“…Attention is also drawn to differences in attitude towards performing personal body functions outdoors and retreating to the privacy of the bathroom, to traditional bathing ritual and to the modern tropical Spa culture as a manifestation of a New Asian lifestyle. …”

“…The way plants grow and develop organs significantly impacts the overall performance and yield of crop plants. The basic knowledge now available in plant development has the potential to help breeders in generating plants with defined architectural features to improve productivity. …”

“…Initially, MERCOSUR performance has been more than successful, as intra-MERCOSUR trade has increased significantly. …”

“…By collecting contributions on nineteen projects - very diversified for geographic and chronological context, for script and language, and for typology of digital output - this volume intends to point out the methodological issues which are specific to the application of information technologies to epigraphy.The first part of the volume is focused on data modelling and encoding, which are conditioned by the specific features of different scripts and languages, and deeply influence the possibility to perform searches on texts and the approach to the lexicographic study of such under-resourced languages. …”

“…She explores the important mediating role played by choral poetry and ritual in the plays, asserting that Euripides' sacrificial metaphors and ritual performances link an anachronistic mythic ideal with a world dominated by "chance" or an incomprehensible divinity. …”

“…We think that this e-book is an important contribution to the understanding of the efferent system in mammals, merging auditory-cortex literature with studies performed in the olivocochlear system…”

“…The Darwinian exploration was performed by trial and error, but the success in terms of complexity and efficiency is evident. …”

“…The author's analysis of original audio recordings of the speech events (several of which will be available on a companion website) improves our understanding of the spoken, performative dimension of public speeches. While emphasizing the social constructedness of discourse, experience, and identity, Boos does not neglect the pragmatic conditions of aesthetic and intellectual production--most notably, the felt need to respond to the breach in tradition caused by the Holocaust. …”

“…This is a necessary follow-up to the intensive research into the intricacies of logical systems and methodologies performed over the recent years. The present book suggests one such peculiar but very unrestrained methodological perspective over the field of logic and its applications in mathematics, language or computation: games. …”

“…Since an architecture model is useful not only for providing insight into the current or future situation but can also be used to evaluate the transition from ‘as‐is’ to ‘to‐be’, the authors also describe analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance and cost issues. The modelling language presented has been proven in practice in many real‐life case studies and has been adopted by The Open Group as an international standard. …”

“…In the end, you'll understand and perform data science and machine learning tasks beyond the traditional methods and utilize the full spectrum of the Python data science ecosystem to increase productivity…”

“…The real value the authors provide in this guide are insights on how to apply the performance management domains covered in the standard that are in practice today by introducing tools and templates into their discussion. …”

“…You will: Review fundamental human machine interfacing with supervisory control and data acquisition software Examine timing, counting, and serial communication concepts Adapt microcontrollers to perform sophisticated functions Understand collection and presentation of data…”

“…Use Python 3.8+ to read, write, and transform data from a variety of sources Understand and use programming basics in Python to wrangle data at scale Organize, document, and structure your code using best practices Complete exercises either on your own machine or on the web Collect data from structured data files, web pages, and APIs Perform basic statistical analysis to make meaning from data sets Visualize and present data in clear and compelling ways…”

“…Frühneuzeitliche ›Wunderkinder‹ und Fanfiction werden hinsichtlich ihres vergemeinschaftenden Potenzials untersucht, Ästhetiken in Film, Literatur und Mode werden mit Blick auf Strategien der Provokation von Bewunderung analysiert und auf Bewunderung abzielende Praktiken der Selbstinszenierung am Beispiel von Autobiografien und Social-Media-Performances betrachtet. Mit Beiträgen von u.a. Adrian Daub, Philipp Ekardt, Michael Gamper, Julia Fawcett, Sighard Neckel und Anita Traninger…”

“…The concept of hyper-matter is introduced in the lectures of 2019 as requisite for an epistemology that escapes the trap of opposing the material and the ideal in order to respond to the need for a new critique of the notion of information and technological performativity (of which Moore’s law both is and is not an example) in an age when the biosphere has become a technosphere…”

“…The selection of working fluid for a given heat source is crucial; a particular working fluid might be suitable to harvest energy from a 90 °C geothermal well but would show disappointing performance for well with a 80 °C head temperature. …”

“…The content may be of interest to those who perform a wide range of investigations related to coastal analysis and management, especially to researchers and academics who can exploit the provided approaches and methodologies…”

“…In particular, the sensors community has a great interest in novel, intelligent information fusion, and data mining methods coupling AI and ML for substantial performance enhancement, especially for the challenging scenarios that make traditional approaches inappropriate. …”

“…The key contribution of this work are to provide more insights into environmental policy in shipbuilding and its role in innovation activity, as well as to develop a rich dataset focused on IMO policies aimed at encouraging improved environmental performance by ships…”
