Toward a New Historicist Methodology -- NOTES -- INDEXVital Signs offers both a compelling reinterpretation of the nineteenth-century novel and a methodological challenge to literary historians. Rejecting theories that equate realism with representation, Lawrence Rothfield argues that literary history forms a subset of the history of discourses and their attendant practices. He shows how clinical medicine provided Balzac, Flaubert, Eliot, and others with narrative strategies, epistemological assumptions, and models of professional authority. He also traces the linkages between medicine's eventual decline in scientific and social status and realism's displacement by naturalism, detective fiction, and modernism.Literature in history (Princeton, N.J.)English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismMedicine in literatureFrench fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismComparative literatureEnglish and FrenchComparative literatureFrench and EnglishPhysicians in literatureRealism in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Medicine in literature.French fictionHistory and criticism.Comparative literatureEnglish and French.Comparative literatureFrench and English.Physicians in literature.Realism in literature.823/.809356Rothfield Lawrence1956-220998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782729103321Vital signs567974UNINA04948nam 2200709 a 450 991102014340332120200520144314.0978661390527797812835928261283592827978111849175111184917509781118491492111849149197811184915151118491513(CKB)2670000000237806(EBL)1010501(SSID)ssj0000715312(PQKBManifestationID)11400806(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000715312(PQKBWorkID)10700857(PQKB)10551148(MiAaPQ)EBC1010501(OCoLC)809212843(Perlego)1011239(EXLCZ)99267000000023780620101001d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBasic statistical tools for improving quality /Chang W.

There are numerous technical manuals available for SPC, but this book differs in two ways: (1) the basic tools of SPC are introduced in a no-nonsense, simple, non-math manner, and (2) the methods can be learned and practiced in an uncomplicated fashion using free software (eZ SPC 2.0), which is available to all readers online as a downloadable product. The book explains QC7 Tools, control charts, and statistical analysis including basic design of experiments. Theoretical explanations of the analytical methods are avoided; instead, results are interpreted through the use of the software"--Provided by publisher.Process controlStatistical methodsQuality controlStatistical methodsAcceptance samplingProcess controlStatistical methods.Quality controlStatistical methods.Acceptance sampling.658.5/62TEC032000bisacshKang Chang W(Chang Wok),1957-1837965Kvam Paul H.1962-447854MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911020143403321Basic statistical tools for improving quality4416836UNINA
