Cotton farming was the only way of life that many Texans knew from the days of Austin's Colony up until World War II. For those who worked the land, it was a dawn-till-dark, "can see to can't," process that required not only a wide range of specialized skills but also a willingness to gamble on forces often beyond a farmer's control—weather, insects, plant diseases, and the cotton market.This unique book offers an insider's view of Texas cotton farming in the late 1920s. Drawing on the memories of farmers and their descendants, many of whom are quoted here, the authors trace a year in the life of south central Texas cotton farms. From breaking ground to planting, cultivating, and harvesting, they describe the typical tasks of farm families—as well as their houses, food, and clothing; the farm animals they depended on; their communities; and the holidays, activities, and observances that offered the farmers respite from hard work.Although cotton farming still goes on in Texas, the lifeways described here have nearly vanished as the state has become highly urbanized. Thus, this book preserves a fascinating record of an important part of Texas' rural heritage.

Nietzsche's work was heavily influenced by ancient Greek philosophy. Meyer shows how Nietzsche attempted to revive the Heraclitean-Protagorean position that is critically analyzed by both Plato and Aristotle in the Theaetetus and Metaphysics IV, and establishes Nietzsche as a naturalist who believes that there are objective facts. The book not only highlights the foundations of his thought, but also restores order to Nietzsche's work.

- Includes fundamental concepts required for designing small scale wind turbines.- Wind turbine aerodynamic behavior, application requirements, fabrication techniques and other key factors are included.- Several solved numerical problems have been included.  Wind Energy: Micro- to Small-Scale Turbines provide fundamental design concepts required for development of both micro- and small scale wind turbines at low speed applications. Basic design techniques are covered, as well as various fabrication techniques that can be used to manufacture cost-effective and efficient small scale wind turbines. Coverage of aspects related to materials science and engineering, as well as mechanical engineering, is included. Each chapter has solved numerical problems which are used as examples. Additional unsolved problems are provided at the end of each chapter. The book is suitable for courses on energy harvesting, sustainable energy and fluid dynamics, as well as for more focused courses on wind energy harvesting.

Providing a new perspective on the Sumerian Gilgamesh stories, Alhena Gadotti argues that a Sumerian Gilgamesh Cycle was developed as early as Ur III, and that Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld was the first, not the last story of this cycle. Prompted by several texts that have come to light since Aaron Shaffer's 1963 publication of the text, this book offers a new edition and a re-examination of the composition.

Dieser Band ist der dritte Teil der ,,Modernen Stochastik". Als Fortsetzung der ,,Wahrscheinlichkeit" werden nun dynamische stochastische Phänomene anhand stochastischer Prozesse in diskreter Zeit betrachtet. Die erste Hälfte des Buchs gibt eine Einführung in die Theorie der diskreten Martingale - ihr Konvergenzverhalten, optional sampling & stopping, gleichgradige Integrierbarkeit und Martingalungleichungen. Die Stärke der Martingaltechniken wird in den Kapiteln über Anwendungen in der klassischen Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und über die Burkholder-Davis-Gundy-Ungleichungen illustriert. Die zweite Hälfte des Buchs beschäftigt sich mit Irrfahrten auf dem Gitter &#8484;d und auf &#8477;d, ihrem Fluktuationsverhalten, Rekurrenz und Transienz. Die letzten beiden Kapitel geben einen Einblick in die probabilistische Potentialtheorie sowie einen Ausblick auf die Brownsche Bewegung: Donskers Invarianzprinzip. &#12288; Contents Fair Play Bedingte Erwartung Martingale Stoppen und Lokalisieren Konvergenz von Martingalen L2-Martingale Gleichgradig integrierbare Martingale Einige klassische Resultate der W-Theorie Elementare Ungleichungen für Martingale Die Burkholder-Davis-Gundy Ungleichungen Zufällige Irrfahrten auf &#8484;d - erste Schritte Fluktuationen einer einfachen Irrfahrt auf &#8484; Rekurrenz und Transienz allgemeiner Irrfahrten Irrfahrten und Analysis Donskers Invarianzprinzip und die Brownsche Bewegung

The debate about access to scientific research raises questions about the current effectiveness of scholarly communication processes. This book explores, from an independent point of view, the current state of the STM publishing market, new publishing technologies and business models as well as the information habit of researchers, the politics of research funders, and the demand for scientific research as a public good.
