A Primer on Wavelets and Their Scientific Applications
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Walker, James S. / Krantz, Steven G., PUBLISHER: CRC Press, The rapid growth of wavelet applications-speech compression and analysis, image compression and enhancement, and removing noise from audio and images-has created an explosion of activity in creating a theory of wavelet analysis and applying it to a wide variety of scientific and engineering problems. It becomes important, then, that engineers and scientists have a working understanding of wavelets. Until now, however, the study of wavelets has been beyond the mathematical grasp of many who need this understanding. Most treatments of the subject involve ideas from functional analysis, harmonic analysis, and other difficult mathematical techniques. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications offers an introduction to wavelet analysis without mathematical rigor, requiring only algebra and some very basic calculus. The author stresses applications, and explains, using elementary algebra, how wavelet methods are typically applied in analyzing digital data. Software is available for download through CRC's Website that will enable recording, playing, and modifying sound files, and includes a facility for displaying, printing and modifying IEEE gray field images. Unlike other software packages for wavelet analysis, the author developed this attractive, easy-to-use software without the need for a C++ compiler or MATLABa. Throughout the book the author provides numerous suggestions for computer experiments designed to challenge and enhance the reader's comprehension and provide practice in applying the concepts learned. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications thus provides the perfect vehicle for understanding wavelets and their uses. It provides a fast-track learning opportunity for scientists and mathematicians unfamiliar with wavelet concepts and applications, and it is ideal for anyone without an extensive mathematical background.
The Triumph of Imperfection: The Silver Age of Sociocultural
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nemoianu, Virgil P., PUBLISHER: University of South Carolina Press, In this sequel to his Harry Levin Prize-winning The Taming of Romanticism, Virgil Nemoianu expands his survey of the intellectual and literary movement that swept Europe in the early and middle decades of the nine-teenth century to include rarely studied paraliterary texts in historiography, travel writing, and religious exposition. With The Triumph of Imperfection, Nemoianu traverses literary terrain beyond the canon to gauge the impact of late romanticism's moderate tone on the upheaval, revolution, and agitation associated with the advent of the modern era. He suggests that writers and scholars of the period wielded tools of discourse in such a way as to integrate the new ideals of modernity peacefully and calmly into the normal evolution of society. Subverting the conventional approach to romanticism, Nemoianu argues for a balance between works composed in Western and Central Europe. From this fresh starting point, he analyzes texts from authors both remembered and forgotten, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franois Auguste-Rene de Chateaubriand, and Robert Southey. He considers their approach to educational techniques, the aesthetics of religion, and the interplay of history writing with fiction and contends that, in dealing with the radical changes of their day, thinkers, writers, statesmen, and reformers of the period sought a practical accommodation between the avalanche of revolutionary ideas and the intellectual history that had shaped the past millennia. Nemoianu suggests that at the center of this reconciliation was an acceptance of the notion of imperfection, of partial victories, and of a deliberate search for moderation and balance. Sure to spark scholarlydebate, Nemoianu underscores the value and relevance of the moderating influences he finds in romanticism for the intellectual and social questions facing the current century.
Restoring Streams in Cities: A Guide for Planners,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Riley, Ann L. / Leopold, Luna B., PUBLISHER: Island Press, Conventional engineering solutions to problems of flooding and erosion are extremely destructive to natural environments. "Restoring Streams in Cities" presents viable alternatives to traditional practices that can be used both to repair existing ecological damage and to prevent such damage from happening.Ann L. Riley describes an interdisciplinary approach to stream management that does not attempt to "control" streams, but rather considers the stream as a feature in the urban environment. She presents a logical sequence of land-use planning, site design, and watershed restoration measures along with stream channel modifications and floodproofing strategies that can be used in place of destructive and expensive public works projects. She features examples of effective and environmentally sensitive bank stabilization and flood damage reduction projects, with information on both the planning processes and end results. Chapters provide: background needed to make intelligent choices, ask necessary questions, and hire the right professional help history of urban stream management and restoration information on federal programs, technical assistance and funding opportunities in-depth guidance on implementing projects: collecting watershed and stream channel data, installing revegetation projects, protecting buildings from overbank stream flowsProfusely illustrated and including more than 100 photos, "Restoring Streams in Cities" includes detailed information on all relevant components of stream restoration projects, from historical background to hands-on techniques. It represents the first comprehensive volume aimed at helping those involved with stream management in their community, anddescribes a wealth of options for the treatment of urban streams that will be useful to concerned citizens and professional engineers alike.
The Flight from Reality in the Human Sciences
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shapiro, Ian, PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, In this captivating yet troubling book, Ian Shapiro offers a searing indictment of many influential practices in the social sciences and humanities today. Perhaps best known for his critique of rational choice theory, Shapiro expands his purview here. In discipline after discipline, he argues, scholars have fallen prey to inward-looking myopia that results from--and perpetuates--a flight from reality. In the method-driven academic culture we inhabit, argues Shapiro, researchers too often make display and refinement of their techniques the principal scholarly activity. The result is that they lose sight of the objects of their study. Pet theories and methodological blinders lead unwelcome facts to be ignored, sometimes not even perceived. The targets of Shapiro's critique include the law and economics movement, overzealous formal and statistical modeling, various reductive theories of human behavior, misguided conceptual analysis in political theory, and the Cambridge school of intellectual history. As an alternative to all of these, Shapiro makes a compelling case for problem-driven social research, rooted in a realist philosophy of science and an antireductionist view of social explanation. In the lucid--if biting--prose for which Shapiro is renowned, he explains why this requires greater critical attention to how problems are specified than is usually undertaken. He illustrates what is at stake for the study of power, democracy, law, and ideology, as well as in normative debates over rights, justice, freedom, virtue, and community. Shapiro answers many critics of his views along the way, securing his position as one of the distinctive social and political theorists of our time.

The 36 Strategies of the Chinese for financial traders
Ti consiglio di guardare il mio video: https://youtu.be/yid45C_e0bg Copertina rigida con sovracopertina, formato cm. 23,5 x 16 pagine 515. Queste immagini sono del libro che riceverete. Ancient Chinese strategies provide a valuable link to enhance your ability to survive and prosper in modern financial markets. In this fascinating book, experienced trader and best-selling author Daryl Guppy explains how The 36 Strategies of the Chinese are applied to trading financial markets. In trading there is rarely a single answer to any trading situation. The best answer, and its effective application, depends on the trader. The strategies by themselves do not guarantee success. The trader’s skill in analyzing and assessing the situation determines how effective he is in selecting and applying the right strategy. Guppy was introduced to the book of The 36 Strategies of the Chinese by a Chinese friend. An ancient and classic text, it is a compilation of political and military strategies dating back more than years, drawn from classic Chinese poetry, history, philosophy, biographies and novels. This book includes specific methods for active investors and traders that are consistent with the meaning of the original ancient strategies. The 36 Strategies of the Ch inese for Financial Traders follows the structure of the original 36 strategies. The first 18 strategies are applied when you have the advantage — the luxury of time and resources to examine techniques to recognize and maximize the return from these market opportunities. The second 18 strategies are applied when you are at a disadvantage — they are strategies used against investors and traders to inhibit success. Many of the strategies are enhanced using derivatives. ‘The 36 Strategies of the Chinese are strategies for success in financial markets and 1 encourage you to use these observations to improve your trading activity' — Daryl Guppy

The Last Outlaws: The Lives and Legends of Butch Cassidy and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hatch, Thom, PUBLISHER: New American Library, The Old West was coming to an end.Two legendary outlaws refused to go with it. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid--as leaders of the Wild Bunch, they planned and executed the most daring bank and train robberies of the day, with a professionalism never before seen by authorities. For several years at the end of the s, the two friends, along with a revolving cast who made up their band of thieves, eluded local law enforcement and bounty hunters, all while stealing from the rich bankers and eastern railroad corporations who exploited western land. The close calls were many, but Butch and Sundance always managed to escape to rob again another day--that is, until they rode headlong into the 20th century. Fenced-in range, telephone lines, electric lights, and new crime-fighting techniques were quickly rendering obsolete the outlaws of the wide open frontier. Knowing their time was up, Butch and Sundance, along with a mysterious beauty named Etta Place, headed to South America, vowing to leave their criminal careers behind. But riding the trails of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, Butch and Sundance would find that crime wasn't through with them just yet. In "The Last Outlaws," Thom Hatch brings these memorable characters to life like never before: Butch, the brains of the outfit; Sundance, the man of action; and the men on both sides of the law whom they fought with and against. From their early holdup attempts to that fateful day in Bolivia, author Thom hatch draws on a wealth of fresh research to go beyond the myth and provide a compelling new look at these legends of the Wild West.
The Gluten-Free Baking Book
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Washburn, Donna / Butt, Heather, PUBLISHER: Robert Rose, " Where variety and manageable batches mix deliciously. " These outstanding recipes run the gamut of exactly the type of baked goods those managing gluten intolerance crave -- with a small twist. Based on extensive feedback, we've learned that gluten-free home bakers prefer small batches and yields from their efforts. The reasons vary from space constraints (since people managing gluten intolerance typically require more products, which take up valuable cupboard, refrigerator and freezer space) to the sheer cost of the ingredients. The high cost of these ingredients often means that the baked goods tend to be enjoyed only by those actually suffering from the intolerance as opposed to other family members, friends and the like. And we've heard time and time again how much people crave variety and the ability to bake something that is quick, is easy to clean up and doesn't require hours of baking in the kitchen. You'd never know that dazzling baked goods like these were gluten-free: Muffins, loaves and mixes, including banana oatmeal muffins, date cashew loafCookies and bars, such as crunch mocha cookies, almond macaroons, citrus squaresCupcakes, including sour cream fudge cupcakes, mini carrot cakes, amaretto cheesecakeCrisps, crumbles, puddings and cobblers, such as baked pear pudding for two, strawberry rhubarb crisp, creme caramel, peach cobblerNo-knead yeast breads, including lemon millet bread, pumpernickelTarts and pastry, including basic pastry, lemon meringue tarts, pumpkin tartsHoliday baking, including sticky date pudding, Scottish shortbread, classic crepes The authors also include handy and specially created glossaries for those managing gluten intolerance, including information on equipment, ingredients and techniques.
Managing Interpersonal Conflict
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Donohue, William A. / Kolt, Robert, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Managing Interpersonal Conflict helps readers better understand and ultimately manage their routine interpersonal conflicts. Specifically, the book walks readers through the conflict process--from the initial decision of whether or not to confront differences to how to plan the actual confrontation. Donohue deals extensively with the negotiation process and, if negotiation proves unsuccessful, with third-party dispute resolution. The book emphasizes keeping conflicts under control and keeping focused on the issues. The key to managing conflict is to address differences collaboratively so parties can create better solutions and, ultimately, strengthen their relationships. Managing Interpersonal Conflict prepares and encourages the reader to stop avoiding their conflicts and start confronting them. Designed for college and university undergraduates, Donohue's text and the Interpersonal Commtext series will also interest students and professionals in management studies, sociology, organization studies, and social psychology. "They provide a very useful look at a somewhat broader than usual range of conflict issues.... Where the decision is to confront, it offers useful approaches to allowing face saving and to issue structuring that will allow the conflict, in many cases, to be readily resolved.... The second section... provides a useful and easily worked with framework for negotiating, and deals most effectively with the use of and responses to the exercise of power in the negotiation context.... The book is exceptionally readable and effective in its presentation of approaches to conflict. While it is not a traditional academic text, periodic references to the conflictliterature are used to allow the reader to examine the issues presented in more depth. The book will serve as an outstanding text for a training program in conflict management and can also be used by an individual effectively to learn these techniques." --The Alternative Newsletter

Rest in Peace: A Cultural History of Death and the Funeral
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Laderman, Gary, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Though it has often been passionately criticized--as fraudulent, exploitative, even pagan--the American funeral home has become nearly as inevitable as death itself, an institution firmly embedded in our culture. But how did the funeral home come to hold such a position? What is its history? And is it guilty of the charges sometimes leveled against it? In Rest in Peace, Gary Laderman traces the origins of American funeral rituals, from the evolution of embalming techniques during and after the Civil War and the shift from home funerals to funeral homes at the turn of the century, to the increasing subordination of priests, ministers, and other religious figures to the funeral director throughout the twentieth century. In doing so he shows that far from manipulating vulnerable mourners, as Jessica Mitford claimed in her best-selling The American Way of Death (), funeral directors are highly respected figures whose services reflect the community's deepest needs and wishes. Indeed, Laderman shows that funeral directors generally give the people what they want when it is time to bury our dead. He reveals, for example, that the open casket, often criticized as barbaric, provides a deeply meaningful moment for friends and family who must say goodbye to their loved one. But he also shows how the dead often come back to life in the popular imagination to disturb the peace of the living. Drawing upon interviews with funeral directors, major historical events like the funerals of John F. Kennedy and Rudolf Valentino, films, television, newspaper reports, proposals for funeral reform, and other primary sources, Rest in Peace cuts through the rhetoric to show us the reality--and the real cultural value--of the American funeral.

WIN32 Multithreaded Programming [With Included]
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cohen, Aaron / Woodring, Mike, PUBLISHER: O'Reilly Media, Many Windows developers still write code as if their application is a single entity that, while it is running, has complete control of all system resources. This legacy from the days of DOS means that developers frequently fail to take advantage of Win32's support of multiple threads of execution to improve their application's performance or to enhance its functionality. For instance, a main thread can handle interactions with the user, while a background "worker" thread can handle repainting the application window or performing some background calculations. But multithreaded programming means more than adding threads; it also requires that the code be thread-safe. "Win32 Multithread Programming explains the concepts of multithreaded programs, thus providing the developer with the knowledge necessary to skillfully construct efficient and complex applications. From basic thread synchronization using mutexes and semaphores, to advanced topics like creating reusable thread pools or implementing a deferred processing queue, the book uses real-world applications and carefully constructed examples to illustrate the principles of multithreaded programming. Some of the topics include: How the Windows operating systems handle threadsMultithreading primitives in the Win32 APITechniques for generating thread-safe dynamic link librariesAdvanced techniques for thread synchronizationBasic scenarios for synchronizing threadsCommon designs for building multithreaded user interfaces The CD-ROM accompanying the book features Mcl, the authors' C++ class library for multithreaded programming, which both wraps multithreaded API functions and easily supports more complex multithreaded scenarios. Forprogrammers using MFC, an additional library, Mcl4Mfc, is included for MFC compatibility.

Teac Ah01 Dac
Amplificatore stereo in classe D e DAC a 32 bit / 192 kHz con frequenze di campionamento supportate a 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, kHz, 192 kHz. Per la sezione amplificatore, integrata, si parla di 50W + 50W (4 Ohm), 27W + 27W (8 Ohm). Dispone di una porta Audio USB 2.0 che permette il trasferimento di segnali audio in modalità asincrona con collegamento diretto a PC Più in generale, dispone di cinque entrate audio, USB, Coassiale, Ottica, Line1, Line2 e di apposite uscite per diffusori esterni su connettori Binding-post, più uscita per un subwoofer e una cuffia. La genialità sta nel fatto che è nato soprattutto per essere collegato al PC, al Mac o all'iPod/iPad o memorie su hard disc esterni, così da avere accesso alle librerie musicali in essi contenute. Basta un cavo USB e tutti i contenuti musicali dei nostri dispositivi verranno trasformati in "qualità da audiofilo", così da poterli ascoltare sui diffusori. Inoltre, dal Gennaio , grazie a un'apposita docking station (MP-H01) è possibile controllare il TEAC A-H01 anche da uno smartphone. Questo nuovo convertitore amplificato TEAC A-H01 implementa la tecnologia B&O ICEpower, proprietaria di Bang&Olufsen, declinazione di una classe di amplificazione detta "Classe D", a sua volta una delle possibili implementazioni dell'amplificazione di tipo switching. Questo tipo di amplificazione comporta alcuni vantaggi decisivi rispetto le classi A/B e A, tra cui: 1) Dimensioni ridotte 2) Possibilità di integrare l'alimentazione sulla scheda di amplificazione 3) Altissima efficienza del circuito che scalda poco, così richiede minori esigenze di raffreddamento anche passivo, si evita la presenza di ventilazione forzata; tutto è silenzioso e pesa assai meno 4)Consumo in Watt bassissimo e non e' un fattore secondario con quello che ci fanno pagare l'energia

Approaching Multivariate Analysis, 2nd Edition: A Practical
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dugard, Pat / Todman, John / Staines, Harry, PUBLISHER: Routledge, This fully updated new edition not only provides an introduction to a range of advanced statistical techniques that are used in psychology, but has been expanded to include new chapters describing methods and examples of particular interest to medical researchers. It takes a very practical approach, aimed at enabling readers to begin using the methods to tackle their own problems. This book provides a non-mathematical introduction to multivariate methods, with an emphasis on helping the reader gain an intuitive understanding of what each method is for, what it does and how it does it. The first chapter briefly reviews the main concepts of univariate and bivariate methods and provides an overview of the multivariate methods that will be discussed, bringing out the relationships among them, and summarising how to recognise what types of problem each of them may be appropriate for tackling. In the remaining chapters, introductions to the methods and important conceptual points are followed by the presentation of typical applications from psychology and medicine, using examples with fabricated data. Instructions on how to do the analyses and how to make sense of the results are fully illustrated with dialogue boxes and output tables from SPSS, as well as details of how to interpret and report the output, and extracts of SPSS syntax and code from relevant SAS procedures. A list of further reading shows where more information can be obtained on each of the methods, and all data are provided online at http: //www.psypress.com/multivariate-analysis/datasets This book gets students started, and prepares them to approach more comprehensive treatments with confidence. This makes it an ideal text for psychology students, medical students and students or academics in any discipline that uses multivariate methods.
