This is the first in-depth, English-language history of modern Serbia in nearly half a century. It covers the period from the Serbian state's revolutionary rebirth in the early nineteenth century, under the rebel leaders Karadorde Petrovic and Milo? Obrenovic; its turbulent history of wars, uprisings and dynastic rivalries; the triumph of Yugoslav unification in 1918; and the catastrophe of occupation by Nazi Germany in 1941. It shows how the birth of the modern nation-state involved the creation of a new elite-dynasty, army and bureaucracy-whose rule over the peasantry generated a popular resistance that would ultimately take form in Nikola Pa?ic's mighty People's Radical Party. The resulting struggle between elitist Westernisers and pro- Russian populists became entwined with the struggle for pan-Serb and Yugoslav liberation and unification. These causes came together with the Sarajevo assassination of 1914, which triggered the First World War. Existing histories of the Yugoslav kingdom that emerged from that war focus on the national conflict between Serbs, Croats, Bosnian Muslims and others, but Marko Attila Hoare challenges this narrative. He shows how the new kingdom's politics continued to be dominated by the ongoing internal Serbian power struggle, bringing renewed disaster to Yugoslavia and its peoples.
The story of the Bosnian Muslims in World War II is an epic frequently alluded to in discussions of the 1990s Balkan conflicts, but almost as frequently misunderstood or falsified. This first comprehensive study of the topic in any language sets the record straight. Based on extensive research in the archives of Bosnia- Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia, it traces the history of Bosnia and its Muslims from the Nazi German and Fascist Italian occupation of Yugoslavia in 1941, through the years of the Yugoslav civil war, and up to the seizure of power by the Communists and their establishment of a new Yugoslav state. The book explores the reasons for Muslim opposition to the new order established by the Nazis and Fascists in Bosnia in 1941 and the different forms this opposition took. It de- scribes how the Yugoslav Communists were able to harness part of this Muslim opposition to support their own resistance movement and revolutionary bid for power. This Muslim element in the Communists' revolution shaped its form and outcome, but ultimately had itself to be curbed as the victorious Communists consolidated their dictatorship. In doing so, they set the scene for future struggles over Yugoslavia's Muslim question.
We introduce new methods connecting numerics and symbolic computations, i.e., both the direct and iterative methods as well as the symbolic method for computing the generalized inverses. These will be useful for Engineers and Statisticians, in addition to applied mathematicians.Also, main applications of generalized inverses will be presented. Symbolic method covered in our book but not discussed in other book, which is important for numerical-symbolic computations.
Thermomechanics of Solids and Structures: Physical Mechanisms, Continuum Mechanics, and Applications covers kinematics, balance equations, the strict thermodynamic frameworks of thermoelasticity, thermoplasticity, creep covering constitutive equations, the physical mechanisms of deformation, along with computational aspects. The book concludes with coverage of the thermodynamics of solids and applications of the constitutive three-dimensional model to both one-dimensional homogeneous and composite beam structures. Practical applications of the theories and techniques covered are emphasized throughout the book, with analytical solutions provided for various problems. - Provides foundational knowledge on continuum mechanics, covering kinematics, balance equations, isothermal elasticity and plasticity, variational principles, and more - Presents applications of constitutive 3D models to homogeneous and composite beams, including equations for stress and displacement estimation in thermoelastic beam problems - Reviews experimental results of thermoelastic material behavior, along with case studies to support reviews - Covers the inelastic behavior of materials at elevated temperatures, with experimental results for both monotonic and cyclic tensile tests presented - Looks at the physical mechanisms, experimental results, and constitutive modeling of creep
Modern Buddhism in today's World. Values of humans, spirituality and religion, controversies about religion, religion from scientific way is the main aim of this book. To show deference between old and new values of human race.
Book is written from view of autor on spiritual way of life, self-knowledge, our higher being. Proposal and ways we could go in our life's listening to ourselves.
The central role that the regime of Slobodan Milošević played in the bloody dissolution of Yugoslavia is well known, but Marko Živković explores another side of this time period: the stories people in Serbia were telling themselves (and others) about themselves. Živković traces the recurring themes, scripts, and narratives that permeated public discourse in Milošević's Serbia, as Serbs described themselves as Gypsies or Jews, violent highlanders or peaceful lowlanders, and invoked their own mythologized defeat at the Battle of Kosovo. The author investigates national narratives, the use of tradition for political purposes, and local idioms, paying special attention to the often bizarre and outlandish tropes people employed to make sense of their social reality. He suggests that the enchantments of political life under Milošević may be fruitfully seen as a dreambook of Serbian national imaginary.
Yugoslavia's diverse and interconnected art scenes from the 1960s to the 1980s, linked to the country's experience with socialist self-management. In Yugoslavia from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, state-supported Student Cultural Centers became incubators for new art. This era's conceptual and performance art--known as Yugoslavia's New Art Practice--emerged from a network of diverse and densely interconnected art scenes that nurtured the early work of Marina Abramovi&ć, Sanja Ivekovi&ć, Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), and others. In this book, Marko Ili&ć offers the first comprehensive examination of the New Art Practice, linking it to Yugoslavia's experience with socialist self-management and the political upheavals of the 1980s.
This illuminating text/reference reviews the fundamentals of programming for effective DataFlow computing. The DataFlow paradigm enables considerable increases in speed and reductions in power consumption for supercomputing processes, yet the programming model requires a distinctly different approach. The algorithms and examples showcased in this book will help the reader to develop their understanding of the advantages and unique features of this methodology. This work serves as a companion title to DataFlow Supercomputing Essentials: Research, Development and Education, which analyzes the latest research in this area, and the training resources available. Topics and features: presents an implementation of Neural Networks using the DataFlow paradigm, as an alternative to the traditional ControlFlow approach; discusses a solution to the three-dimensional Poisson equation, using the Fourier method and DataFlow technology; examines how the performance of the Binary Search algorithm can be improved through implementation on a DataFlow architecture; reviews the different way of thinking required to best configure the DataFlow engines for the processing of data in space flowing through the devices; highlights how the DataFlow approach can efficiently support applications in big data analytics, deep learning, and the Internet of Things. This indispensable volume will benefit all researchers interested in supercomputing in general, and DataFlow computing in particular. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students involved in courses on Data Mining, Microprocessor Systems, and VLSI Systems, will also find the book to be an invaluable resource.
