Assembler II: Ein Lernprogramm (Heidelberger Taschenbücher #141)

Als die Computer nach ihren ersten Pionierjahren etwa zwischen 1950 und 1960 in die Praxis Eingang fanden, ließ sich kaum voraussehen, welche Bedeutung einmal der organisatorische Teil einschließlich der Programmierung erlangen würde. Heute wissen wir, daß beim Compu­ tereinsatz die sogenannte »SoftwareHardware«. Auch dabei haben wir ein weites Feld, welches von strengen Theorien bis zu praxisbezogenen Arbeiten reicht. Das vorliegende Buch dient nun voll und ganz dem praktischen Einsatz der Computer. Es gibt ein gutes Bild davon, welche ungeheure Kleinar­ beit zu leisten ist, um die moderne elektronische Datenverarbeitung in Gang zu setzen und in Betrieb zu halten. Das zwingt zu einerneuen Gei­ steshaltung und zu einer strengen Disziplin in der Verwendung von Ideen und Mitteln. Jedes Zeichen, jede Aktion, jede Anweisung muß gut durchdacht sein, und es ist kein Platz für Schwärmerei mit unausgegore­ nen Ideen. So könnte sich die Datenverarbeitung auch über ihr eigenes Arbeitsge­ biet hinaus positiv auswirken und in einer in vieler Hinsicht verworrenen Zeit formend und bildend für die ganze Gesellschaft wirken, indem ihr Geist über eigentliche Fachkreise hinaus wirksam wird. Hünfeld, im August 1973 Konrad Zuse V Vorwort Alle Bereiche aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Technik und Verwaltung be­ dienen sich in der Praxis in zunehmendem Maße der modernen elektroni­ schen Datenverarbeitung.

Assembler IV: Supplement zum Lernprogramm (Heidelberger Taschenbücher #189)

Die posItIve Aufnahme des Lernprogramms im Interessentenkreis gab den Anstoß, es durch Hinzufügen neuer Befehle und Anwendungsbeispie­ le zu erweitern. Damit werden vor allem den primär mit der Assembler­ sprache befaßten Programmierern in der kommerziellen Datenverarbei­ tung zusätzliche Arbeitshilfen geboten und neue Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Assemblers aufgezeigt. Da der erwartete Trend zur Anwendung von problemorientierten Pro­ grammiersprachen vor allem wegen der in jüngster Zeit hinzugekomme­ nen Aufgaben in der Datenfernverarbeitung nicht in dem erwarteten Umfang eingetreten ist, wächst der Bedarf an Assembler-Programmierern noch ständig an. Das vorliegende Komplement zum Lernprogramm trägt diesen Aspekten Rechnung und spiegelt damit auch die Tendenz wider, anlagenunabhängiges und standardisiertes Wissen sowie leicht erlernbare Formalismen weitestgehend in einer zeitgemäßen, dem Lerntempo des einzelnen angepaßten Form zu vermitteln. Die neue AufgabensteIlung hat dazu geführt, für den vorliegenden vierten Teil eine eigene Konzeption zu entwickeln, die sich von der der ersten drei Teile unterscheidet. Neben der Vermittlung weiterer Sprachelemente liegt das Hauptgewicht auf der Anwendung der Assemblersprache beim Lösen zahlreicher einfacher Aufgaben. Die Beispiele wurden so ausgewählt und erläutert, daß sie leicht nachzuvollziehen sind. Auf diese Weise soll der Lernende die Sicherheit gewinnen, die ihm als Anfänger den Weg in die berufliche Praxis erleichtert. Didaktische Überlegungen standen auch diesmal im Vordergrund bei der Auswahl und Darstellung der Assembler­ Sprachelemente. Den Abschluß des vierten Teils bildet ein Codierprakti­ kum, in dem man die erworbenen Kenntnisse an umfangreicheren AufgabensteIlungen erproben kann.

Dieses Buch ist eine praxisgerechte und leichtverständliche Einführung in die Assemblerprogrammierung.

Assemblies and Representation in Languedoc in the Thirteenth Century (PDF)

The author demonstrates that medieval assemblies have a significant history well before the great age of parliaments and Estates. He deals with assemblies, council, and consent, and shows how the older procedures were transformed by the increasingly bureaucratic Capetian governments after the royal conquest of Languedoc in the 13th century.Originally published in 1964.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Assemblies Made Easy (Classmates)

magine you are a mathematics teacher who gave up English and Drama when you were eighteen years old. Faced with writing a mini-production, which must be suitable for both a group of teenagers who want to look cool in front of their peers and teachers who expect a decent plot and a positive outcome, would fill you with dread, panic and stress. Kidwell not only offers practical advise on how to approach assemblies but also a selection of five minute assemblies as examples.

Assemblies of Gold Nanoparticles at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: From Liquid Optics to Electrocatalysis (Springer Theses)

This book is devoted to various aspects of self-assembly of gold nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces and investigation of their properties. It covers primarily two large fields: (i) self-assembly of nanoparticles and optical properties of these assemblies; and (ii) the role of nanoparticles in redox electrocatalysis at liquid-liquid interfaces. The first part aroused from a long-lasting idea to manipulate adsorption of nanoparticles at liquid-liquid with an external electric field to form 'smart' mirrors and/or filters. Therefore, Chapters 3 to 5 are dedicated to explore fundamental aspects of charged nanoparticles self-assembly and to investigate optical properties (extinction and reflectance) in a through manner. Novel tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-assisted method leads to self-assembly of nanoparticles into cm-scale nanofilms or, so-called, metal liquid-like droplets (MeLLDs) with remarkable optical properties. The second part (Chapters 6 to 8) clarifies the role of nanoparticles in interfacial electron transfer reactions. They demonstrate how nanoparticles are charged and discharged upon equilibration of Fermi levels with redox couples in solution and how it can be used to perform HER and ORR. Finally, Chapter 9 gives a perspective outlook, including applications of suggested methods in fast, one-step preparation of colloidosomes, SERS substrates as well as pioneer studies on so-called Marangony-type shutters drive by the electric field.

Assembling a Collaborative Project Team: Practical tools including Multidisciplinary Schedules of Services

Contemporary construction practice presents a shift in emphasis from thinking about the design team in isolation, to considering the project team as a collaborative whole: client, design team, and contractor. This approach requires greater consideration of how the project team is procured and assembled – and Assembling a Collaborative Project Team provides a range of in-depth and invaluable methods for ensuring that this essential task is carried out effectively. It will bring a range of benefits to any project – from facilitating BIM-ready teams, to better construction programming, and reducing risk through ensuring a watertight contractual framework. Many of the methods presented here are likely to become ingrained in the way all projects are coordinated. It shows that the best way of assembling a collaborative team is by establishing the team at the outset in manner that ensures that each party is fully aware of what they need to do and when, and by agreeing how this will be achieved.

Assembling and Governing Habits (CRESC)

The increasing significance of managing or changing habits is evident across a range of pressing contemporary issues: climate change, waste management, travel practices, and crowd control. Assembling and Governing Habits engages with the diverse ways in which habits are governed through the knowledge practices and technologies that have been brought to bear on them. The volume addresses three main concerns. The first focuses on how the habit discourses proposed by a range of disciplines have informed the ways in which different forms of expertise have shaped the ways in which habits have been managed or changed to bring about specific social objectives. The second concerns the ways in which habits are acted on as aspects of infrastructures which constitute the interfaces through which technical systems, human conducts and environments are acted on simultaneously. The third concerns the specific ways in which habit discourses and habit infrastructures are brought together in the regulation of ‘city habits’: that is, habits which have specific qualities arising out of the specific conditions – the rhythms and densities – of urban life and ones which, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been profoundly disrupted. Written in a clear and direct style, the book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in cultural studies, sociology, cultural geography, history of the sciences, and posthuman studies.

Assembling and Governing the Higher Education Institution: Democracy, Social Justice and Leadership in Global Higher Education (Palgrave Studies in Global Citizenship Education and Democracy)

This book emphasizes the inherently democratic nature of education; from those who practice in higher education institutions and are involved in decision-making, to those questioning the methods of reform processes in those institutions. As they are faced with increasing pressures to restructure and change their organizations in line with global institutional demands the foundations upon which their leadership and governance are based are called into question. This book takes a critical approach to understanding higher education leadership and governance. The overarching questions asked in this book are: how has higher education come to be assembled in contemporary governance practices within the context of global demands for reform and how are issues of justice being taken up as part of and in resistance to this assemblage?

Assembling and Supplying the ISS: The Space Shuttle Fulfills Its Mission (Springer Praxis Books)

The creation and utilization of the International Space Station (ISS) is a milestone in space exploration. But without the Space Shuttle, it would have remained an impossible dream. Assembling and Supplying the ISS is the story of how, between 1998 and 2011, the Shuttle became the platform which enabled the construction and continued operation of the primary scientific research facility in Earth orbit. Fulfilling an objective it had been designed to complete decades before, 37 Shuttle missions carried the majority of the hardware needed to build the ISS and then acted as a ferry and supply train for early resident crews to the station. Building upon the decades of development and experience described in the companion volume Linking the Space Shuttle and Space Stations: Early Docking Technologies from Concept to Implementation, this book explores • a purpose-built hardware processing facility • challenging spacewalking objectives • extensive robotic operations • undocking a unmanned orbiter The experience and expertise gained through these missions allows space planners to improve space construction skills in advance of even more ambitious plans in the future.

Assembling Archaeology: Teaching, Practice, and Research

Assembling Archaeology provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging, and practicing as an archaeologist in the 21st century. The issues addressed here are global and applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced, and researched. At its heart this book addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of archaeological teaching, training, and practice by advocating a holistic 'assemblage' approach which challenges traditional power structures and the global marketization of the higher education system. Drawing on insights from archaeology's current material turn, this book approaches the discipline as a subject of investigation and offers a new perspective founded upon the notion of the learning assemblage, which resituates teaching and learning as a central focus and contributes to broader discourses on critical pedagogy and rhizomatic learning. It ultimately argues for a robust archaeological pedagogy that is rooted in and emergent from the material realities of the profession, and will be valuable to everyone from academia to Cultural Resource Management (CRM), heritage professional to undergraduate student.

Assembling Çatalhöyük (Themes in Contemporary Archaeology)

"Assembling Çatalhöyük, like archaeological remains, can be read in a number of ways. At one level the volume reports on the exciting new discoveries and advances that are being made in the understanding of the 9000 year-old Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük. The site has long been central to debates about early village societies and the formation of mega-sites in the Middle East. The current long-term project has made many advances in our understanding of the site that impact our wider understanding of the Neolithic and its spread into Europe from the Middle East. These advances concern use of the environment, climate change, subsistence practices, social and economic organization, the role of religion, ritual and symbolism. At another level, the volume reports on methodological advances that have been made by team members, including the development of reflexive methods, paperless recording on site, the integrated use of 3D visualization, and interactive archives. The long-term nature of the project allows these various innovations to be evaluated and critiqued. In particular, the volume includes analyses of the social networks that underpin the assembling of data, and documents the complex ways in which arguments are built within quickly transforming alliances and allegiances within the team. In particular, the volume explores how close inter-disciplinarity, and the assembling of different forms of data from different sub-disciplines, allow the weaving together of information into robust, distributed arguments."

Assembling Comparison: Understanding Education Policy through Mobilities and Assemblage

This book combines assemblage theory and policy mobilities to inform the study of comparative and international education (CIE), focusing on education policy and how such policy moves are enacted. These approaches challenge taken-for granted and universalizing concepts in policy research and policy work in CIE – such as the nation-state, policy making/policy enactment, global/local, Global North/Global South – and highlight how policy is contingent on emerging through complex relations between people and places. Using illustrative cases drawn from research and practice in CIE and education development, the book demonstrates how these ideas can be used in the analysis of policy and the application of this approach in real life.

Assembling Consumption: Researching actors, networks and markets

Assembling Consumption marks a definitive step in the institutionalisation of qualitative business research. By gathering leading scholars and educators who study markets, marketing and consumption through the lenses of philosophy, sociology and anthropology, this book clarifies and applies the investigative tools offered by assemblage theory, actor-network theory and non-representational theory. Clear theoretical explanation and methodological innovation, alongside empirical applications of these emerging frameworks will offer readers new and refreshing perspectives on consumer culture and market societies. This is an essential reading for both seasoned scholars and advanced students of markets, economies and social forms of consumption.
