Conflict, Reconciliation and Peace Education: Moving Burundi Toward a Sustainable Future By William Timpson, Elavie Ndura, Apollinaire Bangayimbaga
2014 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 0415702186 | PDF | 3 MB
When the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States occurred―causing that nation to wage wars of revenge in Afghanistan and Iraq―the people of Burundi were recovering from nearly forty years of violence, genocide and civil wars that had killed nearly one million and produced another million refugees. Here in this small East African nation, one of the four poorest nations on earth, however, was a desire for reconciliation―not revenge―and it still runs deep today.The University of Ngozi in northern Burundi was created in 1999 and is now dedicated to peace, reconciliation and sustainable development. People in this region tell remarkable stories of tragedy and recovery amid these horrors. Their stories can inspire others to preserve their humanity and resist the urge to continue the violence, focusing instead on forgiveness, reconciliation and a better way forward. This volume presents case study analysis while pointing to the promise of a new kind of education that is committed to sustainable peace and development. The lessons here for the rest of the world are deep and inspiring.
Conducting Technology Acceptance Research in Education: Theory, Models, Implementation, and Analysis by Ömer Faruk Ursavaş
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 191 Pages | ISBN : 3031108450 | 11.7 MB
This book provides an in-depth discussion of the emergence of technology acceptance theories and models, how we can use these theories and models in education, and data collection and analysis processes of technology acceptance research in education. The book discusses how we can make meaning of technology and apply it to educational settings while we investigate the processes via which people adopt technology in education. The book will appeal to students enrolled in upper undergraduate and graduate courses that cover technology acceptance and use in education, researchers who would like to conduct technology acceptance research in education and need a comprehensive resource, and practitioners such as teachers and administrators who would like to promote technology use at schools.
Jeff Magee, "Concurrency: State Models and Java Programs Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 0470093552 | 2006 | 432 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Concurrency provides a thoroughly updated approach to the basic concepts and techniques behind concurrent programming. Concurrent programming is complex and demands a much more formal approach than sequential programming. In order to develop a thorough understanding of the topic Magee and Kramer present concepts, techniques and problems through a variety of forms: informal descriptions, illustrative examples, abstract models and concrete Java examples. These combine to provide problem patterns and associated solution techniques which enable students to recognize the problems and arrive at solutions.
Ruchika Sharma, "Concubinage, Race and Law in Early Colonial Bengal"
English | ISBN: 1032322829 | 2022 | 208 pages | PDF | 10 MB
This book analyzes the domestic relations which British men came to establish with native Indian women in early colonial Bengal. It provides a fresh look into the history of imperial expansion and colonial encounters by studying the large number of wills left by the British men who came in an official or economic capacity to India. It closely engages with these wills, considering them as unique personal records. These documents, where the men penned down details of their native mistresses, give a glimpse of what their lives, interpersonal relationships, household objects, and everyday affairs were like. The volume highlights how commonplace such non-marital cohabitation was and constructs the social history of these connections. It looks at issues of theft, violence, rape, bequeathment, and property rights which the women had to contend with, and also studies some of the early experiences of the mixed-race children who were a product of these relationships.

The book also presents introduction to computer architecture, Cache mapping methods, and virtual memory.
Toshiki Tajima, "Computational Plasma Physics: With Applications To Fusion And Astrophysics"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0813342112, 0367092034 | PDF | pages: 528 | 9.6 mb
The physics of plasmas is an extremely rich and complex subject as the variety of topics addressed in this book demonstrates. This richness and complexity demands new and powerful techniques for investigating plasma physics. An outgrowth from his graduate course teaching, now with corrections, Tajima's text provides not only a lucid introduction to computational plasma physics, but also offers the reader many examples of the way numerical modeling, properly handled, can provide valuable physical understanding of the nonlinear aspects so often encountered in both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Included here are computational methods for modern nonlinear physics as applied to hydrodynamic turbulence, solitons, fast reconnection of magnetic fields, anomalous transports, dynamics of the sun, and more. The text contains examples of problems now solved using computational techniques including those concerning finite-size particles, spectral techniques, implicit differencing, gyrokinetic approaches, and particle simulation.

Comparative Physiology and Evolution of the Autonomic Nervous System
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3718651378 | 395 Pages | PDF (True) | 115 MB
Comparative Physiology and Evolution of the Autonomic Nervous System, the fourth volume in the Autonomic Nervous System series, is an up-to-date account of the comparative physiology and functional anatomy of the autonomic nervous system, with an emphasis on non-mammalian vertebrates. The book starts with an overview of the field and then discusses both 'classical' (adrenergic and cholinergic) non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic (NANC) types of neurotransmission. The account is then further developed by an examination of the autonomic nervous control of specific systems and organs. Readership: Researchers, working professionals, undergraduates and graduates working in neurology, cardiology, internal medicine, clinical pharmacology, and hypertension.
