Philosophisch-Historische Klasse)This edited volume with 16 original contributions is devoted to early, 10th-13th-century Buddhist monuments of historical Western Tibet. The results are, on the one hand, based on in-depth interdisciplinary field studies in Ladakh, Spiti, Kinnaur, Tsamda und Purang (today partly on Chinese, partly on Indian territory), and on the other hand on the critical edition and analysis of hitherto unknown or inaccessible historiographical texts, including works by Guge Paita Drakpa Gyaltsen (1415-1486/98), which are dedicated partly to the foundation phase of the West Tibetan kingdom and to the royal monk Yeshe Ö (947-1019), the leading religio-political figure in Western Tibet in the 10th/11th century. Preceded by an outline of macro-historical developments in Western Tibet from the 7th to the 15th century, the studies focus on the archaeology, architecture, art history and foundation phase of the monastery of Nyarma (10th century) (Ladakh), in addition on stelae in Purang and Tsamda dating to the 9th and 10th centuries, newly discovered murals at Tabo monastery in Spiti, illuminated Prajñpramit MSS from Tabo and Pooh (in Upper Kinnaur), as well as wall-paintings and accompanying inscriptions in the Zhag cave temple (Tsamda) from the 13th century. This volume contributes significantly to the wider and deeper understanding of the religious, cultural, political and social developments of the entire West Tibetan language area, in particular during the formative phases of the West Tibetan kingdom from the 10th to the 13th centuries.Denkschriften (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften.

The media frequently report on cases of food contamination as well as on the risks of hormones and cloning. Journalists, documentary filmmakers, and activists have had their say, but until now a survey of the latest research on the history of the modern food-provisioning system-the network that connects farms and fields to supermarkets and the dining table-has been unavailable. In Food Chains, Warren Belasco and Roger Horowitz present a collection of fascinating case studies that reveal the historical underpinnings and institutional arrangements that compose this system.The dozen essays in Food Chains range widely in subject, from the pig, poultry, and seafood industries to the origins of the shopping cart. The book examines what it took to put ice in nineteenth-century refrigerators, why Soviet citizens could buy ice cream whenever they wanted, what made Mexican food popular in France, and why Americans turned to commercial pet food in place of table scraps for their dogs and cats. Food Chains goes behind the grocery shelves, explaining why Americans in the early twentieth century preferred to buy bread rather than make it and how Southerners learned to like self-serve shopping. Taken together, these essays demonstrate the value of a historical perspective on the modern food-provisioning system.Hagley perspectives on business and culture.Food industry and tradeFood supplyFood consumptionFoodMarketingConsumers' preferencesAmerican History.American Studies.Business.Economics.History.Food industry and trade.Food supply.Food consumption.FoodMarketing.Consumers' preferences.381/.41Belasco Warren James1479210Horowitz Roger1464532MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788510303321Food chains3844864UNINA05294nam 2200721 a 450 991100482710332120090902113618.01-61583-707-80-8194-7880-610.1117/3.415727(CKB)2470000000003002(EBL)3035187(SSID)ssj0000386800(PQKBManifestationID)11232052(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000386800(PQKBWorkID)10400513(PQKB)11480496(MiAaPQ)EBC3035187(WaSeSS)Ind00029421(OCoLC)435971860(CaBNVSL)gtp00535478(SPIE)9780819478801(PPN)237326566(EXLCZ)99247000000000300220090824e20012004 fy 0engurbn||||m|||atxtccrOptical imaging and aberrationsPart IIWave diffraction optics /Virendra N.

Numerical results in aberrated imaging have been emphasized to maximize the practical use of the material. This new, second printing includes a number of updates and corrections to the first printing. Beginning with a description of the diffraction theory of image formation, the book describes both aberration-free and aberrated imaging by optical systems with circular, annular, or Gaussian pupils. As in part I, the primary aberrations are emphasized. Their effects on Strehl, Hopkins, and Struve ratios are discussed in detail. The balanced aberrations are identified with Zernike polynomials appropriate for each type of system. Imaging in the presence of random aberrations is also discussed that includes the effects of image motion and propagation through atmospheric turbulence. Each chapter ends with a set of practical problems.SPIE Press monograph ;PM103.Wave diffraction opticsAberrationGeometrical opticsImaging systemsAberration.Geometrical optics.Imaging systems.621.36Mahajan Virendra N.1822013Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers.DLCDLCCaBNVSLBOOK9911004827103321Optical imaging and aberrations4390732UNINA
