Alan Bennett - Due storie sporche (2011) Summary:

Adelphi | Italian | 8845926354 | 2011 | PDF | 91 pages | 10 MB

Questo volta Alan Bennett ci tuffa in due farse scanzonate e impertinenti. Entriamo così nell'atmosfera briosa di "Mrs Donaldson ringiovanisce", dove una rispettabile vedova di mezza età, dedita al mestiere di simulatrice di malattie in una clinica universitaria, si trova inopinatamente nel ruolo di apprendista voyeur; e poi nell'esilarante girandola di amplessi e ricatti incrociati di "Mrs Forbes non deve sapere", la sorniona pochade familiare dove finiremo per godere del più grande fra i privilegi - quello di scoprire i segreti per primi. Tutto da ridere? Come sempre con Bennett, non proprio. Il nostro "maestro dell'osservazione" guarda il mondo come uno Swift fattosi malinconico e bonario; e con un'ironia mai livida, spesso affettuosa, irride le inibizioni, i convenzionalismi, le piccole miserie delle persone che si dichiarano normali nella loro vita di ogni giorno. Riuscendo anche questa volta, con la sua maliziosa levità, a insinuarsi nella psiche di tutti.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Human Paleopathology is a major reference work for all those interested in the identification of disease in human remains. Many diseases leave characteristic lesions and deformities on human bones, teeth and soft tissues that can be identified many years after death. This comprehensive volume includes all conditions producing effects recognizable with the unaided eye. Detailed lesion descriptions and over 300 photographs and diagrams facilitate disease recognition and each condition is placed in context with discussion of its history, antiquity, etiology, epidemiology, geography, and natural history. Uniquely, diseases affecting the soft tissues are also included as these are commonly present in mummified remains.

In Engineering Mathematics 4th Edition, theory is introduced in each chapter by a simple outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws and procedures. The theory is kept to a minimum, for problem solving is extensively used to establish and exemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will gain real understanding through seeing problems solved and then through solving similar problems themselves.

Ordered Cones and Approximation

Ordered Cones and Approximation Summary:

Sp[ring./er 1992 | 140 Pages | 3540554459 , 0387554459 | DJVU | 1 MB

This book presents a unified approach to Korovkin-type approximation theorems. It includes classical material on the approximation of real-valuedfunctions as well as recent and new results on set-valued functions and stochastic processes, and on weighted approximation. The results are notonly of qualitative nature, but include quantitative bounds on the order of approximation. The book is addressed to researchers in functional analysis and approximation theory as well as to those that want to applythese methods in other fields. It is largely self- contained, but the readershould have a solid background in abstract functional analysis. The unified approach is based on a new notion of locally convex ordered cones that are not embeddable in vector spaces but allow Hahn-Banach type separation and extension theorems. This concept seems to be of independent interest.

Elsevier Science; 1 edition (September 6, 2007) | 0444530770 | Pages: 456 | PDF | 9.09 MB

Lectins: Analytical Technologies covers both analytical and biological aspects of lectins (functional carbohydrate (complex sugar) recognition proteins) and provides researchers in the field with a resource containing background information and 'look-up' tables detailing lectin specificity and structures. Also included are methods and practical tips for designing new lectins from existing non-lectin proteins, automated approaches to lectin proteomics and high resolution mass spectrometry techniques. This book will be of interest to both novice and advanced researchers in biomedical, analytical and pharmaceutical fields who are involved in the study of lectin structures or who utilize lectins as analytical tools. The study of lectins and their employment in analytical settings spans a range of fields including:

* Crystallography and lectin structure databases

* Carbohydrate microarrays for lectin characterization and glycotope identification

* Proteomic approaches to the functional identification of bacterial adhesins

* Generation of lectins from enzymes

Project Management with Dynamic Scheduling: Baseline Scheduling, Risk Analysis and Project Control

2012-02-14T22:53:00.002+05:00

Project Management with Dynamic Scheduling: Baseline Scheduling, Risk Analysis and Project Control Summary:

Sp ger | 2012 | 3642251749 | 328 pages | PDF | 5,2 MB

The topic of this book is known as dynamic scheduling, and is used to refer to three dimensions of project management and scheduling: the construction of a baseline schedule and the analysis of a project schedule’s risk as preparation of the project control phase during project progress. This dynamic scheduling point of view implicitly assumes that the usability of a project’s baseline schedule is rather limited and only acts as a point of reference in the project life cycle. Consequently, a project schedule should especially be considered as nothing more than a predictive model that can be used for resource efficiency calculations, time and cost risk analyses, project tracking and performance measurement, and so on. In this book, the three dimensions of dynamic scheduling are highlighted in detail and are based on and inspired by a combination of academic research studies at Ghent University (www.ugent.be), in-company trainings at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School (www.vlerick.com) and consultancy projects at OR-AS (www.or-as.be). First, the construction of a project baseline schedule is a central theme throughout the various chapters of the book, and is discussed from a complexity point of view with and without the presence of project resources. Second, the creation of an awareness of the weak parts in a baseline schedule is discussed at the end of the two baseline scheduling parts as schedule risk analysis techniques that can be applied on top of the baseline schedule. Third, the baseline schedule and its risk analyses can be used as guidelines during the project control step where actual deviations can be corrected within the margins of the project’s time and cost reserves.
