Overview: Presents theoretical analysis, experimental verification.Explains the proposed theoretical model that provides the reader.Provides the approaches verified by tests and numerical simulations.This book is written by subject experts based on the recent research results in steel plate shear walls considering the gravity load effect. It establishes a vertical stress distribution of the walls under compression and in-plane bending load and an inclination angle of the tensile field strip. The stress throughout the inclined tensile strip, as we consider the effect of the vertical stress dist

Overview: This major text addresses the relevance of sociological concepts to social work practice, arguing that lack of understanding of the ways in which social work fits into society‘s structures and is informed by its relationship with these can lead to impoverished social work practice. Written from an anti-racist, feminist perspective, it both argues for social workers to engage in empowering forms of practice and provides students, practitioners and educators with a new ‘paradigm‘ to draw on.

Overview: Offers comprehensive descriptions from the basics of various sciences related to space weather.Reviews the possible social impact of space weather disasters from the scientific viewpoint.Includes comp.Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems—communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space.

Overview: Provides an overview of social robots and underlying technologies like motion tracking or recognition of emotions and vital data.Covers application areas from collaborative industrial work in educatio.Social robots not only work with humans in collaborative workspaces – we meet them in shopping malls and even more personal settings like health and care. Does this imply they should become more human, able to interpret and adequately respond to human emotions? Do we want them to help elderly people? Do we want them to support us when we are old ourselves? Do we want them to just clean

Overview: One of the most important issues in comparative politics is the relationship between the state and society and the implications of different relationships for long-term social and economic development. Exploring the contribution states can make to overcoming collective action problems and creating collective goods favourable to social, economic, and political development, the contributors to this significant volume examine how state-society relations as well as features of state structure shape the conditions under which states seek to advance development and the conditions that make

Overview: Success in shoulder arthroplastic surgery is not necessarily dependent only on the principle of construction of a prosthetic device, nor on the way this device is implanted or fixed to the bony interface, but more so on the understanding and handling of the soft tissues surrounding the articulation. Based on their experience in basic anatomy and function, the editors of this book were able to develop a prosthetic device which can take into account individual anatomical variations in each patient, making a successful outcome of surgery much more predictable. This must-have for any sho

Overview: In der Kommunikation setzen und verhandeln wir Themen für uns selbst und für unser Gegenüber. In der Kommunikation auf Medienplattformen können sowohl journalistische und politische Akteure als auch die Nutzer*innen einzelne Themen spezifisch setzen. Jede*r könnte und jede*r kann Themen mit Hilfe der Techniken problematisieren, aufbereiten und verbreiten – zu jeder Zeit, dabei unterschiedlich relevant. Doch bedeutet allein die Möglichkeit zur Kommunikation auf Plattformen gleichzeitig auch die Möglichkeit zur Thematisierung für eine Öffentlichkeit?.Die Arbeit nimmt sich einer bestimm

Overview: Includes personal experience of doing science as well as history of the science, past and recent.Helps us to understand forces driving tectonic plates and mantle plumes.Draws a remarkable picture of t.Plate tectonics can drift continents and push up mountains, but what drives the plates? This is an insider’s account of how we answered questions posed over two centuries ago, and completed geology’s quest for a driving mechanism. Forging through confusing evidence, apparent contradictions and raging debates we arrived at not one but two mechanisms: sinking plates and rising plumes..978

Overview: Robert J. Rutten Sterrekundig Instituut Utrecht, The Netherlands Why this workshop? Why this workshop? Or rather, since the real question that arose about a year ago was not whether there should be another OAC workshop, but only what it should be about: why a workshop on granulation? To answer this question I will play an unfair trick on you. I will simply present the scientific justification which I included last autumn in a grant application to NATO‘s Scientific Affairs Division. It lists the reasons why I thought a workshop on this particular topic and at this particular moment ou
