The great powerhouse, which is the collection of internationally acclaimed designers of Australia and New Zealand, has finally been revealed. Collated by one of Australia's most prominent writers on architecture and design, Request Response Reaction is a

Effective communication requires a common language, a truth that applies to science and mathematics as much as it does to culture and conversation. Standards and Standardization: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications addresses the necessity of a common system of measurement in all technical communications and endeavors, in addition to the need for common rules and guidelines for regulating such enterprises. This multivolume reference will be of practical and theoretical significance to researchers, scientists, engineers, teachers, and students in a wide array of disciplines.

This book outlines a set of issues that are critical to all of parallel architecture--communication latency, communication bandwidth, and coordination of cooperative work (across modern designs). It describes the set of techniques available in hardware and in software to address each issues and explore how the various techniques interact.

In today’s modernized environment, a growing number of software companies are changing their traditional engineering approaches in response to the rapid development of computing technologies. As these businesses adopt modern software engineering practices, they face various challenges including the integration of current methodologies and contemporary design models and the refactoring of existing systems using advanced approaches. Applications and Approaches to Object-Oriented Software Design: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the development of modern software practices that impact maintenance, design, and developer productivity. While highlighting topics such as augmented reality, distributed computing, and big data processing, this publication explores the current infrastructure of software systems as well as future advancements. This book is ideally designed for software engineers, IT specialists, data scientists, business professionals, developers, researchers, students, and academicians seeking current research on contemporary software engineering methods.

Information and communication technology is transforming our notion of literacy. In the study of second language learning, there is an acute need to understand how learners collaborate in mediating discourse online. This edited volume offers essays and research studies that lead us to question the borders between speech and writing, to redefine narrative, to speculate on the consequences of many-to-many communication, and to ponder the ethics of researching online interaction. Using diverse technologies (bulletin boards, course management systems, chats, instant messaging, online gaming) and situated in different cultural environments, the studies explore intercultural notions of identity, voice, and collaboration. Although the studies come from varying theoretical perspectives, they point, as a whole, to insights to be gained from an ecological approach to studying how people make discourse online. The volume will especially benefit researchers in the digital arena and instructors who must consider how online interaction affects language learning and use.

Do You Speak Equis? outlines a method of communication with the horse using the head collar and the bit in a way that is non-coercive and based on mutual understanding and reciprocal respect. The aim of the method is to develop a horse who carries himself with lightness from the outset of training. Topics covered include communicative action and receptive reaction; natural flexions; aggressive horses and how to work with them; interaction with head collar and finally, introducing the bit. This comprehensive guide is aimed at horse owners, trainers and riders and is fully illustrated with 154 colour photographs, 14 diagrams and 5 cartoons.

Hourglass Socioeconomics Volume 2 is a further adaptation derived from Volume 1 offering principle application adding to deeper fundamental understanding. Going through the vortex from cover to cover hints at "what could be" if "what if" is a true statement within a true or false vacuum plotted somewhere on or in a vector of space. Fluid dynamics was presented briefly in the preceding excerpt but investigated further as it applies to both real and meta data of social structures. In doing so, we jump through the spacetime of prismatic dimensions from one to three and hint at the fourth. To understand the system in place we must understand those a system governs over; ourselves. The vortex of thought within whips together a tornado of analytical, complex, but rational applications already present in today's academic universe. Physics, political science, statistics, philosophy, symbolism, natural biology and other academic studies shape the vortex you are about to step into where stillness is found in the chaos of how to interpret the complexity of the world we live in.
