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.
Colonial Transformations covers early modern English poetry and plays, Gaelic poetry, and a wide range of English colonial propaganda. In the book, Bach contends that England’s colonial ambitions surface in all of its literary texts. Those texts played multiple roles in England’s colonial expansions and emerging imperialism. Those roles included publicizing colonial efforts, defining some people as white and some as barbarians, constituting enduring stereotypes of native people, and resisting official versions of colonial encounters.
Shakespeare has been misread for centuries as having modern ideas
about sex and gender. This book shows how in the Restoration and
Eighteenth century, Shakespeare's plays and other Renaissance texts
were adapted to make them conform to these modern ideas. Through
readings of Shakespearean texts, including "King Lear," "Antony and
Cleopatra," and "Othello," and other Renaissance drama, the book
reveals a sexual world before heterosexuality. "Shakespeare and
Renaissance Literature Before Heterosexuality" shows how revisions
and criticism of Renaissance drama contributed to the emergence of
heterosexuality. It also shows how changing ideas about status,
adultery, friendship, and race were factors in that emergence.
by Joseph Weizenbaum Since the dawn of the age of computers, people
have cursed the difficulty of programming. Over and over again we
encounter the suggestion that we should be able to communicate to a
computer in natural language what we want it to do. Unfortunately,
such advice rests upon a misconception of both the computer and its
task. The computer might not be stupid, but it is stubborn. That
is, the computer does what all the details of its pro gram command
it to do, i. e., what the programmer "tells" it to do. And this can
be quite different from what the programmer intended. The misun
derstanding with respect to tasks posed to the computer arises from
the failure to recognize that such tasks can scarcely be expressed
in natural language, if indeed at all. For example, can we practice
music, chemistry or mathematics without their respective special
symbolic languages? Yet books about computers and programming
languages can be written more or less reasonably, even if they are
not quite poetic or lyrical. This book can serve as an example of
this art and as a model for anyone at tempting to teach inherently
difficult subject matters to others. Klagenfurt, April 1995 Preface
Striving to make learning to program easier, this book addresses
primarily students beginning a computer science major. For our
program examples, we employ a new, elegant programming language,
Modula-3."
Are you looking for concise, practical answers to those questions
that are often left unanswered by traditional ACL references? Are
you seeking brief, evidence-based advice for complicated cases or
complications? "Curbside Consultation of the ACL: 49 Clinical
Questions "provides quick answers to the many questions most
commonly posed during a "curbside consultation" between surgical
colleagues. Drs. Bernard R. Bach, Jr. and Nikhil N. Verma have
designed this unique reference which offers expert advice,
preferences, and opinions on tough clinical questions commonly
associated with ACL management. The unique Q&A format provides
quick access to current information related to ACL management with
the simplicity of a conversation between two colleagues. Numerous
images, diagrams, and references are included to enhance the text
and to illustrate the management of ACL issues. "Curbside
Consultation of the ACL: 49 Clinical Questions" provides
information basic enough for residents while also incorporating
expert advice that even high-volume clinicians will appreciate.
Practicing orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic residents and medical
students will benefit from the user-friendly and casual format and
the expert advice contained within. Some of the questions that are
answered: - How do you evaluate the failed ACL reconstruction? -
What tricks do you have to avoid creation of a "vertical" tunnel
when drilling a transtibial tunnel? - How do you evaluate, manage,
and prevent motion problems? - How do you determine tibial tunnel
position to optimize graft length and femoral tunnel position when
performing an endoscopic technique? - How do you manage the
expanded femoral or tibial tunnel in a failed ACLpatient? - How do
you manage the adolescent with open growth plates who has sustained
an ACL injury?
This book introduces the concepts and features of Linux. It
describes the features and services of the Internet which have been
instrumental in the rapid development and wide distribution of
Linux and focuses on the graphical interface, network capability,
and extended tools of Linux. It also gives an overview of the wide
range of freeware applications available for Linux. Now completely
revised and expanded to help the reader take full advantage of the
high-performance of Linux 2.0, this third edition lists all of the
currently supported hardware; provides the latest information on
Linux as client/server; explains the newest applications including
StarOffice 3.1, new graphics tools (including GIMP), Xemacs, and
LyX; and presents the most up to date information on security and
cryptography. Plus, there is a new UNIX command reference with
entries grouped by purpose, as well as a new section on how to deal
with errors. All in all, the most up-to-date information on Linux
available!
Without a doubt the idea of object-oriented programming has brought
some motion into the field of programming methodology and enlarged
the set of programming languages. Object-oriented programming is
nothing new-it first arose in the sixties. The motivation came from
the simulation of discrete event systems. The concept first
manifested itself in the language Simula 67. It took nearly two
decades for the method to gain impetus, and today object-oriented
programming is an important concept and a powerful technique.
Meanwhile, we can even speak of an over reaction, for the concept
has become a buzzword. But buzzwords always appear where there is
the hope of exploiting ill-informed clients because they see the
new approach as the solution to all their problems. Thus
object-oriented programming is often hailed as a panacea. And so
the question is justified: What is really behind it? To let the cat
out of the bag: There is more to object-oriented programming than
merely putting data as objects in the fore ground, instead of
algorithms to which the data are subject. It is more than purely an
alternative view of programmed systems. To identify the essence of
object-oriented programming, is the subject of this book. This is a
textbook that shows in a didactically skillful way which concepts
and constructs are new, where they can be employed reasonably, and
what advantages they offer. For, not all programs are automatically
improved by merely recasting them in an object-oriented style."

H. KIESEWETTER, J. KosciELNY, and F. JuNG Tbe byperoncotic
colloid-osmotic pressure of tbe 10% Haes solution causes an
increased intravascular volume because free tissue water flows into
the vascular system [206]. Witb a volume expansion effect of about
50% an increase in intravascular volume of 750 ml (500 mi Haes and
250 mi tissue water) is expected immediately after hypervolemic
hemodilution, after isovolemic bemodilution only an in crease of
250 mi ( only tissue water due to a pblebotomy of 500 mi). The
blood is diluted by overloading the vascular system [245]. After
isovolemic bemodilution tbe dilution effect is more marked due to
the pblebotomy. Estimated by means of the total protcin
concentration (Fig. 67) the dilution of plasma was 22% 1 h after
isovolemic hemodilution but only 14% after bypervolemic
bemodilution. Tbe plasma dilutions were almost confirmed by the
concentration changes of albumin (Fig. 68). Therefore, the mixing
ratio is 4. 1 to 1 (plasma to bydroxyetbyl starcb) for bypervolemic
infusion of 500 ml Haes-sterillO% (200/0. 5) and 3. 7 to 1 for
isovolemic dilution. Consequently, the hydroxyethyl starch
concentration after isovolemic hemodilution was signifi- cantly
bigher at all measuring times tban after hypervolemic hemodilution
(Fig. 61). If tbe infusion was performed quickly so that no renal
output of the Haes solution could ensue, a mean bydroxyetbyl starch
concentration of 10. 3 g per liter plasma would be expected
immediately after isovolemic hemodilution for tbe above mixing
ratio, and one of 9. 0 g after hypervolemic bemodilution.
This book is intended for the novice as well as for the experienced
programmer who wants to learn Modula-2. We do not limit ourselves
to just a description of Modula-2. Instead, we seek to familiarize
the reader with the concept of algorithms and to show him/her how
to implement algorithms in Modula-2. The programming language
Modula-2 was developed by Niklaus Wirth (also the father of
world-famous Pascal) and made public in 1978. Compared to other
programming languages such as Ada, COBOL or PL/ , Modula-2 is a
compact language, which makes it easy to learn. Nevertheless,
Modula-2 contains all important language elements necessary for
formulating complicated algorithms and for implementing the modern
concepts of software engineering. Modula-2 is distinguished by a
systematic structure that makes it possible to write easily
readable programs. The language supports many of the principles of
modern software engineering. All this makes Modula-2 a useful
instrument for an introduction to the basics of programming. This
textbook strives to establish a solid foundation in the techniques
of programming with up-to-date methods of program development. Use
of the programming language Modula-2 is reinforced with numerous
hands-on exercises. This book does not presuppose any knowledge of
programming, but it does require a certain ability in the realm of
abstract thinking, some pleasure in problem solving, and a desire
to come to terms with complex interrelationships.
