The Shoestring Letters - A Tribute to the Immigrant

By: Edgar Madsen

Retrieved from under a thatched roof in Denmark, long-forgotten letters inspire this illustrated account of the Danish-American immigrant community's history, heritage and grit. One letter, written on board [of] the ship bringing a young family to America in 1928, tells what the voyage was really like. Other letters give firsthand accounts of life in Denmark and America. Letters from the Great Depression lament hopes dashed by broken economics on both sides of the Atlantic. Trials and triumphs of World War II are recalled, including Denmark's finest hour in 1943. Over here, immigrants sent their sons and daughters to war while joining hands to relieve post-war suffering over there. After fulling embracing the American way of life, one immigrant offers a touching tribute to all who ventured to America from their homeland. This book concludes with his rendition, in verse, of Hans Christian Anderson's Tin Soldier fairy tale, and four Scandinavian songs of faith."--Page 4 of cover.

Optimum Vitamin Nutrition for More Sustainable Swine Farming

By: Edgar Oviedo-Rondon,Clemente López-Bote,Gilberto Litta,José-María Hernandez

Food production, particularly animal protein production, is changing. While productivity, efficiency and food quality continue to be of vital importance, there is increasing pressure on producers to prioritize sustainability and animal health and welfare as well minimize food waste. Optimizing vitamin nutrition can help make animal production more sustainable by optimizing animal health and welfare and animal performance and food quality, while reducing food waste. Optimum Vitamin Nutrition for More Sustainable Swine Farming contains concise, up-to-date information on vitamin nutrition for swine. This book, which follows the authoritative Optimum Vitamin Nutrition in the Production of Quality Animal Foods (5m Books, 2013), is a reference for research and extension specialists who need the most current, research-based information on vitamins in swine. This book is part of a series covering Optimum Vitamin Nutrition in poultry, ruminants and aquaculture.

Numerical Modelling in Robotics

By: Edgar Alonso Martínez García

Modern robotic systems are tied to operate autonomously in real-world environments performing a variety of complex tasks. Autonomous robots must rely on fundamental capabilities such as locomotion, trajectory tracking control, multi-sensor fusion, task/path planning, navigation, and real-time perception. Combining this knowledge is essential to design rolling, walking, aquatic, and hovering robots that sense and self-control. This book contains a mathematical modelling framework to support the learning of modern robotics and mechatronics, aimed at advanced undergraduates or first-year PhD students, as well as researchers and practitioners. The volume exposes a solid understanding of mathematical methods as a common modelling framework to properly interpret advanced robotic systems. Including numerical approximations, solution of linear and non-linear systems of equations, curves fitting, differentiation and integration of functions. The book is suitable for courses on robotics, mechatronics, sensing models, vehicles design and control, modelling, simulation, and mechanisms analysis. It is organised with 17 chapters divided in five parts that conceptualise classical mechanics to model a wide variety of applied robotics. It comprehends a hover-craft, an amphibious hexapod, self-reconfiguration and under-actuation of rolling and passive walking robots with Hoekens, Klann, and Jansen limbs for bipedal, quadruped, and octapod robots.

A New Bibliography of Writings on Varieties of English, 19841992/93

By: Beat Glauser,Edgar W. Schneider,Manfred Görlach

The continuing expansion of research in dialectology, sociolinguistics and English as a world language has made the field increasingly difficult to survey. This bibliography is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant publications of the past few years. Like its predecessor, it will prove an indispensable reference book. The collection is in four parts, dealing respectively with general studies, Britain and Ireland, the United States and Canada, and the rest of the world. There is a joint index in which the 2800 entries are classified according to specific areas, ethnic groups and major linguistic categories, thus making the bibliography easy to use with the greatest profit. The present bibliography complements the one compiled by W. Viereck, E.W. Schneider and M. Görlach, which covered the period from 1965 to 1983 and was published in the same series in 1984.

Mexico And Mexico City In The World Economy

By: Edgar W Butler,James B Pick,W. James Hettrick

To understand contemporary Mexico, it is absolutely necessary to examine its level of development, and its relationship with the rest of the world. The level of development will, most likely, be related to the world system network, although the concepts are not identical. In Understanding Mexico and Mexico City in the World Economy, the authors aim to determine Mexico's level of development, and how Mexico fits into the world system.Through their research, the authors provide outcomes that will develop a more refined world systems approach. The book features cluster analyses of Mexican economic development levels, sector case studies including specific spatial analyses and maps of trends in Mexico, a systematic theoretic framework encompassing levels of the world, national, and local areas, and recent data presented through maps, tables, charts, and statistical summaries. The text will prove to be useful and practical for researchers, academics, and others interested in Mexico and its international linkages.

Optimum Vitamin Nutrition for More Sustainable Ruminant Farming

By: Sergio Calsamiglia,Edgar Oviedo-Rondon,Luis Tamassia,Gilberto Litta,José-María Hernandez

Food production, particularly animal protein production, is ever evolving. In adaptation to change, producers are required to push the boundaries of productivity, efficiency, and the minimization of food waste by driving increasing standards in animal health and welfare, sustainability, and food quality. Optimizing vitamin nutrition is a valuable tool enabling a more sustainable beef and dairy production by enhancing animal welfare, robustness, performance and reducing food waste by improved product quality. Optimum Vitamin Nutrition for More Sustainable Ruminant Farming contains concise, up-to-date information on vitamin nutrition for ruminants. This book, which follows the authoritative Optimum Vitamin Nutrition in the Production of Quality Animal Foods (5m Books, 2013), is a reference for research and extension specialists who need the most current, research-based information on vitamins in ruminants. This book is the fourth of a series of books covering Optimum Vitamin Nutrition in poultry, swine and aquaculture.

Dracula in Visual Media

Film, Television, Comic Book and Electronic Game Appearances, 1921-2010

By: John Edgar Browning,Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart

This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world's most famous vampire, with more than 700 citations of domestic and international Dracula films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker's original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each. The book includes contributions from Dacre Stoker, David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Dodd Alley, Mitch Frye, Ian Holt, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, and J. Gordon Melton.
