Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Plastic Conversion Processes A Concise and Applied Guide

Plastic Conversion Processes A Concise and Applied Guide

The explosion of plastic material development continues to generate a proliferation of conversion processes and variants of these methods. Unfortunately most books on plastics conversion focus on a single process such as injection molding limiting their usefulness to readers without prior knowledge of the field. Few if any single-source texts adequately describe and compare each of the plastic conversion processes together. Plastic Conversion Processes: A Concise and Applied Guide addresses that need. It provides a basic overview of each of the seven major conversion processes which account for the creation of more than 97 percent of all plastics products today. This detailed guide assembles and integrates the wealth of information scattered throughout various literature to provide a basic yet complete illustration of plastic conversion processes. Learn Methods to Compare Evaluate and Select the Best Process for Your Product This book is unique in that it employs an all-encompassing approach offering more than a mere overview of basic theory and application related to each major process. Chapters begin with a process-attribute table to serve as a quick guide and then briefly describe a particular conversion process. To ensure comprehensive understanding of each method and how it works sections include a short history and detailed explanation of the particular equipment tooling and materials used as well as general piece part design guidelines and case studies gleaned from real-life experience. There is a plastic term for every letter of the alphabet making it one of the most complex fields in science. A quick reference section at the end of the book includes an exhaustive collection of more than 350 terms definitions acronyms and a key process characteristics comparison chart.

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering Second Edition Important topics that are fundamental to the understanding of modern-day sonar systems engineering are featured. Linear planar and volume array theory including near-field and far-field beam patterns beam steering and array focusing are covered. Real-world arrays such as the twin-line planar array and a linear array of triplets which are solutions to the port/starboard (left/right) ambiguity problem associated with linear towed arrays are examined in detail. Detailed explanations of the fundamentals of side-looking (side-scan) and synthetic-aperture sonars are presented. Bistatic scattering with moving platforms is explored with derivations of exact solutions for the time delay time-compression/time-expansion factor and Doppler shift at a receiver for both the scattered and direct acoustic paths. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions and the design of CW LFM and Doppler-invariant HFM pulses are explained. Target detection in the presence of reverberation and noise is examined. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions of MFSK MQAM and OFDM underwater acoustic communication signals are also discussed. Although the book is mathematically rigorous it is written in a tutorial style. Many useful practical design and analysis equations for both passive and active sonar systems are derived from first principles. No major steps in the derivation of important results are skipped – all assumptions and approximations are clearly stated. Particular attention is paid to the correct units for functions and parameters. Many figures tables examples and practical homework problems at the end of each chapter are included to aid in the understanding of the material covered.
