The renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy created a realistic masterpiece in Anna Karenina (1878). In the same work, moreover, he utilized allegory and symbol to an extent and at a level of sophistication unknown in his other works. In Browning’s study, the author identifies and analyzes previously unnoticed or only briefly mentioned “linkages and keystones” found in two highly developed cl…
What does it mean to be media literate in today’s world? How are we transformed by the many media infrastructures around us? We are immersed in a world mediated by information and communication technologies (ICTs). From hardware like smartphones, smartwatches, and home assistants to software like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, our lives have become a complex, interconnected netwo…
Broader in scope than any previous literary study of the transcendentalists, this rewarding book analyzes the theories and forms characteristic of a vital group of American writers, as well as the principles and vision underlying transcendentalism. All the movement's major literary figures and forms are considered in detail.Lawrence Buell combines intellectual history and critical explication, …
The subject of this book is CMOS RF circuit design for reliability. The device reliability and process variation issues on RF transmitter and receiver circuits will be particular interest to the readers in the field of semiconductor devices and circuits. This proposed book is unique to explore typical reliability issues in the device and technology level and then to examine their impact on RF w…
This book discusses in detail the CMOS implementation of energy harvesting. The authors describe an integrated, indoor light energy harvesting system, based on a controller circuit that dynamically and automatically adjusts its operation to meet the actual light circumstances of the environment where the system is placed. The system is intended to power a sensor node, enabling an autonomous wir…
This book focuses on the development of circuit and system design techniques for millimeter wave wireless communication systems above 90GHz and fabricated in nanometer scale CMOS technologies. The authors demonstrate a hands-on methodology that was applied to design six different chips, in order to overcome a variety of design challenges. Behavior of both actives and passives, and how to desi…
This book details the state-of-the-art of research and development in design computing and design cognition. It features more than 35 papers that were presented at the Sixth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition, DCC?14, held at University College, London, UK. Inside, readers will find the work of expert researchers and practitioners that explores both advances in theory an…
This book introduces readers to the design of adaptive equalization solutions integrated in standard CMOS technology for high-speed serial links. Since continuous-time equalizers offer various advantages as an alternative to discrete-time equalizers at multi-gigabit rates, this book provides a detailed description of continuous-time adaptive equalizers design - both at transistor and system le…
Agroekosistem terdiri dari tumbuhan, tanah dan air sebagai komponen utamanya. Pestisida yang disemprotkan pada tanaman mempengaruhi tanaman dan spesies hama targetnya selain mempengaruhi agen pengendalian hayati (predator dan parasitoid), penyerbuk dan organisme bermanfaat lainnya. Ketika pestisida diterapkan di dalam tanah atau masuk ke dalam tanah sebagai semprotan, hal itu mempengaruhi organ…
Itu adalah momen yang mempesona dalam sejarah profesi kedokteran hewan ketika Organisasi Pangan dan Pertanian Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (FAO) mengumumkan pada 28 Juni 2011 bahwa rinderpest telah diberantas secara global dan tidak ada hambatan untuk perdagangan internasional karena rinderpest. Pada saat komunitas penelitian dikumpulkan di bawah "Program Pemberantasan Rinderpest Global (GREP)" u…
