Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

In this follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul Alan Norrie addresses the split between legal and ethical judgment. Shaped by history law’s formalism both eschews and requires ethics. The first essays consider legal form in its practical aspect and the ethical problems encountered (‘law’s architectonic’). The later essays look at the complex underlying relation between law and ethics (‘law’s constellation’). In Hegel’s philosophy legal and ethical judgment are brought together in a rational totality. Here the synthesis remains unachieved the dialectic systematically ‘broken’. These essays cover such issues as criminal law’s ‘general part’ homicide reform self-defence euthanasia and war guilt. They interrogate legal problems consider law’s method and its place in the social whole. The analysis of law’s historicity its formalism and its relation to ethics contributes importantly to central questions in law legal theory and criminal justice. | Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

Providing an interface between dry-bench bioinformaticians and wet-lab biologists DNA Methylation Microarrays: Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis presents the statistical methods and tools to analyze high-throughput epigenomic data in particular DNA methylation microarray data. Since these microarrays share the same underlying principles as gene expression microarrays many of the analyses in the text also apply to microarray-based gene expression and histone modification (ChIP-on-chip) studies. After introducing basic statistics the book describes wet-bench technologies that produce the data for analysis and explains how to preprocess the data to remove systematic artifacts resulting from measurement imperfections. It then explores differential methylation and genomic tiling arrays. Focusing on exploratory data analysis the next several chapters show how cluster and network analyses can link the functions and roles of unannotated DNA elements with known ones. The book concludes by surveying the open source software (R and Bioconductor) public databases and other online resources available for microarray research. Requiring only limited knowledge of statistics and programming this book helps readers gain a solid understanding of the methodological foundations of DNA microarray analysis. | DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

The success of laboratory experiments relies heavily on the technical ability of the bench scientist with the aid of tricks-of-the-trade to generate consistent and reliable data. Regrettably however these invaluable tricks-of-the-trade are frequently omitted from scientific publications. This paucity of practical information relating to the conduct of laboratory bacteriology experiments creates a gaping void in the pertinent literature. Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology fills this void. It provides detailed technical information that ensures that you achieve consistent and reliable data. The book addresses the aspects of bacterial fractionation and membrane characterization the analysis of Lipopolysaccharides and the techniques of SDS-PAGE immunoblotting and ELISA. It also describes the methods used for detecting and quantifying bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the analysis of bacterial chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology also covers protocols for extracting the fingerprinting plasmids as well as the use of non-radio labeled gene probes and ribosomal RNA gene probes.

Gender and the Judiciary in Africa From Obscurity to Parity?

Gender and the Judiciary in Africa From Obscurity to Parity?

Between 2000 and 2015 women ascended to the top of judiciaries across Africa most notably as chief justices of supreme courts in common law countries like Ghana Nigeria Sierra Leone Gambia Malawi Lesotho and Zambia but also as presidents of constitutional courts in civil law countries such as Benin Burundi Gabon Niger and Senegal. Most of these appointments was a first in terms of the gender of the chief justice. At the same time women are being appointed in record numbers as magistrates judges and justices across the continent. While women’s increasing numbers and roles in African executives and legislatures have been addressed in a burgeoning scholarly literature very little work has focused on women in judiciaries. This book addresses the important issue of the increasing numbers and varied roles of women judges and justices as judiciaries evolve across the continent. Scholars of law gender politics and African politics provide overviews of recent developments in gender and the judiciary in nine African countries that represent north east southern and west Africa as well as a range of colonial experiences postcolonial trajectories and legal systems including mixes of common civil customary or sharia law. In the process each chapter seeks to address the following questions: What has been the historical experience of the judicial system in a given country from before colonialism until the present? What is the current court structure and where are the women judges justices magistrates and other women located? What are the selection or appointment processes for joining the bench and in what ways may these help or hinder women to gain access to the courts as judges and justices? Once they become judges do women on the bench promote the rights of women through their judicial powers? What are the challenges and obstacles facing women judges and justices in Africa? Timely and relevant in this era in which governmental accountability and transparency are essential to the consolidation of democracy in Africa and when women are accessing significant leadership positions across the continent this book considers the substantive and symbolic representation of women’s interests by women judges and the wider implications of their presence for changing institutional norms and advancing the rule of law and human rights. | Gender and the Judiciary in Africa From Obscurity to Parity?

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization it leaves engineers asking questions such as “what are the effects of standards on my designs?” and “how can I use standardization to benefit my work?” Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing provides hands-on knowledge for incorporating standards into the entire process from design bench to factory floor. The book’s five self-contained sections consider the scope of design and manufacturing standards for the design of discrete products standards for the manufacture of discrete products standards for the use of discrete products as well as support standards. The authors survey in detail the major standards-setting organizations and outline the procedure for developing standards. They consider standards from the perspective of product equipment and end-user using this as a platform to explain the economic benefits of standardization. Case studies in every section illustrate the concepts and offer practical insight for using standards in CAD/CAM selection of components process planning human/machine interaction and computer interfacing. With its modular approach and practical wisdom based on the authors’ years of broad experience Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing supplies the tools to incorporate standards into every stage of design and manufacturing.
