Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

This book demystifies how Kubernetes networking actually works by walking through a simple but practical simulation that mirrors reality as closely as possible while skipping the gory details. Widespread adoption of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes have spawned a whole field of industry products startups and academic research in the field of container networking typically termed as cloud-native networking. But what is cloud-native networking? What are the various pieces and how do they fit together? Over recent years most applications have been deployed on cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes has been the widely adopted orchestrator for these clouds. Application developers in most cases are unaware of the underlying plumbing in Kubernetes that holds their applications running as containers. Networking is an integral part of any Kubernetes environment and efficiently drives the various abstractions provided by it. Needless to say it greatly effects the performance of applications which in general have a humongous amount of inter-microservice communication. The impact is even more profound in multiple cloud environments. | Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization in Maritime Transport Contemporary Trends and Challenges

Containerization provides optimization of handling processes in terms of intermodality and efficient cargo handling and maritime transport in particular it provides further optimization of shipping processes in terms of volume and distance. Containerization has become the most significant factor stimulating the development of modern global trade. With the progress of globalization taken into account (longer distances and increasing cargo volumes) it can be seen that cargo becomes predestined to be transported by sea which encourages ship owners to enlarge their fleets of container ships. Containerization in Maritime Transport: Contemporary Trends and Challenges addresses the key challenges to maritime transport and containerization beginning with economic and managerial factors through organizational technical operational information and IT challenges and ending with ecological challenges—ideally to lessen the environmental impacts of maritime transport. Features: Discusses the latest technological advances in shipping including augmented reality (AR) virtual reality (VR) artificial intelligence (AI) 5G networks smart camera and computer vision systems and digital twin technology. Presents ecological considerations and solutions that are indispensable to develop efficient and safe green supply chains.

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

This book investigates the architectural product design and urban typology of the capsule which beginning in the 1960s broadened the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include a minimal living unit called the capsule. Here it is presented with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern Movement its revisionist criticism pioneering examples as well as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of resistance with the potential to search for an other architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity (manifested in small dwellings composite structures and container units; shelters and mobile homes in nature and the urban environment; technology transfer in high-tech designs; devices additions and extensions etc. ). The concept of the capsule as a building element of architecture as well as a spatial element can therefore be regarded as having a generative potential for an architecture of personal space for the individual forcing us to reflect on our existing living and dwelling conditions. | Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture explores the multisensory space of therapy real or virtual and how important it is in providing the container for the therapeutic relationship and process. This book is highly original in bringing psychoanalysis and architecture together and highlighting how both disciplines strive to achieve transformation of our psychic space. It brings together contributions that comprise three parts: the first explores the space of the consulting room through the senses to examine issues such as smell and its link with memory and belonging hearing out the Other the psychoanalytic couch the medical therapy room and the so-called sixth sense; secondly the book questions how the consulting room can represent or be redesigned to reflect the philosophy that underlies the therapy process foregrounding an architectural point of view; and thirdly the book attends to the significance of the consulting room as a virtual space as it emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19 and beyond. Architectural psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for an important new dimension on the psychological use of space and will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapists art therapists students of psychotherapy as well as architects and designers. | Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture The Relational Space of the Consulting Room Through the Senses

Entangled Heritages Postcolonial Perspectives on the Uses of the Past in Latin America

Entangled Heritages Postcolonial Perspectives on the Uses of the Past in Latin America

Relying on the concept of a shared history this book argues that we can speak of a shared heritage that is common in terms of the basic grammar of heritage and articulated histories but divided alongside the basic difference between colonizers and colonized. This problematic is also evident in contemporary uses of the past. The last decades were crucial to the emergence of new debates: subcultures new identities hidden voices and multicultural discourse as a kind of new hegemonic platform also involving concepts of heritage and/or memory. Thereby we can observe a proliferation of heritage agents especially beyond the scope of the nation state. This volume gets beyond a container vision of heritage that seeks to construct a diachronical continuity in a given territory. Instead authors point out the relational character of heritage focusing on transnational and translocal flows and interchanges of ideas concepts and practices as well as on the creation of contact zones where the meaning of heritage is negotiated and contested. Exploring the relevance of the politics of heritage and the uses of memory in the consolidation of these nation states as well as in the current disputes over resistances hidden memories undermined pasts or the politics of nostalgia this book seeks to seize the local/global dimensions around heritage. | Entangled Heritages Postcolonial Perspectives on the Uses of the Past in Latin America

Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux

Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux

Liquid Architecture challenges the idea of architecture as a fixed inert container and reconceptualises it as a body whose boundaries are rather blurred and ever-changing. This book moves away from form as the primary driver of spatial protocols and explores what the built environment might look like when viewed through the lenses of a ‘wet ontology’ that is attentive to fluidity flows and territorial dynamism. A reconfiguration of architectural materials and authorship is thus considered leading in turn to an exploration of the ethical dimensions of co-designing with natural systems (of various viscosities) through liquid paradigms. The book examines a set of principles for practice-led discoveries that incorporate hybrid mixed media with the author’s intersubjective relationship with liquid matter. Drawing from qualitative-based analytical investigation models the text allows comprehension of the liquid phenomena via material contextualisation of an ever-becoming research setting. Through a practical and theoretical engagement with the ontology of liquids the reader is exposed to a range of design-led experiments and creative propositions visualisation systems construction and testing of physical models that collectively translate into a series of novel insights for architectural agendas. This book will be of interest to architecture and design research students and academics because it advocates the need for a more symbiotic and resilient approach to natural systems which could benefit from the integration of regenerating material flows into our buildings and urban settlements. | Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux

Break Bulk and Cargo Management

Break Bulk and Cargo Management

This book covers the subjects of break bulk cargo general cargo and project cargo and how these cargoes are shipped. It deals with the cargoes themselves the vessels used for their carriage and how the carriage is managed using the process of vessel chartering. Alongside these it also covers offshore vessel management and how offshore supply vessels are used to carry cargoes to offshore oil and gas installations. Break bulk cargo covers a wide variety of cargoes from project cargo to more varied cargoes carried on an ad hoc basis often between ports that are not equipped for container traffic. It also covers the carriage of specific cargoes that cannot fit inside or are unsuitable for containers. This includes the carriage of cargoes for major projects and cargoes for the offshore sector which is an area covered in a specific section in the book concerning the use of offshore supply vessels. To date only minor elements of shipping books cover this kind of trade hence the need for a new book that specifically covers this subject. The focus of this book is providing expert insights and detailed explanations of the practical issues related to all aspects of break bulk and general cargo management. The book is written for legal practitioners shipping managers managers of project cargo oil and gas companies shipping professionals charterers shipbrokers shippers and anybody else involved in ad hoc vessel chartering for the carriage of break bulk general and project cargoes. It will also serve as a valuable resource for students of shipping. | Break Bulk and Cargo Management

Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

This insightful book explores the ‘as-if’ personality through the lens of Jungian analytical psychology illuminating how the same forces that can disturb personal development relationally socially and culturally are equally an impetus toward expressing and relating with one's more complete self. The book describes persons expressing an ‘as if’ personality as facing a conundrum around whether to hide or expose the truth of who they are. It describes the analytic container as a place of growth from that place affecting person and culture self and other. Using a myriad of clinical examples (across a range of cultures contexts and personal experiences) the author describes people who are moving through feelings of not belonging sexual addiction ageing the cultural influence of social media the role of the father and body image challenges. All these issues reveal the valuable recognition of the unconscious- a hallmark of Jungian analytical psychology- incorporates the dissociated others into selfhood. The theories of French psychoanalysts Andre Green on absence and the negative Julia Kristeva on abjection French philosopher Jacques Derrida on Narcissus and Echo and American philosopher Judith Butler on precarity expand the Jungian analytical thought to reflect the multiplicity of the psyche. Using understandable language to interweave various psychoanalytical and philosophical frameworks Imposter Syndrome and the ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology: The Fragility of Self is both accessible to general readers and highly relevant to professional analysts therapists clinicians and social workers. | Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

Co-edited by international earthworm expert Clive A. Edwards Vermiculture Technology: Earthworms Organic Wastes and Environmental Management is the first international comprehensive and definitive work on how earthworms and microorganisms interact to break down organic wastes on a commercial basis. Many books cover the importance of composting for reducing the amount of organic wastes in landfills. This reference focuses on innovative vermiculture technology that turns organic waste into a value-added environmentally friendly products that can improve soil fertility and productivity on a large scale. Chronicles more than two decades of growth and changes in earthworm composting technologyBased on the work of an outstanding international cast of scientists the book explores the dramatic growth and changes in vermiculture technology since 1988 and assesses advances made in government-funded projects in the United States and United Kingdom. The contributors discuss outdoor and indoor windrows container systems wedge systems and low labor-requirement fully-automated continuous flow vermicomposting reactor systems that can process more than 1000 tons of organic wastes per reactor per annum. They also highlight the science and biology behind the use and efficacy of vermicomposting examine its importance to developing countries and detail the technology of the past present and future. Although the development of a range of vermicomposting technologies has been rapid and the spread of vermicomposting dramatic the scientific literature remains scattered throughout a range of journals newsletters and online resources. As a compilation of information designed specifically to have an extended shelf life this volume chronicles how vermiculture can be brought into full commercial and industrial development and find application in integrated waste management systems. | Vermiculture Technology Earthworms Organic Wastes and Environmental Management

Biochar for Environmental Management Science Technology and Implementation

Biochar for Environmental Management Science Technology and Implementation

Biochar is the carbon-rich product which occurs when biomass (such as wood manure or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways and its persistence in soil and nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this biochar sequestration in combination with sustainable biomass production can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with potentially major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the use of the gases that are given off in the pyrolysis process. The first edition of this book published in 2009 was the definitive work reviewing the expanding research literature on this topic. Since then the rate of research activity has increased at least ten-fold and biochar products are now commercially available as soil amendments. This second edition includes not only substantially updated chapters but also additional chapters: on environmental risk assessment; on new uses of biochar in composting and potting mixes; a new and controversial field of studying the effects of biochar on soil carbon cycles; on traditional use with very recent discoveries that biochar was used not only in the Amazon but also in Africa and Asia; on changes in water availability and soil water dynamics; and on sustainability and certification. The book therefore continues to represent the most comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on all aspects of biochar. | Biochar for Environmental Management Science Technology and Implementation

Being and Nothingness An Essay in Phenomenological Ontology

Being and Nothingness An Essay in Phenomenological Ontology

First published in French in 1943 Jean-Paul Sartre’s L’Être et le Néant is one of the greatest philosophical works of the twentieth century. In it Sartre offers nothing less than a brilliant and radical account of the human condition. The English philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch wrote to a friend of the excitement – I remember nothing like it since the days of discovering Keats and Shelley and Coleridge. This new translation the first for over sixty years makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. What gives our lives significance Sartre argues in Being and Nothingness is not pre-established for us by God or nature but is something for which we ourselves are responsible. At the heart of this view are Sartre’s radical conceptions of consciousness and freedom. Far from being an internal passive container for our thoughts and experiences human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning. Combining this with the unsettling view that human existence is characterized by radical freedom and the inescapability of choice Sartre introduces us to a cast of ideas and characters that are part of philosophical legend: anguish; the bad faith of the memorable waiter in the café; sexual desire; and the look of the Other brought to life by Sartre’s famous description of someone looking through a keyhole. Above all by arguing that we alone create our values and that human relationships are characterized by hopeless conflict Sartre paints a stark and controversial picture of our moral universe and one that resonates strongly today. This new translation includes a helpful Translator’s Introduction a comprehensive Index and a Foreword by Richard Moran Brian D. Young Professor of Philosophy Harvard University USA. Translated by Sarah Richmond University College London UK. | Being and Nothingness An Essay in Phenomenological Ontology

Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism

Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism

The current phase of capitalist development manifests itself through a very diverse range of spatial byproducts: data centers warehouses container terminals logistics parks and many others. Generally considered as mediocre and banal examples that sit outside of pre-established disciplinary canons these architectural episodes are extremely relevant. They are relevant not for their aesthetic or historic qualities but for what they represent – for the system of values these spaces embed. They express specific power relations exacerbate issues of labor and generate dramatic processes of subjectivity. Most importantly these architectures despite their formal and typological heterogeneity belong to a common paradigm: the EXTERIORLESS. How can an architecture of the EXTERIORLESS be defined? How does it differentiate from examples and manifestations of the past? How do notions of legibility form versus function typological articulation come into play? In situating the spatialities of contemporary capitalism within the larger debate on Anthropocene Post-Anthropocene and Capitalocene the book attempts to answer those questions by delineating three main characteristics for an architecture of the EXTERIORLESS: its physical and symbolic role as interface; its ambiguous condition of being at the same time local and global isolated and connected compressed and expanded; and lastly its contribution to new forms of urbanity in absence of the traditional city. These three defining aspects constitute the main sections of the book. Each section includes two chapters covering a wide spectrum of themes and examples. In its tripartite organization the book describes the influence that the experimental architecture of the 1960s has exerted on late-capitalist spatial byproducts; it analyzes the impact of logistics on the redesign of the territory; and it introduces the radical processes of urban transformation generated by the EXTERIORLESS. | Exteriorless Architecture Form Space and Urbanities of Neoliberalism
