This book reviews the applications, technologies, standards, and
other issues related to Smart Cities. The book is divided into
broad topical sections including Vision & Reality, Technologies
& Standards, Transportation Considerations, and Infrastructure
& Environment. In these sections, authors who are experts in
their fields present essential aspects of applications,
technologies, requirements, and best-practices. In all cases, the
authors have direct, substantive experience with the subject and
present an important viewpoint driven by industry or governmental
interests; the authors have each participated in the development
and/or deployment of constituent technologies, standards, and
applications, and share unique perspectives on key areas of the
Smart City.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Web localization is a cognitive, textual, communicative and
technological process by which interactive web texts are modified
to be used by audiences in different sociolinguistic contexts.
Translation and Web Localization provides an in-depth and
comprehensive overview into this emerging field of study. The book
covers the key areas and main theoretical and practical approaches
of the subject, rather than a step by step practical guide. Topics
covered include the often controversial definition of localization,
how the process develops, what constitutes a text in this process,
digital genre theory and its implications, and how to conduct
research or training in this field. The book concludes with a look
into the dynamic nature of web localization and the forces, such as
crowdsourcing, that are reshaping web localization and translation
as we know it.In the light of the deep changes brought by the
Internet, Translation and Web Localization is an indispensable book
for researchers, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students
of translation studies, as well as practitioners and researchers in
related fields such as computational linguistics, applied
linguistics, Internet linguistics, digital genre theory or web
development.

A timely examination of social policy through a social
constructivist and economic lens, Social Policy and Social Change
illuminates the root causes of common social problems and how
policy has attempted to ameliorate them. In so doing, the book
focuses on how social policies in the United States can be
transformed to promote social justice for all groups. The book
uniquely offers both an historical analysis of social problems and
social policies, and an economic analysis of how capitalism and the
market economy have contributed to social problems and impacted
social policies. The book goes beyond the U.S. borders to examine
the impact of globalization in the United States and in the Global
South. It considers the meaning and impact of the election of
Barack Obama as President of the United States and explores the
policy solutions his administration has proposed to deal with the
economic recession of 2008-2009. The book also discusses social
workers as agents of social change and advocates of social and
economic justice. It examines five key realms: Poverty in families
and the welfare system, poverty among the elderly and social
security, child maltreatment and child welfare policy, health and
mental health policy, and housing policy.
A glimpse look at the inner thoughts taken from the diary of a
battled veteran. He gives details of his struggle with Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder as he sees it and how it affects him as
he fights the urges of suicide.

This collection examines the influence of liquid and solid states
during radical, ionic, and molecular reactions, specifically how
cage effect, diffusion hindrance, donor-acceptor interaction,
electrostatic interaction, dispersion forces and other factors
affect the rates, mechanism, and direction of chemical reactions.
Topics of the 11 papers include spherical hydrogel particles for
endovascular embolisation, the synthesis and thermal degradation of
phenolic resins, mono-molecular chain termination in dimethacrylate
postpolymerisation, and calculating the effect of chain deformation
on macromolecule scission. Most of the researchers work in Russia.
Contents: Mechanism of stereoregulation in Diene polymerisation on
lanthanide catalytic systems; On the compatibility of low-density
polythene/hydrolysed collagen blends; The influence of
hydrodynamics on the liquid stream's motion on the regime of work
of tubular turbulent apparatuses; FTIR monomer conversion analysis
of dental resins; The effects of coalescing additives on the MFFT
of vinyl acetate -- dibutyl maleate copolymer; Modification of
thermal characteristics of polypyromellitimide films; Formation and
properties of a catalyst based on sodium and potassium hydroxides
in the reaction on 2,6-di-tert-butyphenol with methyl acrylate;
Structural criterias of a change of a kinetic curves type in the
process of a termooxidative degradation; Effects of lead diacetate
on structure transformation and functional problems of piracetam;
evidence of the tacticity governed microstructure dependence of
substitution reactions on poly(vinyl chloride) in the melt state;
transformations of polymers in conditions of elastic-straining
influence.
