This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a comprehensive investigation of the influence of geometry-dependent factors on performance metrics of superconducting single-photon detectors. With fundamental knowledge, main investigations are focused to extend the spectral bandwidth and to enhance the detection efficiency, especially in infrared range. The developed technology of single-spiral detectors and unconventional electron-beam lithography allows to improve the performance of superconducting detectors.

Download or read book The Potters Quarter written by Agnes Newhall Stillwell and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 1948 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited final part of the publication of the Corinth Potters' Quarter is based on the work of the excavator, A. N. Stillwell, edited and supplemented after her death by J. L. Benson. The pottery, although frequently fragmentary, can often be assigned to known painters or workshops, and the deposits, especially in view of the defective pieces in them, can be argued to contain material almost exclusively of local manufacture. A brief introduction serves to explain the organization of the catalogue and to characterize the principal deposits, most of which contained material from several periods; a summary of represented painters and workshops concludes the chapter. The catalogue presents over 2,300 examples from more than 4,000 inventoried pieces. Almost all are illustrated with photographs, frequently supplemented with detail line drawings of motifs; selected profile drawings represent the principal shapes. A new foldout plan of the Potters' Quarter is included.

Download or read book Conus of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean written by Alan J. Kohn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conus is the largest genus of animals in the sea, occurring throughout the world's tropical and subtropical oceans and contributing significantly to marine biodiversity. The shells of these marine mollusks are prized for their amazing variety and extraordinary beauty. The neurotoxic venoms they produce—injected by a hollow, harpoon-like tooth into prey animals that are then paralyzed and swallowed whole—have a range of pharmaceutical applications, from painkillers to antidepressants. This beautifully illustrated book identifies 53 valid species of the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, a region that supports a diverse but taxonomically challenging group of Conus. Introductory chapters cover the evolution and phylogeny of the genus, and notes on methodology are provided. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, toxicology, life history, and evolutionary relationships. The book includes more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 splendid color plates; more than 100 additional photos, many depicting live animals in color; and 35 color distribution maps. Identifies 53 valid species—the first reassessment of western Atlantic Conus in more than seventy years Features more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 color plates Blends the traditional shell-character approach to identification with cutting-edge shell and radular tooth morphometrics and molecular genetic analyses Includes color images of live animals as well as color distribution maps

Download or read book Good and Evil Part One written by W. M. Pulver and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all fall prey to sin at some point in our life. It happens to some people sooner than later—especially a young sixteen-year-old hovercycle wreck victim, Brody Bienemy. Unfortunately, or fortunately, it happens to him before anyone else gets sucked into his self-created sinnado. This is a time frame during which the souls of the unsaved have been cast to Earth's parallel planet, Trendago—a second chance world that has been harboring the souls of the deceased for millions of years. What happens to everyone who is not saved after the Second Coming? The answer comes from the most unsuspecting place: the damaged mind of this sixteen-year-old. Brody, once a brash and cocksure icon at Rumor Mill High School, is now faced with a life-altering situation that gets him exiled to a juvenile detention center masquerading as a treatment facility in the scorching and desolate Xerophyte Desert. Like every other psyche patient at Dry Sea Octofuture Health (DSOH), he is powerless and hopeless. Or is he? During his treatment, Brody discovers—much to his astonishment—his capacity for prophetic ingenuity. By way of his inexplicable transformation and his invention of a dream machine, he seeks identity and purpose, after being spared death. Will Brody's persistence, contrition for past sins, and newfound genius help him save himself, as well as his friends, from certain spiritual annihilation? Or will his growing awareness of their transgressions—many of them performed at his expense—inspire him to selfishly stand aside as they are cast into the searing pits of Nostradama, damnation for all eternity?

Download or read book Excavations at Kilise Tepe 1994 98 written by J. N. Postgate and published by McDonald Institute Monographs. This book was released on 2007 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes report on five season's excavation and four millennia of occupation at Kilise Tepe, from the Early Bronze Age through the rise and fall of the Hittite Empire and into the Byzantine era when the mound was crowned by a substantial church. The site takes its importance from its position guarding the Göksu Valley, one of the two main routes from the interior of Anatolia to the Mediterranean opposite Cyprus, so that it gives a record of relations between the interior and the seaboard. Of particular interest are the sequence from the Hittite Empire through the end of the Bronze Age and into the classical world, and the Byzantine levels associated with the church. The multi-authored report gives a full account of the stratigraphy and architecture, the ceramics and other artefacts, and various environmental studies.

Each page is backed with a black page, which minimizes bleeding through. There is a list of animals as well as a picture of each finished picture on the last page. This was fun to be able to see what all the book covers and what you will be doing in the future. This therapy is a great alternative to a mediation and at the same time, you train your brain: coloring stimulates those parts of a brain which increase concentration and attention. This is the perfect book to take on the go as it is of the letter-size format and lightweight. Relax with just ONE COLOR! Very unique and exciting, as well as relaxing!
