High-level Petri Nets Theory and Application

High-level Petri Nets Theory and Application
High-level Petri Nets: Theory and Application by Kurt Jensen, Grzegorz Rozenberg
English | PDF | 1991 | 724 Pages | ISBN : 354054125X | 64.5 MB
High-level Petri nets are now widely used in both theoretical analysis and practical modelling of concurrent systems. The main reason for the success of this class of net models is that they make it possible to obtain much more succinct and manageable de scriptions than can be obtained by means of low-level Petri nets-while, on the other hand, they still offer a wide range of analysis methods and tools.

High-Pressure Silicates and Oxides Phase Transition and Thermodynamics

High-Pressure Silicates and Oxides Phase Transition and Thermodynamics
High-Pressure Silicates and Oxides: Phase Transition and Thermodynamics
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811963622 | 392 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 46 MB
This book presents a summary of high-pressure phase transitions of minerals and related inorganic compounds. The first part reviews the methods to investigate phase transitions by direct high-pressure and high-temperature experiments together with thermodynamic approaches that consist of calorimetric measurements and thermodynamic calculation. In the second part, phase relations and thermodynamic properties of olivine, pyroxene, garnet, spinel, perovskite, rutile, and related inorganic compounds with A2BO4, ABO3, AB2O4, and AO2 stoichiometries are described. Particular emphasis is placed on spinel- and perovskite-structured phases and their high-pressure polymorphs called post-spinel and post-perovskite phases. The last part of the book focuses on phase relations of mantle rocks and on natural high-pressure minerals from the Earth's deep mantle and in shocked meteorites.

Henry Dresser and Victorian ornithology Birds, books and business
Henry Dresser and Victorian ornithology: Birds, books and business By Henry A. McGhie
2017 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 1784994138 | PDF | 79 MB
This book explores the life of Henry Dresser (1838-1915), one of the most productive British ornithologists of the mid-late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is largely based on previously unpublished archival material. Dresser travelled widely and spent time in Texas during the American Civil War. He built enormous collections of skins and eggs of birds from Europe, North America and Asia, which formed the basis of over 100 publications, including some of the finest bird books of the late nineteenth century. Dresser was a leading figure in scientific society and in the early bird conservation movement; his correspondence and diaries reveal the inner workings, motivations, personal relationships and rivalries that existed among the leading ornithologists.

Harley and Me Embracing Risk On the Road to a More Authentic Life
Bernadette Murphy, "Harley and Me: Embracing Risk On the Road to a More Authentic Life"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1619025973 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 0.7 mb
"Bernadette Murphy's luminous book shows us how to take risks that make us fierce and vulnerable, knowing that true strength is about being generous as much as it is about not giving in." ―Emily Rapp Black, author of The Still Point of the Turning World and Poster ChildWhat happens when women in midlife step out of what's predictable?For Bernadette Murphy, learning to ride a motorcycle at forty-eight becomes the catalyst that transforms her from a settled wife and professor with three teenage children into a woman on her own.The confidence she gained from mastering a new skill and conquering her fears gave her the courage to face deeper issues in her own life and start taking risks. It is a fact that men and women alike become more risk averse in our later years -which according to psychologists and neuroscience is exactly what we should not do.And Murphy stresses that while hers is a story of transformation using a physical risk, emotional and educational risks can serve the same beneficial purpose for other women.

Harlem Nights The Secret History of Australia's Jazz Age

Harlem Nights The Secret History of Australia's Jazz Age
Harlem Nights: The Secret History of Australia's Jazz Age by Deirdre O'Connell
English | November 25, 2022 | ISBN: 0522877648 | 424 pages | EPUB | 5.32 Mb
The 1920s were a time of wonder and flux, when Australians sensed a world growing smaller, turning faster-and, for some, skittering off balance. American movies, music, and dance brought together what racial lines kept apart. A spirit of youthful rebellion collided with the promise of racial perfectibility, stirring deep anxieties in white nationalists and moral reformers. African-American jazz represented the type of modernism that cosmopolitan Australians craved-and the champions of White Australia feared. Enter Sonny Clay's Colored Idea. Snuck in under the wire by an astute promoter, the Harlem-style revue broke from the usual blackface minstrel fare, delivering sophisticated, liberating rhythms. The story of their Australian tour is a tale of conspiracy-a secret plan to kick out and keep out 'undesirable' expressions of modernism, music, and race. From the wild jazz clubs of Prohibition-era LA to Indigenous women discovering a new world of black resistance, this anatomy of a scandal-fuelled frame-up brings into focus a vibrant cast of characters from Australia's Jazz Age.
