Julio Samso
Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: This new volume of papers by Julio Samso deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus, the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi`s and al-Battani`s tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti, the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/Azarquiel`s theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna` and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi, Ibn al-Shatir, Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and, towards the beginning of the 17th century, a translation of Abraham Zacut and Jose Vizinho`s `Almanach Perpetuum` (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world, from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves, the author also deals with… [detailed...]

Enoch Callaway
Asylum: A Mid-Century Madhouse and Its Lessons about Our Mentally Ill Today

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: In his witty and warm history of Worcester State Hospital, founded in 1833 as the first state insane asylum established in this nation, Dr. Enoch Callaway reflects not just on the events in this fortress-like place, but also on how those events parallel advances and failures in the field of psychiatry itself. In addition to patient/psychiatrist vignettes showing treatment techniques of the period-from farm work to early electric shock therapy and insulin treatments that put schizophrenics in a 90-minute coma-Callaway also offers sharp insight into `natural` treatments that showed remarkable results and unexpected recoveries stimulated by tools as simple as a hand mirror. At times, Worcester may seem brutal, at other times its simplicity seems pure and caring. There are marvelous successes, and times when the facility seems no more than a warehouse for the mentally ill. Callaway argues that this history offers lessons about the treatment-and options for better treatment-of the mentally… [detailed...]

Description: `Payne is a visual poet as well as an architect by training, and he has spent years finding and photographing these buildings—often the pride of their local communities and a powerful symbol of humane caring for those less fortunate. His photographs are beautiful images in their own right, and they also pay tribute to a sort of public architecture that no longer exists. They focus both on the monumental and the mundane, the grand facades and the peeling paint.` —Oliver Sacks, Asylum For more than half the nation`s history, vast mental hospitals were a prominent feature of the American landscape. From the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth, over 250 institutions for the insane were built throughout the United States, by 1948, they housed more than a half million patients. The blueprint for these hospitals was set by Pennsylvania hospital superintendant Thomas Story Kirkbride: a central administration building flanked symmetrically by pavilions and surrounded by lavish… [detailed...]

T. V. Paul
Asymmetric Conflicts: War Initiation by Weaker Powers

1994 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: This book examines a question generally neglected in the study of international relations: why does a militarily and economically less powerful state initiate war against a relatively strong state? T.V.Paul analyzes this phenomenon by focusing on the strategic and political considerations, domestic and international, which influence a weaker state to launch war against a more powerful adversary. The key argument of deterrence theory is that the military superiority of the status quo -power, coupled with a credible retaliatory threat, will prevent attack by challengers. The author challenges this position by examining six twentieth-century asymmetric wars: the Japanese offensive against Russia in 1904, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Chinese intervention in Korea in 1950, the Pakistani offensive in Kashmir in 1965, the Egyptian offensive in the Sinai in 1973, and the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982. The book`s findings have wide implications for the… [detailed...]

Asymptote: Flux

2002 y.
Publisher: Phaidon Press
Description: `Asymptote`, an award-winning New York City-based architectural firm, expands the boundaries of traditional practice with work that ranges from buildings and urban design to computer-generated environments. Recognized internationally as both cutting-edge architects and virtual-reality artists, Asymptote partners Lise Anne Couture and Hani Rashid have designed and written the first book to document their `real world` (as opposed to virtual) projects completed since 1995. It includes work as diverse as a trading floor for the New York Stock Exchange, a multimedia research park in Kyoto, Japan, a modular furniture system for Knoll, and a centre for art and technology for the Guggenheim Museum in Soho, New York. Rashid and Couture`s work is intriguing because it draws inspiration from a wide range of sources not traditionally associated with architecture - among them the design of airline interiors, sporting equipment, and organic systems like seashells and honeycombs, and various… [detailed...]

Asymptotic Theory for Econometricians : Revised Edition (Economic Theory, Econometrics, &, Mathematical Economics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides the tools and concepts necessary to study the behavior of econometric estimators and test statistics in large samples. An econometric estimator is a solution to an optimization problem, that is, a problem that requires a body of techniques to determine a specific solution in a defined set of possible alternatives that best satisfies a selected object function or set of constraints. Thus, this highly mathematical book investigates situations concerning large numbers, in which the assumptions of the classical linear model fail. Economists, of course, face these situations often. Key Features * Completely revised Chapter Seven on functional central limit theory and its applications, specifically unit root regression, spurious regression, and regression with cointegrated processes * Updated material on: * Central limit theory * Asymptotically efficient instrumental variables estimation * Estimation of asymptotic covariance matrices * Efficient… [detailed...]

Asynchronous Sequential Machine Design and Analysis: A Comprehensive Development of the Design and Analysis of Clock-Independent State Machines and Systems … Lectures on Digital Circuits &, Systems)

Publisher: —
Description: Asynchronous Sequential Machine Design and Analysis provides a lucid, in-depth treatment of asynchronous state machine design and analysis presented in two parts: Part I on the background fundamentals related to asynchronous sequential logic circuits generally, and Part II on self-timed systems, high-performance asynchronous programmable sequencers, and arbiters. Part I provides a detailed review of the background fundamentals for the design and analysis of asynchronous finite state machines (FSMs). Included are the basic models, use of fully documented state diagrams, and the design and characteristics of basic memory cells and Muller C-elements. Simple FSMs using C-elements illustrate the design process. The detection and elimination of timing defects in asynchronous FSMs are covered in detail. This is followed by the array algebraic approach to the design of single-transition-time machines and use of CAD software for that purpose, one-hot asynchronous FSMs, and pulse mode FSMs….
