The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

First published in 1965 The Politics of Repeal is primarily concerned with the last great campaign in Daniel O’Connell’s career and its impact on British and Irish politics. The 1840s were marked by a formidable agitation to have the Act of Union repealed and an independent Irish legislature restored. In attacking the Union between Great Britain and Ireland O’Connell encountered the sustained opposition of Sir Robert Peel and a study of the conflict between the two men is an important feature of the book. Dr. Nowlan also discusses the rise of the Young Ireland movement and the disputes between the Young Irelanders and O’Connell. The political developments during the dark years of the Great Famine are examined and a close study is made of the events leading up to the Irish rebellion of 1848 and of the relations between Irish nationalists and French republicans during that year of revolutions. This book will be of interest to students of Irish history British history and political science. | The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

Canon Speedlites and Nikon Speedlights are small off-camera flashguns that can provide big results - if you know how to use them properly. Acclaimed Boston photographers Lou Jones Bob Keenan and Steve Ostrowski guide you through the technical and creative aspects of how to get the most out of these powerful tools in this indispensable guide packed full of inspirational images and comprehensive diagrams of the lighting set ups used to capture them. They are significantly more advanced lighter and considerably cheaper than a standard flashgun and have many advantages. They are small (and cheap) enough that a number can be carried in your kit and they can be used in combination triggered wirelessly. They use through-the-lens (TTL) metering which allows you to use the in-camera LCD and histograms to calculate the required power/direction rather than havng to use a light meter or trial and error. They use proprietary dedicated technology (from Canon and Nikon) that means there are no compatability issues. Getting the most out of them however remains a mystery - most photographers still just use their speedlights in the same way as a standard flash gun. This is where this book comes in. | Speedlights & Speedlites Creative Flash Photography at Lightspeed Second Edition

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy examines the multidisciplinary overlap between the spatial disciplines and the studies of science and technology through a comparative study of four of the world’s most important radio telescopes. Employing detailed analysis historical research interviews personal observations and various conceptual manoeuvres Guy Trangoš reveals the depth of spatial process active at these scientific sites and the territories they traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory hyper-concentration and contingency Trangoš interprets the telescope as exploded across space and time present in multiple connected sites simultaneously and active in the production of space. He develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA Chile); the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA (South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture and science the studies of science technology and society and urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and designers expanding their analysis of spatial production scholars in the study of geography landscape science technology and astronomy and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes were conceptualised built and operate today.

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration Commission Autonomy or Council Control?

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration Commission Autonomy or Council Control?

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration studies 50 bilateral trade agreements negotiated by the European Commission from 1970–2008 and how they shaped European integration. The book argues that the Commission used these trade agreements signed primarily with countries in Asia and Latin America to advance European integration by ensuring that they became wider in scope and institutionally deeper by establishing ‘joint bodies’ – even in the face of resistance from member states in the Council of the European Union. Drawing upon principal–agent theory to explain Commission autonomy and Council control as well as extensive archival material and other sources across six in-depth case studies it shows that the Commission primarily relied on asymmetric information to shape trade agreements in earlier negotiations. In later negotiations the Commission harnessed its agendasetting power to submit agreements that the Council could only accept or reject. Overall the book argues that these 50 trade agreements significantly impacted European integration by increasing the Commission’s external action capability transforming it into a truly global political actor – one trade agreement at a time. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of European Union Studies and EU policy-making practitioners involved in trade and external relations and engaged citizens in Europe and abroad particularly in India which is prominently featured in the book.

Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

The amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged diseased or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases these sensations are perceived as painful and referred to as ‘Phantom Limb Pain’. Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain provides an overview of research experiences and results for the design development and test of hardware and software components and the ambition to safely implant and evaluate a novel neural interface system to combat phantom limb pain in an amputee volunteer subject.

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi (1501–50) was a Florentine cardinal nephew and cousin to the Medici popes Leo X and Clement VII and he owed his status and wealth to their patronage. He remained actively engaged in Florentine politics above all during the years of crisis that saw the Florentine state change from republic to duchy. A widely respected patron and scholar throughout his life his sudden death during the conclave of 1549–50 led to allegations of poison that an autopsy appears to confirm. This book examines Cardinal Ridolfi and his court in order to understand the extent to which cardinalate courts played a key part in Rome’s resurgence and acted as hubs of knowledge located on the fault lines of politics and reform in church and state hospitable spaces that can be analysed in the context of entanglements in Florentine and Roman cultural and political patronage and intersections between the princely court and a more professional and complex knowledge and practice of household management in the consumer and service economy of early modern Rome. Based on an array of archival sources and on three treatises whose authors were closely linked to Ridolfi’s court this monograph explores these multidisciplinary intersections to allow the more traditional fields of church and political history to be approached from different angles. Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court will appeal to all those interested in the organisation of these elite establishments and their place in sixteenth-century Roman society the life and patronage of Niccolò Ridolfi in the context of the Florentine exiles who desired a return to republicanism and the history of the Roman Catholic Church. | Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows
