Overview: Provides an analysis of the regionalization of sanctuaries in parts of the United States.Examines how that regionalization affects rights claims among undocumented immigrants, but also challenges statThis book argues that local governments and institutions across the state of California that offer various forms of sanctuaries to undocumented immigrants create “sanctuary regions.” These regions are safe zones for undocumented immigrants and facilitate their ability to make claims for human rights. The book also argues that these regions create an important form of resistance to federa

Overview: Explains how influence functions can be computed with finite elements.Shows that finite element programs use influence functions to calculate the results.Demonstrates how the error in the influence fu.This extended and revised second edition is intended for engineering students and researchers working with finite element methods in structural and mechanical analysis. Discussing numerical structural analysis from first mechanical and mathematical principles, it establishes the central role of influence functions (Green‘s functions) in finite element analysis, reanalysis, sensitivity a

Overview: Textiles are a key component of the industrial and consumer revolutions, yet we lack a coherent picture of how the marketing of textiles varied across the long 18th century and between different regions. This book provides important new insights into the ways in which changes in the supply of textiles related to shifting patterns of demand.978-1-349-45177-7978-1-137-29521-7

Overview: Observers in the present usually have an advantage when it comes to interpreting events of the past. In the case of software reuse, how­ ever, it is unclear why an idea that has gained such universal accep­ tance was the source of swirling controversy when it began to be taken seriously by the software engineering community in the mid-1980‘s. From a purely conceptual point of view, the reuse of software de­ signs and components promises nearly risk-free benefits to the devel­ oper. Virtually every model of software cost and development effort predicts first-order dependencies on eith

Overview: This volume focuses on the genetic, molecular and cellular components involved in the communication between partners of well-known symbioses, but also reports on the advances for less studied systems..A multiplicity of biotrophic micro-organisms interact with plants in nature, forming symbiotic relationships that range from mutualism to antagonism. Microorganisms that have adopted biotrophy as a lifestyle are able to colonize the plant and often to cross the plant cell boundaries by forming intracellular structures that are the site of nutrient uptake/exchange. To establish themselve

Overview: Spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren wird in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Strategie, Innovation und Wettbewerb die Bedeutung der Konvergenz von Märkten hervorgehoben. Eine systematische Analyse der Marktkonvergenz aus strategietheoretischer Sicht fand jedoch nur ansatzweise statt. ..Nils Stieglitz rekonstruiert und diskutiert den in der Literatur verwendeten Konvergenzbegriff und entwickelt eine Typologie der Marktkonvergenz. Dabei wird die Konvergenz durch technologische Substitution und Integration sowie substitutive und komplementäre Produktkonvergenz unte

Overview: .Social Work and Community Care. makes a powerful case for the effective involvement of social work skills, knowledge and values as part of the effective development of policy and multi-professional practice in community care. Malcolm Payne shows how ideas of community and community care are entwined with the development of social work and the social services. Each stage of the community care process is examined in turn to show how social work liaison and interpersonal skills are needed in creating and implementing care packages effectively.
