This book presents selected mathematical problems involving the dynamics of a two-dimensional viscous and ideal incompressible fluid on a rotating sphere. In this case, the fluid motion is completely governed by the barotropic vorticity equation (BVE), and the viscosity term in the vorticity equation is taken in its general form, which contains the derivative of real degree of the spherical Laplace operator. This work builds a bridge between basic concepts and concrete outcomes by pursuing a rich combination of theoretical, analytical and numerical approaches, and is recommended for specialists developing mathematical methods for application to problems in physics, hydrodynamics, meteorology and geophysics, as well for upper undergraduate or graduate students in the areas of dynamics of incompressible fluid on a rotating sphere, theory of functions on a sphere, and flow stability.

This edited volume fills a critical void by providing the most current and authoritative information on what is known about disciplinary disparities. School exclusion-out-of-school suspension and expulsion in particular-remains a substantial component of discipline in our nation's schools, and those consequences continue to fall disproportionally on certain groups of learners. The negative consequences of frequent and inequitable use of school exclusion are substantial, including higher rates of academic failure, dropout, and contact with the juvenile justice system. As educators, policymakers, community leaders, and other youth-serving organizations begin the difficult work of creating more equitable school disciplinary systems, the need for effective disparity-reducing alternatives could not be more important. Drawing on the multi-year ground-breaking work of the Discipline Disparities Collaborative, the chapters in this book provide cutting edge knowledge supporting a new national imperative to eliminate race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation-based disciplinary disparities.

At the beginning of their studies students of architecture are confronted with a wealth of different ways in which to visually present their designs. Expressing ideas in the form of drawings and models is usually required in the early stages of studying: "learning by doing" is the only way for students to quickly develop a repertoire for their design work. However, there are important issues to consider between the phases of devising the spatial concept and recreating it in a two- or three-dimensional drawing or physical model: How to construct a perspective freehand drawing? What plan drawings are necessary to present my design? What scale should my model be and what materials should I use to construct it? Basics Architectural Presentation combines the highly successful single volumesTechnical Drawing, CAD, Modelbuilding, and Architectural Photography from the series BASICS with a yet to be published volume entitled Freehand Drawing. Step-by-step, it conveys possible ways to present architectural projects throughout the various project phases. In an informative and practical approach, the publication discusses the basics of architectural representation from freehand drawing, which is especially important in the design phase, to the plan drawing, model, and architecture photography. The student architect learns the tools necessary for presenting his or her work, supported by many concrete examples and practical tips that are directly applicable.

Only a small proportion of the population fully relies on barrier freedom, but many people consider it an essential aid in everyday situations. It is therefore important to create a built environment without obstacles in which all people can move and orientate themselves as safely as possible and without help. For this reason, the needs and requirements of people with disabilities - but also of children - are important considerations in the design of buildings, in particular public and residential buildings. Basics Barrier-free Planning illustrates these special requirements as well as options for the design of barrier-free spaces and buildings. In line with all volumes in the series, everything is explained straightforwardly, including practical examples.

Basics Barrier-free Planning improves our understanding of the needs of people with disabilities, children, and the elderly, all of whom have special requirements when using a building. The book presents possibilities for designing buildings and their spaces so they can be used by everyone.

Technical Drawing deals with the representation of plans throughout all phases of a project. For students, the primary focus is on the development and methodical construction of a technical drawing. Themes: Types of plan (from site plan and preliminary drawings to design and detail plans) Components of the plan (floor plan, section, elevation, detail) Line width, dimensioning, hatching, use of text, symbols Plan presentation and compilation

Like the three editions that preceded it, this new edition targets markets in health care practice and educational settings. It addresses practicing nurses and nursing students, together with nursing leadership and nursing faculty. It speaks to nursing informatics specialists and-in a departure from earlier editions of this title-to all nurses, regardless of their specialty, extending its usefulness as a text as noted below. In recognition of the evolving electronic health information environment and of interdisciplinary health care teams, the book is designed to be of interest to members of other health care professions (quality officers, administrators, etc.) as well as health information technology professionals (in health care facilities and in industry). The book will include numerous relevant case studies to illustrate the theories and principles discussed, making it an ideal candidate for use within nursing curricula (both undergraduate and graduate), as well as continuing education and staff development programs. This book honors the format established by the first three editions by including a content array and questions to guide the reader. This 4th edition also includes numerous brief case studies that help to illustrate the theories and practices described within the various chapters. Most of these "mini-cases" are provided by members of professional nursing organizations that comprise the TIGER Initiative. These mini-cases are listed in the front matter and highlighted via formatting throughout the text.

Das Buch zeigt die Einsatzmoeglichkeiten primarenergiesparender und erneuerbarer Energieumwandlungssysteme in der Industrie auf der Grundlage wirtschaftlicher Gesichtspunkte auf. Dabei werden sowohl die technischen Grundlagen und relevanten Kennzahlen eroertert als auch oekologische und oekonomische Randbedingungen diskutiert. Daruber hinaus werden die Zukunftsperspektiven der Energiesysteme bewertet und Empfehlungen zu deren Einsatz in den verschiedenen Industriebranchen gegeben. Eine abschliessende vergleichende Bewertung sowie zahlreiche Tabellen und Illustrationen erleichtern dem Leser den UEberblick und zeigen auf anschauliche Art und Weise Alternativen bzw. Optimierungsmoeglichkeiten bereits bestehender Anlagen.

Aus zahlreichen Veroffentlichungen war bekannt, daB der innerbetriebliche Transport ein Schwerpunkt des Unfallge- schehens im gewerblichen Bereich ist. Die Aussagen dieser Veroffentlichungen ergaben jedoch kein einheitliches Bild uber Qualitat und Quantitat des Unfallgeschehens. Daher war es bisher schwer moglich, eine Unfallverhutungsstrategie zur Verbesserung der Arbeitssicherheit beim innerbetrieb- lichen Transport zu entwerfen, urn gezielte Unfallverhutung zu betreiben. Diese Lucke versucht die vorliegende Arbeit zu schlieBen. Sie befaBt sich im we sent lichen mit der Gewinnung von qualitativen und quantitativen Aussagen uber das Unfall- geschehen beim innerbetrieblichen Transport und den daraus zu ziehenden Folgerungen. Die Verfasser danken dem Minister fur Wissenschaft und For- schung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen fur die finanzielle Unterstutzung der Arbeit. Ferner danken sie dem Minister fur Arbeit, Gesundheit und Soziales sowie den Bediensteten der Gewerbeaufsichtsamter Dortmund, Soest und Wuppertal fur die Unterstutzung bei der Einsichtnahme in die Datentrager.
