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.

This book reports on the 13th International Workshop on Railway
Noise (IWRN13), held on September 16-20, 2019, in Ghent, Belgium.
It gathers original peer-reviewed papers describing the latest
developments in railway noise and vibration, as well as
state-of-the-art reviews written by authoritative experts in the
field. The different papers cover a broad range of railway noise
and vibration topics, such as rolling noise, wheel squeal, noise
perception, prediction methods, measurements and monitoring, and
vehicle interior noise. Further topics include rail roughness, rail
corrugation and grinding, high-speed rail and aerodynamic noise,
structure-borne noise, ground-borne noise and vibration, and
resilient track forms. Policy, criteria and regulation are also
discussed. Offering extensive and timely information to both
scientists and engineers, this book will help them in their daily
efforts to identify, understand and solve problems related to
railway noise and vibration, and to achieve the ultimate goal of
reducing the environmental impact of railway systems.

The book reports on the 11th International Workshop on Railway
Noise, held on 9 - 13 September, 2013, in Uddevalla, Sweden. The
event, which was jointly organized by the Competence Centre
Chalmers Railway Mechanics (CHARMEC) and the Departments of Applied
Mechanics and Applied Acoustics at Chalmers University of
Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, covered a broad range of topics
in the field of railway noise and vibration, including: prospects,
legal regulations and perceptions; wheel and rail noise;
prediction, measurements and monitoring; ground-borne vibration;
squeal noise and structure-borne noise; and aerodynamic noise
generated by high-speed trains. Further topics included: resilient
track forms; grinding, corrugation and roughness; and interior
noise and sound barriers. This book, which consists of a collection
of peer-reviewed papers originally submitted to the workshop, not
only provides readers with an overview of the latest developments
in the field, but also offers scientists and engineers essential
support in their daily efforts to identify, understand and solve a
number of problems related to railway noise and vibration, and to
achieve their ultimate goal of reducing the environmental impact of
railway systems.

"Holy War: The Blood of Abraham" is a book about the origins of
Islamic terrorism.
It addresses two of the most important questions facing the
world today:
What is the role of the religions of Abraham in present world
conflict?
Is only Islam to blame, or also Judaism and Christianity?
It exposes the underlying flaws that are built into each of
these three religious belief systems and, although it leaves it to
the reader to decide, argues that culpability for Islamic terrorism
lies not only with the failures of Islam, but also with the
failures of Judaism and Christianity.
It is a book that calls on its readers; Christians, Jews and
Muslims, and all others, to look within themselves in search for
answers to the most important questions facing our world today.
Achieve rapid acceleration and transformation with the Value
Flywheel Effect. Today, every business is a technology business;
every leader is a technology leader. As we enter this new era,
organizations must learn to harness technology to drive innovation
and power change. In The Value Flywheel Effect, David Anderson,
Michael O'Reilly, and Mark McCann enable leaders to create an
adaptive organization built upon embracing strategic thinking, team
focus, and reduced time to value to drive business results and
navigate a migration to the modern cloud. Using Wardley Mapping and
other sense-making approaches, The Value Flywheel Effect helps
organizations anticipate market changes and user needs. As the
flywheel starts to turn, each small win builds momentum. This
continuous momentum builds situational awareness, breaks new
boundaries, and catapults companies to sustainable, long-term
success. Learn to understand and utilize the sociotechnical
intersection between business, technology, and people with the
Value Flywheel Effect. Give your organization the edge it needs to
navigate future challenges and build maximum velocity.
Equivariant cohomology has become an indispensable tool in
algebraic geometry and in related areas including representation
theory, combinatorial and enumerative geometry, and algebraic
combinatorics. This text introduces the main ideas of the subject
for first- or second-year graduate students in mathematics, as well
as researchers working in algebraic geometry or combinatorics. The
first six chapters cover the basics: definitions via
finite-dimensional approximation spaces, computations in projective
space, and the localization theorem. The rest of the text focuses
on examples – toric varieties, Grassmannians, and homogeneous
spaces – along with applications to Schubert calculus and
degeneracy loci. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, so that
one-semester graduate-level courses in algebraic geometry and
topology should be sufficient preparation. Featuring numerous
exercises, examples, and material that has not previously appeared
in textbook form, this book will be a must-have reference and
resource for both students and researchers for years to come.
Young Refugees and Forced Displacement is about young Syrian and
Iraqi refugees navigating the complex realities of forced
displacement in Beirut. It is based on a British Academy funded
two-year project with 51 displaced youths aged 8 to 17 and under
the care of three local humanitarian organisations. Focus groups,
interviews and innovative arts-based methods were used to learn
about their everyday lives. At the end of the project, we
coproduced with them a public mural, allowing unexpected
epistemological and methodological reflections on researching
refugees and the "right to opacity." Families and friendships,
humanitarian caregiving, racism, discrimination and everyday
decencies and civilities make up the stuff of their ordinary,
everyday encounters within refugeedom, defining both its sharper
edges and its more inadvertent and quietly political ones. Thus,
refugeedom, as we conceive it, includes "the humanitarian
condition" but goes a little beyond it, to become also a human
condition of political alterity. In navigating refugeedom, the
young Syrians and Iraqis become sophisticated political and moral
actors, using emotional reflexivity as they engage layered
subjectivities to define the terms of their own forced
displacement. This book will be of interest to policymakers,
humanitarian organisations, social science scholars and students
working on refugees, displacement, humanitarianism, intimacies and
emotions, racism and discrimination. It may also be of interest to
displaced youth.
