Voices Past and Present serves as a comprehensive, scholarly and practical source for documenting and preserving some of them. The subcontinent of Africa has been inhabited by Bushman, Khoikhoi and Bantu-speaking peoples for thousands of years, and, for the past few centuries, also by European-speaking peoples. Contact between these peoples brought about changes in the different languages. As a result, modern languages are no longer identical to the original ones, many of which, especially in the case of the Bushman and Khoikhoi languages, have become extinct. Words used in ancient times and recorded long ago often bear no resemblance to their modern counterparts. In this book, Peter E. Raper provides a detailed investigation of the earliest recordings of words available. Words from Old Cape dialects are compared for correspondences in sound and meaning to words from 29 Bushman languages and dialects, as well as to words from Nama, Koranna, Griqua, !Xuhn, !Xoon, Khwe and N/uu. Voices Past and Present provides an extensive corpus of words that can be further utilised for the purpose of shedding light on the specific languages from which the recorded words (and names) were derived, on historical distribution of the various groups, on the classification of the different languages and peoples, for determining relationships or otherwise between the different languages, potentially identifying components of place-names and ethnonyms from ancient and extinct languages, and elucidating other matters that have long vexed scholars who have complained about a lack of recorded data. 606 $aHistorical & comparative linguistics$2bicssc 607 $aAfrica, Southern$xLanguages$xDialects$xLexicology 610 $aKhoisan 610 $aBushman 610 $aSan 610 $aindigenous 610 $aCape dialects 610 $aorthographic representation 610 $aeffluxes 610 $aconsonants 610 $avowels 610 $aphonological variability 615 7$aHistorical & comparative linguistics 700 $aRaper$b P.

It has gained the attention of the general public, governments, and environmental scientists worldwide. To date, the main focus has been on plastics in the marine environment, but interest in the presence and effects of plastics in freshwaters has increased in the recent years. The occurrence of plastics within inland lakes and rivers, as well as their biota, has been demonstrated. Experiments with freshwater organisms have started to explore the direct and indirect effects resulting from plastic exposure. There is a clear need for further research, and a dedicated space for its dissemination. This book is devoted to highlighting current research from around the world on the prevalence, fate, and effects of plastic in freshwater environments. 606 $aInformation technology industries$2bicssc 610 $aAC and DC overcurrent 610 $aalternating current (AC) losses 610 $abulk superconductors 610 $acoated conductors 610 $acritical currents 610 $adiamond anvil cell 610 $aelectrical conductivity 610 $aelectromagnetic-thermo-force coupling 610 $aexperiment 610 $afield-circuit coupling method 610 $afinite element method (FEM) 610 $aflux pinning 610 $aH-formulation 610 $ahigh pressure 610 $ahigh speed 610 $ahigh-temperature superconducting bulk 610 $aHTS 610 $ahybrid high voltage direct current transmission system 610 $ainductive fault current limiter 610 $airon-based superconductors 610 $amagnetic flux shielding 610 $amagnetic levitation 610 $amathematical modelling 610 $amicrostructure 610 $amodeling 610 $amultiphysics simulation 610 $anumerical modeling 610 $aphase transition 610 $apressure-induced metallization 610 $aquench 610 $aR-SFCL 610 $aRaman spectroscopy 610 $aresistive-type superconducting fault current limiter 610 $ascheme design 610 $ashort-circuit fault 610 $asuperconducting coil 610 $asuperconducting material law 610 $asuperconducting tape 610 $atransient simulation 610 $atransient state 610 $aYttrium barium copper oxide materials 615 7$aInformation technology industries 700 $aCoombs$b Tim$4edt$01323409 702 $aCoombs$b Tim$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557442103321 996 $aEngineering Properties of Superconducting Materials$93035517 997 $aUNINA
