TypeScript, another name for JavaScript, was developed to enhance web applications. JavaScript, an object-based scripting language, was developed by Netscape in 1995. There is a sizable development community for it, and the language is open. Then, in 2012, Microsoft produced the object-oriented language TypeScript. It contains both linguistic and tool components and is a superset of JavaScript. It’s optional static typing, which may help catch problems as they happen, enabling large team collaborations.

A Historical and Theoretical Guide to Studying Religion


Free Download A Historical and Theoretical Guide to Studying Religion by Wesley Kort
English | January 16, 2024 | ISBN: 1839990546 | 184 pages | PDF | 1.17 Mb
This book, a guide to studying religion, has two parts. The first or historical part traces the rise of the academic study of religion from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Primary attention is given to the relation of studying religion to Romanticism and to its contrary relations to principal characteristics of Western modernity, especially its rational and materialist emphases. The second part of the book addresses matters that present uncertainties, problems, and even tensions within the field, such as, what is or should be meant by referring to some persons or groups as religious, why religion is so often a cause of tensions and even conflicts both within and between religious groups and between them and the increasingly nonreligious or secular quality of modern Western culture, and the problem that arises for the field by reason of scholars who, on one side, are themselves religious and who, on the other side, are nonreligious or secular. The book places this final difficulty, the difference and often the tension between religious and nonreligious approaches to the study of religion, in the role of a unifying theme of the book and offers a way by which this problem can be addressed and to a considerable degree reduced.

The Modelling of Microstructure and its Potential for Studying Transport Properties and Durability


Free Download The Modelling of Microstructure and its Potential for Studying Transport Properties and Durability By G. M. Idorn (auth.), Hamlin Jennings, Jörg Kropp, Karen Scrivener (eds.)
1996 | 558 Pages | ISBN: 9048146534 | PDF | 20 MB
From July 10th through July 13th, 1994, an informal workshop co-organized by RILEM committees 116-PCD and 123-MME was held at Saint-Remy-Ies Chevreuse, France, and attended by 38 delegates from 16 countries. Twenty-nine papers were presented, converging the general subjects of modelling micro structures and predicting durability of concrete and other cement-based materials. A short summary follows: G. M. Idom’s paper entitled "Modelling Research for Concrete Engineering" serves as an introduction to the workshop, presenting an overview of modelling research with the conelusion that the broad practica1 objective is to produce high-quality concrete. This means that many characteristics, ranging from rheology to alkali-silica reaction, must be modelled. In other words, the system must be understood. Idom’s paper sets the stage for papers in two general areas: 1) models and 2) transport properties. After this, abrief survey of the develop ment of microstructurally-based models is presented. A elose relationship between computer power and speed is suggested. The first group of papers on models covers the subjects of scale and resolution. Most models define and predict characteristics of the pore system, which range in scale from nanometer to millimeter. Various types ofnetworks are proposed in these papers. A good microstructural model must describe the pores and other phases at ascale appropriate to the properties that the model predicts. Also, a good model should be based on fundamental knowledge. In the case of cement-based materials, the important properties may depend on the microstructure, especially the porosity, at several scales.

1996 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 3540608699 | PDF | 8 MB
It is now generally agreed that a deeper understanding of biological processes requires a multi-disciplinary approach employing the tools of biology, chemistry, and physics. Such understanding involves study of biomacromolecules and their functions, which includes how they interact, their reactions, and how information is transmitted between them. This volume is devoted to quantum mechanical simulation techniques, which have developed rapidly in recent years. It covers quantum mechanical calculations of large systems, molecular dynamics combining quantum and classical algorithms, quantum dynamical simulations, and electron and proton transfer processes in proteins and in solutions.

Studying Ethnic Minority and Economically Disadvantaged Populations Methodological Challenges and Best Practices


Free Download George P Knight, "Studying Ethnic Minority and Economically Disadvantaged Populations: Methodological Challenges and Best Practices"
English | ISBN: 1433804743 | 2009 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Ethnic minority and economically disadvantaged populations have been historically underrepresented in social science research, and despite improvements in recent years, this trend continues today. Given the rapidly changing demographics of the United States, there is an acute need for more targeted research on these populations, which requires an understanding of diversity and a more nuanced understanding of human behavior and outcomes. Unfortunately, there is a relative dearth of information in standard research texts regarding the unique methodological challenges associated with conducting research with these populations. George P. Knight, Mark W. Roosa, and Adriana J. Uma a-Taylor have filled that gap with a book that identifies strategies for overcoming the obstacles social scientists routinely face in these situations. In this volume, the authors: Discuss strategies for resolving typical problems in sampling, recruitment and retention; Address ethical issues associated with researching these populations; Examine issues associated with measurement and the importance of measurement equivalence; Describe potential linguistic problems with translated measures and provide solutions to maintain the credibility of scientific inferences based on those measures, and; Present strategies for adapting previously published preventive interventions for use with ethnic minority and low-income populations. Throughout, the authors combine firsthand experience with a thorough and incisive understanding of the literature. The result is a vital, comprehensive resource that will be a great help for students and experienced researchers alike.

Music In Video Games Studying Play


Free Download K.J. Donnelly, "Music In Video Games: Studying Play "
English | ISBN: 041563444X | 2014 | 246 pages | EPUB, PDF | 22 MB + 6 MB
From its earliest days as little more than a series of monophonic outbursts to its current-day scores that can rival major symphonic film scores, video game music has gone through its own particular set of stylistic and functional metamorphoses while both borrowing and recontextualizing the earlier models from which it borrows. With topics ranging from early classics like Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. to more recent hits like Plants vs. Zombies, the eleven essays in Music in Video Games draw on the scholarly fields of musicology and music theory, film theory, and game studies, to investigate the history, function, style, and conventions of video game music.
