Henrichs-Tarasenkova argues against a long tradition of scholars
about how best to represent Luke's Christology. When read against
the backdrop of ancient ways of constructing personal identity, key
texts in the Lukan narrative demonstrate that Luke indirectly
characterizes Jesus as the one God of Israel together with YHWH.
Henrichs-Tarasenkova employs a narrative approach that takes into
consideration recent studies of narrative and history and enables
her to construct characters of YHWH and Jesus within the Lukan
narrative. She employs Richard Bauckham's concept of divine
identity that she evaluates against her study of how one might
speak of personal identity in the Greco-Roman world. She engages in
close reading of key texts to demonstrate how Luke speaks of YHWH
as God in order to demonstrate that Luke-Acts upholds a traditional
Jewish view that only the God of Israel is the one living God and
to eliminate false expectations for how Luke should speak of Jesus
as God. This analysis establishes how Luke binds Jesus' identity to
the divine identity of YHWH and concludes that the Lukan narrative,
in fact, does portray Jesus as God when it shows that Jesus shares
YHWH's divine identity.

This volume contains the collected papers of Albert Henrichs on
numerous subjects in ancient Greek myth and religion. What was
ancient Greek religion really like? What is the reality of belief
and action that lies behind the unwieldy sources, which stem from
vast areas and epochs of the ancient world? What is the meaning,
intended and otherwise, of religious action and speech in ancient
Greece? Who were the Greek gods, how were they worshipped, and how
were they viewed by those who worshipped them? One of the leading
students of ancient Greek religion over the past five decades,
Albert Henrichs, the Eliot Professor of Greek Literature at Harvard
University, combines wide and deep learning, a pragmatic, incisive
approach to the sources, and an apt use of comparative
perspectives. Henrichs breaks new ground in discussing sacrifice,
libation, cultic identity, religious action and speech, epiphany,
and the personalities of the gods. Special attention is devoted to
ancient Greek sources on the ancient Persian prophet Mani, founder
of Manichaeism. As a group, Albert Henrichs' papers on Greek
religion offer a basic education on Greek myth and religion and
constitute a blueprint for serious study of the subject.
Historical linguistic theory and practice consist of a large number
of chronological "layers" that have been accepted in the course of
time and have acquired a permanence of their own. These range from
neogrammarian conceptualizations of sound change, analogy, and
borrowing, to prosodic, lexical, morphological, and syntactic
change, and to present-day views on rule change and the effects of
language contact. To get a full grasp of the principles of
historical linguistics it is therefore necessary to understand the
nature of each of these "layers". This book is a major revision and
reorganization of the earlier editions and adds entirely new
chapters on morphological change and lexical change, as well as a
detailed discussion of linguistic palaeontology and ideological
responses to the findings of historical linguistics to this
landmark publication.
Before any kind of new physics discovery could be made at the LHC,
a precise understanding and measurement of the Standard Model of
particle physics' processes was necessary. The book provides an
introduction to top quark production in the context of the Standard
Model and presents two such precise measurements of the production
of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass
energy of 7 TeV that were observed with the ATLAS Experiment at the
LHC. The presented measurements focus on events with one charged
lepton, missing transverse energy and jets. Using novel and
advanced analysis techniques as well as a good understanding of the
detector, they constitute the most precise measurements of the
quantity at that time.
This book compares the cross-border integration of infrastructures
in Europe such as post, telecommunication and transportation in the
19th century and the period following the Second World War. In
addition to providing a unique perspective on the development of
cross-border infrastructures and the international regimes
regulating them, it offers the first systematic comparison of a
variety of infrastructure sectors, identifies general developmental
trends and supplies theoretical explanations. In this regard,
integration is defined as international standardization, network
building and the establishment of international organizations to
regulate cross-border infrastructures.
In this Symposium, researchers specializing in pulsation, rotation,
magnetic fields and stellar winds are brought together for the
first time in order to broaden our understanding of O and B stars.
Thanks to advances in digital spectroscopy, new types of pulsating
B stars have been discovered. The pulsations can be understood in
terms of the recent revision of metal opacities, but the effects of
rapid rotation and magnetic fields need further study. Observations
in the UV and X-ray regions demonstrate that many B and Be stars
show other activity, besides pulsation which is not yet understood.
The reason for the enhanced mass loss in B stars is a question
which dominates the Symposium and which remains unanswered,
although it is surely to be found in activity at or near the
photosphere coupled with rotation. It is shown that the geometry of
the circumstellar envelopes around Be stars is indeed a flattened
disk as they can now be optically resolved. The variability of
radiatively-driven winds from O and B stars are likely related to
the rotation of the star. This underlines the central theme of the
book: that the various phenomena seen in these stars cannot be
studied in isolation.
Why does language change? Why can we speak to and understand our
parents but have trouble reading Shakespeare? Why is Chaucer's
English of the fourteenth century so different from Modern English
of the late twentieth century that the two are essentially
different languages? Why are Americans and English 'one people
divided by a common language'? And how can the language of Chaucer
and Modern English - or Modern British and American English - still
be called the same language? The present book provides answers to
questions like these in a straightforward way, aimed at the
non-specialist, with ample illustrations from both familiar and
more exotic languages. Most chapters in this new edition have been
reworked, with some difficult passages removed, other passages
thoroughly rewritten, and several new sections added, e.g. on
language and race and on Indian writing systems. Further, the
chapter notes and bibliography have all been updated. The content
is engaging, focusing on topics and issues that spark student
interest. Its goals are broadly pedagogical and the level and
presentation are appropriate for interested beginners with little
or no background in linguistics. The language coverage for examples
goes well beyond what is usual for books of this kind, with a
considerable amount of data from various languages of India.
This book discusses how smart cities strive to deploy and
interconnect infrastructures and services to guarantee that
authorities and citizens have access to reliable and global
customized services. The book addresses the wide range of topics
present in the design, development and running of smart cities,
ranging from big data management, Internet of Things, and
sustainable urban planning. The authors cover - from concept to
practice - both the technical aspects of smart cities enabled
primarily by the Internet of Things and the socio-economic
motivations and impacts of smart city development. The reader will
find smart city deployment motivations, technological enablers and
solutions, as well as state of the art cases of smart city
implementations and services. * Provides a single compendium of the
technological, political, and social aspects of smart cities; *
Discusses how the successful deployment of smart Cities requires a
unified infrastructure to support the diverse set of applications
that can be used towards urban development; * Addresses design,
development and running of smart cities, including big data
management and Internet of Things applications.
Historical linguistic theory and practice contains a great number
of different 'layers' which have been accepted in the course of
time and have acquired a permanency of their own. These range from
neogrammarian conceptualizations of sound change and analogy to
present-day ideas on rule change and language mixture. To get a
full grasp of the principles of historical linguistics it is
therefore necessary to understand the nature and justifications (or
shortcomings) of each of these 'layers', not just to look for a
single 'overarching' theory. The major purpose of the book is to
provide in up-to-date form such an understanding of the principles
of historical linguistics and the related fields of comparative
linguistics and linguistic reconstruction. In addition, the book
provides a very broad exemplification of the principles of
historical linguistics.
