Picturing Childhood Youth in Transnational Comics
Mark Heimermann, "Picturing Childhood: Youth in Transnational Comics "
English | ISBN: 1477311610 | 2017 | 280 pages | PDF | 21 MB
Comics and childhood have had a richly intertwined history for nearly a century. From Richard Outcault's Yellow Kid, Winsor McCay's Little Nemo, and Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie to Hergé's Tintin (Belgium), José Escobar's Zipi and Zape (Spain), and Wilhelm Busch's Max and Moritz (Germany), iconic child characters have given both kids and adults not only hours of entertainment but also an important vehicle for exploring children's lives and the sometimes challenging realities that surround them.

Phänomenologie Des Leibes Und Der Leiblichkeit Bei Marc Richir
Phänomenologie Des Leibes Und Der Leiblichkeit Bei Marc Richir
Deutsch | 2023 | ISBN: 3662671891 | 552 Seiten | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird Marc Richirs Projekt einer Neugründung der Phänomenologie untersucht, das unter dem Leitfaden der Spannung des konkreten Leibes und der subjektiven Leiblichkeit als Weltbezüglichkeit das Phänomen als Phänomen in den Blick zu bekommen versucht. Das Selbst fällt für Richir weder mit dem Leib (dem Phänomenologischen) noch mit dem Körper (dem Symbolischen) zusammen. Zwischen beiden Registern besteht ein unvermeidlicher Abstand, der auf den Überschuss der Erfahrung, das Abenteuer der Sinnbildung in ihrer unendlichen Mannigfaltigkeit hindeutet.

Physics of Wetting
Edward Yu. Bormashenko, "Physics of Wetting "
English | ISBN: 3110444801 | 2017 | 229 pages | EPUB, PDF | 24 MB + 4 MB
Motivated by a plethora of phenomena from nature, this textbook introduces into the physics of wetting of surfaces. After a brief discussion of the foundations of surface tension, its exploitation for floating objects on or in liquids is discussed. Furthermore, droplets and capillary effects are discussed and after a brief excursion into cavitation, the basics of dirt-repellent surfaces (lotus effect) are introduced.

Physical Metallurgy Metals, Alloys, Phase Transformations
Zel'dovich, "Physical Metallurgy: Metals, Alloys, Phase Transformations "
English | ISBN: 3110758016 | 2022 | 180 pages | EPUB, PDF | 17 MB + 62 MB
This compact overview on physical metallurgy provides a detailed coverage of phase equilibria and phase transformations in metals and alloys. It presents the broad range of topics from processes of crystallization and diffusion mechanisms to plastic deformations, recrystallization and phase transformations. It presents the microstructures in various alloys, especially in iron alloys and steels. As an introductory work it is valuable to Material Scientists, Students and Engineers.

Physical Chemistry of Polymers A Conceptual Introduction
Sebastian Seiffert, "Physical Chemistry of Polymers: A Conceptual Introduction "
English | ISBN: 3110672804 | 2020 | 200 pages | EPUB, PDF | 9 MB + 4 MB
This book introduces the concepts of physical chemistry of polymers. It provides a basis to bridge polymer chemistry, which targets microscopic chain structures, and polymer engineering, which targets macroscopic material properties and functions. Topics covered are single chain statistics, multi-chain interactions, and chain dynamics, both from a viewpoint of structure, properties (mostly mechanical ones), and their interrelation. In all that, the author encourages the reader to think conceptually.

Physical Activity and Pandemics
Physical Activity and Pandemics: Lessons Learned from Covid-19
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819918014 | 87 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 10 MB
The pandemic of COVID-19 has caused public health-related, and economic consequences regarding lifestyles. Due to social distancing strategies, physical inactivity has increased in various societies, which might lead to an increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases in long term. The health benefits of physical activity consist of a wide range, including physical, mental, and social dimensions. Therefore, this book discusses whether engaging in regular physical activity is effective in preventing COVID-19 infection, reducing the severity of symptoms, reducing mortality, or eliminating COVID-19 complications.

Photonic Instrumentation Sensing and Measuring With Lasers
Photonic Instrumentation: Sensing and Measuring With Lasers
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032469323 | 521 Pages | PDF (True) | 39 MB
Photonic Instrumentation: Sensing and Measuring with Lasersis designed as a source for university-level courses covering the essentials of laser-based instrumentation, and as a useful reference for working engineers. Photonic instruments have very desirable features like non-contact operation and unparalleled sensitivity. They have quickly become a big industrial success, passing unaffected through the bubble years and, not any less important, well-established methods in measurement science. This book offers coverage of the most proven instruments, with a balanced treatment of the optical and electronic aspects involved. It also attempts to present the basic principles, develop the guidelines of design and evaluate the ultimate limits of performances set by noise.
