Written by one of the most significant contributors to the progress
of protein crystallography, this practical guide contains case
studies, a troubleshooting section and pointers on data
interpretation. It covers the theory, practice and latest
achievements in x-ray crystallography, such that any researcher in
structural biology will benefit from this extremely clearly written
book.
Part A covers the theoretical basis and such experimental
techniques as principles of x-ray diffraction, solutions for the
phase problem and time-resolved x-ray crystallography.
Part B includes case studies for different kinds of x-ray crystal
structure determination, such as the MIRAS and MAD techniques,
molecular replacement, and the difference Fourier technique.
This book presents the life stories of nine boys to examine the
differential use of violence as a resource for "doing masculinity"
in specific situations and circumstances thus helping us understand
the highly gendered ratio of crime in industrialized societies as
well as national tragedies.
Sociologists and criminologists have long known that there is a
relationship between masculinity and crime, for gender has been
advanced consistently as the strongest predictor of criminal
involvement. Nine Lives, written by one of the most respected
authorities on the subject of gender and crime, provides a
fascinating account of the connection a
This proceedings volume features selected contributions from the
conference Positivity X. The field of positivity deals with ordered
mathematical structures and their applications. At the biannual
series of Positivity conferences, the latest developments in this
diverse field are presented. The 2019 edition was no different,
with lectures covering a broad spectrum of topics, including vector
and Banach lattices and operators on such spaces, abstract
stochastic processes in an ordered setting, the theory and
applications of positive semi-groups to partial differential
equations, Hilbert geometries, positivity in Banach algebras and,
in particular, operator algebras, as well as applications to
mathematical economics and financial mathematics. The contributions
in this book reflect the variety of topics discussed at the
conference. They will be of interest to researchers in functional
analysis, operator theory, measure and integration theory, operator
algebras, and economics. Positivity X was dedicated to the memory
of our late colleague and friend, Coenraad Labuschagne. His
untimely death in 2018 came as an enormous shock to the Positivity
community. He was a prominent figure in the Positivity community
and was at the forefront of the recent development of abstract
stochastic processes in a vector lattice context.
Analyzing the speeches of the two Bush presidencies, this book
presents a new conceptualization of hegemonic masculinity by making
the case for a multiplicity of hegemonic masculinites locally,
regionally, and globally. This book outlines how state leaders may
appeal to particular hegemonic masculinites in their attempt to
"sell" wars and thereby camouflage salient political practices in
the process. Messerschmidt offers a fresh historical perspective on
the war against Iraq over an 18-year period, and he argues that we
cannot truly understand this war outside of its gendered
(masculine) and historical context.

Vivid narratives, fresh insights, and new theories on where gender
theory and research stand today Since scholars began interrogating
the meaning of gender and sexuality in society, this field has
become essential to the study of sociology. Gender Reckonings aims
to map new directions for understanding gender and sexuality within
a more pragmatic, dynamic, and socially relevant framework. It
shows how gender relations must be understood on a large scale as
well as in intimate detail. The contributors return to the basics,
questioning how gender patterns change, how we can realize gender
equality, and how the structures of gender impact daily life.
Gender Reckonings covers not only foundational concepts of gender
relations and gender justice, but also explores postcolonial
patterns of gender, intersectionality, gender fluidity, transgender
practices, neoliberalism, and queer theory. Gender Reckonings
combines the insights of gender and sexuality scholars from
different generations, fields, and world regions. The editors and
contributors are leading social scientists from six continents, and
the book gives vivid accounts of the changing politics of gender in
different communities. Rich in empirical detail and novel thinking,
Gender Reckonings is a lasting resource for students, researchers,
activists, policymakers, and everyone concerned with gender
justice.
The Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) discipline deals
with the alignment of business and information systems
architectures. While EAM has long been regarded as a discipline for
IT managers, this book takes a different stance: It explains how
top executives can use EAM to leverage their strategic planning and
controlling processes, as well as how it can contribute to their
sustainable competitive advantage. Based on the analysis of best
practices from eight leading European companies from various
industries, the book presents the crucial elements of successful
EAM. It outlines what executives need to do in terms of governance,
processes, methodologies, and culture in order to bring their
management to the next level. Beyond this, the book points out how
EAM could develop in the next decade, thus allowing today's
managers to prepare for the future architecture management.

This book explores the constitutional, legally binding dimension to
legisprudence in the light of the German Federal Constitutional
Courts approach to rational lawmaking. Over the last decades this
court has been remarkably active in applying legisprudential
criteria and standards when reviewing parliamentary laws. It has
thus supplied observers with a unique material to analyse the
lawmakers' duty to legislate rationally, and to assess the virtues
and drawbacks of this strand of judicial control in a
constitutional democracy. By bringing together legislation experts
and public law scholars to elaborate on 'legisprudence under
review', this contributed volume aspires to shed light on the
constitutionalisation of rational lawmaking as a controversial
trend gaining ground in both national and international
jurisdictions. The book is divided into five parts. Part I frames
the two key issues pervading the whole collection: the intricate
relationship between judicial review and democracy, on the one
hand, and the possibility of improving and rationalizing the task
of legislation under the current circumstances of politics, on the
other. Part II provides an overview of the judicial review of
rational lawmaking, laying special emphasis on the duty of
legislative justification imposed on lawmakers by the German
Constitutional Court. Part III is devoted to the review of the
systemic rationality of legislation, in particular to the
requirements of legislative consistence and coherence as developed
by this court. Contributions in Part IV revolve around the judicial
scrutiny of the socio-empirical elements of rational lawmaking,
with the control of legislative facts and impacts and the problem
of symbolic laws being the central topics. Finally, Part V draws on
the German case law to discuss the links between rational
lawmaking, balancing and proportionality, and the interdependence
between process review and substantive review of legislation.

Very many structural materials like metals and ceramics are of
crystalline nature.Undermostoftheconditions,
theyundergoplasticdeformationbefore they fail under load. The
plastic deformation is mediated by the gene- tion and motion of
one-dimensional crystal defects, the so-called dislocations. Thus,
the density and dynamic properties of the dislocations determine
the plastic behavior of the respective materials and frequently
also their failure. Thedislocationdynamics, that is, the
responseofthedislocationsto anext- nal load, is controlled by the
interaction between the moving dislocations with the periodic

Bangdel's life was infused with a deep understanding and empathy
for the oppressed of his native land. His artistic works served
both to interpret and to preserve the rich ancient culture of his

The issue of practising anthropology in one's own society is the
focus of this volume of seventeen essays, originally published in
1981. The contributions, written by US and Canadian
anthropologists, deal with methods, theories and styles of doing
research in North America. Rich and sometimes candid descriptions
of the strategies and orienting concepts employed to order the data
and the research experience made this book a contribution to both
theory and method. Traditionally, the research domains of
anthropologists have been societies and cultures other than their
own. Research by anthropologists in their own societies received
renewed emphasis partly because of a heightened awareness of social
problems. This book examines how innovative scholars applied
anthropology to non-traditional research questions in urban and
rural society, in health and education systems, and in the field of
contract anthropology.
Ideal for undergraduate courses in criminology--especially those
taught from a critical perspective--Criminology: A Sociological
Approach, Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive yet highly accessible
introduction to the study of crime and criminological theory.
Authors Piers Beirne and James W. Messerschmidt present the topic
from a sociological standpoint, emphasizing the social construction
of crime and showing how crime relates to gender, class, race, and
age. Providing students with a strong theoretical foundation, the
book also addresses historical, feminist, and comparative
perspectives and highlights the major types of crime and
victimization patterns. THE TEXT IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS: *
Part I focuses on four questions: "What is crime?" "How are
perceptions of it influenced by the mass media and by fear of
crime?" "How can we measure how much crime there is in the United
States?" and finally, "How often does crime occur and with what
degrees of seriousness?" * Part II is a systematic guide to modern
criminological theory and its historical development * Part III
examines specific types of crime, including property crime,
interpersonal violence, white-collar crime, and political crime,
and it concludes with a chapter on comparative criminology and
globalization The sixth edition features new and up-to-date
empirical data and also covers areas not included in many
criminology texts, like cultural criminology, green criminology,
whiteness and crime, the rape-war connection, Ponzi schemes,
domestic right-wing terrorism, and state-sanctioned torture.
