On Michael Haneke By Brian Price, John David Rhodes
2010 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0814334059 | PDF | 26 MB
Austrian director Michael Haneke is recognized for films that explore the most pressing social questions of our time while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of style with innovative visual and sonic practices. On Michael Haneke is one of the very first and most extensive considerations of Haneke's work. Editors Brian Price and John David Rhodes have gathered contributors whose own work combines critical inquiry and close formal analysis to explore the philosophical, historical, and stylistic complexity of Haneke's films. This volume is divided into three parts, beginning with "Violence and Play," in which contributors explore the relation in Haneke's films between violence and playfulness that complicates questions of media, representation, and morality. Essays in part 2, "Style and Medium," investigate Haneke's stylistic innovation and the ways in which he can be seen as indebted to previous traditions and filmmakers, including the Italian neorealists, Alfred Hitchcock, Antonioni, and Robert Bresson. Part 3 addresses questions of "Culture and Conflict" by looking at the cultural and historical problems suggested by Haneke's films and exploring the relation between culture and film style. On Michael Haneke is both an introduction to the work of a major figure in world cinema and a model for modern media criticism. Scholars of film and television studies, cinephiles, and anyone interested in contemporary film culture will enjoy On Michael Haneke.

Ocean Ambient: Noise Measurement and Theory by William M. Carey
English | PDF | 2011 | 266 Pages | ISBN : 1441978313 | 7.3 MB
This book develops the theory of ocean ambient noise mechanisms and measurements, and also describes general noise characteristics and computational methods. It concisely summarizes the vast ambient noise literature using theory combined with key representative results. The air-sea boundary interaction zone is described in terms of non-dimensional variables requisite for future experiments.
Pamela Lillian Valemont, "Numerology in Action in Our World"
English | 2011 | pages: 35 | ASIN: B005MZ9GYO | EPUB | 2,7 mb
This book is the first in what will be a lengthy series covering the numbers 1 to 99 - the result of 30 years of research into the power of word vibrations in the English language. It deals with the values and identifying chasteristics of the numbers 1, 2 and 3, as they are expressed in the Christian Bible, via the Holy Trinity and reflected in our 3 dimensional world. There is a fascinating section showing the import of the Master 38/11 vibration surrounding the death of John Lennon. The natural and human-made catastrophes we have witnessed during the world year 2011 are also shown to have numerologically intriguing significance.
Numerical Methods for Stochastic Control Problems in Continuous Time by Harold J. Kushner
English | PDF | 2001 | 480 Pages | ISBN : 0387951393 | 39.8 MB
Changes in the second edition. The second edition differs from the first in that there is a full development of problems where the variance of the diffusion term and the jump distribution can be controlled. Also, a great deal of new material concerning deterministic problems has been added, including very efficient algorithms for a class of problems of wide current interest.
Numerical Computation of Electric and Magnetic Fields by Charles W. Steele
English | PDF | 1997 | 273 Pages | ISBN : 0412086212 | 0412086212 | 16.5 MB
Since the first edition of this book was published in 1987, there have been several important changes in the state of numerical field computation, as discussed in the Introduction. These changes have motivated the publication of this second edition. As with the first edition, the objective of this second edition is to give the newcomer to field computation the information needed to perform practical field computations.
XuPing Li, "Numeral Classifiers in Chinese "
English | ISBN: 3110287633 | 2013 | 309 pages | PDF | 1108 KB
This book studies the syntax and semantics of numeral classifiers in Mandarin and other Chinese languages. It explores how Chinese classifiers are semantically interpreted in syntactic contexts and how semantic functions of classifiers are realized at the syntactic level. The book is a contribution to formal Chinese linguistics, and to the understanding of grammatical properties of nominal phrases in Chinese and East Asian languages.
Fiona Jeffries, "Nothing to Lose but Our Fear"
English | ISBN: 1783604158 | 2015 | 208 pages | EPUB | 705 KB
Our 24/7 lives are saturated with round-the-clock fear. Scare-tactic headlines fill our homes and our public spaces. If it's not the war on terror, it's the new war on the middle class. Crisis is the new black, as catastrophe after casualty after crash shape the order of the day. Nothing to Lose But Our Fear delivers a counter blow to this rampant culture of fear fuelled by the likes of CNN, Fox and the Daily Mail.
Nonlinear Dynamics: A Concise Introduction Interlaced with Code
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030910318 | 422 Pages | PDF EPUB | 45 MB
This concise and up-to-date textbook provides an accessible introduction to the core concepts of nonlinear dynamics as well as its existing and potential applications. The book is aimed at students and researchers in all the diverse fields in which nonlinear phenomena are important. Since most tasks in nonlinear dynamics cannot be treated analytically, skills in using numerical simulations are crucial for analyzing these phenomena. The text therefore addresses in detail appropriate computational methods as well as identifying the pitfalls of numerical simulations. It includes numerous executable code snippets referring to open source Julia software packages. Each chapter includes a selection of exercises with which students can test and deepen their skills.
