Download or read book Quaternion and Clifford Fourier Transforms and Wavelets written by Eckhard Hitzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaternion and Clifford Fourier and wavelet transformations generalize the classical theory to higher dimensions and are becoming increasingly important in diverse areas of mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering. This edited volume presents the state of the art in these hypercomplex transformations. The Clifford algebras unify Hamilton’s quaternions with Grassmann algebra. A Clifford algebra is a complete algebra of a vector space and all its subspaces including the measurement of volumes and dihedral angles between any pair of subspaces. Quaternion and Clifford algebras permit the systematic generalization of many known concepts. This book provides comprehensive insights into current developments and applications including their performance and evaluation. Mathematically, it indicates where further investigation is required. For instance, attention is drawn to the matrix isomorphisms for hypercomplex algebras, which will help readers to see that software implementations are within our grasp. It also contributes to a growing unification of ideas and notation across the expanding field of hypercomplex transforms and wavelets. The first chapter provides a historical background and an overview of the relevant literature, and shows how the contributions that follow relate to each other and to prior work. The book will be a valuable resource for graduate students as well as for scientists and engineers.

Download or read book Transnational Food Security written by Emily Webster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational Food Security addresses food security from an international relations, political economy and legal perspective analysing the relationship between food security and the environment and climate change, trade, finance and contracts, and the intersection between food and human rights. The topic of food concerns one of the most basic and profound aspects of human survival. Universal and equal access to food is, at the same time, ridden with problems of power, inequality, distribution and implicated in old and new geopolitical conflicts. As such, ‘food’ and food security are central to conditions of poverty and hunger, development and ‘modernisation’, transitional justice and rule of law reform around the world. As a problem of critique and scholarly inquiry, food prompts an inter-disciplinary assessment of the nature of food security in the modern world. The contributors to this book take us deep into the complexity of food and illustrate the challenges of adequately understanding and approaching questions of food security and food sovereignty in a globally interconnected world. Transnational Food Security will be of great interest to scholars of international relations, political economy, and transnational law. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Transnational Legal Theory Journal.

Download or read book Plain Brown Wrapper written by Greg Lynch and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impoverished college student Allison Kerry only thought her life was complicated. On a broiling August afternoon in Dallas, it's about to get much worse. Political blackmail leads to a political payoff gone terribly wrong and the money ends up in Allison's hands, but she has no idea where it came from or who lost it. When those who lost the money try to take it back, Allison starts to realize she's stumbled into something far worse than she imagined. To make it through, she'll have to run a gauntlet of corrupt politicians, hired thugs, a sociopathic dog-catcher, a foul- mouthed mob hit man and a pearly-toothed televangelist. Armed with only a single ambiguous clue and the help of someone she isn't sure she can trust, Allison has many questions, few answers and far less time than she thinks to piece everything together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one is safe. Secret McQueen, Book 8 Secret McQueen thought she'd seen it all, but that was before she, Desmond and Holden came home to find New York City burning and the streets overwhelmed with the walking dead. Now, in a race against time, she must find out who is responsible for unleashing hell on Earth. For that, she's going to need a whole new team of vampire wardens to help round up the perpetrators, who turn out to be a gang that makes Sons of Anarchy look like toddlers on tricycles. Her quest across the city brings old friends and enemies out of the woodwork and reminds Secret once and for all why mercy and forgiveness are not always prudent. Lives will be lost, sacrifices will be made, and when the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same again. With no time to mourn her losses, the only question remaining is if Secret can survive long enough to stop the apocalypse...or if this is the one challenge that will finally drown her in rivers of undead blood. Warning: The final book in the Secret McQueen series has it all: hot kisses, unexpected guests, and enough tear-jerking moments to require a whole box of tissues. You've been warned.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Medicine and Healthcare written by Naomi Sykes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maintenance of human health and the mechanisms by which this is achieved – through medicine, medical intervention and care-giving – are fundamentals of human societies. However, archaeological investigations of medicine and care have tended to examine the obvious and explicit manifestations of medical treatment as discrete practices that take place within specific settings, rather than as broader indicators of medical worldviews and health beliefs. This volume highlights the importance of medical worldviews as a means of understanding healthcare and medical practice in the past. The volume brings together ten chapters, with themes ranging from a bioarchaeology of Neanderthal healthcare, to Roman air quality, decontamination strategies at Australian quarantine centres, to local resistance to colonial medical structures in South America. Within their chapters the contributors argue for greater integration between archaeology and both the medical and environmental humanities, while the Introduction presents suggestions for future engagement with emerging discourse in community and public health, environmental and planetary health, genetic and epigenetic medicine, 'exposome' studies and ecological public health, microbiome studies and historical disability studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of World Archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconceptualises the idea of communalism in independent India. It locates the changing contours of politics and religion in the country from the colonial times to the present day, and makes an important intervention in understanding the relationship between communalism and communal violence. It evaluates the role of state, media, civil societies, political parties, and other actors in the process as well as ideas such as secularism, nationalism, minority rights and democracy. Using new conceptual tools and an interdisciplinary approach, the work challenges the conventional understanding of communalism as time and context independent. This second edition includes a Foreword by Romila Thapar and an Afterword by Dipesh Chakrabarty, along with a new Introduction which revaluate the trajectory of communal politics in contemporary India, and question how secularism has come to be understood today.

Download or read book Speed Cleaning Discover This Guide About How To Effectively Use Speed Cleaning Techniques For Beginner s written by Old Natural Ways and published by FASTLANE LLC. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think they know what speed cleaning is all about. They may have a vague idea that it involves using a vacuum cleaner on their carpets or floors. That is where the misconceptions begin. Vacuuming is a far more complex process than most people realize. A good guide to speed cleaning will address every possible issue and give you tips for making the job go faster. Speed cleaning is not the same thing as carpet cleaning, at least not in the common imagination. It is, however, important to realize that difference as well. Speed cleaning should not be the single homework you do only after your floors are thoroughly dusted. It does enough to just make your house look cleaner, but that is it. Attempting to speed clean your entire house with just a vacuum and a broom will leave your floors behind in worse shape than you started out. There is no way you will accomplish that without a guide to speed cleaning, even if you do a spring cleaning every year or so. A guide to speed cleaning, especially one that deals with your carpets, floors, or other areas with thick furniture, will save you time, frustration, and money. A guide to speed cleaning saves you time because you will know exactly how to handle each different task. The first tip for speed cleaning is being aware of what is going on in your home when you are vacuuming. You might be cleaning your dining room and thinking you don't need to clean the kitchen. The truth is, you should still clean the dining room before you move on to the kitchen. It takes twice as much time to properly wipe down a dining room table than it does to wipe down a kitchen counter. The dining room has more stuff on it is harder to reach all the corners of the table to dust and clean it. You will also find yourself with more dust in your vacuum than in your car. If you have to clean between tasks you will want to use a guide to speed cleaning to shorten your time spent between tasks. For example you can use a guide to clean out your garage between tasks. You can speed up your house cleaning tasks by removing as much clutter as possible. The less clutter you remove between tasks, the less time it will take you to get done. Removing clutter will also save time since you won't have to lug around a heavy vacuum cleaner to clear out the rooms between tasks.
