This book explores the Society of Friend's Atlantic presence
through its creation and use of networks, including intellectual
and theological exchange, and through the movement of people. It
focuses on the establishment of trans-Atlantic Quaker networks and
the crucial role London played in the creation of a Quaker
community in the North Atlantic.

Authors: Hugo Bachmann, Walter J. Ammann, Florian Deischl, Josef
Eisenmann, Ingomar Floegl, Gerhard H. Hirsch, Gunter K. Klein,
Goran J. Lande, Oskar Mahrenholtz, Hans G. Natke, Hans Nussbaumer,
Anthony J. Pretlove, Johann H. Rainer, Ernst-Ulrich Saemann, Lorenz
Steinbeisser. Large structures such as factories, gymnasia, concert
halls, bridges, towers, masts and chimneys can be detrimentally
affected by vibrations. These vibrations can cause either
serviceability problems, severely hampering the user's comfort, or
safety problems. The aim of this book is to provide structural and
civil engineers working in construction and environmental
engineering with practical guidelines for counteracting vibration
problems. Dynamic actions are considered from the following sources
of vibration: - human body motions, - rotating, oscillating and
impacting machines, - wind flow, - road traffic, railway traffic
and construction work. The main section of the book presents tools
that aid in decision-making and in deriving simple solutions to
cases of frequently occurring "normal" vibration problems.
Complexer problems and more advanced solutions are also considered.
In all cases these guidelines should enable the engineer to decide
on appropriate solutions expeditiously. The appendices of the book
contain fundamentals essential to the main chapters.

This book explores the status of paper-based diagnostic solutions,
or Microfluidics 2.0. The contributors explore: how paper-based
tests can be widely distributed and utilized by semi-skilled
personnel; how close to commercial applications the technology has
become, and what is still required to make paper-based diagnostics
the game-changer it can be. The technology is examined through the
lens of the World Health Organization's ASSURED criteria for
low-resource countries (Affordable, Sensitive, Specific,
User-friendly, Rapid and robust, Equipment-free, and Deliverable to
end-users). Its applications have to include: health technology,
environmental technology, food safety, and more. This book is
appropriate for researchers in these areas, as well as those
interested in microfluidics, and includes chapters dedicated to
principles such as theory of flow and surface treatments;
components such as biomarkers and detection; and current methods of
manufacturing. Discusses how paper-based diagnostics can be used in
developing countries by comparing current diagnostic tests with the
World Health Organization's ASSURED criteria Examines how
paper-based diagnostics could be integrated with other
technologies, such as printed electronics, and the Internet of
Things. Outlines how semi-skilled personnel across a variety of
fields can implement paper-based diagnostics
The enduring challenge for every teacher is providing individual
and responsive learning experiences for every student. Factor in
other parts of the educator's mission-aligning teaching with
content and practice standards, providing worthwhile tasks for
class participation and discussion, assessing mathematical
understanding and progress-and the challenge is even greater.
Transforming the Task with Number Choice presents a uniquely
powerful tool to accomplish these goals and more. By choosing and
sequencing productive arrays of numbers for problems, you can- meet
the needs and strengths of individual learners with accessible,
equitable, and differentiated math; address multiple content and
practice standards; create rich, worthwhile tasks with multiple
entry points; provide opportunities for students to vary their
strategies and use the properties of operations; shift students'
focus from merely calculating answers to examining number
relationships; assess students' abilities and monitor their
understanding. Choosing numbers that are "just right" is hard, but
Transforming the Task with Number Choice supports and guides you by
offering- strategies for aligning problem-solving tasks with
students' skills to build their understanding; examples of and
strategies for using number choice to address a variety of Common
Core (or other) content and practice standards; samples of work
illustrating how students respond to different number choices;
advice on how to focus on number choice within curricular materials
tools for getting started and assessing students' work, including
