Mix-Design and Application of Hydraulic Grouts for Masonry Strengthening - Theodosios P. Tassios - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Mix-Design and Application of Hydraulic Grouts for Masonry Strengthening - Theodosios P. Tassios - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides guidance for the rational design and application of hydraulic grouts, based on a series of specific data (type of masonry, voids'' width, targeted strength and durability level, available materials, etc.). To this end, the basic characteristics of a grout, i.e. its injectability (penetrability, fluidity and stability), its strength and durability, are taken into account by means of rational models and quantified expressions of all grout-design parameters. Thus, a holistic, rational mix design methodology for optimization of grout composition is given, permitting the preliminary design of grouts, without having to resort to multiple tests in advance. Moreover, detailed practical guidelines for grouting application and quality control, based on real case studies, are also included. The book attempts to rationalize the entire procedure of this poly-parametric decision-making, keeping however in mind the need for practical engineering solutions.

Behavior of Unbounded Post- tensioned Masonry Walls - Reza Hassanli - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Behavior of Unbounded Post- tensioned Masonry Walls - Reza Hassanli - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book reports on a comprehensive analytical, experimental and numerical study on the flexural response of post-tensioned masonry walls under in-plane loads. It explores an important mechanism in this new generation of structural walls, called "Self-centering". This mechanism can reduce residual drifts and structural damage during earthquake ground motion, and is particularly favorable for structures which are designed for immediate occupancy performance levels. The book reports on the development and verification of a finite element model of post-tensioned masonry walls. It describes a detailed parametric study to predict the strength of post-tensioned masonry walls. New design methodologies and expressions are developed to predict the flexural strength and force-displacement response of post-tensioned masonry. Experimental study is carried out to better understand the behavior of post-tensioned masonry walls and also to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed design procedure and expressions. The book also includes an introduction to current research on unbounded post-tensioned masonry walls, together with an extensive analysis of previously published test results.

Illicit Markets, Organized Crime, and Global Security - Jonathan D. Rosen - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Illicit Markets, Organized Crime, and Global Security - Jonathan D. Rosen - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explains the existence of illicit markets throughout human history and provides recommendations to governments. Organized criminal networks increased in strength after the enforcement of prohibition, eventually challenging the authority of the state and its institutions through corruption and violence. Criminal networks now organize under cyber-infrastructure, what we call the Deep or Dark Web. The authors analyze how illicit markets come together, issues of destabilization and international security, the effect of legitimate enterprises crowded out of developing countries, and ultimately, illicit markets'' cost to human life.

Chinese Politics and Labor Movements - Jake Lin - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Chinese Politics and Labor Movements - Jake Lin - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book brings a radically new voice to the debate in the field of Chinese politics and labor movement. Using a psychological and cognitive approach, the author examines workers and activists'' everyday interpretation of the source of their problems, their prospect of labor movements, and their sense of solidarity. The project shows how workers themselves have become a part of the apparatus of state repression and argues that Chinese workers have not acquired sufficient cognitive strength to become the much hoped-for agent for political change, which hinders labor activism from developing into a sustainable social movement. Multidisciplinary in its approach, the monograph provides analysis of Chinese politics, labor studies, international political economy, social movements, and contentious politics.

Algorithmic Governance - Ignas Kalpokas - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Algorithmic Governance - Ignas Kalpokas - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses the changes to the regulation of everyday life that have taken place as a result of datafication, the ever-growing analytical, predictive, and structuring role of algorithms, and the prominence of the platform economy. This new form of regulation - algorithmic governance - ranges from nudging individuals towards predefined outcomes to outright structuration of behaviour through digital architecture. The author reveals the strength and pervasiveness of algorithmic politics through a comparison with the main traditional form of regulation: law. These changes are subsequently demonstrated to reflect a broader shift away from anthropocentric accounts of the world. In doing so, the book adopts a posthumanist framework which focuses on deep embeddedness and interactions between humans, the natural environment, technology, and code.

The Decline of Labor Unions in Mexico during the Neoliberal Period - Roberto Zepeda - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Decline of Labor Unions in Mexico during the Neoliberal Period - Roberto Zepeda - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the most significant factors accounting for the decline of union density during the neoliberal period, focusing on the case of Mexico. Union density, which reflects the representation of labor unions in the employed labor force, is one of the main indicators of union strength. The relation of organized labor with the state and the political system are also considered. The analysis is framed within a structure concentrated on cyclical, structural and political-institutional factors linked to labor union performance. Over the last decades, the transformations brought about by neoliberalism and democratization reshaped many features of the domestic political and economic model in Mexico. Therefore, an examination of these developments regarding the repercussions of the factors linked to union density decline is crucial.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates Biopolymers - Geeta Gahlawat - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Polyhydroxyalkanoates Biopolymers - Geeta Gahlawat - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book focuses on both production and extraction aspects of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) for their commercialization purpose. PHAs have broad range of applications in packaging, food, agriculture and pharmaceutical industries. Until now literature reports have discussed either production strategies or extraction protocols. But for commercialization purpose both issues need to be addressed. This book highlights other copolymers of PHAs which have much better physico-mechanical properties such as elasticity and strength than polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Finally efficient product recovery protocols and process optimization strategies including renewable substrates, high cell density cultivations, genetic engineering and mathematical modeling are discussed in detail in order to outline the progress made so far in the area of economic biopolymer production. The primary audience will be scholars, researchers and professors working in colleges, universities, research institutes and government organizations.

Dialogue Writing for Dubbing - Giselle Spiteri Miggiani - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Dialogue Writing for Dubbing - Giselle Spiteri Miggiani - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses an important phase in the interlingual dubbing process of audiovisual productions: the elaboration of target language scripts for the recording studios. Written by a practitioner in the industry who is also an academic and trainer, it provides practical know-how and guidelines while adopting a scholarly, structural and methodical approach. Supported by an exemplified, analytical and theoretical framework, it is non-language specific and discusses strategies and tricks of the trade. Divided into three parts, the book provides a descriptive, practical and analytical approach to dubbing and dialogue writing. The author analyses scripts drawn from her own professional practice, including initial drafts that illustrate the various transformations of a text throughout the rewriting process. She also offers a ''backstage'' perspective, from first-hand experience in recording sessions that enabled knowledge of text manipulation, studio jargon, and the dubbing post production process. This publication will provide a valuable resource for novice dubbing translators and dialogue writers, while offering practitioner insights to scholars and researchers in the field of Audiovisual Translation, Film and Media Studies.

Elections and TV News in South Africa - Bernadine Jones - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Elections and TV News in South Africa - Bernadine Jones - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book takes television news seriously. Over the course of nine chapters, Elections and TV News in South Africa shows how six democratic South African general elections, 1994-2019, were represented on both local and international news broadcasts. It reveals the shifting narratives about South African democracy, coupled with changing and challenging political journalism practices. The book is organised in three parts: the first contains a history of South African democracy and an overview of the South African media environment. The second part is a visual analysis of the South African elections on television news, exploring portrayals of violence, security, power, and populism, and how these fit into normative news values and the ruling party''s tightening grip on the media. The final part is a conclusion, a call to action, and a suggestion to improve political journalistic practice.

Photographing Mussolini - Alessandra Antola Swan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Photographing Mussolini - Alessandra Antola Swan - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This pioneering book offers the first account of the work of the photographers, both official and freelance, who contributed to the forging of Mussolini''s image. It departs from the practice of using photographs purely for illustration and places them instead at the centre of the analysis. Throughout the 1930s photographs of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini were chosen with much care by the regime. They were deployed to highlight those physical traits - the piercing eyes, protruding jaw, shaved head - that were meant to evoke the Duce''s strength, determination and innate sense of leadership in the mind of his contemporaries. The chapters in this volume explore the photographic image in the socio-political context of the time and shows how it was a significant contributor to the development of Italian mass culture between the two world wars.

Guide to Differential Privacy Modifications - Balazs Pejo - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Guide to Differential Privacy Modifications - Balazs Pejo - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Shortly after it was first introduced in 2006, differential privacy became the flagship data privacy definition. Since then, numerous variants and extensions were proposed to adapt it to different scenarios and attacker models. In this work, we propose a systematic taxonomy of these variants and extensions. We list all data privacy definitions based on differential privacy, and partition them into seven categories, depending on which aspect of the original definition is modified. These categories act like dimensions: Variants from the same category cannot be combined, but variants from different categories can be combined to form new definitions. We also establish a partial ordering of relative strength between these notions by summarizing existing results. Furthermore, we list which of these definitions satisfy some desirable properties, like composition, post-processing, and convexity by either providing a novel proof or collecting existing ones.

Reading Iris Murdoch's Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Reading Iris Murdoch's Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals was Iris Murdoch''s major philosophical testament and a highly original and ambitious attempt to talk about our time. Yet in the scholarship on her philosophical work thus far it has often been left in the shade of her earlier work. This volume brings together 16 scholars who offer accessible readings of chapters and themes in the book, connecting them to Murdoch''s larger oeuvre, as well as to central themes in 20 th century and contemporary thought. The essays bring forth the strength, originality, and continuing relevance of Murdoch''s late thought, addressing, among other matters, her thinking about the Good, the role and nature of metaphysics in the contemporary world, the roles of art in human understanding, questions of unity and plurality in thinking, the possibilities of spiritual life without God, and questions of style and sensibility in intellectual work.

Environmental Performance in Democracies and Autocracies - Melanie Walter Rogg - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Environmental Performance in Democracies and Autocracies - Melanie Walter Rogg - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

There are considerable differences in environmental performance and outcomes across both democracies and autocracies, but there is little understanding of how levels of democracy and autocracy influence environmental performance. This book examines whether analysing the effects of individual democratic features separately can contribute to a better understanding of cross-national variance in environmental performance. The authors show that levels of social equality in particular, as well as the strength of local and regional democracy, contribute significantly to explaining cross-national variation in environmental performance. On the other hand, a high level of political corruption affects a country''s ability to adopt and implement environmental policies effectively. In exploring the inter-relationship between democratic qualities, political corruption, and environmental performance, this book presents policymakers and political theorists with a clear picture of which aspects of democratic societies are most conducive to producing a better environment.

The Amazing Journey of Reason - Mario Alemi - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Amazing Journey of Reason - Mario Alemi - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This Open Access book will explore questions such as why and how did the first biological cells appear? And then complex organisms, brains, societies and –now– connected human societies? Physicists have good models for describing the evolution of the universe since the Big Bang, but can we apply the same concepts to the evolution of aggregated matter –living matter included? The Amazing Journey analyzes the latest results in chemistry, biology, neuroscience, anthropology and sociology under the light of the evolution of intelligence, seen as the ability of processing information. The main strength of this book is using just two concepts used in physics –information and energy– to explain: - The emergence and evolution of life: procaryotes, eukaryotes and complex organisms - The emergence and evolution of the brain - The emergence and evolution of societies (human and not) - Possible evolution of our "internet society" and the role that Artificial Intelligence is playing
