The mechanical properties of small volumes of materials such as
thin films and patterned structures can be very different from the
mechanical properties of those same materials in bulk. Many
explanations of the mechanical behaviors of such small volumes have
depended on simplified models of dislocation behavior. However,
recent developments in dislocation modeling have made it possible
to understand dislocation behavior in much more detail than before.
A wide range of topics is presented in these proceedings, including
mechanisms of plastic deformation in heteroepitaxial, multilayered
and polycrystalline thin films, as well as three-dimensional
mesostructures such as epitaxial islands, semiconducting devices
and microcrystallites. Experimental, theoretical and numerical
simulations are addressed. Topics include: dislocation and
deformation mechanisms in thin metal films and multilayers;
discrete dislocations - observations and simulations; dislocations
and deformation mechanisms in thin films and small structures;
dislocations in small structures; dislocations and deformation in
epitaxial layers; dislocation fundamentals -observations,
calculations and simulations.

The theme of warfare as a collective enterprise investigated in the
theatres of both land and sea. From warhorses to the men-at-arms
who rode them; armies that were raised to the lords who recruited,
led, administered, and financed them; and ships to the mariners who
crewed them; few aspects of the organisation and logistics ofwar in
late medieval England have escaped the scholarly attention, or
failed to benefit from the insights, of Dr Andrew Ayton. The
concept of the military community, with its emphasis on warfare as
a collective social enterprise, has always lain at the heart of his
work; he has shown in particular how this age of warfare is
characterised by related but intersecting military communities,
marked not only by the social and political relationships within
armies and navies, but by communities of mind, experience, and
enterprise. The essays in this volume, ranging from the late
thirteenth to the early fifteenth century, address various aspects
of this idea. They offer investigations of soldiers' and mariners'
equipment; their obligations, functions, status, and recruitment;
and the range and duration of their service. Gary P. Baker is a
Research Associate at the University of East Angliaand a Researcher
in History at the University of Groningen; Craig L. Lambert is
Lecturer in Maritime History at the University of Southampton;
David Simpkin teaches history at Birkenhead Sixth-Form College.

Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has
all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that
focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast,
offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings
together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the
manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history,
demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in
defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse
the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English
maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations
of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the
British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether
through their own lived experiences or through material culture.
The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between
English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the
intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.
A widespread misunderstanding concerning leveraged buyouts (LBOs) is the belief that they accomplish little but the ruin of companies and the loss of employment. How else could it be? Until recently, journalists, including much of the business press, have depicted LBO specialists as generally greedy, if not sinister, forces whose activities compound the dislocations of modern American economic and social life. This kind of criticism reached a crescendo in the press and in Congress at the end of the 1980s, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts found itself in the middle of the controversy. Based on interviews with partners of the firm and on unprecedented access to KKR's records, George P. Baker and George David Smith have written a definitive account of how KKR has approached LBOs in a book that will appeal to the specialist and general reader alike. The authors focus on KKR's founding, evolution, and innovations as ways to understand issues in modern American business. In examining KKR as a unique form of enterprise--one that subscribes to a set of alternative perspectives on business and value creation--the book bridges the gap between public perception and academic knowledge of how financial innovation impacts economic life. The firm's approach to leveraged buyouts was an important aspect of the corporate restructuring and governance reforms in the American economy from the mid-1970s through 1990 (the years of what some have called the "leveraged buyout movement"). KKR and other companies fundamentally altered the prevailing perception of the role of debt in the modern American corporation and established an alternative model for organizing and managing corporate enterprises. KKR financed the companies it acquired with high levels of debt, while linking their ownership to management. It then imposed rigorous monitoring by the board of directors over the companies in its portfolio. This combination of factors forced managers to concentrate not on growth but rather on how to achieve value through whatever means was most appropriate to the company's circumstances. The purpose of the leveraged buyout was to realize, or "create," value in companies by reforming their management systems. KKR's approach to restructuring the relationship between owners and managers in a highly leveraged firm rested on a basic principle: Make managers owners by making them invest a significant share of their personal wealth in the enterprises they manage, and they will have stronger incentives to act in the best interests of all shareholders.

Winner of the 2017 Award for Significant Research on International
Higher Education (CIHE/ASHE) Winner of the 2018 American Publishers
Awards for Professional & Scholarly Excellence: Education
Theory In The Century of Science, a multicultural, international
team of authors examine the global rise of scholarly research in
science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and health (STEM+)
fields. This insightful text provides historical and sociological
understandings of the ways that higher education has become an
institution that, more than ever before, shapes science and
society. Case studies, supported by the most historically and
spatially extensive database on STEM+ publications available, of
selected countries in Europe, North America, East Asia, and the
Middle East, emphasize recurring themes: the institutionalization
and differentiation of higher education systems to the
proliferation of university-based scientific research fostered by
research policies that support continued university expansion
leading to the knowledge society. Growing worldwide, research
universities appear to be the most legitimate sites for knowledge
production. The chapters offer new insights into how countries
develop the university-based knowledge thought fundamental to
meeting social needs and economic demands. Despite repeated
warnings that universities would lose in relevance to other
organizational forms in the production of knowledge, these findings
demonstrate incontrovertibly that universities have become more-not
less-important actors in the world of knowledge. The past hundred
years have seen the worldwide triumph of the research university.
