＜p＞This thesis is devoted to ANTARES, the first underwater neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea. As the main scientific analysis, a search for high-energy neutrino emission from the region of the Fermi bubbles has been performed using data from the ANTARES detector. A method for the background estimation using off-zones has been developed specially for this measurement. A new likelihood for the limits calculation which treats both observations in the on-zone and in the off-zone in the similar way and also includes different systematic uncertainties has been constructed. The analysis of 2008?2011 ANTARES data yielded a 1.2 σ excess of events in the Fermi bubble regions, compatible with the no-signal hypothesis. For the optimistic case of no energy cutoff in the flux, the upper limit is within a factor of three of the prediction of the purely hadronic model based on the measured gamma-ray flux. The sensitivity improves as more data are accumulated (more than 65% gain in the sensitivity is expected once 2012?2016 data are added to the analysis).＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】High-Performance D/A-Converters Application to Digital Transceivers【電子書籍】[ Martin Clara ]

＜p＞This book deals with modeling and implementation of high performance, current-steering D/A-converters for digital transceivers in nanometer CMOS technology. In the first part, the fundamental performance limitations of current-steering DACs are discussed. Based on simplified models, closed-form expressions for a number of basic non-ideal effects are derived and tested. With the knowledge of basic performance limits, the converter and system architecture can be optimized in an early design phase, trading off circuit complexity, silicon area and power dissipation for static and dynamic performance. The second part describes four different current-steering DAC designs in standard 130 nm CMOS. The converters have a resolution in the range of 12-14 bits for an analog bandwidth between 2.2 MHz and 50 MHz and sampling rates from 100 MHz to 350 MHz. Dynamic-Element-Matching (DEM) and advanced dynamic current calibration techniques are employed to minimize the required silicon area.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Dixmont State Hospital【電子書籍】[ Mark Benton ]

＜p＞Pittsburgh natives have recognized Dixmont State Hospital by its towering boiler house smokestack that stood prominently along busy Route 65. It has been a topic of curiosity, urban exploration, ghost hunts, and historical research; but prior to its closing in 1984, Dixmont State Hospital stood as a refuge to the mentally ill for three counties in western Pennsylvania. A majestic study in the Kirkbride design of asylum architecture, Dixmont was originally built by the Western Pennsylvania Hospital in 1859 as a private venture before being bought by the commonwealth. It was named for famed mental health care reformer Dorothea Dix, who was instrumental in choosing the hospital?s site?a site chosen for its tranquility and its view of the Ohio River. Dixmont was completely razed in January 2006 to make way for a multi-parcel commercial endeavor. But for those who spent time there, Dixmont was a vibrant community within a community. Through historic photographs, Dixmont State Hospital opens up this world that was off limits to the general public but was alive with festivals, celebrations, and the successful treatment of patients.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞The very things we do to control anxiety can make anxiety worse. This unique guide offers a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based approach to help you recognize the constant chatter of your anxious “monkey mind,” stop feeding anxious thoughts, and find the personal peace you crave.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ancient sages compared the human mind to a monkey: constantly chattering, hopping from branch to branchーendlessly moving from fear to safety. If you are one of the millions of people whose life is affected by anxiety, you are familiar with this process. Unfortunately, you can’t switch off the “monkey mind,” but you ＜em＞can＜/em＞ stop feeding the monkeyーor stop rewarding it by avoiding the things you fear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written by psychotherapist Jennifer Shannon, this book shows you how to stop anxious thoughts from taking over using proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, as well as fun illustrations. By following the exercises in this book, you’ll learn to identify your own anxious thoughts, question those thoughts, and uncover the core fears at play.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Once you stop feeding the monkey, there are no limits to how expansive your life can feel. This book will show you how anxiety can only continue as long as you try to avoid it. And, paradoxically, only by seeking out and confronting the things that make you anxious can you reverse the cycle that keeps your fears alive.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Unknowable, Unspeakable, and Unsprung＜/em＞ delves into the mysteries of scandalous behavior- behavior that can seem shocking, unfathomable, or self-destructive - that is outrageous and offensive on the one hand, yet fascinating and exciting on the other. In the process, this anthology asks fundamental questions about the self: what the self is allowed to be and do, what must be disallowed, and what remains unknown.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Clinicians strive to know their patients’ selves, and their own, as fully as possible, while also facing the inevitable riddles these selves present. Covering topics ranging from trauma, politics, the analyst’s subjectivity, and eating disorders and the body, to self-revelation, secrets, evil, and boundary issues, a distinguished group of authors bring the theory, practice, and application of contemporary psychoanalysis to life. In doing so, they use psychoanalytic perspectives not only to illuminate struggles that afflict patients seeking treatment, but to shed light, more broadly, on contemporary human dilemmas.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This collection offers not a unified voice, but rather the sound of many, each in its own way trying to articulate the indescribable, the unwanted, and the off limits. It is a book that raises more questions than can be answered, complicates as much as clarifies, and contains the essential paradox of trying to talk about aspects of clinical and human experience that can never be fully seen or known. ＜em＞Unknowable, Unspeakable, and Unsprung＜/em＞ offers invaluable reading to interested mental health professionals as well as to anyone intrigued by the secrets of the self.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds The pain-free approach to resetting the nervous system and releasing muscle spasms【電子書籍】[ Gadi Kaufman ]

＜p＞From Neuromuscular Therapist Gadi Kaufman comes the long awaited book about how to relieve back pain using the pain-free approach called Strain Counterstrain Technique.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds, you will learn important information about lower back pain that you have not been told by the previous practitioners. For example, did you know that the majority of lower back pain does not actually originate in the lower back muscles themselves? In other words, when you feel lower back pain, the true source of that pain can often be traced to muscles and joints in the front of the body. Yes, that’s right: those tired and overused muscles in the front of the body can radiate severe pain to the lower back. This lower back pain quickly becomes chronic due to a chain reaction that occurs which limits mobility, twists and torques the spine, rotates the pelvis, and compresses hip sockets on both sides of the body. At the center of this chain reaction is a painful muscle spasm, which means the muscle has essentially shut down and stopped contracting and releasing. If this muscle spasm is left untreated, your lower back pain can persist for years. But now you can do something about it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds, you will learn how to use the passive and pain-free Strain Counterstrain Technique to release persistent muscle spasms and relieve your lower back pain -- in the comfort of your own home, and with no more equipment than your sofa or a chair. This technique is extremely gentle and doesn’t require spinal manipulations or uncomfortable maneuvers or deep tissue massage. You can relieve your pain without harsh medications, and without any additional pain during the process.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds is not another book of exercises and stretching. This technique will manipulate the autonomic nervous system and switch off the muscle spasm (which is being controlled by the nervous system). Relieving this pain is all about the nervous system. If you don’t allow the nervous system to reset, then the spasm will not release. Muscles are dependent on the nervous system.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the author Gadi Kaufman famously says: "The nervous system is the boss! The muscles are the employees!" The step-by-step instructions and illustrations in Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds focus on the specific muscles that are known contributors to lower back pain including: Psoas, Iliacus, Rectus Abdominus, Abdominal Obliques, Quadratus Lumborum, Piriformis, and more. With these 10 positional releases, you can begin to live again without lower back pain, which is something everyone deserves.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】On the Wing Insects, Pterosaurs, Birds, Bats and the Evolution of Animal Flight【電子書籍】[ David E. Alexander ]

＜p＞Ask anybody what superpower they wished to possess and odds are the answer just might be "the ability to fly." What is it about soaring through the air held up by the power of one's own body that has captivated humans for so long? David Alexander examines the evolution of flight in the only four animals to have evolved this ability: insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats. With an accessible writing style grounded in rigorous research, Alexander breaks new ground in a field that has previously been confined to specialists. While birds have received the majority of attention from flight researchers, Alexander pays equal attention to all four groups of flyers-something that no other book on the subject has done before now. In a streamlined and captivating way, David Alexander demonstrates the links between the tiny 2-mm thrip and the enormous albatross with the 12 feet wingspan used to cross oceans. The book delves into the fossil record of flyers enough to satisfy the budding paleontologist, while also pleasing ornithologists and entomologists alike with its treatment of animal behavior, flapping mechanisms, and wing-origin theory. Alexander uses relatable examples to draw in readers even without a natural interest in birds, bees, and bats. He takes something that is so off-limits and unfamiliar to humans-the act of flying-and puts it in the context of experiences that many readers can relate to. Alexander guides readers through the anomalies of the flying world: hovering hummingbirds, unexpected gliders (squirrels, for instance), and the flyers that went extinct (pterosaurs). Alexander also delves into wing-origin theory and explores whether birds entered the skies from the trees down (as gliders) or from the ground up (as runners) and uses the latest fossil evidence to present readers with an answer.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The primary objective of this paper is to present an analysis and a historical review of the Apollo Lunar Module landing dynamics from the standpoint of touchdown dynamic stability, landing system energy absorption performance, and evaluation of the first-order terms of lunar soil mechanical properties at the Apollo 11 landing site. The first-order terms of lunar surface mechanical properties consisted primarily of the surface bearing strength and sliding friction coefficient. The landing dynamic sequence started at first footpad contact. The flight dynamics data used to assess the Apollo 11 landing system performance and the lunar soil mechanical properties included the body axis pitch, roll, and yaw rate time histories as measured by the on-board guidance computer during the Apollo 11 Lunar Module touchdown maneuver, and the landing gear stroke data derived from post-landing photographs.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Lower Previsions【電子書籍】[ Matthias C. M. Troffaes ]

＜p＞This book has two main purposes. On the one hand, it provides a＜br /＞ concise and systematic development of the theory of lower previsions,＜br /＞ based on the concept of acceptability, in spirit of the work of＜br /＞ Williams and Walley. On the other hand, it also extends this theory to＜br /＞ deal with unbounded quantities, which abound in practical＜br /＞ applications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Following Williams, we start out with sets of acceptable gambles. From＜br /＞ those, we derive rationality criteria---avoiding sure loss and＜br /＞ coherence---and inference methods---natural extension---for＜br /＞ (unconditional) lower previsions. We then proceed to study various＜br /＞ aspects of the resulting theory, including the concept of expectation＜br /＞ (linear previsions), limits, vacuous models, classical propositional＜br /＞ logic, lower oscillations, and monotone convergence. We discuss＜br /＞ n-monotonicity for lower previsions, and relate lower previsions with＜br /＞ Choquet integration, belief functions, random sets, possibility＜br /＞ measures, various integrals, symmetry, and representation theorems＜br /＞ based on the Bishop-De Leeuw theorem.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Next, we extend the framework of sets of acceptable gambles to consider＜br /＞ also unbounded quantities. As before, we again derive rationality＜br /＞ criteria and inference methods for lower previsions, this time also＜br /＞ allowing for conditioning. We apply this theory to construct＜br /＞ extensions of lower previsions from bounded random quantities to a＜br /＞ larger set of random quantities, based on ideas borrowed from the＜br /＞ theory of Dunford integration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A first step is to extend a lower prevision to random quantities that＜br /＞ are bounded on the complement of a null set (essentially bounded＜br /＞ random quantities). This extension is achieved by a natural extension＜br /＞ procedure that can be motivated by a rationality axiom stating that＜br /＞ adding null random quantities does not affect acceptability.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a further step, we approximate unbounded random quantities by a＜br /＞ sequences of bounded ones, and, in essence, we identify those for＜br /＞ which the induced lower prevision limit does not depend on the details＜br /＞ of the approximation. We call those random quantities 'previsible'. We＜br /＞ study previsibility by cut sequences, and arrive at a simple＜br /＞ sufficient condition. For the 2-monotone case, we establish a Choquet＜br /＞ integral representation for the extension. For the general case, we＜br /＞ prove that the extension can always be written as an envelope of＜br /＞ Dunford integrals. We end with some examples of the theory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Future Active Media Activism and the Internet【電子書籍】[ Graham Meikle ]

＜p＞The revolution will not be televised. But will it be online instead? When the Internet first took off, we heard a lot about its potential for social change. We heard it would revitalize democracy. We heard it would empower us. We heard we would all be publishers, working together to create a new public sphere. Future Active tests such claims. With fierce intelligence and wit, Graham Meikle takes us behind the digital barricades and into the heart of Internet activist campaigns. In the first in-depth look at this global phenomenon, the author talks to key players in the Indymedia movement and introduces us to the activists behind gwbush.com, the website that provoked the President to declare there ought to be limits to freedom. The founder of Belgrade radio station B92 explains how they used the net to thwart Milosevic's censorship, while McLibel trial defendant Dave Morris talks about the role of the McSpotlight website. And pioneer hacktivists the Electronic Disturbance Theater introduce us to virtual sit-ins and electronic civil disobedience - while US military analysts offer a different perspective on this kind of information warfare. Future Active is an accessible, comprehensive, and supremely readable introduction to the world of online activism. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in how hackers, culture jammers, and media activists have not only incorporated recent technology as a tool for change, but also redefined what counts as activism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞ Hybrid cars are absolutely a breed of their own. They are designed specifically for maximum fuel efficiency and low emissions. Hence, they are car types that not only enable you to cut down on fuel consumption but also allow you to do your part in protecting the environment.＜br /＞ ＜br /＞ There are a lot of hybrid car models out in the market today. In fact, most major car manufacturers have their own original or enhanced version of a hybrid car. Honda, for example has the Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid. Toyota has the Toyota Prius, Toyota Highlander Hybrid or the Toyota Camri Hybrid. Nissan has the Altima Hybrid. Those are just a few of the popular hybrid models. But here you can also see the committed drive of car manufacturers in saving the environment in their quest to constantly develop their hybrid models to adapt to modern needs.＜br /＞ ＜br /＞ Hybrid cars give you better gas mileage by leveraging the power of gasoline and electricity. It captures energy while the car is going and stores it in the batteries for later use. When the hybrid vehicle is at a stop, it can automatically shut off the gasoline engine. Hybrids are also lightweight and lighter vehicles use up less energy. In addition, by lessening the amount of fuel that the car uses up, the hybrid consequentially limits the amount of harmful exhaust emissions given off, thereby causing less pollution to the atmosphere.＜br /＞ ＜br /＞ Whatever the brand and version, there is absolutely one hybrid model that will suit the budget and needs of the selective consumer who wants to go green and make a difference through the car he uses.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Online And Offline Parental Control Valuable Tips For Internet Monitoring And Positive Parenting So You Can Carry Out Responsible Parental Control Which Your Child Can Understand, Value And Feel Grateful For【電子書籍】[ Sheila N. Mattos ]

＜p＞Parents today have double the hassle of taking care of their child. Not only do you keep an eye on them in the real world, now you need to look out for their goings on in the internet world as well. Most parents agree that parental control can be exercised easily offline because then, in the real world, children cannot hide most things and if they do they can be found out and monitored post haste. What scares most parents is the online world. The internet is not only full of mystery, it is vast, its reach is global, which makes monitoring a child’s activity difficult and complicated.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, whether you are exercising parental control online or offline, the key to be a parent that the child can see as someone he/she can respect and obey is to keep the balance between control and concern. Control is seen as restricting and limiting. Most children rebel against this style of parenting. Concern, on the other hand, invokes feelings of regard and worry which children naturally yield to. Psychologists are of the opinion that parents need to learn to make children understand that as minors in their care, parents have the right to be involved in whatever affairs their children get into, this is not because they want to pry but because there might be cause for worry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Parental control ultimately will have its limits. As the child grows, he/she will need to learn to figure things out sensibly. A good parent will teach the child to be resourceful and self-reliant so he/she can make decisions that demonstrate good sense and sound judgment, whether online or offline.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】How To Have Sex If You're Not Human【電子書籍】[ Mary Batten ]

＜p＞Despite all our love songs and romantic fantasies, reproduction is the name of the game in biology. All forms of life are genetically programmed to reproduce. Nothing is off limits so long as it produces babies. Animalsーplants, tooー“do it” in wild, bizarre ways. With both a vagina and a penis, hermaphroditic snails form orgiastic daisy chains. In the ultimate form of togetherness, walking sticks (insects, not skinny people) stay locked in copulo up to 79 days! Some reef fishes change sexーmale to female or vice versa, depending on whether their social structure is headed by a dominant male or a dominant female. Pygmy chimpanzees called bonobos use sex to greet each other: male-male, female-female, male-female, young oldーnothing is off limits to these animals with whom we share 96 percent of our DNA. Among bonobos, sex helps to keep the peace. Plants also have sexual lives but for them, three is not a crowd; it’s a necessity. Plants trick and seduce a variety of animals to do their sexual bidding by carrying the plant’s spermーthe pollenーto fertilize the female part of another blossom. Avocados and orchids, no less than mammals and insects, strive to reproduce.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】GOD IS: A Matter of Fact The Scientific Theory of Supreme Intelligence【電子書籍】[ Marc Watson ]

＜p＞God Is: A Matter of Fact But Why Does the Fact Matter? Why propose the Theory of Fundamental Intelligence or discuss God as a Matter of Fact? Why is the Scientific Study of the existence of God warranted? The answer lies in two alarming biases: Restricted Science and Creation Teaching. Restricted Science. Over the last century there has been a concerted effort to eliminate any discussion of God or any hypothesis regarding Fundamental Intelligence from the Scientific Study of the Universe and the Laws of Nature. Restricted Science limits the study of the Origin of the Universe and Life to a singular belief: it was the result of a random spontaneous, accident. Restricted Science prevents public classroom discussion of a Superior Intelligence in the Universe. The Scientific evidence of a Fundamental Intelligent Being is compelling. Open Scientific Study of all creation concepts is essential if we are to understand the Laws of Nature. Limiting Scientific discussion for any reason is Bad Science. God's existence is a Matter of Fact, and therefore must be open to Scientific Study. Creation Teaching. We Teach Creation in Public Schools every day! Middle and high school Science classes delve into the Origin of the Universe and the Creation and Evolution of Life. Concepts such as the Theory of Everything and the Grand Unified Theory are introduced in an attempt to answer the fundamental questions of Life. Where did we come from and why are we here? However, because of Restricted Science, public classrooms cannot discuss the Theory of Fundamental Intelligence as the Natural Source of the Forces that Drive Life. Ironically, the evidence for such Fundamental Intelligence is overwhelming. Charles Darwin introduced Man's Selection (Intelligent Selection and Intelligent Design) as the basis for his work on Evolution and Natural Selection. Yet we are not allowed to discuss these concepts in public school science classrooms as part of the study of the work in which Darwin introduced this process, The Origin of Species. GOD IS: A Matter of Fact overcomes the barriers of Restricted Science and allows all reasonable theories for the Origin of the Universe and the Creation of Life to be considered in public Scientific Study.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
