Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

For the fourth time, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and
the Com- tence Network for Technical, Scienti c High Performance
Computing in Bavaria (KONWIHR) publishes the results from scienti c
projects conducted on the c- puter systems HLRB I and II (High
Performance Computer in Bavaria). This book reports the research
carried out on the HLRB systems within the last three years and
compiles the proceedings of the Third Joint HLRB and KONWIHR Result
and Reviewing Workshop (3rd and 4th December 2007) in Garching. In
2000, HLRB I was the rst system in Europe that was capable of
performing more than one Tera op/s or one billion oating point
operations per second. In 2006 it was replaced by HLRB II. After a
substantial upgrade it now achieves a peak performance of more than
62 Tera op/s. To install and operate this powerful system, LRZ had
to move to its new facilities in Garching. However, the situation
regarding the need for more computation cycles has not changed much
since 2000. The demand for higher performance is still present, a
trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Other
resources like memory and disk space are currently in suf cient
abundance on this new system.
This is a hands-on guide to learning to draw in perspective. It is
partly about learning to draw a set of straight lines that meet at
a point. And it's partly about learning to look at what is around
you, and spot where those invisible straight lines might be
located. It's a book for anyone who wants to draw or paint-in any
genre and in any medium. And it's not weighed down with theory -
although everything you will need to know is explained. Most of
all, it gives you exercises to play with. You can put your
observational skills to the test with the "image quiz"
features-where you take a pen and draw in all the vanishing points
onto the book itself. Or use the special "perspective chambers" to
draw objects onto an existing scene, keeping it all in the right
perspective: think of it as a kind of 3D doodling. By the time you
get to the end of the book, you will understand how perspective
works and be able to apply it intuitively without a ruler or
drafting table. The whole concept will feel like a sixth sense. And
you can get on with being creative. There is also a 30-page
workbook to put your skills to the test!
This collection of essays focuses on current approaches to
variation and change in historical English grammar and lexicon. Of
the twelve papers in the collection, half are based on grammar and
syntax, half on lexical developments. The volume highlights the
contributions that strong empirical research can make to our
knowledge of the development of English grammar, especially as
realized in lexical development. In illustration of contemporary
research trends, the articles in the collection make strong use of
extralinguistic factors to discuss language change as well as argue
for internal and structural development. The authors are drawn from
nine different countries, and each article is followed by a
commentary and response that provide actual dialogue about the
issues in the field, thus representing world-wide discussion of
issues in the history of English. The essays recognize the
different audiences for historical variation and change - formal
linguists, sociolinguists, and lexicographers - and specifically
address the interests and discourse in those areas. The volume
shows how historical studies of English are increasingly engaged
with contemporary trends in linguistics, at the same time as
demonstrating how empirical and other methods can bring classical
philology fully into the sphere of contemporary linguistics without
abandoning its traditional concerns.
This book focuses on education and power in Southeast Asia and
analyses the ways in which education has been instrumentalized by
state, non-state, and private actors across this diverse region.
