Overview: Treats a relatively new subject.Includes supplementary material: .These are the papers presented at the Fib-RILEM workshop held in Madrid, Spain, in November 2010. The assessment of deterioration and aging of concrete structures, most commonly?through reinforcement corrosion, is not considered in?current structural codes or standards. Some guidelines manuals exist, and research has been done, but there is as yet no accepted methodology nor models that could be used by engineers. .This book deals with all aspects related to modelling of corroding structures and provides state-of-the-a

Overview: More-than-Human Sociology is a call for a bolder, more creative sociology. Olli Pyyhtinen argues that to make sociology responsive to life in the 21st century we need a new sociological imagination, one that addresses connectivity, understands the world in which we live as both a human and non-human world, and is sensitive to the multiple scales on which things exist. A fresh and innovative take on the promise of sociology, this book will appeal to scholars and students both within sociology and the social sciences more broadly.978-1-137-53184-1

Overview: Focusing on the city of Armidale during the period 1830 to1930, this book investigates the relationship between the developmentof capitalism in a particular region (New England, Australia) and theexpression of ideology within architectural style. The author analyzeshow style encodes meaning and how it relates to the social contextsand relationships within capitalism, which in turn are related to theconstruction of ideology over time.978-1-4613-7159-5978-1-4615-4769-3Series ISSN 1574-0439

Overview: Filmwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der iranischen Diaspora.Alena Strohmaier diskutiert in diesem Open-Access-Buch die komplexen Konfigurationen von Diaspora, deren soziopolitische und kulturelle Aspekte und unternimmt eine theoretische Dimensionierung des Begriffs, indem sie diesen als sowohl r?umliche als auch filmische Kategorie versteht. Als Bindeglied zwischen den beiden Theorietraditionen dient ihr dabei die Kategorie des Raums, die als ?sthetische Kategorie gleicherma?en konstitutiv für filmische Artefakte ist, wie sie es als sozialgeografische für die Diaspora ist.

Overview: Most important formulas, statements and algorithms in mathematics and statistics for economists.Compact and clearly arranged, enables quick finding.Includes supplementary material: This collection of formulas constitutes a compendium of mathematics for eco- nomics and business. It contains the most important formulas, statements and algorithms in this significant subfield of modern mathematics and addresses primarily students of economics or business at universities, colleges and trade schools. But people dealing with practical or applied problems will also find this collection to be

Overview: Biophysical studies in the 1950ies and 1960ies led to therealization that the water permeability of certain biologicalmembranes must be due to the presence of water transporting proteins.This hypothesis was confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneeringdiscovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, byAgre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundantin the erythrocyte membrane and in many epithelial cells, is nowcalled aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporinare synonymous..In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together

Die Autoren stellen Schlagworte, Stereotypen, Klischees und Mythen kritisch infrage und wenden sich gegen den irreführenden Mainstream,

Overview: The assessment of crack initiation and/or propagation has been the subject of many past discussions on fracture mechanics. Depending on how the chosen failure criterion is combined with the solution of a particular theory of continuum mechanics, the outcome could vary over a wide range. Mod- elling of the material damage process could be elusive if the scale level of observation is left undefined. The specification of physical dimension alone is not sufficient because time and temperature also play an intimate role. It is only when the latter two variables are fixed that failure pred

Overview: In retrospect, it was obvious that we were both, quite inde- pendently, contemplating a conference on the role of molybdenum in biology and related chemistry. At the time though, the meeting of minds on this matter was quite surprising. Although this subject has been treated in previous meetings within the overall context of, say, magnetic resonance or nitrogen fixation, it was apparent to us both that research in molybdenum-containing enzymes and molyb- denum chemistry had progressed rapidly in the last several years. Jointly, we decided to organize the first meeting on Molybdenum C

Overview: The Florida Everglades, an iconic ecosystem but with highly elevated foodchain mercury levels, is perhaps the world’s most studied aquatic ecosystem with respect to the mercury problem.This book integThis book integrates 30 years of mercury research in the Florida Everglades to inform scientists and policy makers. The Everglades is an iconic ecosystem by virtue of its expanse; diversity of biota; and multiple international designations. Despite this, the Everglades has been subjected to multiple threats including: habitat loss, hydrologic alterations, invasive species and altered wat
