V. G. Turaev, "Introduction to Combinatorial Torsions"
English | 2001 | pages: 130 | ISBN: 0817664033, 3764364033 | DJVU | 1,3 mb
This book is an introduction to combinatorial torsions of cellular spaces and manifolds with special emphasis on torsions of 3-dimensional manifolds. The first two chapters cover algebraic foundations of the theory of torsions and various topological constructions of torsions due to K. Reidemeister, J.H.C. Whitehead, J. Milnor and the author. We also discuss connections between the torsions and the Alexander polynomials of links and 3-manifolds. The third (and last) chapter of the book deals with so-called refined torsions and the related additional structures on manifolds, specifically homological orientations and Euler structures. As an application, we give a construction of the multivariable Conway polynomial of links in homology 3-spheres. At the end of the book, we briefly describe the recent results of G. Meng, C.H. Taubes and the author on the connections between the refined torsions and the Seiberg-Witten invariant of 3-manifolds. The exposition is aimed at students, professional mathematicians and physicists interested in combinatorial aspects of topology and/or in low dimensional topology. The necessary background for the reader includes the elementary basics of topology and homological algebra.

Introduction to Biotechnology 2nd Edition

INTRODUCTION TO BIOTECHNOLOGY: AN AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION offers a thorough introduction to biotechnology and the ways it has revolutionized modern agriculture. This newly updated text provides a solid grounding in core biotechnology concepts, as well as information on cutting-edge science and technology and their applications in real-world agriculture, medicine, and health care. The text's in-depth coverage includes essential topics such as cell functions, genetics, biotechnology applications, and biotech careers, as well as a thoughtful and balanced examination of controversial issues such as genetic engineering, genetically modified organisms, cloning, and potential dangers to humans and the environment. Building on the text's proven strengths, the Second Edition features a stronger emphasis on the science and math of biotechnology, updated content to reflect the latest trends and technology, and new lab exercises to reinforce key concepts and help master the tools and techniques needed to succeed in biotech careers.

Introducing Phonology By David Odden
2005 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0521826691 | PDF | 10 MB
This accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to phonology, the study of sound patterns in language. Designed for undergraduates with only a basic knowledge of linguistics, it logically develops the techniques of phonological analysis. Over sixty graded exercises encourage students to make their own analyses of phonological patterns and processes, based on extensive data and problem sets from a variety of languages.

Interdisziplinäre Kreuzungen: Soziologie - Anthropologie - Geschichte
Deutsch | 2022 | ISBN: 3658366842 | 420 Pages | PDF EPUB | 2 MB
Die Aufforderung, über den Tellerrand des eigenen Faches hinauszuschauen, die Einsicht, daß sich nicht unbedingt im Zentrum, sondern an den Rändern von Fächern neuartige Fragen stellen, und die Klagen über den Fachidiotismus sind wohlbekannt. Der geflügelte Spruch des Dichters Jean Paul: „Jeder Fachmann ist in seinem Fach ein Esel" trifft auch Nur-Soziologen, die nichts von ihrem Fach wissen, wenn sie sich nicht in der Landschaft auskennen, die ihre Disziplin umgibt. Ihre späte Akademisierung hat der Soziologie eine schöne Vielfalt von angrenzenden Nachbarschaften beschert. Dieser Band handelt von Kreuzungen zwischen Soziologie, Anthropologie und Geschichte. In den Studien geht es unter anderem um historische Quellen soziologischen Denkens, um die Erforschung von Biografien, um kulturelle Identität und Migration, die Problemgeschichte der Anthropologie, um Gabe und Rache, um den Ort der Phänomenologie in der Soziologie und Anthropologie artifizieller Lebenswelt, um Postmoderne als Gegenwart oder Epoche, die Begrenzungen des Historismus, das Verhältnis von Subjektivierungsweise und Geschichte, die soziale Funktion von Vergangenheitsrepräsentation und die Frage: Welche Vergangenheit brauchen unsere Kinder?

Elżbieta Drążkiewicz, "Institutionalised Dreams: The Art of Managing Foreign Aid "
English | ISBN: 1789205530 | 2020 | 248 pages | EPUB | 1514 KB
Using examples from Poland, Elżbieta Drążkiewicz explores the question of why states become donors and individuals decide to share their wealth with others through foreign aid. She comes to the conclusion that the concept of foreign aid requires the establishment of a specific moral economy which links national ideologies and local cultures of charitable giving with broader ideas about the global political economy. It is through these processes that faith in foreign aid interventions as a solution to global issues is generated. The book also explores the relationship linking a state institution with its NGO partners, as well as international players such as the EU or OECD.
