Art and text in ancient Greek culture

Abstract: These specially commissioned essays offer a radical and fresh appraisal of how ancient Greek art was looked at, written about and discussed in antiquity. The first section focuses on fifth-century culture, examining painted pottery, architecture and sculpture, and theatrical uses of set-piece descriptions. The second section turns to Hellenistic culture and literary artists' self-conscious exploration of new conditions of viewing and writing about viewing in epigrams, books on travel, and accounts of imaginary museums.

Cognitive Radio Architecture

Abstract: This chapter develops five complementary perspectives of cognitive radio architecture (CRA), called CRA-I through CRA-V, each building on the previous in capability. Architecture is driven top-down by market needs and bottom-up by available, affordable technologies. Taking the top-down perspective requires some attention to the use cases that the functions are intended to realize. This chapter therefore reviews the substantial changes in use cases that drive cognitive wireless architecture. Often technical architectures of the kind accelerate the state of practice by catalyzing work across the industry on plug-and-play, teaming, and collaboration. The thought is that to propel wireless technology from limited spectrum awareness toward valuable user awareness, an architecture is needed. The CRA articulates the functions, components, and design rules of next-generation stand-alone and embedded wireless devices and networks.

Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design

Abstract: Components You may find it strange that we would create a component—in this example, UService—that contains nothing but an interface. Such a component contains no executable code! It turns out, however, that this is a very common, and necessary, tactic when using statically typed languages like Java and C#. These abstract components are very stable and, therefore, are ideal targets for less stable components to depend on. When using dynamically typed languages like Ruby and Python, these abstract components don’t exist at all, nor do the dependencies that would

The Book of Bamboo

Abstract: Bamboo is the oldest, most remarkable resource on the planet, used for thousands of years to make a vast array of items - from basic necessities such as clothing and housing to more exotic and luxurious objects like acupuncture needles, sedan chairs and musical instruments. This practical and historical guide to the versatile and plentiful wood contains a series of chapters covering subjects as diverse as shelter, architecture, cultivation and 1000 things made of bamboo. It discusses the plant's biology and life cycle, offers tips on harvesting and planting and describes lore about this ancient wood. It argues that bamboo is an abundant resource that could replace many of the less sustainable materials now commonly used in our daily lives.
