Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives. Lynette Jones and Susan Lederman present hand function as a continuum ranging from activities that are essentiallysensory in nature to those that have a strong motor component. They delineate four categories of function along this sensorimotor continuum--tactile sensing, active haptic sensing, prehension, and non-prehensile skilled movements--that they use as a framework for analyzing and synthesizing theresults from a broad range of studies that have contributed to our understanding of how the normal human hand functions.The book begins with a historical overview of research on the hand and a discussion of the hand's evolutionary development in terms of anatomical structure. The subsequent chapters review the research in each of the four categories along the continuum, covering topics such as the intensive spatial,temporal, and thermal sensitivity of the hand, the role of hand movements in recognizing common objects, the control of reaching and grasping movements, and the organization of keyboard skills. Jones and Lederman also examine how sensory and motor function develops in the hand from birth to old age,and how the nature of the end effector (e.g., a single finger or the whole hand) that is used to interact with the environment influences the types of information obtained and the tasks performed. The book closes with an assessment of how basic research on the hand has contributed to an array ofmore applied domains, including communication systems for the blind, haptic interfaces used in teleoperation and virtual-environment applications, tests used to assess hand impairments, and haptic exploration in art. Human Hand Function will be a valuable resource for student and professionalresearchers in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, engineering, human-technology interaction, and physiology.

The Perfect Servant reevaluates the place of eunuchs in Byzantium. Kathryn Ringrose uses the modern concept of gender as a social construct to identify eunuchs as a distinct gender and to illustrate how gender was defined in the Byzantine world. At the same time she explores the changing role of the eunuch in Byzantium from 600 to 1100.Accepted for generations as a legitimate and functional part of Byzantine civilization, eunuchs were prominent in both the imperial court and the church. They were distinctive in physical appearance, dress, and manner and were considered uniquely suited for important roles in Byzantine life. Transcending conventional notions of male and female, eunuchs lived outside of normal patterns of procreation and inheritance and were assigned a unique capacity for mediating across social and spiritual boundaries. This allowed them to perform tasks from which prominent men and women were constrained, making them, in essence, perfect servants.Written with precision and meticulously researched, The Perfect Servant will immediately take its place as a major study on Byzantium and the history of gender.

This text presents a comprehensive treatment of signal processing and linear systems suitable for juniors and seniors in electrical engineering. Based on B. P. Lathi's widely used book, Linear Systems and Signals, it features additional applications to communications, controls, and filtering as well as new chapters on analog and digital filters and digital signal processing. Lathi emphasizes the physical appreciation of concepts rather than the mere mathematical manipulation of symbols. Avoiding the tendency to treat engineering as a branch of applied mathematics, he uses mathematics to enhance physical and intuitive understanding of concepts, instead of employing it only to prove axiomatic theory. Theoretical results are supported by carefully chosen examples and analogies, allowing students to intuitively discover meaning for themselves.

Volume IV presents 20 papers on probability, 17 on combinatorics, and 18 on the teaching and learning of mathematics. P??lya has made a number of fundamental contributions to the first two fields, including perhaps the first use of the term "central limit theorem," but his major influence on mathematics has clearly been his approach to pedagogy. Many of the papers throughout these volumes have a strongly pedagogical flavor, but the papers in the third section of this volume focus squarely on the real business of how to do mathematics - how to formulate a problem and then create a solution.

George P??lya is professor emeritus at Stanford University. These volumes are the twenty-second and twenty-third in the series Mathematicians of Our Time, edited by Gian-Carlo Rota.

Parque Chas 1 y 2
Spanish | 52 Mb + 29,7 Mb | CBR

Por fin digitalizadas las dos partes de Parque Chas, de la dupla Barreiro - Risso

Parque Chas es uno de tantos barrios de Buenos Aires... o quiz??s no lo sea tanto... porque ya desde su dise?±o se diferencia del resto, ya que su forma es la de un signo cabal?­stico, los nombres de sus calles traen reminiscencias de todo el mundo, los taxistas evitan adentrarse en ?©l, no por inseguridad, sino por temor a perderse...
Muchos lectores (no solo europeos) pensaron que este lugar sali?? de la imaginaci??n de Barreiro, sin saber que desde hace al menos 6 d?©cadas Parque Chas ha estado alimentando la fantas?­a de diversos escritores.
Pero vayamos a esta obra.
Todo empieza cuando un escritor busca un departamento al cual mudarse, encuentra un aviso de uno ubicado en Parque Chas, se dirige all?­ y al ser el ??nico solicitante lo obtiene, aunque con una extra?±a condici??n no abrir nunca la ventana. Una petici??n muy extra?±a, que el escritor acepta. Un noche se despierta al escuchar ruidos en la extra?±a ventana, una voz pidiendo ayuda... rompe la condici??n y la ventana. Al despertarse se encuentra con que la due?±a descubri?? lo de la ventana y lo hecha del departamento. Desde ese momento el escritor se vuelve un investigador de Parque Chas, un detective que intenta descubrir los extra?±os sucesos que all?­ se desencadenan y encontrar una explicaci??n. As?­ es como Barreiro da principio a la historia de Parque Chas donde el escritor escuchar?? a cualquiera que tenga una historia sobre el extra?±o barrio de Buenos Aires, historias sobrenaturales donde todo puede pasar.
Durante el trascurso de la serie, cada cap?­tulo contar?? una historia diferente sobre el barrio, pero al avanzar se ir??n dando algunas pistas sobre la due?±a del apartamento, el misterio que tiene a nuestro protagonista en busca de una respuesta, la historia central de la serie. Las dem??s historias ser??n el marco de fondo a partir del cual se ir??n mostrando las extra?±as peculiaridades del barrio y su encanto misterioso, con historias donde se entremezclan diversos g?©neros, desde el misterio y el suspenso hasta la ciencia ficci??n y el terror.
El dibujo est?? a cargo de un (por entonces) casi desconocido Eduardo Risso (100 balas), quien le agrega al gui??n su personal interpretaci??n de personajes y escenarios, logrando atm??sferas impecables.
Lamentablemente, esta versi??n no es de gran calidad, est?? escaneada de las revistas originales (publicadas en Fierro, Ediciones de la Urraca, Buenos Aires, a partir de 1987). La escasa calidad del papel soport?? mal el paso del tiempo, pero vale la pena esta aproximaci??n a la obra.
Las cubiertas de las recopilaciones en libro solo se agregan a t?­tulo ilustrativo (lamentablemente ambas ediciones, a cargo de una librer?­a especializada de Rosario, Argentina, tambi?©n tienen escasa calidad).

” Kurzbeschreibung

Im Kapitalismus wird der Mensch vom Menschen ausgebeutet - im Kommunismus ist es umgekehrt!

Letzterer ist zusammengebrochen, doch damit ist weder das Ende der Geschichte eingel?¤utet, noch die Diskussion um den "besseren Weg" erledigt.

Der neue, aktuell tobende Kampf der Systeme lautet: Amerikanischer Kapitalismus gegen Rheinischen Kapitalismus.

W?¤hrend der amerikanische, auf kurzfristigen Gewinn ausgelegte Neo-Kapitalismus weltweit verhei??t: "Jeder ist seines Gl??ckes Schmied", stimmt der Rheinische Kapitalismus sein eigenes Lied an: "Drink doch ejne mit!".

Und dies keineswegs aus karitativen Erw?¤gungen, sondern aus fester ??berzeugung, denn: Der Umsatz ist langfristig am gr?¶??ten, wenn alle mittrinken!

J??rgen Becker gelingt das Kunstst??ck, aus dieser vordergr??ndig furztrockenen Materie eine feuchtfr?¶hliche Lekt??re zu verfassen, die selbst die unpolitischen Leserinnen und Leser in die Lage versetzen wird, aus der verwirrenden Gemengelage unserer Zeit die wahren Probleme zu erkennen.

J??rgen Becker, geb. 1959 in K?¶ln, Kabarettist und Moderator der "Mitternachtsspitzen" im WDR Fernsehen, Fr??hst??ckspausenchronist auf WDR 2 und Autor zahlreicher B??hnenprogramme, lebt in K?¶ln.

Revered and reviled in almost equal amounts since its inception, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has been responsible for creating and maintaining much of New York and New Jersey's transportation infrastructure -- the things that make the region work. Doig traces the evolution of the Port Authority from the battles leading to its creation in 1921 through its conflicts with the railroads and its expansion to build bridges and tunnels for motor vehicles. Chronicling the adroit maneuvers that led the Port Authority to take control of the region's airports and seaport operations, build the largest bus terminal in the nation, and construct the World Trade Center, Doig reveals the rise to power of one of the world's largest specialized regional governments.

This definitive history of the Port Authority underscores the role of several key players -- Austin Tobin, the obscure lawyer who became Executive Director and a true "power broker" in the bi-state region, Julius Henry Cohen, general counsel of the Port Authority for its first twenty years, and Othmar H. Ammann, the Swiss engineer responsible for the George Washington Bridge, the Bayonne and Goethels bridges, the Outerbridge Crossing, and the Lincoln Tunnel.
Today, with public works projects stalled by community opposition in almost every village and city, the story of how the Port Authority managed to create an empire on the Hudson offers lessons for citizens and politicians everywhere.

The personal trainer to such celebrities as Halle Berry, Christian Slater, and Angela Bassett presents his amazing five-week program for achieving a celebrity body by working out less and eating more.

If you're eating three meals a day, exercising an hour or more a day at the gym, and not getting results, you're eating too little and working out too much.

Pasternak explains how to do this at home or at the gym through detailed instructions and illustrations. He includes recipes and a five-week meal plan for the five meals a day, and each meal takes just five minutes to prepare. Nothing in the recipes requires a trip to a specialty or health food store.

In five weeks, you'll have the celebrity body you've always dreamed of, and it won't have taken much of your time.
