Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (FTSK Germersheim), language: English, abstract: 'Fantasy literature' is a term most people have come across at some point in their lives nowadays. [...] Since the recognition of fantasy as a literary genre, "most have treated it as an international and mainly Anglo-Saxon form" (Manlove:1999, 1). Therefore, it appears only reasonable to take a closer look at the sort of fantasy literature that originates from the English-speaking countries. [...] Some of the best known authors of fantasy literature are of English or Scottish origin. Both Engl...
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Dolmetschen / Übersetzen, Note: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (FTSK Germersheim), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dieser Seminararbeit soll der Versuch unternommen werden, eine allgemeine Einführung in die Softwarelokalisierung zu bieten sowie aktuelle Probleme in diesem Bereich aufzuzeigen. Trotz einer überschaubaren Historie und trotz vieler in den letzten Jahren kaum veränderter Grundlagen und Standards, ist eine allgemeine Einführung in die Softwarelokalisierung durchaus kein leichtes Unterfangen. Auf die zugrundeliegende Problematik soll im Verlauf dieser Seminararbeit ausführlicher eingegangen werden. Zunächst aber wird...
This novel follows the path of a young woman, Amina, as she makes her way through a city, a life, and a sense of self that have been ravaged by an earthquake. Inspired by an earthquake in northern Algeria in 2003, the author interweaves descriptions of the earthquake with descriptions of Amina's family, culture, and country and her place within them. She leaves the reader to wonder whether Amina is fleeing the earthquake or something more complex.
Performance Enhancement and Control of Photovoltaic Systems brings together the latest advances in photovoltaic control and integration, with various embedded technologies applied to stand alone and grid connected systems, in normal and abnormal operating conditions, with new approaches intended to overcome a number of critical limitations in using PV technology. The book begins by introducing modern photovoltaic (PV) systems, system integration, materials, and thermodynamic analysis for improved performance, before examining applications in industrial processes, artificial neural network technology, and economic analysis of PV systems. In-depth chapters then demonstrate the use of advanced ...
'Clever, captivating and colourful; an absorbing thriller rich in atmosphere' Philip Gwynne Jones, author of The Venetian Game and Vengeance in Venice Death stalks the medina of Marrakech . . . Marrakech, August. It is the start of Ramadan, the hottest in memory.

Investigating, Karim uncovers a world of shadowy predators and ancient secrets hidden behind the high walls of the medina.
This volume is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the fourth international symposium on Modeling and Implementing Complex Systems (MICS’2106) organized into four main topics: Networking and Cloud Computing, Software Engineering and Formal Methods, Intelligent and Information Systems, and Algorithms and Complexity. This book presents recent advances related to theory and applications of networking and distributed computing, including: cloud computing, software engineering, formal methods, information extraction, optimization algorithms, intelligent systems, and multi-agent systems.
"Statuomania" overtook Algeria beginning in the nineteenth century as the French affinity for monuments placed thousands of war memorials across the French colony. But following Algeria's hard-fought independence in 1962, these monuments took on different meaning and some were "repatriated" to France, legally or clandestinely. Today, in both Algeria and France, people are moving and removing, vandalizing and preserving this contested, yet shared monumental heritage. Susan Slyomovics follows the afterlives of French-built war memorials in Algeria and those taken to France. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in both countries and interviews with French and Algerian heritage actors and artists, she...
This volume, which highlights recent advances in statistical methodology and applications, is divided into two main parts. The first part presents theoretical results on estimation techniques in functional statistics, while the second examines three key areas of application: estimation problems in queuing theory, an application in signal processing, and the copula approach to epidemiologic modelling. The book’s peer-reviewed contributions are based on papers originally presented at the Marrakesh International Conference on Probability and Statistics held in December 2013.
The idea of sharing a medium between signals originated sometime in the late 18th century and first appeared in wired telephone systems in the United States in the early 19th century. Multiplexing (MUX), a method by which multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared medium, increases the capacity of the communication channel by dividing it into several logical channels, one for each message signal or data stream to be transferred. On the receiver side, the reverse process known as de-multiplexing (DEMUX) helps to extract the original channel. This book examines recent advances and novel applications in MUX and DEMUX. It discusses how MUX is applied in free-space optics (FSO) applications and how 5G and 6G signals benefit from MUX, among other topics.
