From the preface: "In 2006, 'The Year of the Bard', the National Portrait Gallery in London mounted an extensive exhibition dedicated to the great British national poet and playwright. A large number of images..were displayed, many of them claiming to depict William Shakespeare authentically, including the Gallery's .. Chandos Portrait. The preparations for this major event included subjecting a number of Shakespeare portraits to laboratory investigation, and the BBC broadcast the results in a series of TV documentary programmes. ..The build -up to this exhibition coincided with the completion of my long-term research project on authentic images of Shakespeare, and especially with my investigations into the Davenant bust, owned by the Garrick Club in London..In the course of mv wide-ranging research I have unearthed entirely new textual and visual sources, and have made existing source material newly accessible. On this basis, and in collaboration with experts from a variety of disciplines, I have put forward startling new findings with regard to Shakespeare's life and death, and placed them in the appropriate framework of their cultural history..We can now be certain that we possess not only the genuine death mask of Shakespeare but also detailed and accurate images, with clearly visible signs of disease, from three periods of his life. It will be demonstrated in this book that William Shakespeare must have sat in person for these true-to-life likenesses."

'Genetic Architectures III / Arquitecturas Geneticas III' advances from its predecessors 'GAI 'of 2003 and 'GAII' of 2005, presenting investigative theory, production, and hybridized design from experimental architecture, biology, computation, and art history. The book features contributions from Spanish, Catalan, French, British, and American specialists in architecture, science, and philosophy: Alberto T. Estevez, Josep Corco, Dennis Dollens, Bernard Cache, Michael Hensel, Neil Leach, Agusti Fontarnau, and Judith Urbano. Their works and words are set in a framework of illustrated projects developed in the Genetic Architectures and BioDigital master program at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Barcelona. The experimental research in 'GAIII' is algorithmically generative, scripted, and parametric, stemming from collaborations between design, science, and nature--specifically between biology and architecture. Projects, illustrated with full-scale examples, are modeled and/or fabricated with CNC and rapid prototyping technologies. While some of the works and discussions are speculative and hypothetical, others focus on morphological and anatomical structural transformations fully realizable today; still others incorporate advanced visualization and techniques from science and nature that lend themselves to extrapolation for today's design studios and classrooms. Unthinkable only a few years ago, biologically living buildings or parts of buildings collaborating with sensor networks and actuator/robotic controls are the stuff of advanced experimentation and building research taking place at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya's Barcelona campus' Genetic Architectures and BioDigital master programs. Experimental Architecture discussed by eight international experts with emphasis on emerging technologies and biological, structural potential., Lumen Books, Sense Publishers, 2012. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. In 2004, Canada's national funding body for scientific research requested proposals for councils that would increase the understanding of the skills and resources needed to improve the quality of science and mathematics education in primary and secondary (K-12) education. Here are some of the outcomes from the center in Alberta, which is both a prototype and model for the others. The topics include reading for evidence through hybrid adapted primary literature, explanatory reasoning in junior high school textbooks, visualizations and visualization in mathematics education, curriculum development to promote visualization and mathematical reasoning, and using computer visualizations to introduce grade five students to the particle nature of matter.

Softcover. New. Looking for a reliable way to learn how to program on your own, without being overwhelmed by confusing concepts? Head First Programming introduces the core concepts of writing computer programs -- variables, decisions, loops, functions, and objects -- which apply regardless of the programming language. This book offers concrete examples and exercises in the dynamic and versatile Python language to demonstrate and reinforce these concepts. Learn the basic tools to start writing the programs that interest you, and get a better understanding of what software can (and cannot) do. When you`re finished, you`ll have the necessary foundation to learn any programming language or tackle any software project you choose. With a focus on programming concepts, this book teaches you how to: Understand the core features of all programming languages, including: variables, statements, decisions, loops, expressions, and operators Reuse code with functions Use library code to save time and effort Select the best data structure to manage complex data Write programs that talk to the Web Share your data with other programs Write programs that test themselves and help you avoid embarrassing coding errors We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Discovery Publishing House Pvt. Ltd., 2010. Hardcover. New. In this book, an attempt has been made to Study the complete proposals of structure of Cognition termed as Cognitive Architecture of the visually impaired Children by contrasting it with that of sighted children. The cognitive architecture has been defined in terms of production system Framework successfully brought to Psychology by eminent experts and employed in the programmes of Computer simulations. The book aims to indicate the differences between visually impaired and sighted children on some parameters in the functioning of cognitive architecture for some problem tasks. The book will help educators for planning suitable interventions for the Education of children and young people with visual impairments. Also, the book attempts to outline the effects of media of presentation on the functioning of the cognitive architecture both in the visually impaired and the sighted children. Preface 1.

Softcover. New. The second edition of this extensively revised and updated text is a result of the positive feedback and constructive suggestions received from academics and students alike. It discusses the fundamentals as well as the advances in digital image processing and analysis—both theory and practice—to fulfil the needs of students pursuing courses in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is also considered useful for teachers, professional engineers and researchers. The second edition has three objectives. First, each and every chapter has been modified in the light of recent advances as well as emerging concepts. Second, a good deal of colour image processing has been incorporated. A large number of line drawings and images have been included to make the book student friendly. Third, some new problems have been added in almost all chapters to test the student’s understanding of the real-life problems. The other distinguishing features of the book are : A summary at the end of the chapter to help the student capture the key points. About 320 line drawings and 280 photographs for easy assimilation of the concepts. Chapter-end problems for extensive practice and research.
