Latent Curve Models: A Structural Equation Perspective (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)
Wiley-Interscience | ISSN: 047145592X | 2005-12-23 | PDF | 312 Pages | 6,6 Mb

This volume represents a comprehensive treatment of a model sometimes referred to as latent curve or growth curve models. Latent Curve Models analyzes LTMs from the perspective of structural equation modeling (SEM) with latent variables. Although the authors discuss simple regression-based procedures that are helpful in the early stages of LTM, most of the presentation will use SEMs as a driving tool throughout the text.

Interpretations of Renaissance Humanism

Angelo Mazzocco “Interpretations of Renaissance Humanism"
Brill Academic Publishers | 2006-07-01 | ISBN: 900415244X | 324 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB

Authored by some of the most preeminent Renaissance scholars active today, the essays of this volume give fresh and illuminating analyses of important aspects of Renaissance humanism, such as the time and causes of its origin, its connection to the papal court and medieval traditions, its classical learning, its religious and literary dimensions, and its dramatis personae. Their interpretations are varied to the point of being contradictory. The essays bear the imprint of the work of the eminent scholars of the second half of the twentieth century, especially Kristeller’s, and demonstrate an awareness of the various modes of critical inquiry that have prevailed in recent years. As such they are an important exemplar of current scholarship on Renaissance humanism and are, therefore, indispensable to the scholar who wishes to explore this pivotal cultural movement.]]> free book city Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:24:51 +0330 Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Sound and Vibration Engineers http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/09/23/fundamentals-of-signal-processing-for.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/09/23/fundamentals-of-signal-processing-for.html

Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Sound and Vibration Engineers

Fundamentals of Signal Processing for Sound and Vibration Engineers is based on Joe Hammond’s many years of teaching experience at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton. Whilst the applications presented emphasise sound and vibration, the book focusses on the basic essentials of signal processing that ensures its appeal as a reference text to students and practitioners in all areas of mechanical, automotive, aerospace and civil engineering.]]> free book city Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:24:17 +0330 Hazardous Chemicals Handbook, 2nd Edition http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/08/24/hazardous-chemicals-handbook-2nd-edition.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/08/24/hazardous-chemicals-handbook-2nd-edition.html

What Can Nanotechnology Learn From Biotechnology?

Kenneth David, Paul B. Thompson "What Can Nanotechnology Learn From Biotechnology?"
Academic Press | 2008-02-25 | ISBN: 012373990X | 360 pages | PDF | 1 MB

What Can Nanotechnology Learn From Biotechnology? presents diverse perspectives on biotechnology and nanotechnologies. Avoiding extreme perspectivesunwarranted hype and absolute rejectionthis book explores the diverse territory of proponents and opponents of challenging but potentially risky technologies. Contributions from recognized experts in their fields represent the perspectives of a diverse range of stakeholders.
This book details the lessons to be learned from the controversy over genetically modified foods, and how those lessons can be applied to developing nanotechnologies, particularly agricultural and other food-related applications. Exploring the environmental, social and ethical impact of nanotechnology in addition to the technical and economical impacts, it an ideal reference for any scientist, engineer, research program administrator, resource allocator, and NGO advocate.
Key Features:
*Addresses the growing concern over the responsibility of science to the impacted population
*Uses real-world experience to outline practical approaches for emerging technologies
*Addresses the concerns of science as well as social science]]> free book city Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:45:21 +0430 Mathematical Discourse: Language, Symbolism And Visual Images http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/07/02/mathematical-discourse-language.html http://www.freebookcity.com/2008/07/02/mathematical-discourse-language.html

Mathematical Discourse: Language, Symbolism And Visual Images

Kay L. O'Halloran “Mathematical Discourse: Language, Symbolism And Visual Images"
Continuum International Publishing Group | 2005-01-30 | ISBN: 0826468578 | 226 pages | PDF | 11,7 MB

This book develops a theory of mathematics as a multi-semiotic discourse from the perspective of M. A. K. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics. From this perspective mathematical discourse is seen to involve the use of the three semiotic resources of language, visual images and mathematical symbolism. These semiotic resources are considered as functional sign systems which are organised grammatically. O'Halloran suggests that mathematical texts represent specific semiotic choices from the available grammatical systems. From this she articulates the ways in which a social semiotic perspective can inform mathematics teaching and learning.

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Condensed Matter Physics

Charles P., Jr. Poole “Encyclopedic Dictionary of Condensed Matter Physics"
Elsevier | 2004-01 | ISBN: 0120883988 | 1636 pages | PDF | 14,3 MB

This volume is a translation and revision of the Original Russian version by Baryahktar. It covers all of the main fields involved in Condensed Matter Physics, such as crystallography, electrical properties, fluids, magnetism, material properties, optics, radiation, semiconductors, and superconductivity, as well as highlights of important related subjects such as quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and statistical mechanics. Both theoretical and experimental aspects of condensed matter are covered in detail.
The entries range from very short paragraphs on topics where definitions are needed, such as Bloch's law, clathrate compound, donor, domain, Kondo lattice, mean free path, and Wigner crystal, to long discussions of more general or more comprehensive topics such as antiferromagnetism, crystal lattice dynamics, dislocations, Fermi surface, Josephson effect, luminescence, magnetic films, phase transitions and semiconductors. The main theoretical approaches to Condensed Matter Physics are explained. There are several long tables on, for example, Bravais lattices, characteristics of magnetic materials, units of physical quantities, symmetry groups. The properties of the main elements of the periodic table are given.
Numerous entries not covered by standard Solid State Physics texts]]> free book city Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:36:05 +0430
