Narrative Mechanics: Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives?This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, storie…

Stepped-Frequency Radar Sensors
Stepped-frequency radar sensors are attractive for various surface and subsurface sensing applications. Stepped-frequency systems transmit consecutive trains of continuous-wave signals at different frequencies that are separated by a fixed amount. The unique characteristic of stepped-frequency systems is, although they work as frequency-based systems, their final response is described in a …

Organogenetic Gene Networks : Genetic Control of Organ Formation
All animals, including humans, derive from a single cell, which possesses all the genetic instructions needed to define how the animal will look like. However, during development, the millions of cells that derive from the zygote will only select part of this genetic information to give rise to the various organs of the body. The coordination of different cell behaviours during development resu…
