Combining narratological and stylistic methods, this book theorizes dual narrative dynamics consisting of plot development and covert progression and demonstrates the consequences for the interpretation of literary works.In narratives with such dynamics, writers work simultaneously with overt and covert trajectories of signification, establishing a range of relationships between them. The two parallel narrative movements may complement, contradict or even subvert each other, and the...

A practical introduction to state-of-the-art freeform optics design for LED packages and applicationsBy affording designers the freedom to create complex, aspherical optical surfaces with minimal or no aberrations, freeform design transcends the constraints imposed by hundreds of years of optics design and fabrication. Combining unprecedented design freedom with precise light irradiation control, freeform optics design is also revolutionizing the design and manufac...

This book investigates novel accurate and efficient privacy-preserving techniques and their applications in e-Healthcare services. The authors first provide an overview and a general architecture of e-Healthcare and delve into discussions on various applications within the e-Healthcare domain. Simultaneously, they analyze the privacy challenges in e-Healthcare services. Then, in Chapter 2, the authors give a comprehensive review of privacy-preserving and machine learning techniques applied...

SARS from East to West is the production of international collaboration investigating the first major pandemic in the new millennium, SARS. As the only major outbreak of a deadly infectious disease in modern times, the SARS case is an excellent example of an emerging contagious disease in an interdependent and interconnected world and provided the bases for how subsequent pandemics, like the bird flu and swine flu, are viewed and managed.Eva-Karin Olsson and Lan Xue bring together ...

This book examines overlaps, differences, and complementarities between narratology and stylistics, and shows the consequences of this examination for the practical analysis of prose narrative.Narratology identifies discourse as one of its two main objects of study (story being the other), and stylistics, of course, designates style as its concern. Too often, however, work in each of these fields proceeds without attention to developments in the other. This book c...
