Powder Metallurgy Science Technology and Materials

Powder Metallurgy Science Technology and Materials

Since the 1920s modern powder metallurgy has been used to produce a wide range of structural powder metallurgy components self-lubricating bearings and cutting tools. The conventional method involves the production of metal powders and the manufacture of useful objects from such powders by die compaction and sintering. Powder injection molding permits the production of stronger more uniform and more complex powder metallurgy parts. A detailed discussion of powder metallurgy materials and products is given in this book. Worked examples exercises questions and problems are included in each chapter. | Powder Metallurgy Science Technology and Materials

Banach Limit and Applications

Banach Limit and Applications

Banach Limit and Applications provides all the results in the area of Banach Limit its extensions generalizations and applications to various fields in one go (as far as possible). All the results in this field after Banach introduced this concept in 1932 were scattered till now. Sublinear functionals generating and dominating Banach Limit unique Banach Limit (almost convergence) invariant means and invariant limits absolute and strong almost convergence applications to ergodicity law of large numbers Fourier series uniform distribution of sequences uniform density core theorems and functional Banach limits are discussed in this book. The discovery of functional analysis such as the Hahn-Banach Theorem and the Banach-Steinhaus Theorem helped the researchers to develop a modern rich and unified theory of sequence spaces by encompassing classical summability theory via matrix transformations and the topics related to sequence spaces which arose from the concept of Banach limits all of which are presented in this book. The unique features of this book are as follows: All the results in this area which were scattered till now are in one place. The book is the first of its kind in the sense that there is no other competitive book. The contents of this monograph did not appear in any book form before.

Configurations of Interdisciplinarity Within Education Danish Experiences in a Global Educational Space

Configurations of Interdisciplinarity Within Education Danish Experiences in a Global Educational Space

This book explores how everyday life within educational institutions changes in response to ideas of interdisciplinarity at policy level. It provides new insights into different configurations of interdisciplinarity which traverses all levels of the Danish educational system. Offering a novel perspective to interdisciplinarity in terms of its configurations the book discusses the Danish educational system and its current transformations showing how progressive ideas are entangled with new forms of accountability and complex responsibilities. It identifies the concrete challenges that interdisciplinarity is expected to solve and the organizational changes resulting from the solutions introduced arguing that interdisciplinarity in education is neither a uniform or consistent process nor are the kinds of disciplining it may yield. This book will appeal to academics researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of interdisciplinary education pedagogy comparative education and northern European educational and welfare systems. | Configurations of Interdisciplinarity Within Education Danish Experiences in a Global Educational Space

Targeting in International Law Counterinsurgency and the Legal Materiality of the Principle of Distinction

Targeting in International Law Counterinsurgency and the Legal Materiality of the Principle of Distinction

This book is about how distinctions are drawn between civilians and combatants in modern warfare and how the legal principle of distinction depends on the technical means through which combatants make themselves visibly distinguishable from civilians. The author demonstrates that technologies of visualisation have always been part of the operation of the principle of distinction arguing that the military uniform sustained the legal categories of civilian and combatant and actively set the boundaries of permissible and prohibited targeting and so legal and illegal killing. Drawing upon insights from the theory of legal materiality visual studies critical fashion studies and a dozen of military manuals he shows that far from being passive objects of regulation these technologies help to draw the boundaries of the legitimate target. With its attention to the co-productive relationship between law technologies of visualisation and legitimation of violence this book will be relevant to a large community of researchers in international law international relations critical military studies contemporary counterinsurgency operations and the sociology of law. | Targeting in International Law Counterinsurgency and the Legal Materiality of the Principle of Distinction

Migration Community and Identity Countercultural Lifestyle Migration to Rural Wales 1965-1980

Migration Community and Identity Countercultural Lifestyle Migration to Rural Wales 1965-1980

Migration Community and Identity analyses experiences of migration to rural Wales from 1965 to 1980. It focuses on people who were part of the era’s counterculture looking for an escape from mainstream society. Using original interviews the book shows why people moved and how the move shaped their lives and identities. Drawing together geographical and historical research this book explores the significance of this migration phenomenon. It provides a unique insight into late-twentieth-century Welsh society and shines a new light on the counterculture itself. Through analysing the experience of life in Wales and ongoing developments in the migrants’ sense of identity it argues that rather than being a uniform group the counterculture encompassed a diverse range of beliefs and aspirations. The book will be suitable for upper-level undergraduates and above. The broad range of themes covered in this book is relevant not only to rural and historical geographers and migration researchers but also to those interested in sociology anthropology and the modern history of Britain and Wales. The theories and concepts discussed have global appeal and will be of interest to those studying similar migration phenomena elsewhere. | Migration Community and Identity Countercultural Lifestyle Migration to Rural Wales 1965-1980

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

This book commemorates a place and a time in American law teaching but more importantly an outlook: the common law tradition. That outlook was empirical and tolerant. These values were carried into expression by a group of people who were not part of a cult or faction nor ruled by the herd instinct. Now in paperback The Common Law Tradition is a collective portrait of five scholars who epitomize the tradition. The focus is Chicago in the 1960s. The five figures considered-Edward H. Levi Harry Kalven Jr. Karl Llewellyn Philip Kurland and Kenneth Culp Davis-did much to broaden the perspectives of the legal academy. Levi made use of sociology economics and comparative law. Kalven collaborated with sociologists on the Jury Project and with economists on tax law and auto compensation plans. Llewellyn's commitment to empirical research underpinned his work on the Uniform Commercial Code. Kurland's approach to constitutional law was highlighted by his insistence on the relevance of legal history. Davis was an energetic comparativist in his work on administrative law. What distinguished these Chicagoans is that their work was practical and rooted in the law and hence yielded concrete applications. The group's diversity the tolerant atmosphere in which they taught and wrote and the attachment of its individual members to empirical approaches differentiate them from today's legal scholars and make their ideas of continuing importance. | The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

From the 1980s through the 1990s children in many areas of the world benefited from new opportunities to attend school but they also faced new demands to support their families because of continuing and for many worsening poverty. Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America is a comparative study of children ages 12-17 in three different Latin American societies. Using nationally-representative household surveys from Chile Peru and Mexico and repeatedly over different survey years David Post documents tendencies for children to become economically active to remain in school or to do both. The survey data analyzed illustrates the roles of family and regional poverty and parental resources in determining what children did with their time in each country. However rather than to treat children's activities merely as demographic phenomena or in isolation of the policy environment Post also scrutinizes the international differences in education policies labor law welfare spending and mobilization for children's rights. Children's Work shows that child labor will not vanish of its own accord nor follow a uniform path even within a common geographic region. Accordingly there is a role for welfare policy and for popular mobilization. Post indicates that even when children attend school as in Peru or Mexico many students will continue to work to support the family. If the consequence of their work is to impede their educational success then schools will need to attend to a new dimension of inequality: that between part-time and full-time students.

Policing Welfare Fraud The Government of Welfare Fraud and Non-Compliance

Policing Welfare Fraud The Government of Welfare Fraud and Non-Compliance

Policing Welfare Fraud charts and interrogates the suite of measures ostensibly designed to combat welfare fraud and non-compliance. In Australia which serves as the empirical focus of this book these strategies include stringent ID checks pre-emptive data surveillance technologies including the infamous and illegal ‘robodebt’ programme a dedicated fraud hotline and an ‘intelligence-led’ fraud investigation framework. Drawing on original documentary and interview data including interviews with fraud investigators this book unpacks the logics that underpin these anti-fraud initiatives with a focus on how these initiatives are imbued with logics and practices more readily associated with the criminal justice system. The central argument of the book is that the emergence of contemporary welfare compliance regimes represents a form of ‘governing through fraud’ in which the threat of welfare fraud has effectively necessitated a regime of criminalisation within the welfare state. This has been enabled by a broader process of neoliberal welfare reform which has cast suspicion over all welfare use. The overall effect of this regime is to restrict access to social security punish welfare recipients and stigmatise welfare use. Policing Welfare Fraud also highlights points of contradiction and multiplicity in the enactment of specific welfare compliance initiatives including attempts by welfare officials to moderate or reformulate these strategies ‘on the ground’. These findings demonstrate that the criminalisation of welfare is neither uniform nor inexorable and that more progressive welfare reform is possible. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology politics and those interested in the policing of welfare recipients. | Policing Welfare Fraud The Government of Welfare Fraud and Non-Compliance

Drafting Italy Conscription and the Military from 1814 to 1914

Drafting Italy Conscription and the Military from 1814 to 1914

This is the first comprehensive history of conscription and the military in Italy from the Restoration to the eve of WWI. The comparative and transnational approach enables this work to compare and contrast the Italian experience with that of many other countries in the world as well as understand transfers and the adaptive and imitative processes that emerge when conscription and the military are viewed from an Italian perspective. Peacetime and wartime recruitment military life culture justice and civil-military relationships are analysed using a wide range of sources and an interdisciplinary approach that combines top-down and bottom-up perspectives. This enables the book not only to assess the contribution the military has made to the country in terms of state-building nation building modernization pedagogical and disciplinary models gender identity and roles but also to reconsider the standard taxonomies as well as some established evolutionary models of the armies. Moreover the Italian military is seen as an internally complex world that is incapable of defining its own one-dimensional identity or of imposing any such identity on its members. Consequently it is an element in the history of a country that is substantially the same as any other such element and thus important in people’s collective and individual lives whether or not they are in uniform. Rather than being an object of study in and of itself the military becomes a vantage point from which to observe the Italian history in the long 19th century. Therefore this book can be profitably read by professional military historians and non-specialist readers interested in the military as well as by all scholars working on Italian pre- and post-unification political institutional socio-economic cultural and gender history. | Drafting Italy Conscription and the Military from 1814 to 1914

The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates

The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates

These original contributions on the evolution of primates and the techniques for studying the subject cover an enormous range of material and incorporate the work of specialists from many different fields showing the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to problems of primate morphology and phylogeny. Collectively they demonstrate the concerns and methods of leading contemporary workers in this and related fields. Each contributor shows his way of attacking fundamental problems of evolutionary primatology. The range of findings in this book include new clues to the evolution of the middle ear and the subsistence behavior of early primates a persuasive critique of the Smith-Jones hypothesis that many features of primate cranial morphology are adaptations to the special vicissitudes of arboreal habitation the remarkable association of relative muscle mass in the hands and feet of catarrhine primates with the particularities of prehensile behaviors the wealth of behavioral data that may be obtained by the concentrated study of certain primates in the vicinity of waterholes the striking differences between inferences about the same behavioral phenomena that are based on long-term as opposed to short-term observations of one primate social group and the strategy of sophisticated mathematical techniques for elucidating biomechanical evolutionary and behavioral problems. Each chapter conveys the status and progress of research in these and other particular areas of special interest pointing the way toward further clarification of the functional biology and phylogeny of primates through the application of relatively new techniques or the comprehensive employment of available methods. No attempt is made to smooth over controversial points of view or to endorse a single uniform model of primate evolution. This work will be an important reference for evolutionary and physical anthropologists evolutionary biologists comparative morphologists human anatomists behavioralists and students of evolution. | The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates
