In this wordless graphic novel, Captain Barbosa sails the seven seas with his trusty shipmates: a fly, an alligator, and an elephant. A seagull steals his treasured hat, and Barbosa and his crew give chase through a nasty storm. When Barbosa reaches the seagull's island, he finds the hat—along with a nest of baby seagulls—and decides even pirates can forgive and forget.

22 Jahre und 484 Projekte in einem Buch zusammenzuführen, ist eine Mammutaufgabe. Besonders, wenn es dabei um das einflussreiche Werk zweier Designikonen geht. Mit ihrem Büro AAS haben Pierre Jorge Gonzalez und Judith Haase schnell Designgeschichte geschrieben. Ihr puristischer und zugleich ausgefallener Stil prägt weltweit die Räume von großen Kunstinstallationen über Ladengeschäfte bis hin zu luxuriösen Privatgemächern. Dabei liegt ihr besonderes Augenmerk stets auf einer gekonnt inszenierten Choreografie aus Raum und Licht. Die Unverwechselbarkeit ihres Stils kommt auch in diesem prachtvollen Bildband zum Ausdruck. Der Ästhetik sozialer Medien verpflichtet, funktioniert das Buch wie ein Stream faszinierender Impressionen und experimentiert mit spannungsreichen Bildumbrüchen. Dem eigenen Stil treu und stets das Neue wagend, zeigt und ist das Buch ein typisches AAS-Projekt.

This volume of essays focuses on films of the so-called quinqui genre, films created during the 1970s–1980s depicting the lives of young criminals from the outskirts of Spanish cities, that arose/spread during the uncertain transitional period in a Spain moving from a dictatorship to a democracy. The quinqui films, produced and released on a shoestring budget, were nonetheless immensely popular, although never fully considered as part of the national film production in academic circles due to their “B” nature and low quality. These films encapsulate many of the concerns that Spaniards were facing (unemployment, class conflict and disparity, wild economic growth, increasing violence and...
Provides a comprehensive overview of third language acquisition (additive multilingualism) in adulthood, an increasingly important subfield of language acquisition.
Parallel Programming: Concepts and Practice provides an upper level introduction to parallel programming. In addition to covering general parallelism concepts, this text teaches practical programming skills for both shared memory and distributed memory architectures. The authors' open-source system for automated code evaluation provides easy access to parallel computing resources, making the book particularly suitable for classroom settings. - Covers parallel programming approaches for single computer nodes and HPC clusters: OpenMP, multithreading, SIMD vectorization, MPI, UPC++ - Contains numerous practical parallel programming exercises - Includes access to an automated code evaluation tool that enables students the opportunity to program in a web browser and receive immediate feedback on the result validity of their program - Features an example-based teaching of concept to enhance learning outcomes
This book describes how to use test equating methods in practice. The non-commercial software R is used throughout the book to illustrate how to perform different equating methods when scores data are collected under different data collection designs, such as equivalent groups design, single group design, counterbalanced design and non equivalent groups with anchor test design. The R packages equate, kequate and SNSequate, among others, are used to practically illustrate the different methods, while simulated and real data sets illustrate how the methods are conducted with the program R. The book covers traditional equating methods including, mean and linear equating, frequency estimation eq...
Research on vitamin C and its effects on cancer is growing in popularity around the world as positive research continues to accumulate building a stronger case for its effectiveness. This concise SpringerBrief on Vitamin C and Cancer presents the latest findings on how vitamin C induces apoptosis. A high concentration of vitamin C allows for ascorbate to generate hydrogen peroxide in tissue that can selectively kill cancer cells. Research has confirmed that high-dose vitamin C is cytotoxic to a wide variety of cancer cell lines, and that it also boosts the anti-cancer activity of several common chemotherapy drugs. Vitamin C also does more than just kill cancer cells. It boosts immunity by stimulating collagen formation to help the body wall off the tumor. It inhibits hyaluronidase, an enzyme that tumors use to metastasize and invade other organs throughout the body. This concise and up-to-date Brief is geared towards cancer researchers and scientists, as well as physicians interested in the basic science and the translational potential of vitamin C in cancer therapeutics.
