Pressure and Temperature Sensitive Paints (Hardcover, 2005 ed.): Tianshu Liu, John P. Sullivan Pressure and Temperature Sensitive Paints (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)
Tianshu Liu, John P. Sullivan
R6,205 Discovery Miles 62 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Luminescent molecule sensors, called pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) and temperature-sensitive paint (TSP), measure factors essential for understanding the aerodynamic performance and heat transfer characteristics of flight vehicles. They provide a powerful tool for experimental aerodynamicists to obtain a deeper understanding of the rich physical phenomena in complex flows around a flight vehicle. This book helps the reader to understand the physics and chemistry and the capabilities of PSP and TSP. It provides an overview of the wide scope of applications and explains the system requirements for using these sensors. The book also includes an extensive table of properties of PTP and TSP. As such, it is a thorough and up-to-date coverage of the underlying physics and applications of luminescent molecules designed for global pressure and temperature mapping

Global Biosecurity - Threats and Responses (Paperback): Peter Katona, John P. Sullivan, Michael D. Intriligator Global Biosecurity - Threats and Responses (Paperback)
Peter Katona, John P. Sullivan, Michael D. Intriligator
R1,653 Discovery Miles 16 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book explores a range of biohealth and biosecurity threats, places them in context, and offers responses and solutions from global and local, networked and pyramidal, as well as specialized and interdisciplinary perspectives. Specifically covering bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, pandemic disease preparedness and remediation, agroterroism, food safety, and environmental issues, the contributors demonstrate that to counter terrorism of any kind, a global, networked, and multidisciplinary approach is essential. To be successful in biosecurity, this book argues it is necessary to extend partnerships, cooperation, and co-ordination between public health, clinical medicine, private business, law enforcement and other agencies locally, nationally and internationally. Internationally, a clear understanding is needed of what has happened in past epidemics and what was accomplished in past bioprograms (in Britain, South Africa, Russia, for example). This book also assesses how, with the right technology and motivation, both a state and a non-state actor could initiate an extremely credible biothreat to security at both local and national levels. This book will be of much interest to students, researchers and practitioners of security studies, public health, public policy and IR in general. Peter Katona is Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Infectious Diseases. He is co-founder of Biological Threat Mitigation, a bioterror consulting firm. John P. Sullivan is a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. He is also a researcher focusing on terrorism, conflict disaster, intelligence studies, and urban operations. He is co-founder of the Los Angeles Terrorism Early Warning (TEW) Group. Michael D. Intriligator is Professor of Economics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also Professor of Political Science, Professor of Public Policy in the School of Public Policy and Social Research, and Co-Director of the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences, all at UCLA.

Countering Terrorism and WMD - Creating a Global Counter-Terrorism Network (Paperback, New ed): Peter Katona, Michael D.... Countering Terrorism and WMD - Creating a Global Counter-Terrorism Network (Paperback, New ed)
Peter Katona, Michael D. Intriligator, John P. Sullivan
R1,659 Discovery Miles 16 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The purpose of this book is to explain the need for a global network approach to counter-terrorism, and to elaborate how it could be formed. As the authors see it, the world is changing today far more rapidly than ever before, and current public and private institutions cannot keep up with this new paradigm. While terrorism has a long history, it has become the focus of worldwide attention as a result of the September 11, 2001 strikes on the U.S. and later strikes by al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations on a worldwide basis ranging from Indonesia to Tunisia to Spain. Subsequently, there have been various attempts to counter this latest wave of terrorism, including the U.S. strikes against Afghanistan and Iraq, President George W. Bush's declaration of a "War against Terrorism," the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the 9/11 Commission and the very recent arrests of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani and Issa al-Hindi. Despite these events and reactions, we believe that there is a need to consolidate and expand efforts against terrorism through the creation of an formal and an informal global counterterrorism network.
This book contains essays from experts in various disciplines, including clinical medicine and public health; economics, political science, and public policy; and law enforcement, which are our own fields; with those of the military, politics, intelligence and the media to try to give some coherence and direction to this process of forming a global counter-terrorism network. The book identifies the nature of a global counterterrorism network, shows how such a global network could be created, and provides some guidelines forgauging its future effectiveness.
This book will be essential reading for all serious students of terrorism and political violence, security studies and for defense and policy analysts.

On Holy Ground - The Impact of Psychotherapists' Spirituality on Their Practice (Paperback, New): John P. Sullivan On Holy Ground - The Impact of Psychotherapists' Spirituality on Their Practice (Paperback, New)
John P. Sullivan
R1,229 Discovery Miles 12 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Grounded in research done by examining the clinical practices of five exemplary psychotherapists, On Holy Ground explores the relationship between psychotherapy and spirituality. This book addresses the religious and spiritual issues that mental health practitioners are not normally effectively trained to handle. It presents an overview of the history of the relationship between psychology and spirituality, including a review of contemporary literature related to the subject. The author's main emphasis falls on his interviews with five psychotherapists whose spirituality is at the center of their lives and work. Sullivan's analysis of these interviews includes a discussion of several common core themes, such as views of the person and the process of therapy as inherently psychological and spiritual, respect for the freedom of clients, and the place of prayer and meditation.

In sum, this anthology represents some of the best and brightest scholars of today who are writing on the evolving security environment in Mexico and the implications this may hold for the United States. They have greatly enhanced our understanding of crime wars and criminal insurgencies-21st century war and conflict waged by non-state entities- and the impact this new form of warfare is having on states. For this, we embrace them and have established the new SWJ El Centro forum to further promote their professionalism and scholarship. Dave Dilegge

Emergent Learning (Paperback): John P. Sullivan Emergent Learning (Paperback)
John P. Sullivan
R1,685 Discovery Miles 16 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book outlines a collaborative case study conducted with the goal of discovering and describing "emergent learning" in three secondary classrooms. Emergent learning, defined as the acquisition of new knowledge by an entire group when no individual member possessed it before, is implied by the work of theorists working on an educational analog of a natural phenomenon called a complex adaptive system. The author theorized that classes that maximized the features of complex adaptive systems could produce emergent learning, and that there was a continuum of this complexity, producing a continuum of emergence. After studying three American high school classes, the author determined that there was indeed a continuum of complexity. He found that the actively complex nature of the Jazz Rock Ensemble produced an environment where emergence was the norm, with the ensemble producing works of music, new to the world, with each performance. The English section harnessed the chaotic tendencies of students to frequently produce emergent learning, while the mathematics section was too rigidly linear to allow detectable emergence to occur.
