Understanding sectoral determination 9: The wholesale & retail
sector presents a non-legalistic commentary on the specific minimum
conditions of employment applicable to persons employed in South
Africa in this sector. The key provisions of the sectoral
determination are covered in a systematic manner, with 'Key Point'
summaries at the end of each section. Understanding sectoral
determination 9 also contains the text of the legislation for easy
reference. All employers in this sector are required, in terms of
s36 of the determination, to have a copy of the determination
available at the workplace. This title fulfills that requirement,
as well as providing an explanation of the law.
Introduces Systematic Formulations for Use in Acoustic Applications
Acoustics in Moving Inhomogeneous Media, Second Edition offers a
uniquely complete and rigorous study of sound propagation and
scattering in moving media with deterministic and random
inhomogeneities. This study is of great importance in many fields
including atmospheric and oceanic acoustics, aeroacoustics,
acoustics of turbulent flows, remote sensing of the atmosphere and
ocean, noise pollution in the atmosphere, and wave propagation.
Provides Sensible Explanations Using Step-by-Step Practice The book
begins by considering sound propagation through moving media with
deterministic inhomogeneities such as vertical profiles of
temperature and wind velocity in the atmosphere. It moves on to a
new study of sound propagation and scattering in media with random
inhomogeneities in adiabatic sound speed, density, and medium
velocity. Then this second edition newly sets out state-of-the-art
numerical methods for calculating the sound field and its
statistical characteristics in moving inhomogeneous media, which is
particularly useful for those working in atmospheric acoustics and
studying noise pollution. Numerical codes are provided on the
book's website www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780415564168 Covered
in three parts, this second edition: Incorporates new results
developed since the previous edition Rewrites and extends the text
with formulations of sound propagation and scattering in random
moving media Describes numerical methods for performing
calculations involving equations from the first two parts Acoustics
in Moving Inhomogeneous Media, Second Edition serves as the basis
of a graduate course in atmospheric and oceanic acoustics or as a
rigorous reference work in a wide range of fields such as
atmospheric and oceanic acoustics, aeroacoustics, acoustics of
turbulent flows, acoustic remote sensing, noise pollution, and wave
propagation in deterministic and random media.

In the distal regions of the human lung, one of the most
challenging problems facing a large multicellular organism is
solved-ensuring an adequate supply of oxygen for aerobic tissue
metabolism while removing associated waste products. Conduits for
both air and blood converge at the alveolar level to match
ventilation with perfusion and thus assure the free diffusion of
oxygen and carbon dioxide. Despite their thin walls and their
intimate relationship to the pulmonary capillary bed, the alveolus
must present a barrier function robust enough to resist alveolar
flooding from the hydrostatic pressures generated by the weight of
the lungs and the volume of blood in the pulmonary circuit. The
strategic position of the alveolar region and its vast associated
capillary network ensure its importance in the synthesis and
degradation of a wide range of molecules. Finally, the alveoli have
evolved important immune functions vital to protecting the host
from a variety of inhaled pollutants and microorganisms.
Understanding alveolar structure and function is essential not only
to appreciate the elegance of the human lung in its pristine state
but also to understand the perturbations that underlay many lung
diseases.
Whisperings of Far West reveals the fascinating history of a once
prominent Mormon settlement that has all but disappeared. Though
the city, (the first county seat of Caldwell County, Missouri),
rose and was destroyed in a very short time span, the riveting
scenes that occurred there form a vital part of Mormon history and
reveal much about the emotional, political, spiritual and physical
struggles of an oppressed and misunderstood people, who were
striving to serve their God against overwhelming odds. The
historical vignettes within this book, enhanced by poems, ballads,
parables and sonnets, give voice to the compelling history of those
faithful Saints who lived at Far West, and provide a spiritually
powerful framework for truly understanding their lives and destiny.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
