We are each born with a particular genetic makeup and traits that
are further shaped by our individual environments and life
experiences, creating a personality unique to us. But at no point
are we given a manual for how to use that personality in our
relationships or at work, for how to make sense of the facets that
create our sense of self, or for how to troubleshoot our
personality if there are things we are unhappy with. Personality: A
User's Guide is that missing manual. An authoritative and
comprehensive guide to personality psychology, this book outlines
the different buildings blocks of our personality, presents the
many theories and models that have been argued over the years, and
helps you identify where you stand on the spectrum of key traits
that define us. Using this knowledge about yourself, the book also
suggests ways you can better empathise with those around you who
may have very different approaches to the world, and how we can all
leverage our different strengths. The authors also consider the
constantly developing nature of the self, and ways we can turn that
to our advantage and make changes for greater success and
wellbeing. Finally, the book looks at some specific questions: Can
our pets be said to have their own personalities? What happens when
the 'dark triad' of negative traits are dominant? And is there a
future in store where we can say that an AI has a genuine
personality?
Corpus Linguistics for Translation and Contrastive Studies provides
a clear and practical introduction to using corpora in these
fields. Giving special attention to parallel corpora, which are
collections of texts in two or more languages, and demonstrating
the potential benefits for multilingual corpus linguistics research
to both translators and researchers, this book: explores the
different types of parallel corpora available, and shows how to use
basic and advanced search procedures to analyse them; explains how
to compile a parallel corpus, and discusses their uses for
translation purposes and to research linguistic phenomena across
languages; demonstrates the use of corpus extracts across a wide
range of texts, including dictionaries, novels by authors including
Jane Austen and Mikhail Bulgakov, and newspapers such as The Sunday
Times; is illustrated with case studies from a range of languages
including Finnish, Russian, English and French. Written by two
experienced researchers and practitioners, Corpus Linguistics for
Translation and Contrastive Studies is essential reading for
postgraduate students and researchers working within the area of
translation and contrastive studies.
This book deals with pathophysiology and pharmacology of
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and describes new trends in
SHR research from hemodynamic characteristics to immunological
views. It is devoted to the use of tissue culture studies to
elaborate SHR characteristics.

Mathematical modeling is becoming increasingly versatile and
multi-disciplinary. This text demonstrates the broadness of this
field as the authors consider the principles of model construction
and use common approaches to build models from a range of subject
areas. The book reflects the interests and experiences of the
authors, but it explores mathematical modeling across a wide range
of applications, from mechanics to social science. A general
approach is adopted, where ideas and examples are favored over
rigorous mathematical procedures. This insightful book will be of
interest to specialists, teachers, and students across a wide range
of disciplines..
This book offers an introduction to the basics of MATLAB
programming to scientists and engineers. The author leads with
engaging examples to build a working knowledge, specifically geared
to those with science and engineering backgrounds. The reader is
empowered to model and simulate real systems, as well as present
and analyze everyday data sets. In order to achieve those goals,
the contents bypass excessive "under the hood" details, and instead
gets right down to the essential, practical foundations for
successful programming and modeling. Readers will benefit from the
following features: Teaches programming to scientists and engineers
using a problem-based approach, leading with illustrative and
interesting examples. Emphasizes a hands-on approach, with "must
know" information and minimal technical details. Utilizes examples
from science and engineering to showcase the application of learned
concepts on real problems. Showcases modeling of real systems,
gradually advancing from simpler to more challenging problems.
Highlights the practical uses of data processing and analysis in
everyday life.

In this book the Russian expertise in the field of the design of
precise vacuum mechanics is summarized. A wide range of physical
applications of mechanism design in electronic, optical-electronic,
chemical, and aerospace industries is presented in a comprehensible
way. Topics treated include the method of microparticles flow
regulation and its determination in vacuum equipment and mechanisms
of electronics; precise mechanisms of nanoscale precision based on
magnetic and electric rheology; precise harmonic rotary and
not-coaxial nut-screw linear motion vacuum feedthroughs with
technical parameters considered the best in the world; elastically
deformed vacuum motion feedthroughs without friction couples usage;
the computer system of vacuum mechanisms failure predicting. This
English edition incorporates a number of features which should
improve its usefulness as a textbook without changing the basic
organization or the general philosophy of presentation of the
subject matter of the original Russian work. Experience at the
Bauman Moscow State Technical University and other schools shows
that the book will be useful to engineering students who wish to
prepare for more advanced studies and applications of vacuum
science, technology and its applications.
