Main-Chain Modification As a Result of Polyolefin Functionalization by Different Techniques


Free Download Rosestela Perera, "Main-Chain Modification As a Result of Polyolefin Functionalization by Different Techniques "
English | ISBN: 1616687819 | 2010 | 65 pages | PDF | 6 MB
When polyolefins are functionalised to modify its chemical structure and polarity, some other secondary reactions take place as well. The grafting of a different monomer onto the main chain of the polymer involves the use of a free radical initiator, such as a peroxide, or irradiation of the sample (gamma rays or ultrasound), that not only provide the free radicals for the grafting but also for main chain modifications. Different reaction processes such as functionalisation in solution, reactive extrusion or irradiation produce different structures. This book deals with modifications of the main chain as a consequence of polyolefin grafting through different techniques, such as functionalisation in solution and reactive extrusion and through polymer irradiation with gamma rays and ultrasound.

Financial Behavior Modification Starter Guide A Simple Guide to Managing Your Finances


Free Download P.A. Williams, "Financial Behavior Modification Starter Guide: A Simple Guide to Managing Your Finances"
English | ASIN : B00LCC12AC | 2014 | 69 pages | EPUB | 658 KB
"Financial Behavior Modification Starter Guide" is a simple guide to managing your finances. The starter guide, which involves making personal changes and assuming personal responsibility for your financial future is a common sense approach to financial independence. This essential starter guide will get you started and will help you develop a well laid plan with behavior changing strategies using the ten principles of Financial Behavior Modification. These principles can be started at any phase in your financial life and if used consistently, can lead to a life time of financial independence. Financial Behavior Modification is a change in personality or attitude based on new information and experience. Financial Behavior Modification is also a technique to improve financial behavior in everyday life. The unpleasant truth is that making a behavioral change is one of the hardest things that we can set out to do. If change was easy and painless, you would see a lot more successful and happy people walking around. Accepting responsibility for your finances will not be easy. However, it will be truly worth it in the end. To achieve financial success, you must first change your behavior. You must make a Financial Behavior Modification. You must also have a financial plan. Governments and corporations (small to large) use some type of financial plan to operate successfully. They use this so that they can track what money is coming in and what money is going out. This essential starter guide will help you to develop a well laid-out plan and behavior changing strategies. Personal finance is more about behavior and less about numbers or math.

Microbiome Modification The Superorganism for Good Health


Free Download Microbiome Modification: The Superorganism for Good Health by Patricia Worby
English | March 6, 2024 | ISBN: 1501522442 | 276 pages | MOBI | 1.82 Mb
This book is designed as a comprehensive guide for healthcare professionals, holistic practitioners, individuals seeking improved health, and anyone interested in a science-based approach to well-being that emphasizes cooperation with nature rather than dominance. It bridges the gap between the physiological and psychological impacts of stress on the microbiome, offering both theoretical insights and practical applications for a healthier future. The book challenges the prevailing narrative of disease and pathology by shifting our understanding towards health. It introduces readers to the awe-inspiring world of the microbiome, revealing that our bodies are not just individual entities, but superorganisms intricately connected to trillions of microbes. These microbes, outnumbering our own cells 10 to 1, create a complex and diverse ecosystem that plays a fundamental role in shaping who we are. The author’s exploration of this new understanding reshapes our perception of humanity, emphasizing that we are no longer just "I" but rather a collective "we." The book underscores the critical importance of nurturing a healthy inner garden for our microbiome to flourish as the primary means to create health.

Quest for Eye Color Modification


Free Download Quest for Eye Color Modification
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031643216 | 287 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 108 MB
This book examines the existing modalities of changing the color of the eye with their limitations. There has been no possible way to change the color of the eye with the "natural looking" result as of today. There have been many years of research and trials due to the immense public desire to be able to change the color of their eyes without success. From topical eye drops and colored contact lenses, to the more aggressive treatments such as laser ablation, corneal tattooing, or even iris implants, all have been tried and failed to achieve a "natural looking" result.

The cosmetic gaze body modification and the construction of beauty


Free Download The cosmetic gaze : body modification and the construction of beauty By Wegenstein, Bernadette
2012 | 226 Pages | ISBN: 0262232677 | PDF | 5 MB
If the gaze can be understood to mark the disjuncture between how we see ourselves and how we want to be seen by others, the cosmetic gaze–in Bernadette Wegenstein’s groundbreaking formulation–is one through which the act of looking at our bodies and those of others is already informed by the techniques, expectations, and strategies (often surgical) of bodily modification. It is, Wegenstein says, also a moralizing gaze, a way of looking at bodies as awaiting both physical and spiritual improvement. In The Cosmetic Gaze, Wegenstein charts this synthesis of outer and inner transformation. Wegenstein shows how the cosmetic gaze underlies the "rebirth" celebrated in today’s makeover culture and how it builds upon a body concept that has collapsed into its mediality. In today’s beauty discourse–on reality TV and Web sites that collect "bad plastic surgery"–we yearn to experience a bettered self that has been reborn from its own flesh and is now itself, like a digitally remastered character in a classic Hollywood movie, immortal. Wegenstein traces the cosmetic gaze from eighteenth-century ideas about physiognomy through television makeover shows and facial-recognition software to cinema–which, like our other screens, never ceases to show us our bodies as they could be, drawing life from the very cosmetic gaze it transmits.

Proximity and Epidata Attributes and Meaning Modification


Free Download Proximity and Epidata: Attributes and Meaning Modification (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services) by Laurie J. Bonnici, Brian C. O’Connor
English | October 27, 2022 | ISBN: 3031170938 | 113 pages | MOBI | 18 Mb
This book provides a new model to explore discoverability and enhance the meaning of information. The authors have coined the term epidata, which includes items and circumstances that impact the expression of the data in a document, but are not part of the ordinary process of retrieval systems. Epidata affords pathways and points to details that cast light on proximities that might otherwise go unknown. In addition, epidata are clues to mis-and dis-information discernment. There are many ways to find needed information; however, finding the most useable information is not an easy task. The book explores the uses of proximity and the concept of epidata that increases the probability of finding functional information. The authors sketch a constellation of proximities, present examples of attempts to accomplish proximity, and provoke a discussion of the role of proximity in the field. In addition, the authors suggest that proximity is a thread between retrieval constructs based on known topics, predictable relations, and types of information seeking that lie outside constructs such as browsing, stumbling, encountering, detective work, art making, and translation.
