Abstract:

The manual consists of 34 tests on the Latin language, which test linguistic terminology, phonetics, vocabulary, grammar and word formation of the Latin language of the classical period. The tests are grouped into sections: phonetics, morphology, syntax, and case functions. Each test consists of two parts: the first part (the first ten questions) tests knowledge of theory, the second part (the second ten questions) contains practical tasks in the Latin language. The tests correspond to the federal state educational standard in the discipline “Ancient Languages and Cultures” for training areas

Abstract:

Abstract This is an introductory text on the theory of modules over rings or, equivalently, over algebras, addressed to beginning graduate students. It stresses the importance of the categorical perspective and the use of homological tools. Modules are studied both from a classical point of view and a categorical one. For this purpose, rudiments of category theory, homological algebra and representations of quivers are introduced and applied in the study of module categories. After introducing such fundamental tools as the Hom functor and the tensor product comes the study of projective, injec

This book aims to deepen the relationship between classical Spanish theater and cinema through the analysis of a corpus which has been only partially studied and recently rescued by critics.

Abstract:

Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in the approach to scale development. Called item response theory (IRT), this approach challenges the notion that scales must be long in order to be reliable, and that psychometric properties of a scale derived from one group of people cannot be applied to different groups. This chapter provides an introduction to IRT, and discusses how it can be used to develop scales and to shorten existing scales that have been developed using the more traditional approach of classical test theory. IRT also can result in scales that have interval-level

Abstract:

Item response theory (IRT) is a modern measurement theory that, as its name implies, focuses mainly at the item level as opposed to the test level. The underlying principle of IRT is that a relationship exists between an individual’s ability and how the individual responds to items on a test. IRT offers item-level details not provided through classical approaches. The aims of this chapter are to (1) provide a brief overview of IRT, (2) demonstrate the basic features of IRT using existing data, and (3) walk the reader through the key steps in conducting IRT analysis using IRTPRO®.

Recent advances in quantum technology – from quantum computers and simulators to communication and metrology – have not only opened up a whole new world of applications but also changed the understanding of quantum theory itself.

It does away with the traditional approach to quantum theory as a theory of microscopic matter, and focuses instead on quantum theory as a framework for information processing. Accordingly, the emphasis is on concepts like measurement, probability, statistical correlations, and transformations, ra

This chapter continues the analysis of Chapter 6 by focusing on slavery in classical Crete. Ancient writers from Aristotle onwards compared the system of dependent labour in Crete to Sparta’s helots. This chapter tests whether or not the traditional view—that these dependants were serfs—stands up to a detailed scrutiny of the evidence. By looking at Crete’s legal inscriptions, particularly those of the polis of Gortyn, we can see that these dependants were privately owned slaves, not serfs. The second half of the chapter examines in detail the legal and economic position of slaves in Gortyn an

Novel quantum concepts acquire content not by representing new beables but through material-inferential relations between claims about them and other claims. Acceptance of quantum theory modifies other concepts in accordance with a pragmatist inferentialist account of how claims acquire content. Quantum theory itself introduces no new beables, but accepting it affects the content of claims about classical magnitudes and other beables unknown to classical physics: the content of a magnitude claim about a physical object is a function of its physical context in a way that eludes standard pragmat

Sampling theory concerns itself with development of procedures for random selection of a subset of units, a sample, from a larger finite population, and with how to best use sample data to make scientifically and statistically sound inferences about the population as a whole. The inferences fall into two broad categories: (a) estimation of simple descriptive population parameters, such as means, totals, or proportions, for variables of interest, and (b) estimati

Did they worry not just about death, but whether they could figure it out? The book takes a fresh approach to the study of ancient death, cutting across sub-disciplines (art, text, philosophy) to build a picture of how ancient art and literature got their audiences thinking

As with all post-classical Greek literature, its popularity dived in the nineteenth century, thanks to the influence of romanticism.

Thus the period is characterized by the ancient competition between baroque and classical forms of expression.

The book recognizes the fundamental role in writing for children of adults’ ideas about what children want or need, but also attends to the ways in which child readers make such works their own.

Abstract:

This book draws upon cognitive poetics and uses an assortment of works written in Britain and the US for preteen and adolescent readers from 1906 to 2018 to argue that authors typically employ a limited and powerful set of spatial metaphors to organize the classical past for young readers. Popular models include palimpsest texts, which see the past as a collection of strata in which each new era forms a layer superimposed upon a foundation laid earlier; map texts, which use the metaphor of the mappable journey to represent a protagonist’s process of maturing while gaining knowledge of the self

Abstract:

Quantum dots in optical nanocavities are interesting as a test-bed for fundamental studies of light–matter interaction (cavity quantum electrodynamics, QED), as well as an integrated platform for information processing. As a result of the strong field localization inside sub-cubic-wavelength volumes, these dots enable very large emitter–field interaction strengths. In addition to their use in the study of new regimes of cavity QED, they can also be employed to build devices for quantum information processing, such as ultrafast quantum gates, non-classical light sources, and spin–photon interfa

Abstract:

This text presents a concise and thorough introduction to the main concepts and practical applications of thermodynamics and kinetics in materials science. It is designed with two types of uses in mind: firstly for one or two semester university course for mid- to - upper level undergraduate or first year graduate students in a materials-science-oriented discipline and secondly for individuals who want to study the materials on their own. The following major topics are discussed: basic laws of classical and irreversible thermodynamics, phase equilibria, theory of solutions, chemical reaction t
