Book Description
La physique des réacteurs nucléaires est le premier ouvrage français conçu pour aborder de façon progressive et détaillée la complexité théorique du comportement des neutrons, en situation sûre ou accidentelle. Fruit de l’expérience pédagogique de l’auteur et de son expertise internationale reconnue en sûreté nucléaire, il est rapidement devenu un ouvrage de référence au sein de la communauté nucléaire française. Après des rappels de physique nucléaire replaçant les notions théoriques dans leur contexte historique, l’auteur expose les théories mathématico-physiques les plus récentes concernant : • le ralentissement des neutrons dans la matière ; • les particules chargées et les rayonnements électromagnétiques ; • les phases de calcul, en soulignant les hypothèses simplificatrices ; • le concept de criticité, lorsque se développe et s’entretient une réaction nucléaire en chaîne ; • le calcul théorique des réacteurs homogènes et hétérogènes ; • les problèmes d’autoprotection ; • les méthodes numériques des 2 approches historiques du traitement des neutrons (transport neutronique et diffusion). Cette 2e édition, revue et augmentée, approfondit certaines notions, notamment le spectre théorique de fission, l’effet des liaisons cristallines, l’effet de l’hétérogénéité du champ de température, l’effet Dancoff, les équations du transport en géométrie dimensionnelle, le calcul du facteur anti-trappe, la méthode des neutrons pulsés, l’effet d’ombre de l’intégrale de résonance, la méthode Feynman-a, le traitement des instrumentations de l’EPR… Complété par plus de 400 références bibliographiques, dont de nombreuses commentées et une annexe replaçant les travaux d’EDF dans le contexte national du développement de l’énergie nucléaire, cet ensemble constitue la référence théorique la plus complète en neutronique. Cet ouvrage est conforme aux enseignements de l’Institut de transfert de technologie d’EDF et sert de référentiel aux enseignements de l’École nationale supérieure d’ingénieurs de Bourges (INSA-Centre Val de Loire). Il a été conçu pour les ingénieurs et techniciens sur sites souhaitant enrichir leur propre expertise, pour les étudiants de 3e cycle et les élèves ingénieurs en sciences énergétiques.

Maurice Thorez
Author: John Bulaitis
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786733684
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Maurice Thorez (1900-1964) was a major figure in the history of twentieth-century France and European Communism for over three decades. Under his leadership, the French Communist Party (PCF) became France's largest political party and one of the most important communist parties in the West. Born in a mining village, Thorez left school at the age of 12 and would go on to helm the PCF in a rapid rise that paralleled Stalin's consolidation of power in the Soviet Union. After World War II, he became a minister, and briefly deputy prime minister, before the Cold War excluded communists from political power. The PCF became known as 'the party of Maurice Thorez', as a leader cult around Thorez was created that mirrored the cult of personality' around Stalin. This book is based on a wealth of original source material, including Thorez's diaries and notebooks. John Bulaitis outlines how Thorez's political life intersected with and was shaped by key historical events. At its heart, the book explores the paradox of the mass communist movement in France: its ability to fuse attachment to the French nation with fervent loyalty to the Soviet Union and Stalinist practices.

Book Description
Never before has the everyday soundtrack of urban space been so cacophonous. Since the 1970s, sound researchers have attempted to classify noise, music, and everyday sounds using concepts such as Pierre Shafer's sound object and R. Murray Schafer's soundscape. Recently, the most significant team of soundscape researchers in the world has been concerned with the effects of sounds on listeners.

Romantic Narrative
Author: Tilottama Rajan
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801899214
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Often identified with its lyric poetry, Romanticism has come to be dismissed by historicists as an ineffectual idealism. By focusing on Romantic narrative, noted humanist Tilottama Rajan takes issue with this identification, as well as with the equation of narrative itself with the governmental apparatus of the Novel. Exploring the role of narrativity in the works of Romantic writers, Rajan also reflects on larger disciplinary issues such as the role of poetry versus prose in an emergent modernity and the place of Romanticism itself in a Victorianized nineteenth century. While engaging both genres, Romantic Narrative responds to the current critical shift from poetry to prose by concentrating, paradoxically, on a poetics of narrative in Romantic prose fiction. Rajan argues that poiesis, as a mode of thinking, is Romanticism’s legacy to an age of prose. She elucidates this thesis through careful readings of Shelley’s Alastor and his Gothic novels, Godwin’s Caleb Williams and St. Leon, Hays’ Memoirs of Emma Courtney, and Wollstonecraft’s The Wrongs of Woman. Rajan, winner of the Keats-Shelley Association's Distinguished Lifetime Award and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, is one of Romanticism’s leading scholars. Effective, articulate, and readable, Romantic Narrative will appeal to scholars in both nineteenth-century studies and narrative theory.

Is That a Fish in Your Ear?
Author: David Bellos
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0865478724
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book for 2011 One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year People speak different languages, and always have. The Ancient Greeks took no notice of anything unless it was said in Greek; the Romans made everyone speak Latin; and in India, people learned their neighbors' languages—as did many ordinary Europeans in times past (Christopher Columbus knew Italian, Portuguese, and Castilian Spanish as well as the classical languages). But today, we all use translation to cope with the diversity of languages. Without translation there would be no world news, not much of a reading list in any subject at college, no repair manuals for cars or planes; we wouldn't even be able to put together flat-pack furniture. Is That a Fish in Your Ear? ranges across the whole of human experience, from foreign films to philosophy, to show why translation is at the heart of what we do and who we are. Among many other things, David Bellos asks: What's the difference between translating unprepared natural speech and translating Madame Bovary? How do you translate a joke? What's the difference between a native tongue and a learned one? Can you translate between any pair of languages, or only between some? What really goes on when world leaders speak at the UN? Can machines ever replace human translators, and if not, why? But the biggest question Bellos asks is this: How do we ever really know that we've understood what anybody else says—in our own language or in another? Surprising, witty, and written with great joie de vivre, this book is all about how we comprehend other people and shows us how, ultimately, translation is another name for the human condition.

Translation and Globalization
Author: Michael Cronin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113513829X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Translation and Globalization is essential reading for anyone with an interest in translation, or a concern for the future of our world's languages and cultures. This is a critical exploration of the ways in which radical changes to the world economy have affected contemporary translation. The Internet, new technology, machine translation and the emergence of a worldwide, multi-million dollar translation industry have dramatically altered the complex relationship between translators, language and power. In this book, Michael Cronin looks at the changing geography of translation practice and offers new ways of understanding the role of the translator in globalized societies and economies. Drawing on examples and case-studies from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, the author argues that translation is central to debates about language and cultural identity, and shows why consideration of the role of translation and translators is a necessary part of safeguarding and promoting linguistic and cultural diversity.
