Adjudication in Construction Law

This book collects all the relevant material regarding the process of adjudication in construction. It provides clarity for those involved in the adjudication process or related proceedings with detailed and reliable analysis of them supported by statutory provisions and judicial observations. Adjudication in Construction Law discusses the role of ‘true value’ adjudications following smash and grab decisions on the basis of the absence of a pay less notice the restraint of adjudication by injunction hybrid contracts dealing with both construction operations and other operations and timing and content of payment notices and pay less notices. Additionally this book includes a summary of the different procedures adopted in other jurisdictions as well as an explanation of the payment procedures under the statutory framework. It also goes on to append all the relevant statutory material contractual adjudication procedures and forms. A new feature of this edition is a detailed analysis and discussion of the development and of the ‘rules’ relating to the acceptability of a wrong answer provided that the right question has been dealt with only one dispute being susceptible to adjudication and the necessity or otherwise of a dispute ‘arising under’ the construction contract. A clear and comprehensive aid this book is an essential read for lawyers or construction professionals involved in adjudication.

The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think in Action

A leading M. I. T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions - engineering architecture management psychotherapy and town planning - to show how professionals really go about solving problems. The best professionals Donald Schön maintains know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated largely unexamined process is the subject of Schön's provocatively original book an effort to show precisely how 'reflection-in-action' works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals. | The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think in Action

Method of Averaging for Differential Equations on an Infinite Interval Theory and Applications

In recent years mathematicians have detailed simpler proofs of known theorems have identified new applications of the method of averaging and have obtained many new results of these applications. Encompassing these novel aspects Method of Averaging of the Infinite Interval: Theory and Applications rigorously explains the modern theory of the method of averaging and provides a solid understanding of the results obtained when applying this theory. The book starts with the less complicated theory of averaging linear differential equations (LDEs) focusing on almost periodic functions. It describes stability theory and Shtokalo's method and examines various applications including parametric resonance and the construction of asymptotics. After establishing this foundation the author goes on to explore nonlinear equations. He studies standard form systems in which the right-hand side of a system is proportional to a small parameter and proves theorems similar to Banfi's theorem. The final chapters are devoted to systems with a rapidly rotating phase. Covering an important asymptotic method of differential equations this book provides a thorough understanding of the method of averaging theory and its resulting applications. | Method of Averaging for Differential Equations on an Infinite Interval Theory and Applications

The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction

Novelists have long been attracted to theatre. Some have pursued success on the stage but many have sought to combine these worlds entering theatre through their fiction setting stages on their novels’ pages and casting actors directors and playwrights as their protagonists. The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction has convened an international community of scholars to explore the remarkable array of novelists from many eras and parts of the world who have created fiction from the stuff of theatre asking what happens to theatre on the pages of novels and what happens to novels when they collaborate with theatre. From J. W. Goethe to Louisa May Alcott Mikhail Bulgakov Virginia Woolf and Margaret Atwood some of history’s most influential novelists have written theatre-fiction and this Companion discusses many of these figures from new angles. But it also spotlights writers who have received less critical attention such as Dorothy Leighton Agustín de Rojas Villandrando Ronald Firbank Syed Mustafa Siraj Li Yu and Vicente Blasco Ibañez bringing their work into conversation with a vital field. A valuable resource for students scholars and admirers of both theatre and novels The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction offers a wealth of new perspectives on topics of increasing critical concern including intermediality theatricality antitheatricality mimesis diegesis and performativity.

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.

Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

This is a new series which publishes for the first time the correspondences of Sir Harry Smith Parkes (1828 – 1885) the second British Minister of Japan and includes the complete transcriptions of his ‘private’ letters to and from Edmund Hammond permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who was the decision maker about major issues in the British relation to Asia and his successors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chronologically arranged the series covers all such letters during his 18 years in Japan and with the first volume for Bakumatsu the end of the Shogunate era. Parkes arrived in Japan in 1865 as the second Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General of the United Kingdom to Japan and stayed at the position till 1883. He was one of the few who observed Japan during its turbulent period of Westernization and supported the reformers to establish the new government. His efforts and services alongside his secretaries such as Ernest Satow George Aston and A. B. Freeman-Mitford saw the modernization of Japan starting under the strong influence of Britain. Despite his leading role between Japan and the West in early years his days and activities in Japan are less known and not widely studied due to the lack of primary source information as his experiences remained unpublished unlike his predecessor Rutherford Alcock who authored The Capital of the Tycoon or Ernest Satow’s A Diplomat in Japan. Apart from two volumes in Parkes’ biography by F. V. Dickins no contemporary sources of his life are available. This series of private correspondence of Sir Harry Parkes will fill such a gap and will be of interest for scholars and student of Japan and Anglo-Japanese history. All correspondence included in the volumes are fully annotated. Also included are his letters with other members of the ministry and documents such as conference minutes which will provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. | Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

In every decision problem there are things we know and things we do not know. Risk analysis science uses the best available evidence to assess what we know while it is carefully intentional in the way it addresses the importance of the things we do not know in the evaluation of decision choices and decision outcomes. The field of risk analysis science continues to expand and grow and the second edition of Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty responds to this evolution with several significant changes. The language has been updated and expanded throughout the text and the book features several new areas of expansion including five new chapters. The book’s simple and straightforward style—based on the author’s decades of experience as a risk analyst trainer and educator—strips away the mysterious aura that often accompanies risk analysis. Features: Details the tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication in a straightforward conceptual manner Provides sufficient detail to empower professionals in any discipline to become risk practitioners Expands the risk management emphasis with a new chapter to serve private industry and a growing public sector interest in the growing practice of enterprise risk management Describes dozens of quantitative and qualitative risk assessment tools in a new chapter Practical guidance and ideas for using risk science to improve decisions and their outcomes is found in a new chapter on decision making under uncertainty Practical methods for helping risk professionals to tell their risk story are the focus of a new chapter Features an expanded set of examples of the risk process that demonstrate the growing applications of risk analysis As before this book continues to appeal to professionals who want to learn and apply risk science in their own professions as well as students preparing for professional careers. This book remains a discipline free guide to the principles of risk analysis that is accessible to all interested practitioners. Files used in the creation of this book and additional exercises as well as a free student version of Palisade Corporation’s Decision Tools Suite software are available with the purchase of this book. A less detailed introduction to the risk analysis science tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication is found in Primer of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty Second Edition ISBN: 978-1-138-31228-9. | Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty
