High Performance Simulation for Industrial Paint Shop Applications - Kevin Verma - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

High Performance Simulation for Industrial Paint Shop Applications - Kevin Verma - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book describes the current state of the art for simulating paint shop applications, their advantages and limitations, as well as corresponding high-performance computing (HPC) methods utilized in this domain. The authors provide a comprehensive introduction to fluid simulations, corresponding optimization methods from the HPC domain, as well as industrial paint shop applications. They showcase how the complexity of these applications bring corresponding fluid simulation methods to their limits and how these shortcomings can be overcome by employing HPC methods. To that end, this book covers various optimization techniques for three individual fluid simulation techniques, namely grid-based methods, volumetric decomposition methods, and particle-based methods.

Using Sequence Generator Pro and Friends - Alex Mcconahay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Using Sequence Generator Pro and Friends - Alex Mcconahay - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This guide is specifically aimed at those who are using—or want to use—Sequence Generator Pro. SGP is a “session management” software package that controls the telescope, mount, camera, and ancillary equipment to target and secure images during a night of imaging astronomical objects. The book begins with a special tutorial to get up and running with SGP. With a comprehensive reference section, it takes the user in detail through the various aspects of user and equipment profiles, equipment definitions, the sequencer, and other essential elements of SGP. Finally, it focuses on how to get the most out of the ancillary programs—target data bases, autoguiders, plate solvers, weather, observatory control, and other applications. Oftentimes, technical guides can end up being far denser than the processes they intend to explain. Many of the insights provided by SGP expert Alex McConahay are beyond what can be found in the official program documentation. In this book, the reader will find in-depth, yet straightforward practical advice on how to automate nightly astro-imaging sessions with Sequence Generator Pro.

The Right-to-Life Movement, the Reagan Administration, and the Politics of Abortion - Prudence Flowers - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

The Right-to-Life Movement, the Reagan Administration, and the Politics of Abortion - Prudence Flowers - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

This book offers a political, ideological, and social history of the national right-to-life movement in the 1980s under President Ronald Reagan. It analyzes anti-abortion engagement with the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, and offers what is frequently a narrative of disappointment and factionalism. The chapters explore pro-life responses to Supreme Court vacancies, attempts to pass a constitutional amendment, and broader legislative and bureaucratic strategies, including successful campaigns against international and domestic family planning programs. The book suggests that the 1980s transformed the anti-abortion cause, limiting the types of ideas and approaches possible at a national level. Although the movement later claimed Reagan as a "pro-life hero," while he was President right-to-lifers continuously struggled with the gap between his words and deeds. They also had a fraught relationship with the broader Republican Party. This book charts the political education of right-to-lifers, offering insights into social movement activism and conservatism in the late twentieth century.

Patterns of Opposition in the European Parliament - Benedetta Carlotti - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Patterns of Opposition in the European Parliament - Benedetta Carlotti - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Is Euroscepticism still suited to analyze the variegated nature of opposition to the EU? Starting from this question, this book critically reviews Euroscepticism, reconceptualizes it in terms of political opposition and discovers, disentangles and explains patterns of EU-opposition within the European Parliament (EP). Distinguishing between "what the EU does" and "what the EU is", the research elaborates an index of parties'' positioning "measuring" it through the speeches that parties'' deliver in the EP. The EP is the "perfect laboratory" where decisions concerning EU-policies are taken and the future EU-trajectories are shaped.Besides delineating a set of guidelines categorizing parties, the book concludes that their positioning varies along two main axes: the pro-anti-EU-system and the pro-anti-EU-establishment. From a normative perspective, the research argues for the growing importance of the "cumulation hypothesis": if criticism remains unheard within the European elitist construct, such criticism will transform itself into rejection.

Shopping and the Senses, 1800-1970 - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Shopping and the Senses, 1800-1970 - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book demonstrates the primacy of touch, smell, taste, sight and sound within the retail landscape. It shows that histories of the senses, body, and emotions were inextricably intertwined with processes and practices of retail and consumption. Shops are sensory feasts. From the rustle of silk to the tempting aroma of coffee, the multi-sensory appeal of goods has long been at the heart of how we shop. This book delves into and beyond this seductive idyl of consumer sensuality. Shopping was a sensory activity for consumers and retailers alike, but this experience was not always positive. This book is inhabited by tired feet and weary workers, as well as eager shoppers. It considers embodied sensory experiences and practices, and it represents both a celebration and interrogation of the integration of sensory histories into the study of retail and consumption. Crucially, this book places breathing, feeling human bodies back into the retail space.

The Eurasian Economic Union and Integration Theory - Mikhail Mukhametdinov - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Eurasian Economic Union and Integration Theory - Mikhail Mukhametdinov - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book evaluates the utility of the Eurasian Economic Union in economic, political, cultural and geostrategic dimensions. It does so through a systematic comparison of the bloc with aspects of the European Union along a number of criteria derived from integration theory. The book concludes that the EAEU is a useless undertaking, at least for Russia, in any of the integration dimensions discussed. This is so because of the inherent properties of the region, and also because of the behaviour of the member states in the context of Russia''s resistance to the West. Besides, the principles of liberal economics, endorsed by the union, contribute to asymmetries in development among its member states. In addition to a symbolic event spotlighting Russia''s regional leadership, the union appears mainly as a shop where gas is sold below market prices, and as an import base of unskilled labour for Russia in conditions of Russia''s high unemployment and underemployment. Concurrently, the book discusses Russia''s grievances with the West, which have been inducing and constraining Eurasian integration at the same time.

The Media, European Integration and the Rise of Euro-journalism, 1950s–1970s - Martin Herzer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Media, European Integration and the Rise of Euro-journalism, 1950s–1970s - Martin Herzer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explains how the media helped to invent the European Union as the supranational polity that we know today. Against normative EU scholarship, it tells the story of the rise of the Euro-journalists - pro-European advocacy journalists - within the post-war Western European media. The Euro-journalists pioneered a journalism which symbolically magnified the technocratic European Community as the embodiment of Europe. Normative research on the media and European integration has focused on how the media might help to construct a democratic and legitimate European Union. In contrast, this book aims to deconstruct how journalists - as part of Western European elites - played a key role in elite European identity building campaigns.

The Theology and Ecclesiology of the Prayer Book Crisis, 1906–1928 - Dan D. Cruickshank - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Theology and Ecclesiology of the Prayer Book Crisis, 1906–1928 - Dan D. Cruickshank - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book considers the doctrinal and ecclesiological trends that were present during the construction of the revised Book of Common Prayer of 1927. Through the use of the records of both Convocations and of the National/Church Assembly, it examines the debates that led to the revised Book and the doctrinal shifts that were present in these debates. It challenges the idea that the revision process stalled in the First World War by showing how the birth of the National Assembly that took place during the war was born out of the revision process. Through the Assembly records it shows the integral role the laity played in the revision process. It examines the attempts to get the revised Books through Parliament, the difference between pro and anti-revision speakers, and the radical ecclesiological thinking that followed the rejections.

The Impact of European Integration on West European Politics - Luca Carrieri - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Impact of European Integration on West European Politics - Luca Carrieri - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses emerging trends in the politicisation of EU conflicts in Western Europe between 2006 and 2019, evaluating the transformative effects arising from multiple crises - the Euro crisis, the migration crisis and the Brexit Referendum. It describes how EU issues have been increasingly emphasised and polarised by various political parties - both the mainstream pro-EU and anti-EU protest parties - and have been transformed into more meaningful determinants of voting. The respective chapters investigate the fluctuations in EU issue entrepreneurship and EU issue voting, identifying which party types have been more likely to benefit from their EU issue proximity to voters, and assessing the growing politicisation of the EU conflict in both South European and North-Western countries. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of political parties, European politics, Euroscepticism and voting behaviour.

Media Capitalism - Thomas Klikauer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Media Capitalism - Thomas Klikauer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book argues that media and capitalism no longer exist as separated entities, and posits three reasons why one can no longer exist without the other. Firstly, mass media have become indispensable to capitalism due to the media''s ability to sell the commodities of mass consumerism. Media capitalism also creates pro-capital attitudes among a target population and establishes an ideological hegemony. Thirdly, media capitalism provides mass deception to hide the pathologies of capitalism, which include mass poverty, rising inequalities, and the acceleration of global warming. To illuminate this, the book''s historical chapter traces the emergence of media capitalism. Its subsequent chapters show how media capitalism has infiltrated the public sphere, society, schools, universities, the world of work and finally, democracy. The book concludes by outlining how societies can transition from media capitalism to a post-media- capitalist society.

Optimization of Process Flowsheets through Metaheuristic Techniques - Jose Maria Ponce Ortega - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Optimization of Process Flowsheets through Metaheuristic Techniques - Jose Maria Ponce Ortega - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This textbook presents a general multi-objective optimization framework for optimizing chemical processes by implementing a link between process simulators and metaheuristic techniques. The proposed approach is general and shows how to implement links between different process simulators such as Aspen Plus®, HYSIS®, Super Pro Designer® linked to a variety of metaheuristic techniques implemented in Matlab®, Excel®, C++, and others, eliminating the numerical complications through the optimization process. Furthermore, the proposed framework allows the use of thermodynamic, design and constitutive equations implemented in the process simulator to implement any process. Aimed at graduate and undergraduate students, it presents introductory chapters for process simulators and metaheuristic optimization techniques and provides several worked exercises as well as proposed exercises. In addition, accompanying tutorial videos clearly explaining the implemented methodologies are available online. Also, some Matlab® routines are included as electronic supporting material.

Reshaping Poland’s Community after Communism - Helena Chmielewska Szlajfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Reshaping Poland’s Community after Communism - Helena Chmielewska Szlajfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Harnessing a cultural sociological approach to explore transformations in key social spheres in post-1989 Poland, Chmielewska-Szlajfer illuminates shifts in religiosity, sympathy towards others, and civic activity in post-Communist Poland in the light of Western influence over elements of Polish life. Reshaping Poland''s Community after Communism focuses on three major cases, largely ignored in Polish scholarship: (1) a hugely popular, faux-baroque Catholic shrine, which illustrates new strategies adopted by the Polish Catholic Church to attract believers; (2) Woodstock Station, a widely known free charity music festival, demonstrating new practices of sympathy towards strangers; and (3) the emergence of national internet pro-voting campaigns and small-town watchdog websites, which uncover changes in practical uses of civic engagement. In exploring grass-roots, everyday negotiations of religiosity, charity, and civic engagement in contemporary Poland, Chmielewska-Szlajfer demonstrates how a country''s cultural changes can suggest wider, dramatic democratic transformation.

Changing Attitudes Towards the Death Penalty - Zoltan J. Toth - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Changing Attitudes Towards the Death Penalty - Zoltan J. Toth - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the pros and cons of the death penalty and the history of capital punishment. In this context, it puts a special emphasis on the situation in Hungary, where, amongst its neighbors, in recent years the demand for the reestablishment of the death penalty has received the strongest political support from many pro-government politicians. Toth presents tendencies toward abolition of the death penalty and analyzes the arguments by which the death penalty can, in principle, be criticized or even defended. The book presents the main issues of the death penalty, arguments of both abolitionists and retentionists, and reviews the modern history of this sanction. It does not seek to convince the reader of the correctness or wrongness of the death penalty, but it presents both sides of the argument and their standpoints, and leaves the reader to decide. It encourages informed debate and discussion.
