The Beginning Level texts and workbooks are the first of a four- level series (Beginning 1 and 2, Intermediate 1 and 2, Advanced Intermediate, and Advanced) developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All series volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and methodology-learner-centeredness, contextualization, use of authentic materials, function/task-orientedness, balance between skill getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced with! simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples, exercises, and drills. Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function, and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from the main texts. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to the four-level textbooks and workbooks, forthcoming volumes include instructor's manuals, Chinese Character Studies, Korean Composition, Selected Readings in Korean, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, Korean Language in Culture and Society, and A Dictionary of Korean Grammar and Usage.
In 1959 South Korea was mired in poverty. By 1979 it had a powerful industrial econom! y and a vibrant civil society in the making, which would lead ! to a dem ocratic breakthrough eight years later. The transformation took place during the years of Park Chung Hee’s presidency. Park seized power in a coup in 1961 and ruled as a virtual dictator until his assassination in October 1979. He is credited with modernizing South Korea, but at a huge political and social cost.
South Korea’s political landscape under Park defies easy categorization. The state was predatory yet technocratic, reform-minded yet quick to crack down on dissidents in the name of political order. The nation was balanced uneasily between opposition forces calling for democratic reforms and the Park government’s obsession with economic growth. The chaebol (a powerful conglomerate of multinationals based in South Korea) received massive government support to pioneer new growth industries, even as a nationwide campaign of economic shock therapyâ€"interest hikes, devaluation, and wage cutsâ€"met strong public resistance and caused considerable hardship.
This landmark volume examines South Korea’s era of development as a study in the complex politics of modernization. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources in both English and Korean, these essays recover and contextualize many of the ambiguities in South Korea’s trajectory from poverty to a sustainable high rate of economic growth.
This thesis is concerned with the formulation and validation of energy finite element analysis (EFEA) method for the vibroacoustic analysis of composite structures. The governing energy equations for elastic waves in composite media are derived on the basis of the angle-average of group velocities and structural loss factors. Spectral finite element method is employed for the calculation of the angle-averaged quantities in order to account for the through-thickness material variation and transverse shear deformation of multi-layered composite plates. Due consideration is given to the development of analytical tools for the calcul! ation of power transfer coefficients for two representative st! ructural components: (1) a thin composite cylinder stiffened by periodically spaced ring frames and axial stringers, and (2) coupled thick composite plates. The periodic structure theory in conjunction with classical lamination theory (CLT) is used to compute propagation constants in the axial and circumferential directions of periodically stiffened cylindrical shells. The propagation constants corresponding to different circumferential modes and/or half-wave numbers are combined to determine the vibrational energy ratios between two adjacent periodic elements. Then, the power transfer coefficients associated with an elastic wave propagating a periodic structure are evaluated from the vibrational energy ratios through the application of an iterative algorithm. For a system of coupled thick composite panels, the diffuse-field power transfer coefficients are calculated by combining the wave dynamic stiffness matrix method with first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The governing! energy equations and the analytical methods for computing power transfer coefficients are implemented into an EFEA formulation. High-frequency vibration analyses of several coupled-plate systems have been performed as a verification study of the analytical approaches presented in this thesis. Comparing CLT- and FSDT-based numerical results with those of dense finite element models, the discrepancy between computations with and without shear deformation effect is clearly demonstrated Vibroacoustic responses (normal shell velocity and interior acoustic pressure) of a cylindrical composite rotorcraft-like structure have also been measured and compared to the proposed EFEA method. The EFEA predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results in both structural and acoustic domains.Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.

The Green Lantern Play-a-Sound Book comes with an attached eight-button audio module that enables children to add sound effects and music to a story adapted from the Warner Brothers movie Green Lantern, released in June 2011. The book, which tells about DC Comics' Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps fighting evil all over the universe, is designed for children ages 3 and older.
Children match icons on the book's pages to the eight buttons to activate these sounds:
- Three tunes, including an evil-sounding ditty, an ethereal refrain! , and a major and minor-key tune
- Fanfare
- Glowing, pulsing ring sound effect
- Falling sound effect
- Crash
- Fast Doppler-effect zoom
The Green Lantern Play-a-Sound Book features full-color illustrations and a sturdy hard cover with a foil-embossed cutout. The book conforms to the specifications for toy safety of ASTM F963-08. Three replaceable long-life AG-13 button cell batteries that power the sound module are included.
