Sommario/riassunto

German philosopher and social critic Theodor Adorno is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers. Forced out of Nazi Germany because of his Jewish heritage, Adorno lived in exile in the US for nearly fifteen years. Shannon Mariotti explores how this extended visit prompted a concern for and commitment to democracy that shaped his work.

Sommario/riassunto

This book walks the developer through the process of tailoring their apps in order to appeal to a global market. Microsoft MVP Chris Miller steps you through the process of enabling multiple language support, while using a single shared set of language resources using the .NET Framework. .NET makes it easy to support multiple languages and cultures. Starting with a simple mobile application, the author demonstrates how to adapt it for the Android, iOS, and Windows platforms, showing how to handle the localization with resource files and how to handle internationalization on each platform. Readers will learn how to test the application for the localization support and how to avoid common pitfalls. Using Xamarin.Forms and Visual Studio, the app will be implemented for Android, iOS, and Windows 10 UWP and 99% of the code will be shared across the platforms.

Sommario/riassunto

This book makes a contribution to the formulation and implementation of production cost models for the modelling of liberalized electricity markets by addressing issues associated with the level of detail in the representation of the underlying power system, the accuracy of the results and the modelling effort. To this end a production cost model was formulated and applied to estimate the short-run marginal cost of the power systems of three important European electricity markets.
