Globalization and Belonging: The Politics of Identity in a Changing World (New Millennium Books in International Studies)

Book Description

This is a book that will get us all thinking about the implications of identities in rapidly evolving international and country-by-country politics.

Book Description

This book recognizes that mobile, culturally-constituted individuals may construct themselves daily as groups do business, and provides managers with theory and practice for assessing their own communication and working style preferences. Managing Diverse Working Styles moves managers beyond “sensitivity” and exhortations to introduce leadership strategies that aim to bridge the diverse working and communication styles that characterize integrated and mobile contemporary workplaces.

Book Description

Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques have been studied in civil engineering for more than two decades. The techniques are recently going to be applied to practical applications and to be standardized in the codes. This is because the increase of aging structures and disastrous damages due to recent earthquakes urgently demand for maintenance and retrofit of civil structures in service for example. It results in the need for the development of advanced and effective inspection techniques. Thus, AE techniques draw a great attention to diagnostic applications and in material testing. The book covers all levels from the description of AE basics for AE beginners (level of a student) to sophisticated AE algorithms and applications.

Applications and Limitations of Two Important Numerical Methods for the Computation of Transmission Coefficients

Manufacturer: Storming Media
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Spiral-bound
ASIN: 1423562747

Product Description

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A218243. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: As a consequence of the ever-shrinking sizes of nanoelectronic devices, hitherto neglected quantum effects, such as tunneling, are becoming important for device characterization. The study of electron reflection and transmission probabilities at potential barriers is one of the important areas of active research in this field. Analytic solutions for the quantum-mechanical transmission coefficient through a potential energy profile of arbitrary shape do not exist. One conceivable method for finding the transmission coefficient through such a potential involves transfer matrices. This technique is numerically limited, unfortunately, and fails to provide adequate results for potentials of interest in the development of practical nanoelectronic devices. However, within its capabilities, the transfer matrix method is a useful reference to which other results may be compared. Another method, utilizing backward recurrence, has been proposed as a numerically stable alternative for calculating the transmission coefficient through such potentials. This second method has yet to be widely applied. This thesis investigates the capabilities and limitations of each method, with an emphasis on their scope of applicability. Extensive programming, in the C language, has been done to examine the two methods. Output from these programs has been analyzed, and the backward-recurrence method has been shown to have wider applicability, and to be faster and much more numerically stable.

Book Description

This book brings together a distinguished group of experts in occupational health and risk assessment who express diverse views on the usefulness of risk assessment in the protection of worker health. Representatives from regulatory agencies, labor, industry, and academia consider both policy and technical issues, providing a rich overview of the strengths and limitations of using risk assessment methods in the occupational health arena. Both policy and technical issues are explored. Several contributors focus on the policy implications of regulatory agencies' increasing reliance on risk assessment to guide occupational and environmental risk reduction strategies. Others consider specific methodological issues relating to the application of state-of-the-art scientific developments to the evaluation of occupational risks. Chapters are organized to consider specific aspects of the field including current applications of risk assessment methods by federal regulatory agencies; approaches to improving the use of epidemiological data in risk assessment; the use of animal bioassay data to predict occupational risks; potential uses of cutting-edge scientific data on toxicological mechanisms, toxicokinetics, and biomarkers in risk assessment; specific issues including ethics, values, and sociopolitical aspects of the process, and a concluding chapter discussing future directions to the evaluation and regulation of risks to worker health and safety. Given the range of policy and technical issues explored, this collection will be invaluable to professionals as well as academics in the fields of occupational health and environmental risk assessment.

Final Solutions hits the mark.......2000-01-02

Lerner's book describes in vivid detail how, when taken too far, people can let their own dogma get the best of them. Final Solutions extends ideas of determinism beyond the purely bilogical and includes the cultural as well. He demonstrates how people like social scientist and Social Darwinist Richard Herrstein perpetuate the belief that the society we live in today is "just and fair" to all. In that belief, one would consequently arrive at the conclusion that the poor, weak, homeless, and otherwise downtrodden are in their rightful stations in life. The author finds these views to be dangerous because of their ability to cloud the judgement of others who willingly accept it as fact rather than engaging in self-exploration.

This book thus is about much more than THE Final Solution that has become the familiar term that describes the Nazi annihilation of the Jews during WWII. It vividly points out how thoughts, followed by human aggression, followed by selection (targeting groups for mass execution or just creating social, economic, or political obstacles to their progress) is pernicious. Final Solutions descibes then the process of hate and how it is inextricably linked to one's genetic make up. That combination of enmity and genetic make up, Lerner warns us, has (and may continue to in the future) led to genocide.

On the whole, Final Solution reminds us that the doctrine of both biological and cultural determinism inhibits and outright denies human freedom --- not just to those pre-selected groups, but to us all.

Author Review.......2001-02-23

This book is aimed at lawyers and business professional looking to protect and expand their Internet presence and avoid liability when conducting business online.

The book takes a different approach to being a practice handbook - in that it has alot business information, change management tips, technology tips, practice pointers, and an entire chapter which is the equivalent of an audit checklist that the business professionals and lawyers can use as a cruch to ensure that they are counseling their clients or management on the mirad of issues that exist.

The following is a list of each chapter:

Chapter 1 Overview on the development of Internet Law Chapter 2 Establishing & Maintaining an Identity on the Internet Chapter 3 Internet Security Chapter 4 Protecting Intellectual Property in Cyberspace Chapter 5 Civil Liability in Cyberspace Chapter 6 The Law of Electronic Contracts Chapter 7 Exposure to Lawsuits in Distant Forums: Jurisdiction Chapter 8 Conducting a Legal Audit and Managing Risk Chapter 9 E-mail and Internet Usage Policies Appendix Sample Business Plans and Internet Resources for Lawyers

Thank you in advance for your consideration and we hope you enjoy the book.
