The theme of the volume ? Birth and Death ? is one with particular resonance for nineteenth-century French studies, since the nineteenth century is commonly perceived as an age of new life and renovation. It is the epoch that witnessed an efflorescence of industrial and artistic progress, the birth of the individual and the birth of the novel, and the creation of an urban population in the major demographic shift from the rural provinces to Paris. At the same time, however, it is the century of Decadence and degeneration theory, marked by a prominent morbid aesthetic in the artistic sphere and a fascination with criminality, moral decay and the pathologization of racial and sexual minorities in the scientific discourses. It is also the century in which reflection on processes of artistic creation begins to problematize concepts of mimetic representation, the function of the author and the status of the text. In the context of the dialectical quality of nineteenth-century French culture, caught between an obsession with the new and innovative and a paranoid sense of its own encroaching decay, the twin themes of birth and death open onto a variety of issues ? literary, social, historical, artistic ? which are explored, interrogated and reassessed in the essays contained in this volume. 410 0$aFaux titre ;$vno. 301. 606 $aChildbirth in literature 606 $aDeath in literature 606 $aFrench literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aWomen in literature 607 $aFrance$xCivilization$y19th century$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChildbirth in literature. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a392.1209 701 $aHarkness$b Nigel$f1967-$0952300 712 02$aSociety of Dix-Neuvie?mistes.$bAnnual Conference$d(3rd :$f2005 :$eBelfast, Northern Ireland) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452079003321 996 $aBirth and death in nineteenth-century French culture$92152747 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05487nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910830670703321 005 20170815165036.0 010 $a1-118-55775-1 010 $a1-118-58657-3 010 $a1-299-27736-5 010 $a1-118-58659-X 035 $a(CKB)2560000000099411 035 $a(EBL)1143597 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000834349 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11966446 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000834349 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10980946 035 $a(PQKB)11102067 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1143597 035 $a(OCoLC)830161723 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781118586570 035 $a(PPN)175192979 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000099411 100 $a20101013d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aUltra-wide band antennas$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Xavier Begaud 205 $a1st edition 210 $aLondon $cISTE ;$aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (292 p.) 225 1 $aISTE 300 $aAdapted and updated from: Les antennes ultra large bande, France : Hermes Science/Lavoisier, 2010. 300 $a"Rev. papers of the autumn school, GDR Ondes, organized in Valence, Oct. 2006"--T.p. verso. 311 $a1-84821-232-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Ultra Wide Band Antennas; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Chapter 1.

These wireless links are frequently associated with a location capability for which ultimate accuracy varies with the inverse of the frequency bandwidth. Using time or frequency domain waveforms, they are currently the subject of international standards facilitating their commercial implementation. Drawing up a complete state of the art, Ultra Wide Band Antennas is aimed at students, engineers and researchers and presents a summary of internationally recog 410 0$aISTE 606 $aUltra-wideband antennas$vCongresses 615 0$aUltra-wideband antennas 676 $a621.382/4 676 $a621.3824 676 $a621.384135 686 $aTEC008000$2bisacsh 700 $aBegaud$b Xavier$01663188 701 $aBegaud$b Xavier$01663188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830670703321 996 $aUltra-wide band antennas$94020312 997 $aUNINA
