The Oxford Encyclopedia of Sensory Systems provides a comprehensive scholarly account of the diverse means that organisms use to interact with their environments, as well as the biological adaptations that shape these systems across species. More than 100 leading scholars were commissioned to write brand new articles for these volumes, contributing to a collective effort that presents both foundational and emerging topics in the field of sensory neuroscience. Organized into topical sections, across 61 long-form articles, the Encyclopedia examines the somotaosensory, vestibular, olfactory, and gustatory systems of vertebrates and invertebrates alike. Each peer-reviewed article provides a thorough summary of the subject at hand and deepens understanding by discussing the history of perspectives on the topic, the current state of the field, and future directions for research. As a work, the Encyclopedia serves as a valuable contribution and testament to the variety of scholarship within s

The first book on the interiors of sought-after architect Vincenzo De Cotiis collects more than a decade of the atelier's projects. Milan-based architect and artist Vincenzo De Cotiis premiered on Architectural Digest's AD100 list in 2021, confirming his studio's international cult renown. Originally known for interiors in which he strips centuries-old architecture of any later embellishments, creating a conversation between historic settings and his emphatically contemporary design, De Cotiis has since developed a vocabulary of rare stones and polished metals to create striking minimalist interiors for the world's tastemakers. Following in the footsteps of Italian maestros like Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa, De Cotiis works at the nexus of architecture, interiors, and furniture design, prizing top-level craftsmanship above all else. His creations are born out of an assembly of recovered materials and reflective, futuristic surfaces. Images by photographer Martin Morrell highlight the qui

The sociology of the Middle East has been an expanding field of inquiry since the aftermath of World War II when phenomena as diverse as urbanization, internal and international migration, and peasant societies attracted the attention of scholars working on the region. The Middle East becamecentral in key sociological debates on modernization theory and the critical responses. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of the Middle East connects this historical trajectory with the emergence of the sociology of Islam, inspired by Max Weber. It explores how within the global community, the Middle East has become a terrain of heightened concern within the post-Cold War context, where the promising rise of civic (and often religiously-motivated) sociopolitical movements in the 1980s and 1990s has been slowly overwhelmed by the affirmation of jihadist networks, authoritarian states, and complex supranational security apparatuses. This foundational volume starts by engagingin a critical examinati

This is the first edition of a Latin text unlike any other surviving one : at first sight an extensive, jumbled list of words with explanations, on closer inspection a window on the teaching of Latin shorthand in North Africa c. AD 400, when we find notarii, those trained in shorthand, prominently employed everywhere in state and church. The text reveals in detail how that training could relate to literary Latin and the classical Roman past. The single manuscript of it in our possession descends from a copy that must have been in Anglo-Saxon England by AD 700, and we can see how it was used for the earliest Latin glossary from that context. The edition seeks to make this story accessible both in general and in detail, with copious indices for those who may wish to consult it from various viewpoints: classical and later Latin, linguistic and historical.

Exactly a century ago, intelligence agencies across Europe first became aware of a fanatical German nationalist whose political party was rapidly gathering momentum. His name was Adolf Hitler. From 1933, these spy services watched with growing alarm as they tried to determine what sort of threat Hitler's regime would now pose to the rest of Europe. Would Germany rearm, either covertly or in open defiance of the outside world? Would Hitler turn his attention eastwards - or did he also pose a threat to the west? What were the feelings and attitudes of ordinary Germans, towards their own regime as well as the outside world? Despite intense rivalry and mistrust between them, these spy chiefs began to liaise and close ranks against Nazi Germany. At the heart of this loose, informal network were the British and French intelligence services, alongside the Poles and Czechs. Some other countries - Holland, Belgium, and the United States - stood at the periphery. Drawing on a wide range of previ

Ravi Kumar, head of the Central Counterterrorism Command (C3) of the Intelligence Bureau, is haunted by the partial success of Operation Haygreeva. He and his team of young recruits-Mihir, Cyrus and Jose-exposed designs of a hitherto-unknown terrorist outfit, the Lashkar-e-Hind (LeH), responsible for the Mumbai train blasts. But the mission they had staked their lives on remains significantly unfinished. The LeH's leader, Tabrez, had managed to escape to Pakistan. Looking to expand the scale of his operations and strike back at India in previously inconceivable ways, Tabraz becomes the lynchpin of a sinister K2 plan of the Pak ISI to leverage different socio-political anxieties and create a vast network of radicalized minds penetrating deep into Indian society, to destabilize the delicate fabric that holds the nation together.

How to define the vector division has been plagued by people. We redefine the fraction , where represents an arbitrary vector, and extend it to discuss the differentiability and integrability of two or more variables function. In this book we directly exploit the definition of derivatives for two variable functions. According to our research, we discover various forms of the Mean Value(Vector) Theorems and the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus for multiple integrals. This book adds a new understanding to the field of multi-variable calculus and thus helps those who are working in the subject.We divide our research into three sections in this book. In Chapter 1, by defining the line derivector and plane derivector, we explain the chain rule for differentiation of multi-variables function, differential and the mean vector theorem. In Chapter 2, we illustrate the formula derivation of i) line derivector for a 2-variable function, ii) line derivatives for 2-variable functi

Nanomaterials possess special mechanical, electrical, and electronic properties. As a result, nanomaterials play a significant role in various nanoelectromechanical systems. Some of these materials include nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanotube resonators, and nanoactuators. These structures are broadly utilized in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. The dynamic analysis of nanostructures is important, because one must have knowledge about the mechanical behaviours to get an accurate prediction of dynamic characteristics. Conducting experiments at the nanoscale size is both complicated and expensive. Therefore, the development of appropriate mathematical models for the study of the dynamic behaviour of nanostructures is important. These models/problems are governed by linear/nonlinear differential equations which are not always possible to solve analytically. This deficiency compels us to search for numerical and computational methods. This book provides a detailed exp

Thousands of shows have opened on Broadway. Why do we remember some and not others? The musical theatre repertory is not composed of titles popular in the theatre but by those with successful cast recordings, movie versions, or even illegal bootlegs on YouTube. The shows audiences know, and the texts and music they expect to hear when they attend a production, are defined by media consumed at home more than by memories of performances witnessed in the theatre. For example, author Doug Reside shows that it is no accident that the serious book musical with a fixed score developed in the 1940s - when commercially pressed and marketed record albums made it possible to record most of the score of a new musical in a fixed medium. And Hamilton, a musical with dense lyrics and revolutionary musical style, would not have been as easily accessible to world audiences if most hadn't already had the opportunity to learn the score by listening to free digital streams of the original cast recording.
