Michele Markarian's play Parents of Typical Children] is a pertinent commentary on American society, in a world where average is no longer acceptable.- Shelley Molad, nytheatre.comMarkarian carefully crafts a story where problems are invented, and good fortune is ignored....Parents of Typical Children is great fun for those who perpetually want more, and the ones who laugh at them.-Cindy Pierre, talkinbroadway.com
A cunning killer. Two determined detectives. A race against time. He stalks the streets of Atlanta, a serial murderer who strikes the most vulnerable and takes sickening souvenirs--all without leaving a trace. Who is he? And can he be stopped before he kills his next victim? Still recuperating from a gunshot earned during his last brush with evil, cowboy Detective Lieutenant Noah McGraw has no idea he'll be faced with his greatest challenge yet--or that his relationship with his partner, Detective Sergeant Holly Roark, will be put to the test. Their budding feelings are intensifying, possibly building to marriage, but will their love prove to be a dangerous distraction out in the field? The officers of Atlanta PD's Homicide Division have seen their share of clever killers, but this particular predator is on a whole new level. When Noah and Holly are put on the case, they immediately hit a dead end--at scene after scene, the killer has struck without leaving a shred of evidence behind, somehow defying the laws of forensic science. Three elderly women are dead, their tongues cut out. What does The Tongue Collector want with these trophies? And when will he strike again? Sooner or later, Noah knows, the killer will slip up. They always do. Will Noah and Holly uncover the truth before it's too late, or will they find themselves in the crosshairs of a cunning psychopath yet again?

This book covers one of the most exciting but most difficult topics in the modern theory of dynamical systems: chaotic billiards. In physics, billiard models describe various mechanical processes, molecular dynamics, and optical phenomena.The theory of chaotic billiards has made remarkable progress in the past thirty-five years, but it remains notoriously difficult for the beginner, with main results scattered in hardly accessible research articles. This is the first and so far only book that covers all the fundamental facts about chaotic billiards in a complete and systematic manner. The book contains all the necessary definitions, full proofs of all the main theorems, and many examples and illustrations that help the reader to understand the material. Hundreds of carefully designed exercises allow the reader not only to become familiar with chaotic billiards but to master the subject.The book addresses graduate students and young researchers in physics and mathematics. Prerequisites include standard graduate courses in measure theory, probability, Riemannian geometry, topology, and complex analysis. Some of this material is summarized in the appendices to the book.
Symbolism in Nineteenth-Century Ballet
Margaret Fleming-Markarian
Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften
2012
nidottu
This book investigates allegorical meaning in the ballets Giselle, Coppélia, The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake, principally by examining their original librettos and costume designs, as well as considering their surviving choreographic legacy. Each ballet is examined scene by scene in order to identify occult symbols secreted within its structure. The names of characters, their costume details (form, colour, pattern and attribute) and the parts they play and dance (mime, choreographic step and staging) are individually searched for symbolic correspondences. The author argues that the meaning of these symbols reveals a serious subtext embedded within each ballet and shows that these subtexts are all found to fable the spiritual journey of the soul towards a heavenly paradise. The distinctive set of symbols and the method of interpretation differ in each case: Giselle takes on a Swedenborgian slant, Coppélia hinges on Masonry, while The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake are steeped in mysticism.
It is a great pleasure to be asked to write the Preface for this book on trellis decoding of error correcting block codes. The subject is extremely significant both theoretically and practically, and is very timely because of recent devel opments in the microelectronic implementation and range of application of error-control coding systems based on block codes. The authors have been notably active in signal processing and coding research and development for several years, and therefore very well placed to contribute to the state of the art on the subject of trellis decoding. In particular, the book represents a unique approach to many practical aspects of the topic. As the authors point out, there are two main classes of error control codes: block codes and convolutinal codes. Block codes came first historically and have a well-developed mathematical structure. Convolutional codes come later, and have developed heuristically, though a more formal treatment has emerged via recent developments in the theory of symbolic dynamics. Max imum likelihood (ML) decoding of powerful codes in both these classes is computationally complex in the general case; that is, ML decoding fails into the class of NP-hard computational problems. This arieses because the de coding complexity is an exponential function of key parameters of the code.

Coding and Modulation for Digital Television presents a comprehensive description of all error control coding and digital modulation techniques used in Digital Television (DTV). This book illustrates the relevant elements from the expansive theory of channel coding to how the transmission environment dictates the choice of error control coding and digital modulation schemes. These elements are presented in such a way that both the `mathematical integrity' and `understanding for engineers' are combined in a complete form and supported by a number of practical examples. In addition, the book contains descriptions of the existing standards and provides a valuable source of corresponding references. Coding and Modulation for Digital Television also features a description of the latest techniques, providing the reader with a glimpse of future digital broadcasting. These include the concepts of soft-in-soft-out decoding, turbo-coding and cross-correlated quadrature modulation, all of which will have a prominent future in improving efficiency of the next generation DTV systems. Coding and Modulation for Digital Television is essential reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate students, broadcasting and communication engineers, researchers, marketing managers, regulatory bodies, governmental organizations and standardization institutions of the digital television industry.

Sukellus Turun Maarian kirkon kiehtovaan historiaan.Kirja kertoo Maarian kirkon ja seurakunnan historiasta aina 1200-luvulta saakka, jolloin Maariaan rakennettiin ensimmäinen hirsikirkko.Nykyinen kivikirkko on 1400-luvulta. Kirjassa käydään usean tutkijan voimin läpi kirkon, pappilan ja hautausmaiden rakennushistoriaa, historiaa ja taidetta. Vuosisataista seurakunnallista elämää tarkastellaan kunkin aikakauden kirkkoherran ja pappilan elämän näkökulmasta.Keskiaikainen Maarian kirkko seisoo Turun kupeessa Räntämäen kylässä, Aurajokeen laskevan Vähäjoen yläpuolelle nousevalla matalalla hiekkaharjulla. Seutu on historialtaan rikasta, ja siihen liittyy muistoja rautakauden talonpoikaisyhteiskunnasta, kristinuskon leviämisestä Suomeen ja Suomen vanhimman tuomiokirkon perustamisesta kivenheiton päähän Koroisiin 1200-luvun alkupuolella. Maarian kirkko sijaitseekin Suomen tiheimmässä keskiaikaisten kirkkojen maisemassa.Kirjoittajat:Ilari Aalto, FM | Janika Aho, FM | Jouni Elomaa, M.A. | Tuomas Heikkilä, FT, prof. | Saara Huovinen, LT | Tytti Issakainen, FM | Jari Laaksonen, TT | Anu Lahtinen, FT, prof. | Terttu Lempiäinen, FT, dos. | Saila Leskinen, FM | Sirkku Pihlman, FT, dos. | Elina Räsänen, FT, dos.
