Advanced characterization methods, techniques, and new instruments are emphasized. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: ..·      Novel methods and techniques for characterizing materials across a spectrum of systems and processes. ..·      Characterization of mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, dielectric, magnetic, physical, and other properties of materials. ..·      Characteriza

Overview: Chip multiprocessors - also called multi-core microprocessors or CMPs for short - are now the only way to build high-performance microprocessors, for a variety of reasons. Large uniprocessors are no longer scaling in performance, because it is only possible to extract a limited amount of parallelism from a typical instruction stream using conventional superscalar instruction issue techniques. In addition, one cannot simply ratchet up the clock speed on today‘s processors, or the power dissipation will become prohibitive in all but water-cooled systems. Compounding these problems is t

Overview: Calls attention with a detailed expounding of Early China thinking about the explanation of the meaning of the world.Analyzes systematically the semiotic thoughts in the pre-Qin period of China.Takes This book examines practices on the relationship between sign and meaning in the Pre-Imperial period of China from the semiotics perspective. Although the Chinese civilization did not develop a comprehensive semiotics system in that period, they are highly semiotic in many ways. The thinking and application of signs of Chinese people can be found in many classics, such as The Book of Cha

Overview: Explores the impact of neoliberalisation on community education.Argues that community education has been negatively reshaped by forces of labour-market activation, vocationalisation and marketisation.This book explores community education in Ireland and argues that neoliberalism has had a profound effect on community education. Rather than retain its foundational characteristics of collective, equality-led principles and practices, community education has lost much of its independence and has been reshaped into spaces characterised by labour-market activation, vocationalisation and m

Overview: Provides a critical analysis of the domestic and commercial exploitation of children.Offers a careful explanation of the differing forms of commercial exploitation of children and victim and offender The commercial exploitation of children is a global crisis (Rahman, 2011; Svensson, 2006). However, media outlets and sociological researchers have successfully situated the problem as a primarily Asian, South American, or Eastern European concern. In the process, the exploitation of children in the United States has largely been ignored.  The continued trafficking of international youth

Overview: Great advances have been made in understanding hearing in recent years. In particular, the mechanical function of the cochlea has become the focus of intense interest. This started in one direction, with the discovery of otoacoustic emissions in 1978, which required active mechanical amplification processes, as first postulated by Gold in 1948. Direct evidence for the role of this mechanism in sharpening-up the otherwise poor, basilar membrane tuning properties, was provided in 1982; and in 1983, motility was shown in outer hair cells. In parallel, an immense amount of work has been

Overview: Provides new insights in risk, maltreatment, well-being and protection of children in diverse communities.Addresses the need for a context-informed perspective in designing prevention and interventionThis volume adopts a context-informed framework exploring risk, maltreatment, well-being and protection of children in diverse groups in Israel. It incorporates the findings of seven case studies conducted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem‘s NEVET Greenhouse of Context-Informed Research and Training for Children in Need. Each case study applies a context-informed approach to the stud

Overview: Analyses all five of Achebe‘s novels.Examines Achebe not only from a literary perspective, but also in linguistic and political terms.Draws on the commentaries of scholars and writers such as Bhabha, This book examines vital intersections of narration, linguistic innovation, and political insight that distinguish Chinua Achebe’s fiction as well as his non-fiction commentaries. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these intersections: Achebe’s narrative response to Western authors who have written on Africa, his integration of Igbo folklore, the political implications of writ
