Violence in the Ancient and Medieval Worlds

Violence in the Ancient and Medieval Worlds
MC Pimentel, "Violence in the Ancient and Medieval Worlds "
English | ISBN: 9042936029 | 2019 | 592 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Being an integral element of how humans interact with one another, violence, however disruptive, often also manifests itself as an ordering force. In this collection of essays, the contributing authors explore this particular aspect of violence from a wide variety of perspectives, in a set of studies that focus on both the ancient and medieval worlds. Case-studies in the section on Antiquity include work on such issues as domestic violence; violence and myth; violence in Greek and Roman historiography, poetry, comedy and tragedy, and art; women and violence; violence and pollution; and various studies on classical Greek and Roman perceptions of violence. The medieval section continues with papers that look into the role of violence in the saints' lives and passions, violence in the love poems of the carmina burana, as well as several studies that center on actual cases of violence, such as violence and women in medieval Galicia and violence at Portuguese universities during the High Middle Ages. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in how and why violence came to be embedded in the cultural practices of classical Greece, ancient Rome, and medieval Europe.

Variational Calculus

Variational Calculus
Variational Calculus
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031183061 | 284 Pages | PDF (True) | 4.2 MB
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Calculus of Variations and its use in modelling mechanics and physics problems. Presenting a geometric approach to the subject, it progressively guides the reader through this very active branch of mathematics, accompanying key statements with a huge variety of exercises, some of them solved. Stressing the need to overcome limitations of the initial point of view, and emphasising the interconnectivity of various branches of mathematics (algebra, analysis and geometry), the book includes some advanced material to challenge the most motivated students. Systematic, short historical notes provide details on the subject's odyssey, and how new tools have been developed over the last two centuries. This English translation updates a set of notes for a course first given at the École polytechnique in 1987. It will be accessible to graduate students and advanced undergraduates.

Variantology 3 On Deep Time. Relations of Arts, Sciences and Technologies in China and Elsewhere

Variantology 3 On Deep Time. Relations of Arts, Sciences and Technologies in China and Elsewhere
Eckhard Furlus, Siegfried Zielinski, Arianna Borrelli, "Variantology 3: On Deep Time. Relations of Arts, Sciences and Technologies in China and Elsewhere""
English | 2008 | ISBN: 3865603661 | PDF | pages: 240 | 25.0 mb
The editors of this newest installation of the challenging international art-meets-science-meets-technology journal Variantology endeavor to explain the overlapping and independent histories of European and Chinese media, moving from reflections about the deep time history of certain cultural arts and sciences to speculations that reach all the way into the present and our future. Contributors expand on themes such as: Fireworks as a Time-based Praxis of Performance, Magnetized Chess Automata, Paper-cuts, Thermometers, Radical Interventions in the Natural Landscape by Humans and The Compass, revealing discovery-rich areas that may lead to broader and richer concepts of what art and media are. In addition, they explore media issues from regional perspectives, and finally, they look at deep time-particularly in the evolution of Chinese technology and knowledge. Brecht's 1920s parable proposing that Chinese civilization had already forgotten about the innovations of the Modern Age finds new meaning here.

Understanding Quartz Crystals and Oscillators

Understanding Quartz Crystals and Oscillators
Ramon M. Cerda, "Understanding Quartz Crystals and Oscillators"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1608071189 | PDF | pages: 325 | 3.6 mb
Quartz, unique in its chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, is used as a frequency control element in applications where stability of frequency is an absolute necessity. Without crystal controlled transmission, radio and television would not be possible in their present form. The quartz crystals allow the individual channels in communication systems to be spaced closer together to make better use of one of most precious resources - wireless bandwidth. This book describes the characteristics of the art of crystal oscillator design, including how to specify and select crystal oscillators. While presenting various varieties of crystal oscillators, this resource also provides microwave engineers with MathCad and Genesys simulations.
