Free Download Milissa Deitz, "Watch This Space: The Future of Australian Journalism"
English | 2010 | pages: 162 | ISBN: 0521144280 | PDF | 0,9 mb
With traditional print media sinking under shrinking readerships, redundancies and declining advertising revenue, the imminent death of ‘quality’ journalism is being prophesied by academics, ✅Publishers and journalists. Are we losing a vital public sphere for interrogating those in power and creating local and national communities? Or is a moribund media status quo getting a long overdue shake up? Milissa Deitz argues that far from being the grave digger, the internet is in fact reinventing and reinvigorating ‘citizen journalism’. More democratic through interactivity and participation, more immediately responsive to rapidly changing events and issues, we increasingly go online for our news. Far from undermining traditional journalism, a changing mediascape composed of dedicated online journals, blogs, social networking, twitter and mobile telephony, is returning journalism to its radical and democratic roots, recreating the feisty, informed public domain extinguished over the twentieth century by the concentration of media ownership in Australia.

Free Download Trace Inequalities: For Matrices and Hilbert Space Operators
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819765196 | 341 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 32 MB
This book is a comprehensive and advanced exploration of trace inequalities in the context of matrices and operators acting on Hilbert spaces. Its goal is to present elegant inequalities with innovative proofs. Instead of presenting generalized versions that can be complicated and lack clarity, the book focuses on beautiful and original inequalities. Divided into eight chapters, this book is designed for researchers and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering. It provides detailed explanations for most of the results and includes a variety of exercises and problems to help readers understand the content and inspire further research into advanced topics.

Free Download Betsy M. Bryan, Peter F. Dorman, "Sacred Space and Sacred Function in Ancient Thebes: Occasional Proceedings of the Theban Workshop"
English | 2007 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 1885923465 | PDF | 7,6 mb
This volume presents a series of papers delivered at a two-day session of the Theban Workshop held at the British Museum in September 2003. Due to its political and religious prominence throughout much of pharaonic history, the region of ancient Thebes offers scholars a wealth of monuments whose physical remains and extant iconography may be combined with textual sources and archaeological finds in ways that elucidate the function of sacred space as initially conceived, and which also reveal adaptations to human need or shifts in cultural perception. The contributions herein address issues such as the architectural framing of religious ceremony, the implicit performative responses of officiants, the diachronic study of specific rites, the adaptation of sacred space to different uses through physical, representational, or textual alteration, and the development of ritual landscapes in ancient Thebes.

Free Download Space Robotics: The State of the Art and Future Trends
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031392132 | 572 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 192 MB
This book presents the latest research findings from leading space robotic researchers around the world, together with contributions from leading space systems industrialists on the practical aspects of research and development in space robotics. The book also considers future challenges and trends to provide a ‘look ahead’ for space robotics. The European Commission set up the "Space Robotic Technologies" Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) in its flagship funding programme Horizon 2020, with the goal of enabling major advances in strategic key points of Space Robotics Technologies, in order to improve European competitiveness. Space robotics have advanced rapidly in recent years, as reflected in recent successful space exploration missions like NASA’s successful landing and operation of the Curiosity rover on Mars, and the European Space Agency’s equally successful landing of its Philae probe on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These advances have inspired many young graduates and undergraduates to study space robotics.

Free Download John H. Denis, "Space Exploration Research "
English | ISBN: 1606922645 | 2009 | 561 pages | PDF | 29 MB
Space exploration is an immense and expanding field. The quest for knowledge about space has resulted in hundreds of very important technologies which have been incorporated into society’s fabric including the biomedical field. This book examines a multitude of issues related to space exploration including philosophy, biology, dark energy, space tourism, space station measurements, supernova, and Saturn’s rings.

Free Download James T. Sears, "Rebels, Rubyfruit, and Rhinestones: Queering Space in the Stonewall South"
English | 2001 | pages: 438 | ISBN: 0813529646 | PDF | 2,2 mb
While Scarlett O’Hara may resemble a drag queen, and Mardi Gras inspires more camp than a gay pride parade, the American South also boasts a rich, authentic and transgressive gay and lesbian history. In this chatty, free-ranging cultural survey, Sears (Growing Up Gay in the South) presents a vivid kaleidoscope of the mores and political activities of many gay Southerners following the 1969 Stonewall riots and leading up to the 1979 march on Washington. Sears unspools this history through portraits of activists and community organizers including Merril Mushroom, Jack Nichols, Lige Clark, Vicki Gabriner, Minnie Bruce Pratt and Sgt. Leonard Matlovitch who helped shape the social and political climate below the Mason Dixon line and often in the rest of the country. While giving a nod to historic events like Anita Bryant’s Save Our Children campaign, Sears focuses more closely on obscure but important local political events, like the founding of the lesbian journal Sinister Wisdom, the emergence of the Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance and community response to a deadly firebombing that killed 31 patrons in a New Orleans bar in the mid-1970s. Sears’s multifaceted approach pays off when he sketches such relatively unknown players as comedian Ray Bourbon and radical fairy Faygele ben Miriam, and he conveys well the complexity and intensity of the political activity of the decade. While not as historically conclusive or theoretically astute as John Howard’s masterful Men Like That (2000), Sears provides a panoply of emotionally riveting snapshots that aptly portray Southern gay experience in the 1970s.

Free Download Scott M. Smith, "Nutritional Biochemistry of Space Flight "
English | ISBN: 1607416417 | 2009 | 208 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Besides covering a broad range of issues relating to space nutrition, this book presents the knowledge of nutritional biochemistry of space flight that has resulted from five decades of space life sciences research and operations. It covers research and observational findings on space travelers, as well as ground-based analogue studies with human subjects in such venues as bed rest, closed chambers, Antarctica, and under the sea. This book serves as a historical record of nutrition as related to space flight, specifically to nutrient requirements in a space flight environment. Evidence is reviewed from the first days of human space flight through what may very well be the early days of permanent off-Earth human presence. This information has been scattered in research articles and limited reviews that have been published over the years, in some cases documented only in out-of-publication NASA documents. The book will be of interest to scientists and physicians in many disciplines, including nutrition, physiology, biochemistry, space life sciences, and aerospace medicine. The text is aimed at an upper-undergraduate or graduate-student level of understanding.
