Book Description
A brave firsthand account of online personality Alex Bertie's life, struggles, and victories as a transgender teen, as well as a groundbreaking guide for transitioning teens. Long before he became known for his YouTube videos, Alex Bertie was an isolated, often-afraid transgender teenager looking for answers. In this revolutionary memoir and valuable resource, Alex recounts his life, struggles, and victories as a young trans man. Along the way, he provides readers with accessible, highly researched explanations of gender, sexuality, and transitions. He explores without judgment how complicated all these things can be, and how many equally authentic ways there are to live as yourself and find happiness. It can be hard for questioning teens to believe in a brighter future, let alone find any sense of community. Here, with clarity and compassion, Alex writes as a supportive older brother for transitioning teens, their allies, their parents, and anyone looking to better understand others -- and themselves.

Trouble Shooting And Rebuilding The T-84J Transmission
Author: Robert Notman
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329377435
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Do you own a WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW "jeep"? Or are you interested in owning one someday? These vehicles are pushing well past 70 years old and will need maintenance and repair. At some point your T-84J transmission will need trouble shooting or rebuilding. The purpose of this book is twofold, to show just how "easy" it is to rebuild the T-84J transmission and to perhaps allow the novice to decide whether it is better to have it rebuilt by a pro. The process of recording the rebuilding of a T-84J transmission will hopefully help others who might want to rebuild their own. Assembling the T-84J is really not difficult. There are about 58 parts, so it isn't rocket science. It's just following the steps and asking for clarification when the steps aren't as clear as they could be. So follow along as we tear into a T-84J transmission...you can do it!

Massive WDM and TDM Soliton Transmission Systems
Author: Akira Hasegawa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306471256
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This book summarizes the proceedings of the invited talks presented at the “International Symposium on Massive TDM and WDM Optical Soliton Tra- mission Systems” held in Kyoto during November 9–12, 1999. The symposium is the third of the series organized by Research Group for Optical Soliton C- munications (ROSC) chaired by Akira Hasegawa. The research group, ROSC, was established in Japan in April 1995 with a support of the Japanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications to promote collaboration and information - change among communication service companies, communication industries and academic circles in the theory and application of optical solitons. The symposium attracted enthusiastic response from worldwide researchers in the field of soliton based communications and intensive discussions were made. In the symposium held in 1997, new concept of soliton transmission based on dispersion management of optical fibers were presented. This new soliton is now called the dispersion managed soliton. The present symposium mainly focuses the theoretical and experimental developments of dispersion managed solitons. It is remarkable that the concept of the dispersion managed soliton, which was just born two years ago when the naming was not even given yet, has become the center of soliton research in two years. The dispersion managed soliton has an enhanced power in maintaining reasonable signal to noise ratio, yet has reduced Gordon-Haus timing jitter by reduced averagedispersion. The dispersion managed soliton also has demonstrated its power in soliton based WDM transmissions.

Maternal Fetal Transmission of Human Viruses and their Influence on Tumorigenesis
Author: György Berencsi III
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400742150
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The human foetus is separated from the maternal blood by the syncytiotrophoblast induced by endogeneous human retrovirus-encoded proteins. This barrier is a highly developed one, which suppors apical-basolateral transport of maternal idiotype and anti-idiotype IgG, IgG-virus complexes. The selective maternal-fetal transport of epitope- and paratope-bearing entities can influence the developping fetal immune system during pregnancy. The bidirectional maternal-fetal transfer of cells are of even more importance during pregnancy. Maternal cells with latent viruses transport viruses without impairment of fetal development. Cells with premaligant and malignant genetic transformation are also transported to the fetus. Fetal and neonatal tumours are initiated by such cells in spite of the antitumour potential of fetal organism. On the contary, the fetal cells repair maternal tissue injouries and survive in the organisms of the recipients for decades. These possess new consequences for the neonatal immunity and organ transplatation surgery.
