Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Multi-channel estuaries such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands have characteristics of both the river and the sea forming a unique environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion. | Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Culinary Creation

Culinary Creation

The book seeks not to present a detailed history and discussion but instead is intended to provide the student with an appreciation of the idea that all cuisines of the world have something unique to offer to a menu. The author strongly believes that foods of other nations (and even other areas of the United States) are too often given short shrift by culture-bound students and chefs and that every attempt should be made to open their minds to the unlimited possibilities available. The wordfoodism is introduced to refer to biases against foods outside your culture. | Culinary Creation

International Conflict and Conflict Management

International Conflict and Conflict Management

This book asks scholars to reexamine international conflict and its management—in order to move the field toward directly theorizing about and examining the interdependence between conflict events and conflict management attempts. Despite decades of work research on international conflict and its management remains siloed in three fundamental ways. First scholars do not thoroughly address international conflict dynamics within studies of conflict management even though the former give rise to the latter. Second existing work generally investigates one conflict management strategy (e. g. mediation) at the expense of others (e. g. adjudication). These strategies however are not independent of one another; they exist on a single menu from which potential third parties choose. Third parties therefore implicitly—if not explicitly—consider and select among the various strategies when deciding how to manage a conflict thereby inviting and incorporating comparisons. Finally researchers tend to treat conflict management efforts—even within the same conflict—as independent events even though some efforts (e. g. adjudication or arbitration) follow and explicitly relate to other earlier efforts (e. g. an earlier negotiation or mediation). In short elements of sequencing and interaction influence conflict management even as scholars rarely consider such elements. This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers of Political Science International Relations and Conflict Management and Resolution. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Interactions. | International Conflict and Conflict Management

Foundation of Structural Geology

Foundation of Structural Geology

Since the first edition was published in 1983 this highly-regarded introductory textbook has been used by many generations of students worldwide. It is specifically tailored to the requirements of first or second year geology undergraduates. The third edition has been extensively revised and updated to include many new sections and over 50 new or redrawn illustrations. There are now over 220 illustrations many incorporating a second colour to highlight essential features. The format has been changed to enhance the visual attractiveness of the book. The tripartite organization of the first and second editions has been modified by combining the purely descriptive or factual aspects of fault and fold structure in the earlier chapters with a simple treatment of mechanisms leaving the more geometrically complex treatment until after the relevant sections on stress and strain as before. Some subjects are introduced for the first time e. g. inversion and orogen collapse and others have been extensively modified e. g. the chapter on gravity controlled structures now emphasises modern work on salt tectonics. The last third of the book is devoted to the wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate tectonics. The final two chapters have been considerably expanded and give examples of various types of geological structures in their plate tectonic settings in both modern and ancient orogenic belts. | Foundation of Structural Geology

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

This seventh edition of Philosophic Classics Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). New to this seventh edition: Changes in translations: New translations of Plato’s Apology and Phaedo and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Politics from the acclaimed Focus Philosophical Library Series. New translations of Plato’s Euthyphro and Crito. New translations of Epicurus’s Letter to Herodotus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines. New translation of the Parmenides fragments. Additional material: Gorgias’s model oration Encomium on Helen which gives a defense of Helen of Troy. A selection from Plato’s Gorgias on nature versus convention or law . Additional material from the opening of Plato’s Symposium to contextualize the dialogue. Additional material from Plato’s Republic (Book IX) on the tri-partite soul. Additional material from Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV 1-4 7) on the nature of being and the so-called three rules of thought. A brief selection from Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus giving a sense of the person. Updated and reorganized bibliographies. To allow for all these changes a section of Book V from Plato’s Republic has been dropped. Those who use this first volume in a one-term course in ancient philosophy will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. But this embarrassment of riches gives teachers some choice and for those who offer the same course year after year an opportunity to change the menu. | Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases

The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes that provides a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students instructors and researchers. Ion channels are mem- brane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; medi- ate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light sound odor and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excitable tissues ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness heart disease anesthesia pain and other clinical appli- cations. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. Volume III includes coverage of key ion channel regulators and their mechanisms the role of ion channels working in concert in selected physiological systems and examples of ion channel mutations and dysfunction in a selection of diseases. Chapters on ion channel regulation include splice variants calcium–calmodulin regulation regulation by G pro- teins and lipids. A selection of ion channels in physiological systems includes ion chan- nels of the heart ion channels in immune cells and their role in pancreatic beta cells and regulation of insulin secretion and the role of channels in sperm and eggs. While disease mechanisms are integrated into the chapters of Volume II Volume III offers special consid- eration of ion channels in epilepsy cystic fibrosis and pain syndromes. All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research offer a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families and includecoverage of key examples of regulatory physiological and disease roles for ion channels. | Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases
