Academic Conversation: First Year College Writing invites students to not only hone their writing skills, but to participate in and contribute to timely academic conversations. Students learn how to effectively "listen" to others and "hear" their ideas through reading texts written for a variety of audiences. After thoughtfully considering diverse perspectives, students are encouraged to respond by writing academic essays. In doing so, they learn to add to scholarly debates-a skill that will be at the center of their college and university studies. The book is divided into five subject areas that are both prevalent in academic conversations and important to students today: communication in the social media age, changes to the "model family," living a good life, ethnic and cultural diversity, and differences in generational values. Each section provides a brief introduction to the topic, a set of essays expressing different points of view, and writing prompts that challenge students to express their views as informed by the readings. Designed to help students develop key competencies that support growth in college and beyond, Academic Conversation is an ideal resource for first-year courses and programs, as well as introductory courses in composition or English.

The presence of expatriate humanitarian workers in African cities is not neutral. Country capitals receive large and sudden influx of expatriates during humanitarian crises responses. This book examines the influence of this presence on the local urban ecosystem, from the building of a security discourse to the self-segregation of aid agencies in expatriate enclaves. The examples of Abidjan, Bamako, Juba and Nairobi illustrate different variants of urban change induced by the normative power of aid organisations.

Clinics in Developmental Medicine No. 168

This book describes the effects that different kinds of epilepsy in children can have on the child's behavior and cognitive development. It is mainly based on the authors' extensive studies over many years. These are described in the book, together with the available diagnostic methods and therapies. It is written so that the various professionals dealing with such children (pediatricians, neurologists, psychologists) can see their contribution and have a general view of the complex interrelation between medical psychological and educational problems in these children.

R2,245 Discovery Miles 22 450 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book covers the field of neutrino physics and astrophysics, providing an up-to-date presentation of the different research topics on the frontier of the field. It starts with a historical description to understand how the different aspects of our knowledge about the neutrinos evolved up to the present state. The main required elements of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions are introduced, and the different neutrino interactions and detection techniques are presented. We introduce the various ways to give neutrinos a mass and the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations which provides the main evidence for non-vanishing neutrino masses. We then consider the neutrinos produced in the Sun, what we have learned from them, and how they can also be useful to study our star. The geoneutrinos produced by the radioactivity in the Earth are discussed and the status of their detection is presented. We survey the neutrino production in the supernova explosions at the end of the life of very massive stars, what has been observed in SN1987A, and what could be learned from a future supernova or from the observation of the diffuse supernova neutrino background. We describe in detail the neutrino production by cosmic rays interacting in the atmosphere, the evidence for their flavor oscillations, and the oscillograms to describe their flavor change in terrestrial matter. The different mechanisms of production of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos and the observations achieved with the IceCube detector are presented, also discussing their flavor content by means of the flavor triangle. We then examine the cosmological neutrino background, its impact on Big Bang nucleosynthesis and on the CMB observations, with the associated bound on their masses and effective number. Finally, we review the basics of the leptogenesis scenarios, which provide an attractive explanation for the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

Globalisation and the governance of the international financial system have arrived at the crossroads, where either a coherent level playing field for the cross-border activities of banks and multinational enterprises is settled upon, or the risk of another crisis will build up again. This book will explore the underlying problems alongside inconsistent economic and financial trends as a guide for researchers, advanced students and professionals to think about the interconnectedness of the factors involved. Readers will gain insights drawn from recent developments in economic theory and empirical research-a toolkit to help them in their future careers in economics and finance-illustrated with an analysis of the 2008 crisis and its aftermath.

Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings - Methods for Diagnosis and Evaluation (Hardcover): Claude-Alain Roulet Ventilation and Airflow in Buildings - Methods for Diagnosis and Evaluation (Hardcover)
Claude-Alain Roulet
R5,005 Discovery Miles 50 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Energy efficiency in buildings requires, among other things, that ventilation be appropriately dimensioned: too much ventilation wastes energy, and insufficient ventilation leads to poor indoor air quality and low comfort. Studies have shown that ventilation systems seldom function according to their commissioned design. They have also shown that airflow measurement results are essential in improving a ventilation system. This key handbook explains why ventilation in buildings should be measured and describes how to measure it, giving applied examples for each measurement method. The book will help building physicists and ventilation engineers to properly commission ventilation systems and appropriately diagnose ventilation problems throughout the life of a building. Drawing on over 20 years of experience and the results of recent international research projects, this is the definitive guide to diagnosing airflow patterns within buildings.

The Power of Being Divisive - Understanding Negative Social Evaluations (Hardcover): Thomas J. Roulet The Power of Being Divisive - Understanding Negative Social Evaluations (Hardcover)

In the last decade, research on negative social evaluations, from adverse reputation to extreme stigmatization, has burgeoned both at the individual and organizational level. Thus far, this research has largely focused on major corporate risks. Corporate public relations and business executives intuitively know that a negative image deters important relationships—from customers and partners, to applicants, stakeholders, and potential funding. At the same time, business is conducted in an age of heightened connection, including digital platforms for criticism and a 24-hour news cycle. Executives know that some degree of public disapproval is increasingly unavoidable. Negative social evaluations can also put social actors on the map. In the era of identity politics, many political leaders express controversial views to appeal to specific audiences and gain in popularity. Through network and signaling effects, being controversial can potentially pay off. Thomas J. Roulet offers a framework for understanding not only how individuals and organizations can survive in an age of increasing scrutiny, but how negative social evaluations can surprisingly yield positive results. A growing body of work has begun to show that being "up against the rest" is an active driver of corporate identity, and that firms that face strong public hostility can benefit from internal bonding. Synthesizing this work with his original research, and drawing comparisons to work on misconduct and scandals, Roulet addresses an important gap by providing a broader perspective to link the antecedents and consequences of negative social evaluations. Moreover, he reveals the key role that audiences play in assessing these consequences, whether positive or negative, and the crucial function of media in establishing conditions in which public disapproval can bring positive results. Examples and cases cover Uber and Google, Monsanto, Electronic Arts, and the investment banking industry during the financial crisis.

Es werden immer Grenzfalle auftreten, die sich nur schwer oder gar nicht einer der beiden Gruppen eindeutig zuordnen lassen. Mancher dieser Grenzfalle gehort in den Bereich des Commensalismus ("Mitessen am gleichen Tisch") und Mutualismus ("gegenseitige" Hille, auf die die Partner nicht angewiesen sind); hierher gehoren viele aus der Zoologie her wohlbekannte Beispiele, die friiher vielfach irrtiimlich als Symbiosen gekennzeichnet wurden, wie das Zusammenleben der Seeanemone mit dem Einsiedlerkrebs u. a. Wenn auch beide eng zusammenleben, so sind sie doch nicht aufeinander angewiesen, sondern konnen auch fiir sich aHein existieren. Als Commensalen sind sicher manche Bakterien und manche Protozoen im Darm des Menschen anzusehen, so z. B. die DarmflageHaten des Dickdarms. Saprophyten leben dagegen in toten organischen Zerfalls. produkten, die u. a. auch im Darm vorkommen; sie konnen aber - im Gegensatz z. B. zu Darmflagellaten - ebenso im Freien existieren. CAMERON (1956) steht auf dem Standpunkt, daB bei dem gegenwartigen Stand unserer Kenntnisse eine wissenschaftliche Definition des Begriffes "Parasitismus" nicht moglich sei, und stellt einfach fest: "Ein Parasit ist ein Organismus, der einen Wirt hat" ("A parasit is an organism which has a host"). Dabei liegt auch das Bestreben zugrunde, von jeglichem anthropozentrischen oder okonomischen Gesichtspunkt abzusehen und das biologische Phanomen des Zusammenlebens zweier artverschiedener Organismen an sich zu betrachten. Aber dieses durchaus verstandliche Bemiihen iibersieht dabei die Tatsache, daB die Wirkung eines Mikroorganismus, der auf oder in einem Wirt lebt, fiir den Partner recht ver. schieden sein kann (vgl. unten, S.9, 17 und 41ff.)."

fuhrt zu einem sehr unterschiedlichen Verhalten gegenuber den verschiedenen Fixationsmitteln. Die Mitosen sollen in der Haut wie in anderen Organen rhyth misch verlaufen 1, wie nach den klassischen Befunden von FLEMMING bereits 2 anzunehmen war * Sie werden im excidierten Gewebe zu Ende gefuhrt, falls 3 nicht die Fixation genugend schnell die Zellen erfasst * Der Teilungsrhythmus ist an die Tageszeit gebunden und erfolgt anscheinend daneben noch wellenfoermig innerhalb der Epidermis, so dass wir Mitosen, wenn uberhaupt, dann gehauft 4 5 antreffen * Dies gilt auch fur die irritierte Oberhaut * Wir sind schliesslich nicht berechtigt, aus einem zu irgendeinem Zeitpunkt einer Hauterkrankung entnommenen Gewebsstuck auf die Pathogenese und erst recht nicht auf die Ursache zu schliessen. Ursache, ausloesendes Moment, Lokali sationsfaktor, unterhaltende Faktoren, sekundare Schaden und Reparationsvor gange sind auseinanderzuhalten, was im histologischen Schnitt allein kaum moeg lich ist. Die sekundaren, von der eigentlichen Erkrankung unabhangigen Gewebs veranderungen spielen an der Haut eine ganz andere Rolle als in inneren Organen, da sie den Eingriffen der Umwelt (Kratzen, Medikamente, Waschmittel, Traumen) ausgesetzt ist. In der Haut, wie in jedem Organ, greifen die verschiedenen Funktionsablaufe ineinander, eine Stoerung loest die andere aus.

Das vorliegende Buch soll, nach dem Wunsch des Springer-Verlages, das bekannte Werk von G. SCHMORL "Die pathologisch-histologischen Unter- suchungsmethoden" ersetzen, welches aus verschiedenen Grunden nicht mehr verlegt wird. Infolgedessen wurde mein Buch zum grossen Teil in Anlehnung an Schmorls Werk geschrieben. Viele Abschnitte sind allerdings nach anderen Gesichtspunkten verfasst worden; die Fortschritte der letzten Jahre auf dem Gebiete der histologischen Untersuchungsmethoden brachten es mit sich, dass eine grosse Zahl neuer und zuverlassiger Methoden berucksichtigt werden mussten. Ich habe mich bemuht, nur solche Methoden zu beschreiben, die mich im Laufe der Jahre befriedigt haben und mit denen man unter optimalen Be- dingungen brauchbare Ergebnisse erhalten kann. Diesbezuglich wird sich aller- dings in Zukunft manches noch andern mussen, weil die verschiedenen Farb- stoffe, mit denen gearbeitet wurde, zur Zeit nicht immer erhaltlich sind. Es wird sich zeigen, inwieweit die neuen Produkte der chemischen Industrie die uns bekannten Farbstoffe zu ersetzen vermoegen. Aus diesem Grunde ist es moeglich, dass die eine oder andere Methode den Untersucher nicht sofort be- friedigen wird; er sollte nicht von vorneherein eine solche Methode verurteilen, sondern aus eigenem Antrieb versuchen, mit den ihm zur Verfugung stehenden Mitteln, auf Grund der Angaben dieses Buches, ein brauchbares Verfahren herau'lzuarbeiten. Eine Prufung aller neuen Farbstoffe war mir schlechter- dings noch nicht moeglich; so besitze ich beispielsweise keinerlei Erfahrung mit amerikanischen Farben. Allen, die mir mit technischer Hilfe beigestanden haben, sage ich herzlichen Dank.

1m urspriinglichen Entwurf dieses Handbuchs vor zwei Jahrzehnten hatten wir geplant, dem Band II "Die Zelle" in Band III die allgemeine Pathologie der "Zwischensubstanzen, Gewebe und Organe" folgen zu lassen. Aus vielfachen Er- fahrungen ist diese strenge Zasur zwischen den Zellen und den Zwischensubstanzen heute nicht mehr aufrecht zu halten. Das gilt besonders yom Nervensystem in seinen normalen und krankhaft veranderlen Strukturen. So sind wir HERMANN HAGER besonders dankbar, daB er im ersten Beitrag dieses Bandes: "Allgemeine morphologische Pathologie des Nervensystems" von der unauflosbaren Einheit der cellularen und zwischenzelligen Strukturen des Nervensystems in Orlhologie und Pathologie ausgegangen ist. Erstmals wieder seit SPIELMEYERS "Histopathologie des Nervensystems" von 1922 werden hier die Strukturelemente des Nervensystems unter den Prinzipien der allgemeinen Patho- logie dargestellt, diesmal vor allem auch die Veranderungen der Feinstrukturen im elektronenmikroskopischen Bild. Unter dem Leitmotiv "Organstruktur als Grundlage der Organleistung und Organerkrankung" schlieBt sich der Beitrag von HUGO NOETZEL tiber "Das zentrale und periphere N ervensystem" an; er veranschaulicht die Bedeutung des Bauplans des Nervensystems fUr seine Pathologie an einer Reihe typischer Er- krankungen. Die Vereinigung dieser beiden Beitrage im gleichen Bandteil rechtferligt sich nicht zuletzt durch das allgemeine groBe theoretische und praktische Interesse fUr die morphologische Pathologie des Nervensystems in unseren Tagen. Moge der Band unter den Gesichtspunkten der allgemeinen Pathologie zu einem vertiefteren Verstandnis dieses Systems und seiner Orthologie und Patho- logie beitragen.
