Download or read book The Dynamics of Terminology written by Ky? Kageura and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of rules for the systematicity and dynamics of terminology creations is essential for a sound basis of a theory of terminology. This quest provides the driving force for The Dynamics of Terminology in which Dr. Kageura demonstrates the interaction of these two factors on a specific corpus of Japanese terminology which, beyond the necessary linguistic circumstances, also has a model character for similar studies. His detailed examination of the relationships between terms and their constituent elements, the relationships among the constituent elements and the type of conceptual combinations used in the construction of the terminology permits deep insights into the systematic thought processes underlying term creation. To compensate for the inherent limitation of a purely descriptive analysis of conceptual patterns, Dr. Kageura offers a quantitative analysis of the patterns of the growth of terminology. His fascinating and unique contribution to our understanding of the terminological process reveals the powerful interaction of linguistic possibilities and the naming process of conceptual entities.

Book excerpt: Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism, delivered to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and boundaries of success. Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Kim Scott Malone has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the reader, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work, their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.
Download or read book High Accuracy Non centered Compact Difference Schemes for Fluid Dynamics Applications written by A. I. Tolstykh and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book which describes completely the nontraditional difference schemes which combine the ideas of Pad-type approximation and upwind differencing. These possess some favorable properties and can be used to solve various problems in fluid dynamics and related disciplines. They were proposed by the author in the seventies and are extensively used in Russia. However, they seem to be relatively unknown outside the country. In this book, the author presents the theory of the schemes, to provide some sophisticated algorithms for different computational fluid dynamics problems, to supply readers with useful information which would permit them to construct a rich variety of algorithms of this type and to illustrate the applications of these methods to the numerical simulation of various fluid dynamics phenomena, ranging from supersonic viscous flows to some atmosphere and ocean processes. This book is an essential guide for anyone keenly interested in this field.

Download or read book Choreographing Difference written by Ann Cooper Albright and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choreographies of Bill T. Jones, Cleveland Ballet Dancing Wheels, Zab Maboungou, David Dorfman, Marie Chouinard, Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, and others, have helped establish dance as a crucial discourse of the 90s. These dancers, Ann Cooper Albright argues, are asking the audience to see the body as a source of cultural identity — a physical presence that moves with and through its gendered, racial, and social meanings. Through her articulate and nuanced analysis of contemporary choreography, Albright shows how the dancing body shifts conventions of representation and provides a critical example of the dialectical relationship between cultures and the bodies that inhabit them. As a dancer, feminist, and philosopher, Albright turns to the material experience of bodies, not just the body as a figure or metaphor, to understand how cultural representation becomes embedded in the body. In arguing for the intelligence of bodies, Choreographing Difference is itself a testimonial, giving voice to some important political, moral, and artistic questions of our time.

Download or read book A Comparison Between Tracking with optimum Dynamics and Tracking with a Simple Velocity Control written by George G. Frost and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was undertaken to verify the "optimum" control dynamics reported in WADC TR 59-712 and to lend experimental validation to the method in which they were derived. A simple two group experiment was performed to compare tracking performance on a single axis tracking task using the "optimum" dynamics with tracking performance using a simple integrator (rate control). No significant difference was found in either learning rate or in tracking ability aft task was learned. A second experiment using the same experimental design requiring two-axis tracking was conducted to test the hypothesis that differences would appear only when the subjects were more heavily task-loaded. The 'optimum' dynamics produced reliably better performance than the rate control in the two axis task. This result supplied experimental validation for the predictions made using the human transfer and reported in WADC TR 59-712.
