The STM32F103 microcontroller from ST is one of the widely used ARM microcontrollers. The blue pill board is based on STM32F103 microcontroller. It has a low price and it is widely available around the world. This book uses the blue pill board to discuss designing embedded systems using STM32F103. In this book, the authors use a step-by-step and systematic approach to show the programming of the STM32 chip. Examples show how to program many of the STM32F10x features, such as timers, serial communication, ADC, SPI, I2C, and PWM.To write programs for Arm microcontrollers you need to know both Assembly and C languages. So, the text is organized into two parts: 1) The first 6 chapters cover the Arm Assembly language programming. 2) Chapters 7-19 uses C to show the STM32F10x peripherals and I/O interfacing to real-world devices such as keypad, 7-segment, character and graphic LCDs, motor, and sensor. The source codes, power points, tutorials, and support materials for the book is availab

Strangers to Nature challenges a reading public that has grown complacent with the standard framework of the animal ethics debate. Human influence on, and the control of, the natural world has greater consequences than ever, making the human impact on the lives of animals more evident. We cannot properly interrogate our conduct in the world without a deeper understanding of how our actions affect animals. It is crucial that the human-animal relationship become more central to ethical inquiry. This volume brings together many of the leading scholars who work to redefine and expand the discourse on animal ethics. The contributors examine the radical developments that change how we think about the status of non-human animals in our society and our moral obligations. Strangers to Nature will engage both scholars and lay-people by revealing the breadth of theorizing about current human/non-human animal relationships. Product details

"Ich gehe nicht ins Stadion, weil es Freude macht", sagt Nick Hornby. Eigentlich leidet der Fan immer und überall, vor allem an der eigenen Mannschaft, an ihren Unzulänglichkeiten, am Trainer und an den eigenen Fans. Er pendelt zwischen Depression und Hysterie, zwischen Herzklopfen und Agonie. Lebt der Fan in einer Ehe ohne Liebe, leidet er unter einer Sucht oder Zwangshandlung? Manuel Andrack stellt sich als bekennender Fußball-Fan den existentiellen Fragen. Und findet nach Gesprächen mit Psychologen, echten Fans und Selbstversuchen Antworten darauf, wie es sich anfühlt, Fan zu sein und warum wir überhaupt Fans sind, was ein Spielerverkauf in uns auslöst, was ein Auswärtsspiel oder eine krachende Niederlage.

Seismic instrumentation systems are important elements for plant safety. They provide crucial information for the assessment of safety required to restart a plant after a shutdown caused by an earthquake. This publication presents information and experience related to the development of seismic instrumentation systems and the utilization of data recorded by them, based on recent seismic events. The publication is intended to be a reference for developing effective post-earthquake actions/procedures. It describes the typologies of seismic instrumentation systems and their application for obtaining 'earthquake levels' and 'damage indicating parameters' that are used to predict the extent of seismic damage caused by the recorded earthquake motions. It complements IAEA Safety Standards Series No. NS-G-1.6, Seismic Design and Qualification for Nuclear Power Plants, and Safety Reports Series No. 66, Earthquake Preparedness and Response for Nuclear Power Plants, as a technical

A strikingly honest look into Islamic culture?-in particular women and Islam?-and what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women. Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong. What she discovers is vastly different. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a world apart, a land of unparalleled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty and love. And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity. Very few Islamic books for women give a firsthand account of what it's like to live in a place where Muslim women continue to be oppressed and treated as inferior to men. But if you want to

This new Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of current research on private security and military companies, comprising essays by leading scholars from around the world.

Previous research on Mesopotamian Flood traditions tended to focus on a few textual sources. How the traditions originated and developed as a whole has not been seriously investigated. By systematically examining a large body of relevant cuneiform sources of diverse genres from the Early Dynastic III period (ca. 2600-2350 B.C.) to the end of the first millennium B.C., this book observes that it is during the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600) and classical attestations of the Flood traditions are found. On linguistic, conceptual and literary-historical grounds, the book argues that the Flood traditions emerged relatively late in Sumerian traditions. It traces different evolutionary stages of the Flood traditions, from the emergence of the Flood motif within the socio-political and cultural contexts of the early Isin dynasty (ca. 2017-1896 B.C.), to the diverse mythological representations of the motif in literary traditions, to the historicisation of the motif in chronography, and
