Free Download The Spectrum of Neuroendocrine Neoplasia: A Practical Approach to Diagnosis, Classification and Therapy by Sylvia L. Asa
English | EPUB | 2021 | 476 Pages | ISBN : 3030543900 | 437.5 MB
Neuroendocrine neoplasms comprise a large family of proliferative lesions that involve almost every part of the body. Our understanding of their cells of origin as well as the pathology, pathophysiology and genetics of these neoplasms has made tremendous advances in the last few decades.

Free Download The Socio-Cognitive Approach to Communication and Pragmatics by Istvan Kecskes
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 336 Pages | ISBN : 3031301595 | 7.5 MB
The book aims to serve as a theoretical framework for the socio-cognitive approach (SCA) that is an alternative to the two main lines of pragmatics research: linguistic-philosophical pragmatics and sociocultural-interactional pragmatics. SCA broadens the scope of the field with an intent to incorporate not only L1 communication but also intercultural communication, and communication in a second language. The author integrates the pragmatic view of cooperation and the cognitive view of egocentrism and emphasizes that both cooperation and egocentrism are manifested in all phases of communication, albeit to varying extents. SCA places equal importance on the social and cognitive individual factors in pragmatics. The author claims that while (social) cooperation is an intention-directed practice that is governed by relevance, (individual) egocentrism is an attention-oriented trait dominated by salience.

Free Download The Fundamentals of Newtonian Mechanics: For an Introductory Approach to Modern Physics by Maurizio Spurio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 403 Pages | ISBN : 3031472888 | 52 MB
Classical mechanics is the basis for any university-level study of technical-scientific disciplines. But most existing manuals use a technological and engineering approach, with basic aspects sometimes insufficiently highlighted. This book introduces the concepts and applications of classical mechanics into Newtonian formalism. Newtonian dynamics is useful for solving applied physics and engineering problems, but also a fascinating theory anchored in questions posed since the times of the Greek philosophers, regarding space, the flow of time, measurable physical quantities, the physical principles with the mathematical structure needed to describe the Universe, etc. The author aims to encourage students to think about these fundamental aspects and how they will be addressed in modern physics, including the successes and limitations of Newton's mechanics. The book is designed to mirror the progress of the students using it, with earlier chapters assuming no more than basic high school instruction and later ones geared toward subsequent enhanced understanding. The book is designed for students of undergraduate programs in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering who will deal with modern physics, as they will benefit from an approach in which the aspects of classical mechanics are introduced in a propaedeutic approach towards relativistic physics and quantum mechanics.

Free Download The Bounding Approach to VLSI Circuit Simulation by Charles A. Zukowski
English | PDF | 1986 | 231 Pages | ISBN : 0898381762 | 19.8 MB
This book proposes a new approach to circuit simulation that is still in its infancy. The reason for publishing this work as a monograph at this time is to quickly distribute these ideas to the research community for further study. The book is based on a doctoral dissertation undertaken at MIT between 1982 and 1985. In 1982 the author joined a research group that was applying bounding techniques to simple VLSI timing analysis models. The conviction that bounding analysis could also be successfully applied to sophisticated digital MOS circuit models led to the research presented here. Acknowledgments 'me author would like to acknowledge many helpful discussions and much support from his research group at MIT, including Lance Glasser, John Wyatt, Jr. , and Paul Penfield, Jr. Many others have also contributed to this work in some way, including Albert Ruchli, Mark Horowitz, Rich Zippel, Chtis Terman, Jacob White, Mark Matson, Bob Armstrong, Steve McCormick, Cyrus Bamji, John Wroclawski, Omar Wing, Gary Dare, Paul Bassett, and Rick LaMaire. The author would like to give special thanks to his wife, Deborra, for her support and many contributions to the presentation of this research. The author would also like to thank his parents for their encouragement, and IBM for its financial support of t,I-Jis project through a graduate fellowship. THE BOUNDING APPROACH TO VLSI CIRCUIT SIMULATION 1. INTRODUCTION The VLSI revolution of the 1970's has created a need for new circuit analysis techniques.

Free Download Structures: A Studio Approach by Edmond Saliklis
English | EPUB | 2020 | 342 Pages | ISBN : 3030331520 | 188.52 MB
Understanding how gravity loads and wind and earthquake loads flow through a building is of utmost importance to all structural engineers and architects. Paradoxically, this critical idea is practically not addressed in any textbook on the market. Meant as a companion to the author's Structures: A Geometric Approach, this textbook fills that need with qualitative techniques as well as quantitative tools that use state of the art visual representation of forces and deformations in structures.

Free Download Russia's Approach to Post-Conflict Reconstruction: The History, Context, and its effect on Ukraine by Sultan Barakat
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 216 Pages | ISBN : 3031345215 | 8 MB
Soon after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Vladimir Putin expressed Russia's commitment for the reconstruction of the war-devasted Eastern regions of Ukraine. It is surprising how little analytical and comparative literature exists about Russia's experience in post-conflict recovery despite its involvement in a large number of conflict areas, both as an intervenor and as a donor.

Free Download Roberto Marchesini, "Posthumanist Manifesto: A Pluralistic Approach "
English | ISBN: 1666928224 | 2023 | 204 pages | EPUB, PDF | 520 KB + 2 MB
Posthumanist Manifesto: A Pluralistic Approach compares the posthumanist proposal with humanism and transhumanism in ethics, aesthetics, ontology, and epistemology. Roberto Marchesini clarifies the specificity of the posthumanist approach and the novelty of its theoretical and applicative program. Beyond theoretical aspects of poshumanism, this book proposes new approaches to social models, personal rights and citizenship, the relationship between the biosphere and the ecological crisis, and the impact of technology.

Free Download Donald Gillies, "Lakatos and the Historical Approach to Philosophy of Mathematics "
English | ISBN: 1009467980 | 2023 | 75 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Element begins by claiming that Imre Lakatos (1922-74) in his famous paper 'Proofs and Refutations' (1963-64) was the first to introduce the historical approach to philosophy of mathematics. Section 2 gives a detailed analysis of Lakatos' ideas on the philosophy of mathematics. Lakatos died at the age of only 51, and at the time of this death had plans to continue his work on philosophy of mathematics which were never carried out. However, Lakatos' historical approach to philosophy of mathematics was taken up by other researchers in the field, and Sections 3 and 4 of the Element give an account of how they developed this approach. Then Section 5 gives an overview of what has been achieved so far by the historical approach to philosophy of mathematics and considers what its prospects for the future might be.

Free Download Prof Daniel Greco, "Idealization in Epistemology: A Modest Modeling Approach"
English | ISBN: 0198860552 | 2023 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB
It's standard in epistemology to approach questions about knowledge and rational belief using idealized, simplified models. But while the practice of constructing idealized models in epistemology is old, metaepistemological reflection on that practice is not. Greco argues that the fact that epistemologists build idealized models isn't merely a metaepistemological observation that can leave first-order epistemological debates untouched. Rather, once we view epistemology through the lens of idealization and model-building, the landscape looks quite different.
