Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
Download or read book Reconfigurable Antennas written by Jennifer T. Bernhard and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antennas are necessary and critical components of communication and radar systems. Making antennas reconfigurable so that their behavior can adapt with changing system requirements or environmental conditions can ameliorate or eliminate these restrictions and promises to provide additional levels of functionality for any system. If a single reconfigurable antenna could deliver the same functionality of more than one traditional single-purpose system, significant savings in cost, weight, volume, and maintenance/repair resources may be realizable.Reconfigurable Antennas describes in detail the critical parameters for antenna operation, as well as possible methods for achieving reconfigurability in each of these parameters. It also discusses practical issues surrounding the implementation of reconfigurable antennas, including feed methods, bias line design and implementation, and component selection. Finally, the book offers a view of the future of reconfigurable antennas and their promise to expand and improve system functionality in a range of different operating scenarios.

Download or read book Computational Methods in Nuclear Radiation Shielding and Dosimetry written by Kulwinder Singh Mann and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of the most widely used computational methods and techniques for calculating shielding parameters that are required for radiation-shielding investigations of dosimetric materials. The theoretical, experimental, and simulation methods and their applications are described. The book is divided into thirteen chapters that are arranged in a systematic order and written by experienced scientists and academicians worldwide. The gamma-ray shielding parameter calculations with the Monte Carlo simulation techniques viz. MCNP, GEANT4, FLUKA, and EGS5 codes are illustrated. Descriptions of various software such as XCOM, WinXCom, FLUKA, Phy-X, BMIX, ASFIT, and ANSI are provided. A review of fundamental quantities for calculation of ambient dose, i.e., photon and neutron buildup factors, is presented. A phantom-based computation model has been included to indicate the applications of radiation dosimetry in medical diagnostics. The chapters on computed-tomography (CT) have been included to provide insight into the radiations' diagnostic capabilities and applications. The shielding effectiveness of some materials such as ignimbrite rocks, amorphous metals, marbles, dosimetric materials, and novel shielding materials have been investigated. The most recent concept of multi-layered shielding and related buildup factors' influence on the shielding effectiveness is described with a computer program, the RIMP-TOOLKIT. This book is the result of the authors' hard-work and determination during the worldwide lockdown period caused by the spread of COVID-19. The conclusions presented in this book will be useful in nuclear radiation shielding and for dosimetric purposes. Additionally, this book will be helpful for postgraduate students of physics and chemistry.
Download or read book The Dare written by Harley Laroux and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessica Martin is not a nice girl. As Prom Queen and Captain of the cheer squad, she'd ruled her school mercilessly, looking down her nose at everyone she deemed unworthy. The most unworthy of them all? The "freak," Manson Reed: her favorite victim. But a lot changes after high school. A freak like him never should have ended up at the same Halloween party as her. He never should have been able to beat her at a game of Drink or Dare. He never should have been able to humiliate her in front of everyone. Losing the game means taking the dare: a dare to serve Manson for the entire night as his slave. It's a dare that Jessica's pride - and curiosity - won't allow her to refuse. What ensues is a dark game of pleasure and pain, fear and desire. Is it only a game? Only revenge? Only a dare? Or is it something more? The Dare is an 18+ erotic romance novella and a prequel to the Losers Duet. Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book contains graphic sexual scenes, intense scenes of BDSM, and strong language. A full content note can be found in the front matter of the book.

Download or read book The Propagation of Gamma Quanta in Matter written by O. I. Leipunskii and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Propagation of Gamma Quanta in Matter deals with various problems of the propagation and absorption of gamma quanta in matter, including the occurrence of multiple scattering of radiation. A general account of theoretical methods of solving problems of multiple scattering of quanta is presented, with emphasis on the results of solving such problems. This book consists of three chapters and begins with a discussion on the interaction of gamma radiation with matter; multiple scattering of gamma quanta; and the distribution function and quantities connected with it. The next chapter focuses on the theory of multiple scattering of gamma quanta and covers subjects such as the transport equation and its analytical solution; method of moments; method of random sampling; and method of successive collisions. The last chapter examines the propagation of radiation for various geometrical configurations of the sources and absorbing media, paying particular attention to a point source in a homogeneous medium and on the boundary of two media; unidirectional radiation in a homogeneous medium; reflexion of gamma radiation from the surface of a scattering medium; a plane isotropic source; and a thick radiating layer of an absorbing medium. This monograph will appeal to students as well as physicists and engineers engaged in shield design problems.

Download or read book A Semiempirical Formula for Differential Dose Albedo for Gamma Rays on Concrete written by A. B. Chilton and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A semiempirical formula is developed which yields values for the differential dose albedo of gamma rays on concrete. Gamma rays of incident energies 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 10.0 Mev are considered. Results of the formula are compared with values derived from Monte Carlo calculations for the backscattering of gamma rays from a semi-infinite slab of concrete. Results show that a two-parameter formula gives satisfactory agreement with the Monte Carlo calculations. The principal assumption involved in the theoretical analysis is that the actual reflection process can be approximated by two terms, one involving a single Compton scattering event, and the other involving isotropic scattering.

Download or read book The Effect of Source Distance on Buildup Factor for Gamma Rays Penetrating Into a Compartmented Structure written by S. Tomoeda and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to correlate some basic measurements of radiation attenuation made on an aircraft carrier to other situations and geometries, experiments were carried out to study the effects of source distance on the dose distribution inside a model-sized compartmented structure intended to simulate the carrier. Data are presented in the form of buildup factors (B[r) as functions of source-to-detector distance for two configurations of the compartmented structure. Buildup factors are also presented as functions of the slant path through the interposing steel plates for the case where the source is considered far from the structure. Comparisons of B[r within our complex structure with single-slab values are also included. In every case, the buildup factor for the compartmented structure was found to be consistently and significantly lower than the single-slab data. The greatest difference in buildup (B[r-1) amounted to 30 percent.
