Ebook "Wine queens: Understanding the role of women in wine marketing" explores a fairly unique wine marketing topic by examining the role and historic function of Wine Queens and Wine Kings. The author charts the history of Wine Queens in Europe, the Americas and Asia, while also focusing on cases from Slovenia. The difference between Wine Queens and Beauty Queens is also described in light of marketing approaches used in the wine industry.

Genre analysis is one of the levels of discourse analysis in the light of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Martin (2007) proposed three strata in approaching discourse including the context of culture, situation, and discourse semantics (lexico-grammar). This paper examined the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) of Japanese precedents under the theory proposed by Hasan (1989) and then, provided some attention to characterizing other legal discourses.

Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition, and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations. This book presents a rigorous and systematic treatment of the foundational issues: defining cryptographic tasks and solving new cryptographic problems using existing tools. It focuses on the basic mathematical tools: computational difficulty (one-way functions), pseudorandomness, and zero-knowledge proofs.

In putting together this manual of endoscopic surgery, we have sought to cover the three essential components of the new surgical approach: the technological aspects, the basic endoscopic surgical skills, and the operative techniques. Visualization of the operative field, exposure and execution of remote manipulations are dependent on op­ timal function of the ancillary apparatus without which endoscopic surgery cannot be practised.

This groundbreaking work explores media scholar Sut Jhally's thesis that advertising functions as a religion in late capitalism and relates this to critical theological studies. Sheffield argues that advertising is not itself a religion, but that it contains religious dimensions - analogous to Durkheim's description of objects as totems.

The bureaucracy is the fourth branch of government, often receiving attention in times of emergency or when it is the object of criticism from the media or politicians. Less understood is how bureaucratic institutions function in a democracy, both from an organizational perspective and as institutional participants within the political arena. Drawing on rational choice approaches, computationally intensive data and modeling techniques, and systematic empirical inquiry, this original collection of essays highlights the important role bureaucracies play in shaping public policy-making.

Ebook "The fish production potential of the baltic sea: A new general approach for optimizing fish quota including a holistic management plan based on ecosystem modeling" deals with the quantification of what these functional groups of organisms eat, how much they eat, when they eat, and how this relates to basic abiotic properties of the system, such as salinity, water temperature, oxygen conditions and nutrient concentrations.

The paper "Continuous Element formulations for free vibration of FGM annular plates resting on elastic foundation" introduces an efficient approach for analyzing the vibration of functionally graded annular plates resting on elastic foundation. The Continuous Element for annular plates on Winkler-Pasternak foundation is constructed based on the analytical closed form solution of the differential equations of the investigated structure.

This work focuses on the free vibration of the functionally graded porous (FGP) sandwich microplates using the isogeometric approach (IGA). The FGP sandwich plate comprises the homogeneous core and the FG porous face sheets. The material properties of the FGP face sheets are supposed to vary through the thickness direction according to the power-law function and modified rule of a mixture of the volume fraction with three different types of porosity distribution: homogeneous porous, X porous and V porous distributions.

A semi-analytical approach of nonlinear dynamic buckling of functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical shells stiffened by the ring or stringer FG-CNTRC stiffeners by using the Donnell shell theory with the geometrical nonlinearities in von Kármán sense is reported in this paper. The improved smeared stiffener technique is applied for FG-CNTRC stiffeners.

An analytical approach of nonlinear buckling and postbuckling analysis of core-corrugated functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG- CNTRC) cylindrical panels under axial compression is presented in the present study. A homogenization technique is applied for the corrugated core with thermal effects. The nonlinear stability equation system of panels is formulated by using the Donnell thin shell theory with the von Kármán geometrical nonlinearities.

The eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) produces high effectiveness in analyzing the crack propagation in structures. In this approach, the crack is modeled through enrichment functions instead of explicitly represented on the geometry. This study presents an object-oriented program to simulate crack propagation in 2-dimensional structures.

A thermochemical model was developed to calculate the H2 adsorption isotherm of the original Mg-MOF-74 framework, and its computationally designed isoreticular employing the adsorption energies and vibrational frequencies obtained from density functional theory calculations as input variables. The model reasonably replicates the experimental adsorption isotherm of the original framework at -196˚C within the pressure range up to 1 bar
