. E. Part 5 (Control Engineering) and the new c. E. I. Part 2 (Mechanics of Machines and Systems and Control Engineering).

Free Download Fechner: Vorschule der Ästhetik by Christian G. Allesch
Deutsch | PDF | 2018 | 648 Pages | ISBN : 3662573121 | 118.24 MB
Was Menschen als schön empfinden, ist seit rund 150 Jahren nicht nur Gegenstand philosophischen Nachdenkens sondern auch systematischer experimenteller Untersuchungen. Dafür hat der Leipziger Philosoph und Experimentalpsychologe Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801-1887) entscheidende Grundlagen geschaffen.

Free Download Monika Renz, "Fear and Primordial Trust: From Becoming an Ego to Becoming Whole "
English | ISBN: 1032009632 | 2021 | 196 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Fear and Primordial Trust explores fear as an existential phenomenon and how it can be overcome. Illustrated by clinical examples from the author's practice as a psychotherapist and spiritual caregiver working with the severely ill and dying, the book outline theoretical insights into how primordial trust and archaic fear unconsciously shape our personality and behaviour.

Free Download Fat Transfer in Plastic Surgery: Techniques, Technology and Safety by Alberto Di Giuseppe, Franco Bassetto, Foad Nahai
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | Pages | ISBN : 3031108809 | 72.1 MB
Only in recent years new available technologies, the redefinition and refining of intervention techniques, and clinical research studies have widened the spectrum of fat applications in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Fat grafting is nowadays one of the most used techniques in plastic reconstructive surgery, as primary method or as an ancillary procedure. The optimized ratio of fat survival has led to standardized techniques followed by most practitioners.

Free Download Faszination Meeresforschung: Ein ökologisches Lesebuch by Gotthilf Hempel
Deutsch | EPUB | 2017 | 573 Pages | ISBN : 3662497131 | 265.4 MB
In diesem Buch berichten 95 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler über ihre Forschung im Ozean und an den Küsten. Sie führen den Leser von den eisbedeckten Polarmeeren über die Nord- und Ostsee bis zu den Seegraswiesen, tropischen Mangroven und Korallenriffen. Die Beiträge veranschaulichen die Vielfalt der Lebensgemeinschaften zwischen Strand und Tiefsee. Das Größenspektrum der Organismen reicht von Walen und Fischen über Planktonkrebse und Muscheln bis zu Kieselalgen und Bakterien. Die globalen - vom Leben im Meer bestimmten - Stoffkreisläufe werden ebenso behandelt wie die molekularbiologischen Anpassungen der Mikroorganismen, und hier sind auch die größten methodischen Fortschritte zu verzeichnen.

Free Download Fast Fourier Transform and Convolution Algorithms by Henri J. Nussbaumer
English | PDF | 1982 | 286 Pages | ISBN : 354011825X | 20.3 MB
In the first edition of this book, we covered in Chapter 6 and 7 the applications to multidimensional convolutions and DFT's of the transforms which we have introduced, back in 1977, and called polynomial transforms. Since the publication of the first edition of this book, several important new developments concerning the polynomial transforms have taken place, and we have included, in this edition, a discussion of the relationship between DFT and convolution polynomial transform algorithms. This material is covered in Appendix A, along with a presentation of new convolution polynomial transform algorithms and with the application of polynomial transforms to the computation of multidimensional cosine transforms. We have found that the short convolution and polynomial product algorithms of Chap. 3 have been used extensively. This prompted us to include, in this edition, several new one-dimensional and two-dimensional polynomial product algorithms which are listed in Appendix B. Since our book is being used as part of several graduate-level courses taught at various universities, we have added, to this edition, a set of problems which cover Chaps. 2 to 8. Some of these problems serve also to illustrate some research work on DFT and convolution algorithms. I am indebted to Mrs A. Schlageter who prepared the manuscript of this second edition. Lausanne HENRI J. NUSSBAUMER April 1982 Preface to the First Edition This book presents in a unified way the various fast algorithms that are used for the implementation of digital filters and the evaluation of discrete Fourier transforms.

Free Download Antonello Biagini Giovanna Motta, "Fashion through History"
English | ISBN: 1527503453 | 2017 | 670 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book arises from an international conference held at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy, in May 2015, and it includes papers by important Italian scholars of fashion. It is dedicated to one of the main indicators of social change, fashion, analysed within different scientific fields, historical periods, and geographical areas. This volume deals with issues of economy and fashion, copyright, industrial designs, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents, as well as new communication devices and strategies in the era of increasing globalization and market integration. Contributions analyze fashion blogs, fashion communication strategies, relations between fashion and technology, social media, grass-roots communication, social and cultural aspects of digital technologies, mobile fashion applications, and the dynamic fashion system in the virtual world. Visual identification symbols of fashion details, such as the Catalan hat or the Basque beret, the concept of Made in Italy and its success in the world, and new materials and technological innovations are also explored.

Free Download Žarko Paić, "Fashion Theory and the Visual Semiotics of the Body"
English | ISBN: 1527585824 | 2022 | 200 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Instead of the logic of representation of fashion in the light of modern society and postmodern culture, this book argues that contemporary fashion should be regarded as a performative-conceptual turn in the very core of body iconograms. The text presents a theoretical perspective of the phenomenon of fashion within fashion theory as establishing a new approach from visual semiotics. Through this lens, fashion, therefore, emerges as a visual code of contemporary societies and cultures in the networked matrices of hyperreality and visions of that coming time that will determine the combination of cybernetics, fetishism and transgression.
