Where precision meets portability, the Zoom H5 Handy Recorder sets a new benchmark in the realm of professional audio capture. Engineered to cater to the evolving needs of creators, the H5 stands out with its four-track simultaneous recording capability. Emulating the flagship H6, it boasts an innovative system of interchangeable input capsules, ensuring that you always have the optimal microphone for every recording scenario.The H5 is not only fully compatible with all Zoom input capsules but also comes equipped with the new XYH-5 X/Y stereo capsule. This advanced addition features extended signal capacity and shock-mounted microphones, significantly reducing handling noise for crystal-clear audio capture. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer to portable recording, the H5 offers the versatility and power necessary to produce multitrack recordings of the highest quality, enhance your videos with pristine audio, and excel in podcasting, broadcasting, and electronic news gathering.The XYH-5 X/Y microphone capsule, included with the H5, consists of two matched unidirectional condenser microphones arranged at a 90-degree angle. This design is housed within a sophisticated shockmount that minimizes vibration and handling noise. The XYH-5's robust construction allows the H5 to handle extremely loud sounds - up to 140 dB SPL - enabling the capture of audio that is louder, closer, and cleaner than ever before.The H5's modular design is a testament to its adaptability. With capsules like the Zoom XYH-6 large diaphragm X/Y mic, which offers adjustable angles for precise sound capture, and the MSH-6 mid-side mic, ideal for film and video work, you can tailor your audio to the environment. The SGH-6 Shotgun capsule is perfect for capturing distant sounds, while the EXH-6 Dual XLR/TRS Combo capsule expands your recording capabilities to four separate audio channels.The H5 is also accommodating to various microphone types, offering phantom power options and a 20dB pad for signal attenuation. The 1/8" Mic/Line In jack on the XYH-5 capsule allows for the connection of small condenser microphones requiring 2.5 volts of Plug-In Power.On the hardware front, the H5 features intuitive transport controls and dedicated record arming buttons for each track, which also serve as mute switches during playback. A Hold switch ensures that your recording goes uninterrupted by disabling all front panel buttons. The H5's design allows for easy attachment to a camera strap or direct mounting to a DSLR or camcorder with an optional Hot Shoe mount.Connectivity is a breeze with the H5, offering dual combo XLR/TRS inputs for external microphones and line-level devices. Each input has its own dedicated gain control, protected from accidental adjustments. The XYH-5 capsule adds a secondary input for stereo mic- or line-level signals. The H5's high-quality preamps ensure excellent recordings in any sonic environment.The H5 provides a multitude of output options,...

Written by William Sheehan, a noted historian of astronomy, and Christopher J. Conselice, a professional astronomer specializing in galaxies in the early universe, this book tells the story of how astronomers have pieced together what is known about the vast and complicated systems of stars and dust known as galaxies. The first galaxies appeared as violently disturbed exotic objects when the Universe was only a few 100 million years old.  From that tortured beginning, they have evolved though processes of accretion, merging and star formation into the majestic spirals and massive ellipticals that dominate our local part of the Universe. This of course includes the Milky Way, to which the Sun and Solar System belong; it is our galactic home, and the only galaxy we will ever know from the inside.  Sheehan and Conselice show how astronomers’ understanding has grown from the early catalogs of Charles Messier and William Herschel; developed through the pioneering efforts of astronomers like E.E. Barnard, V.M. Slipher, Henrietta Leavitt, Edwin Hubble and W.W. Morgan; and finally is reaching fruition in cutting-edge research with state-of-the-art instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope that can see back to nearly the beginning of the Universe.  By combining archival research that reveals fascinating details about the personalities, rivalries and insights of the astronomers who created extragalactic astronomy with the latest data gleaned from a host of observations, the authors provide a view of galaxies – and their place in our understanding of the Universe – as they have never been seen before.

During the last few years, software evolution research has explored new domains such as the study of socio-technical aspects and collaboration between different individuals contributing to a software system, the use of search-based techniques and meta-heuristics, the mining of unstructured software repositories, the evolution of software requirements, and the dynamic adaptation of software systems at runtime. Also more and more attention is being paid to the evolution of collections of inter-related and inter-dependent software projects, be it in the form of web systems, software product families, software ecosystems or systems of systems.With this book, the editors present insightful contributions on these and other domains currently being intensively explored, written by renowned researchers in the respective fields of software evolution. Each chapter presents the state of the art in a particular topic, as well as the current research, available tool support and remaining challenges. The book is complemented by a glossary of important terms used in the community, a reference list of nearly 1,000 papers and books and tips on additional resources that may be useful to the reader (reference books, journals, standards and major scientific events in the domain of software evolution and datasets).This book is intended for all those interested in software engineering, and more particularly, software maintenance and evolution. Researchers and software practitioners alike will find in the contributed chapters an overview of the most recent findings, covering a broad spectrum of software evolution topics. In addition, it can also serve as the basis of graduate or postgraduate courses on e.g., software evolution, requirements engineering, model-driven software development or social informatics.

The first study to explore the origins of welfare in the context of local politics, this book examines the first public welfare policy created specifically for mother-only families. Chicago initiated the largest mothers' pension program in the United States in 1911. Evolving alongside movements for industrial justice and women's suffrage, the mothers' pension movement hoped to provide "justice for mothers" and protection from life's insecurities. However, local politics and public finance derailed the policy, and most women were required to earn. Widows were more likely to receive pensions than deserted women and unwed mothers. And African-American mothers were routinely excluded because they were proven breadwinners yet did not compete with white men for jobs. Ultimately, the once-uniform commitment to protect motherhood faltered on the criteria of individual support, and wage-earning became a major component of the policy. This revealing study shows how assumptions about women's roles have historically shaped public policy and sheds new light on the ongoing controversy of welfare reform.
