The Turtles of Mexico Land and Freshwater Forms


Free Download John M. Legler, "The Turtles of Mexico: Land and Freshwater Forms"
English | ISBN: 0520268601 | 2013 | 416 pages | EPUB | 41 MB
The Turtles of Mexico is the first comprehensive guide to the biology, ecology, evolution, and distribution of more than fifty freshwater and terrestrial turtle taxa found in Mexico. Legler and Vogt draw on more than fifty years of fieldwork to elucidate the natural history of these species. The volume includes an extensive introduction to turtle anatomy, taxonomy, phylogeny, biogeography, and physiology. A key to the turtles of Mexico is included along with individual species accounts featuring geographic distribution maps and detailed color illustrations. Specific topics discussed for each species include habitat, diet, feeding behavior, reproduction, predators, parasites, growth and ontogeny, sexual dimorphism, growth rings, economic use, conservation, legal protection, and taxonomic studies.

Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C#


Free Download Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C# By Matthew MacDonald (auth.)
2006 | 1080 Pages | ISBN: 1590594398 | PDF | 10 MB
Renowned author Matthew MacDonald combines careful treatment of the API with detailed user-interface design principles. Further, this book incorporates C# and the final beta of .NET 2.0. The result: thorough coverage of Windows Forms and GDI+ namespaces for .NET programmers! You will become equipped to design state-of-the-art Windows interfaces and program graphics, and learn how to create your own controls. As a developer, you must know more than just how to add a control to a window. You must be able to create an entire user interface framework that’s scalable, flexible, and reusable. This book is not a reference manual. Instead, it contains detailed discussions about user interface elements that you’ll use on a regular basis.

Fluxus Forms Scores, Multiples, and the Eternal Network


Free Download Fluxus Forms: Scores, Multiples, and the Eternal Network by Natilee Harren
English | March 4, 2020 | ISBN: 022635492X | True EPUB | 304 pages | 14.4 MB
"PURGE the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art. . . . Promote living art, anti-art, promote NON ART REALITY to be grasped by all peoples," writes artist George Maciunas in his Fluxus manifesto of 1963. Reacting against an elitist art world enthralled by modernist aesthetics, Fluxus encouraged playfulness, chance, irreverence, and viewer participation. The diverse collective-including George Brecht, Robert Filliou, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, and Robert Watts-embraced humble objects and everyday gestures as critical means of finding freedom and excitement beyond traditional forms of art-making.

Modular Forms and String Theory


Free Download Eric D’Hoker, "Modular Forms and String Theory"
English | ISBN: 1009457535 | 2024 | 500 pages | PDF | 15 MB
An indispensable resource for readers in physics and mathematics seeking a solid grasp of the mathematical tools shaping modern theoretical physics, this book comprises a practical introduction to the mathematical theory of modular forms and their application to the physics of string theory and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Suitable for adventurous undergraduates, motivated graduate students, and researchers wishing to navigate the intersection of cutting-edge research in physics and mathematics, it guides readers from the theory of elliptic functions to the fascinating mathematical world of modular forms, congruence subgroups, Hecke theory, and more. Having established a solid basis, the book proceeds to numerous applications in physics, with only minimal prior knowledge assumed. Appendices review foundational topics, making the text accessible to a broad audience, along with exercises and detailed solutions that provide opportunities for practice. After working through the book, readers will be equipped to carry out research in the field.

Bilinear Forms and Zonal Polynomials


Free Download Bilinear Forms and Zonal Polynomials By A. M. Mathai, Serge B. Provost, Takesi Hayakawa (auth.)
1995 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0387945229 | PDF | 12 MB
The book deals with bilinear forms in real random vectors and their generalizations as well as zonal polynomials and their applications in handling generalized quadratic and bilinear forms. The book is mostly self-contained. It starts from basic principles and brings the readers to the current research level in these areas. It is developed with detailed proofs and illustrative examples for easy readability and self-study. Several exercises are proposed at the end of the chapters. The complicated topic of zonal polynomials is explained in detail in this book. The book concentrates on the theoretical developments in all the topics covered. Some applications are pointed out but no detailed application to any particular field is attempted. This book can be used as a textbook for a one-semester graduate course on quadratic and bilinear forms and/or on zonal polynomials. It is hoped that this book will be a valuable reference source for graduate students and research workers in the areas of mathematical statistics, quadratic and bilinear forms and their generalizations, zonal polynomials, invariant polynomials and related topics, and will benefit statisticians, mathematicians and other theoretical and applied scientists who use any of the above topics in their areas. Chapter 1 gives the preliminaries needed in later chapters, including some Jacobians of matrix transformations. Chapter 2 is devoted to bilinear forms in Gaussian real ran dom vectors, their properties, and techniques specially developed to deal with bilinear forms where the standard methods for handling quadratic forms become complicated.
