Описание:
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decade. This long-awaited revision contains changes throughout the text. There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming. There are new example sections on higher-order procedures in graphics and on applications of stream processing in numerical programming, and many new exercises. In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in any Scheme implementation that adheres to the IEEE standard.

Описание: Human migration has reached an unprecedented level, and the numbers are expected to continue growing into the foreseeable future. Host societies and migrants face challenges in ensuring that the benefits of migration accrue to both parties, and that economic and socio-cultural costs are minimized. An insightful comparative examination of the policies and practices that manage and support immigrants to Canada and the United States, Twenty-First-Century Immigration to North America identifies and addresses issues that arose in the early years of the twenty-first century and considers what to expect in the years ahead. The volume begins with an overview of immigration policies and practices in Canada and the United States, then moves to an investigation of the economic and socio-cultural aspects, and concludes with a dialogue on precarious migration. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the editors include research from the areas of psychology, political science, economics, sociology, and public policy. Underscoring the complicated nature of immigration, this collection aims to foster further discussion and inspire future research in Canada and the United States.

Описание: Daring new theories of masculinity, built from a large and geographically diverse interview study of transgender men American masculinity is being critiqued, questioned, and reinterpreted for a new era. In Men in Place Miriam J. Abelson makes an original contribution to this conversation through in-depth interviews with trans men in the U.S. West, Southeast, and Midwest, showing how the places and spaces men inhabit are fundamental to their experiences of race, sexuality, and gender.Men in Place explores the shifting meanings of being a man across cities and in rural areas. Here Abelson develops the insight that individual men do not have one way to be masculine-rather, their ways of being men shift between different spaces and places. She reveals a widespread version of masculinity that might be summed up as “strong when I need to be, soft when I need to be,” using the experiences of trans men to highlight the fundamental construction of manhood for all men.With an eye to how societal institutions promote homophobia, transphobia, and racism, Men in Place argues that race and sexuality fundamentally shape safety for men, particularly in rural spaces, and helps us to better understand the ways that gender is created and enforced.

Описание: ITAMOrg(R) IT Hardware Asset Management Certifications is suitable for individuals wanting to demonstrate they have achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor the Hardware Asset Management practices. Hardware Asset Management (HAM) is important for every organization. Management and control of hardware influences the risk on most asset types such as Software, Cloud & Services and People and Information assets. E.g., if you are not in control of what hardware is in use it is not possible for you to control your software which will result in software license in-compliance and other risks.The Hardware Asset Management Specialist Certification brings participants IT Service Management best practices together with Hardware Asset Management best practices. This will help an organization to implement Hardware Asset Management lifecycle processes and showing how IT Service Management can support HAM lifecycles to be in control and support the other Asset types.The purpose of the ITAMOrg Hardware Asset Management Specialist (HAMS) course and certification is to provide knowledge on best practices and use of Hardware Asset Management (HAM) in the challenges that Hardware Asset Managers face on a daily basis. This certification is based on a practical approach to strengthen the participants understanding of how ISO 55000 and IT Service Management best practice relates to everyday use of HAM, Hardware standards, Hardware lifecycle control, control of retirement and disposal and organizational issues that saturates many businesses in today`s digital world.This Courseware is suited for the ITAMOrg(R) 2020 HAM exam. There is also a sample exam added of the ITAMOrg(R) 2020 Hardware Asset Management in case the participant prefers to refresh its knowledge. The Exam is delivered in English.

Описание: 'Release Your Kinetic Chain with Exercises for the Jaw to Shoulder' can help you to rapidly rehabilitate and heal and restore the tissues of your head, jaw, neck, shoulders and core with its intelligently designed, easy-to-follow exercise routines It is an ideal tool if you suffer from headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, or shoulder pain. Written for the general public, by the internationally best-selling authors of 'Release Your Pain', this book features 240 black and white pages of information, illustrations, and exercises. ================================= ACTIVATE YOUR KINETIC CHAIN ================================= The exercise routines in this book activate your entire 'kinetic chain', from your jaw to your shoulder, and even into your core You can use these routines to recover from injuries to the jaw, neck, or shoulder, including: -TMJ- Tempromandibular Joint Disorder -Injuries to the soft tissues of the jaw, neck, or shoulder -Whiplash -Headaches -Neck Pain -Rotator Cuff Injuries -Shoulder Pain ================================= WHY EXERCISE FOR REHABILITATION? ================================= If you suffer from jaw, neck, or shoulder pain, your physician may recommend exercise as part of your treatment. But which exercise? How do you find exercises that help to resolve your condition? For example, with a jaw injury, exercising just the jaw muscles won't resolve your problem. In fact, it may even make the pain worse. This is often because all the surrounding muscles and tissues are also restricted or injured - but may not be exhibiting pain syndromes. These structures may even be the cause of the pain in your jaw ======================== WHAT'S DIFFERENT ======================== Rather than working with only the single area of injury, the exercise routines in this book treat your body as a dynamic web of interconnected links - a kinetic chain. The exercise programs in the 'Release Your Kinetic Chain' books use step-by-step routines that take into consideration kinetic chain relationships, tissue interactions, core imbalances, elastic power, and aerobic training. We strive to give you a balanced means of achieving a good strong body that is injury-free. Since injury or weakness in one area of your body always affects the function of numerous other related areas, we designed our routines to take into account direct muscular connections, muscle antagonists, fascial connections, as well as the fact that tissue restrictions often affect the primary mechanisms of energy storage and release. =============================================== RESOLVE NEURO-MUSCULAR AND SOFT-TISSUE INJURIES =============================================== Developed by the internationally best-selling authors of 'Release Your Pain ', these exercise routines - when performed on their own, or when combined with a treatment modality - will help you to take a key step towards resolving long-standing neuromuscular problems and soft-tissue injuries.

HOW CAN THIS BOOK HELP YOU?
People often try to use exercise to resolve conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, hand pain, wrist pain, arm pain, or shoulder pain. However, poorly selected exercises can actually aggravate the problem In fact, many exercises can actually cause new injuries.
This book focuses on giving you carefully constructed exercise routines that progressively increase muscular endurance, improve neurological motor control, and address all the key elements of your kinetic chain Use this book's unique 3-phase approach to address all the kinetic chain structures, rather than just the "site of pain." You will:
Rehabilitate your body after an injury.
Prepare your body for sport or athletic performance training.
Work with a "pain-free" zone for the Beginner and Intermediate routines.
Use the Advanced routines to transition you into the Performance or Athletic arenas.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTIVATING YOUR KINETIC CHAIN
What's a kinetic chain? Visualize the kinetic chain as a layered, inter-connected, multi-level spider web. In your body, this web is made up of soft-tissue fibers - muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and connective tissue.
A knot, break, or dysfunction in any layer of this web impacts all the surrounding connections, as well as the structures in the layers above and below the injured area. Restrictions can form in one or more of these layers from your injury. Treating or exercising just the "point of pain"obviously will not solve the whole problem. It is necessary to also address all the other layers, structures, and issues...that is...the kinetic web
Rather than working with only the single area of injury, the exercise routines in this book treat your body as a dynamic web of interconnected links - a kinetic chain. Use these routines to recover from injuries such as:
Hand pain caused by stiffness, overuse, or injury.
Carpal Tunnel and other related nerve entrapment syndromes.
Tennis or Golfer's Elbow.
Shoulder pain caused by stress, trauma, or repetitive strain.
Wrist Pain
Tendonitis of the arm or elbow.
Other soft-tissue injuries to the tissues of the hand, arm, or shoulder.
