Free Download The Functional Approach to Data Management: Modeling, Analyzing and Integrating Heterogeneous Data by Peter M. D. Gray, Larry Kerschberg, Peter J. H. King, Alexandra Poulovassilis
English | PDF | 2004 | 516 Pages | ISBN : 3540003754 | 49.2 MB
It is over 20 years since the functional data model and functional programming languages were first introduced to the computing community. Although developed by separate research communities, recent work, presented in this book, suggests there is powerful synergy in their integration. As database technology emerges as central to yet more complex and demanding applications in areas such as bioinformatics, national security, criminal investigations and advanced engineering, more sophisticated approaches like those presented here, are needed.

A substantial update of the previous edition, Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach deconstructs recent feature films and offers a new section analysing popular television series. A proven screenwriting method in emotionally engaging an audience, the sequence approach emphasises the underlying motives of each story Description to better convey its relation to the work as a whole. In this expanded second edition, Paul Gulino includes analyses of recent noteworthy films and serial dramas, such as Parasite, Barry and Breaking Bad, with an eye to how they manage audience attention, convey vital information and deliver their emotional payloads. The aim of the book is to help writers move readily from the feature film to the serial form, mastering both. It is perfect for both beginning writers and those with experience in the feature screenplay form.

English | ISBN: 9088907757 | 2021 | 230 pages | PDF | 13 MB
This third volume of the BEFIM series addresses the life history of vessels from the Early Celtic hillfort settlements of Heuneburg and Vix-Mont Lassois, from a detailed examination of the manufacturing process to the use and modifications of the final products. Pivotal was an extensive experimental program of dozens of experiments directed at a better understanding of the way this pottery was made and used.

Free Download On the Wave Nature of Matter: A New Approach to Reconciling Quantum Mechanics and Relativity by Donald C. Chang
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 341 Pages | ISBN : 3031487761 | 41.1 MB
This book presents a new approach to understanding the foundation of quantum physics through the "quantum wave model" hypothesis. It addresses some of the key challenges in the current quantum theory, including the conflict between quantum mechanics and relativity, and offers a comprehensive solution to many of the existing mysteries in the field. By proposing that the vacuum is a dielectric medium and quantum particles are quantized excitation waves of the vacuum, the book provides a clear physical interpretation of wave-particle duality and explains the physical basis of energy, momentum, and mass.

This book covers all aspects of basic, essential, recent advances and controversies in myopathology. The major emphasis is on diagnostic myopathology of muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies, mitochondrial myopathies, metabolic myopathies, congenital myopathies, myopathies of miscellaneous etiology, neurogenic and neuromuscular junction disorders, the goal being to broaden readers' understanding of individual disease subgroups. The book also contains all the essential details needed to establish a neuromuscular lab, making it especially relevant for laboratory technical staff and research scholars.

Free Download Steph Ainsworth, "Multimodality and Multilingualism: Towards an Integrative Approach"
English | ISBN: 1800413386 | 2023 | 264 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book explores the ways in which multimodality and multilingualism as areas of study intersect and provides empirical examples of how this looks in practice from a wide range of settings. The chapters include visual as well as linguistic descriptions of practice and provide an accessible introduction to multimodality and multilingualism for a readership from undergraduate students to researchers. The book argues that the everyday practices of multilingual communities are multimodal in nature, and that by working at the intersection of multilingualism and multimodality we may be able to make fruitful advances in multiple areas of applied linguistics, and properly appreciate the actual human complexities of communication.

Free Download Lucia Di Vizio , Charlotte Hardouin, "Intrinsic Approach to Galois Theory of Q-difference Equations"
English | ISBN: 1470453843 | 2023 | 70 pages | PDF | 1 MB
The Galois theory of difference equations has witnessed a major evolution during the past two decades, say Di Vizio and Hardouin, and in the particular case of q-difference equations, several different Galois theories have emerged. They consider here an arithmetic approach to the Galois theory of q-difference equations, and use it to establish an arithmetical description of some of the Galois groups attached to q-difference systems. After an introduction to q-difference equations, they cover the triviality of q-difference equations with rational coefficients, intrinsic Galois groups, and comparison with the non-linear theory.
