Bodily Subjects Essays on Gender and Health, 1800–2000 - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Constant good health is a chimera: the thing we all want, don’t notice when we have it, and mourn when we lose it. Being “healthy” is also something that women and men “do” in different ways. 1 The authors in Bodily Subjects all explore the historical entanglement between gender and health to expose how women and men “did” health in a variety of locations, from the nineteenth-century English Poor Law Union of Stourbridge, an early twentieth-century Aboriginal reserve in Queensland, Australia, to A I D S activists on the streets of Toronto in the 1990s. Our volume takes as its subject how gender is integral to the understanding of health and the way its meaning is embedded in cul- tural contexts connected to place and time. Our title reflects the way in which the body is both a subject of inquiry and a phenomenological experience. There is no “I” without a body and that body, Foucault has argued, is subject to regimes of power. 2 The title, Bodily Subjects, then, should be read in two ways. First, it re- fers to the embodied meanings of health for men and women and how these have expanded over time, from an able body signifying health in the nineteenth century to concepts of “well-being,” a psychological interpretation, which came to dominate health discourse in Western countries by the late twentieth century. Second, it refers to the way in which ill health turns individuals into subjects of the medical gaze. Medical expertise is brought to bear in diagnosing and treating indi- viduals in ways that are seen through the lens of gender
Construction Management JumpStart The Best First Step Toward a Career in Construction Management (3rd Edition) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Introduction Congratulations! You are about to embark on an adventure. This book is about the processes, the people, and the practices that we call construction management—a term and a profession that may be unfamiliar to many people. Construction, as most individuals understand it, is an activity or a series of activities that involves some craftspeople, building materials, tools, and equip- ment. But you will learn that there is a great deal more to it than that. If you think that construction is all about brawn and not much about brains, then you probably haven’t been paying very close attention to what has been going on in the built environment in the past several decades. Buildings today can be very complicated, and the building process has become extremely demanding. It takes savvy professional talent to orchestrate all of the means and methods needed to accomplish the building challenge. This book’s focus is not on construction per se. Its focus is on the construction process and those individuals who manage that process. Construction manage- ment involves the organization, coordination, and strategic effort applied to the construction activities and the numerous resources needed to achieve the building objective. Construction management combines both the art and science of building technology along with the essential principles of business, management, computer technology, and leadership. Construction management as a profession is a relatively new concept, which may explain why you have not heard of it before. Up until the 1960s, the management tasks associated with large construction projects were typically handled by civil engineers. But in 1965, faculty from nine universities gathered in Florida to form the Associated Schools of Construction. What started as a movement to upgrade the status of construction education at universities evolved into a standardized construction management curriculum leading to an exciting new career choice, one for which there was increasing demand. Men and women who love the idea of transforming a lifeless set of plans and specifications into something real—a single-family home, a high-rise office building, a biotech facility, a super highway, or a magnificent suspension bridge—had found an educational program that provided both the academic course work and the practical management tools needed to plan, organize, and coordinate the increas- ingly complex construction process. If you are one of the many individuals who desire the intellectual challenges of architecture, engineering, technology, and business, yet long to be outside in the thick of things, getting your hands dirty and ultimately producing a tangible result—something of lasting value—then construction management might just be the ticket for you
Iron Oxides by Damien Faivre - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As the name of the book “Iron oxides: from nature to applications” suggests, iron oxides are not only widespread in the environment, but also widely used by mankind in a variety of applications (Figure 1.1). Both this ubiquitous presence in nature and the utilization as tools have been established for cen- turies and are still valid today. The first illustrative examples of iron oxides certainly are compass needle or rust (Figure 1.2). Iron oxides are present in solid, liquid, and gaseous environments, with respective examples such as rocks, as mineral inclusion in swimming bacteria or in aerosols. Depending on the type of use, several sources of iron oxides exist. Applications range from the heavy steel production to medicine and art. The different aspects of mineral formation and their use as well as modern characterization techniques are reviewed in this book
Create Stunning AI Art Using Craiyon, DALL-E and Midjourney: A Guide to Generated Art for Everyone - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When I decided to write this book, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. At first, it was going to be a 5000-or-so word book, and it was just going to be a little primer about Craiyon, or “Dall-E mini”, as it was called at the time. Craiyon is a generative art artificial intelligence program and, since you’ve picked up this book, you probably already know what it does. However, I will allow for the following possibilities: 1. This book was a present, which is good, because at least you didn’t get socks 2. You only bought it to impress the hot, artistically-inclined hottie that’s hawt at school. The good news? You just put food on my table. The bad news? It’s not going to work. If any of the above are the case, let me bring you up to speed: Craiyon, and other similar AI art generation programs will let you enter a text prompt (tip: get used to the word “prompt”) and then create an image based on that text prompt. For example, you could ask for “a frog eating a bagel in a pond on Titan, edward hopper style” and the AI would do its best to return a picture that’s relevant to your prompt. Of course, this being AI, the results could end up being hilariously bad, but that’s also part of the fun. As any decent fellow writing a book about any subject would do, I went ahead and did my research on the matter, and while trying to find alternatives to Craiyon, I came upon DALL-E, which was (and still is, at the time of writing) in invite-only beta. I also discovered what would probably end up being my wife, if it was human and could cook creamy risotto, and I wasn’t already married: Midjourney. Of course, there are many more out there, often with their own twist on the formula. Nightcafe will actually let you print your creations and have them mailed to your address, while StarryAI will let you generate NFTs right then and there. Stable Diffusion is another big contender that I’ll be following with much interest. I have used most of them (for you, dear reader) and I can tell you that DALL-E and Midjourney beat the alternatives (with the exception of Stable Diffusion) into a pulp and use it to fertilize their plants, while Craiyon often returns such ingenious results that is definitely worth keeping around. After using the plethora of newfangled AI tools that suddenly sprang up on the web, I know that writing a book only about Craiyon was no longer an option. This book had to become the bible of AI- generated art books, or I had failed. Of course, it also had to be shipped in a reasonable amount of time, so I released it in a form that I consider to be finished, but far from complete. This means that content will be added to this book very regularly, and you’ll be able to download the updated version to your device any time you wish. At the time of writing, the book has already seen two updates, and many more are coming as this is a vibrant, active field in its early days, and that requires constant attention and revisions.
Structured Fluids: Polymers, Colloids, Surfactants - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Over the last thirty years, the study of liquids containing polymers, surfactants, or colloidal particles has developed from a loose assembly of facts into a coherent discipline with substantial predictive power. These liquids expand our conception of what condensed matter can do. Such structured-fluid phenomena dominate the physical environment within living cells. This book teaches how to think of these fluids from a unified point of view showing the far-reaching effects of thermal fluctuations in producing forces and motions. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, the book seeks the simplest explanations that account for the distinctive scaling properties of these fluids. An example is the growth of viscosity of a polymer solution as the cube of the molecular weight of the constituent polymers. Another is the hydrodynamic radius of a colloidal aggregate, which remains comparable to its geometrical radius even though the density of particles in the aggregate becomes arbitrarily small. The book aims for a simplicity, unity and depth not found in previous treatments, and includes numerous figures, tables and problems. It will be an ideal textbook for teaching undergraduates in physical science how to understand soft matter, but will also be of interest to industrial scientists, who want to gain a broader understanding of soft matter systems

It covers the fundamentals of colloid and interface science, placing emphasis on concentrated systems and the ideas associated with them. Takes a user-friendly, non-mathematical approach Includes the widely used techniques such as rheology in greater depth than other introductory texts Gives many practical examples of colloid and interface science Provides guidance on how to apply new ideas to a number of different systems
Liquid Crystalline Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As we know, there are three basic states of matter, solid, liquid, and gaseous states. These states of matter can be transformed into each other at appropriate conditions. In the solid state (generally meaning the crystalline state), the building blocks, such as atoms, or molecules, or clusters of molecules are packed closely and regularly, forming a crystal lattice. The X-ray diffraction of the state shows many regular diffraction spots. Over 95% of matter on the earth exist in the form of the crystalline state. The types of crystal structure are enormous. The physical properties of crystals are basically anisotropic. The crystals have a constant melting temperature (except for amorphous solids).
Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Natural and synthetic water soluble polymers are used in a wide range of familiar industrial and consumer products, including coatings and inks, papers, adhesives, cosmetics and personal care products. They perform a variety of functions without which these products would be significantly more expensive, less effective or both.Written for research, development and formulation chemists, technologists and engineers at graduate level and beyond in the fine and specialty chemicals, polymers, food and pharmaceutical industries, the Handbook of Industrial Water Soluble Polymers deals specifically with the functional properties of both natural and synthetic water soluble polymers. By taking a function based approach, rather than a "polymer specific" approach the book illustrates how polymer structure leads to effect, and shows how different polymer types can be employed to achieve appropriate product properties.
Successful Stock Signals for Traders and Portfolio Managers: Integrating Technical Analysis with Fundamentals to Improve Performance + Website - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Relative strength performance versus the Standard & Poors (S&P) 500 Index is the key to analyzing any large-cap (capitalization) stock, and is revealing when viewed in Exhibit 1.3. In this chapter, we will exploit the easiest and most powerful examples of technical analysis signals that tracked the demand that took Apple price up so dramatically. Relative strength is simply the comparison of a stock’s price movement to the price movement of the index. This is a simple, straight forward arithmetic ratio. It is then plotted and shown in Exhibit 1.3 as “AAPL: $SPX.” Notice the uptrend in the line created when the stock price is doing better than the index. As long as this line is in an uptrend, it classifies the stock as one that is outperforming the index. The trend line is calculated as a 20-week EMA. If you want to outperform the index this is the signal to watch.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
