 Science Research Writing: for native and non-native speakers of English (Second Edition) by Hilary Glasman-Deal English | 2021 | ISBN: 1786347830 | 385 Pages | PDF | 119 MB  Joseph I. Goldstein, Dale E. Newbury, Joseph R. Michael, Nicholas W.M. Ritchie, John Henry J. Scott, David C. Joy, "Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis, 4th Edition" English | 2017 | ISBN: 149396674X, 1493982699 | 573 pages | True PDF | 73.5 MB This thoroughly revised and updated Fourth Edition of a time-honored text provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the field of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) for elemental microanalysis, electron backscatter diffraction analysis (EBSD) for micro-crystallography, and focused ion beams. Students and academic researchers will find the text to be an authoritative and scholarly resource, while SEM operators and a diversity of practitioners ― engineers, technicians, physical and biological scientists, clinicians, and technical managers ― will find that every chapter has been overhauled to meet the more practical needs of the technologist and working professional. In a break with the past, this Fourth Edition de-emphasizes the design and physical operating basis of the instrumentation, including the electron sources, lenses, detectors, etc. In the modern SEM, many of the low level instrument parameters are now controlled and optimized by the microscope's software, and user access is restricted. Although the software control system provides efficient and reproducible microscopy and microanalysis, the user must understand the parameter space wherein choices are made to achieve effective and meaningful microscopy, microanalysis, and micro-crystallography. Therefore, special emphasis is placed on beam energy, beam current, electron detector characteristics and controls, and ancillary techniques such as energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).  Martin Prutton, Mohamed M. El Gomati, "Scanning Auger Electron Microscopy" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0470866772 | 384 pages | PDF | 53.2 MB This eagerly-awaited volume has been edited by two academic researchers with extensive and reputable experience in this field. Emphasis is given to the underlying science of the method of Auger microscopy, and its instrumental realization, the visualization and interpretation of the data in the sets of the images that form the output of the measurements and the methods used to quantify the images. Imaging artefacts in Auger microscopy and methods to correct them are also detailed. The authors describe the technique of Multi-Spectral Auger Microscopy (MULSAM) and demonstrate its advantages in mapping complex multi-component surfaces. The book concludes with an outlook for the future of Auger microscopy.  Russia, NATO and Cooperative Security: Bridging the Gap By Lionel Ponsard 2006 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0415407230 | PDF | 2 MB This book explores mutual common ground between Russia and NATO and the potential to move beyond cultural differences, particularly in political culture. Lionel Ponsard clearly demonstrates how cooperative security could serve as a means to bridge the gap between two supposedly antagonistic entities: NATO and Russia. He skilfully shows that by building confidence between the two parties about each other’s intentions, cooperative security can regulate attitudes that might otherwise lead to misperception. Focusing on the peculiarity of NATO-Russia relations, this unique book adopts the Russian approach to these relations, drawing on Ponsard’s deep expertise. Three clear parts of this volume articulate this original work: the definition of the Russian identity, Russia’s attitude to NATO and the question of cooperation in Russia-NATO relations. The analysis of the Russian identity sheds some light on what happened to this relationship in the past several years and offers key lessons for today’s considerations of the nation. Difficulties that have arisen since the end of the Soviet Union until the creation of the NATO-Russia Council in 2002 are also stressed and interpreted, adding to an excellent analysis of one of the key areas in contemporary security. This book will be of great interest to all students of NATO, security studies, Russian studies and international relations in general.  Jenny Edkins, "Routledge Handbook of Critical International Relations" English | ISBN: 1138907227 | 2019 | 378 pages | PDF | 10 MB Critical international relations is both firmly established and rapidly expanding, and this Handbook offers a wide-ranging survey of contemporary research. It affords insights into exciting developments, more challenging issues and less prominent topics, examining debates around questions of imperialism, race, gender, ethics and aesthetics, and offering both an overview of the existing state of critical international politics and an agenda-setting collection that highlights emerging areas and fosters future research. Sections cover: critique and the discipline; relations beyond humanity; art and narrative; war, religion and security; otherness and diplomacy; spaces and times; resistance; and embodiment and intimacy.
 Risky Business: Corruption, Fraud, Terrorism and Other Threats to Global Business By Stuart Poole-Robb, Alan Bailey, John Wheeler LLM, Dan C Pinck 2002 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 0749438177 | PDF | 6 MB The terrorist outrages of 11 September 2001 and the rapid collapse of Enron both highlight the uncomfortable fact that business and business people are subject to risks much broader and often more personally hazardous than those studied at business school. These risks to organizations and their employees in international markets are not confined to the actions of a few fanatical terrorists or fraudsters. They encompass a range of activity arising from different cultures and attitudes. They stem from the willingness or otherwise of governments to strengthen weaknesses in policing, judicial systems and anti-terrorism and to stamp out organized crime, corruption, unfair trading, cronyism, bureaucracy and civil unrest. All of these things exist to some degree in every country of the world. Through its international network вЂ" both official and clandestine вЂ" Stuart Poole-Robb's company, the Merchant International Group (MIG), has developed an unparalleled knowledge of the risks facing international businesses and those employed by them. MIG acts for many major international corporations in evaluating risks before investment and determining likely threats to success and safety well beyond the norms of due diligence. This book is the result of 20 years' experience in this field. It explains in detail the nature of risk and provides country analysis showing the extent and severity of local risk. It also proposes a series of defenses against these risks вЂ"- through careful assessment, staff awareness, good business practice and practical measures such as building design and use of security equipment. Topics covered include: * Defining ''gray area'' risks * Risk reduction strategies for international investment * Different cultures: misconceptions and business integration * Bureaucracy and corruption * Risky legal regimes * Organized crime and its effects on trade * Ethical/unethical business practice * Asset and personnel security issues * Defense against terrorism, kidnapping etc. * Defense against hacking/IT security * Global/regional disaster scenarios * Hot-spots: a country-by-country analysis of risk by type In addition, special case studies include Burma, Indonesia, South Korea, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, the European Union, Royal Dutch/Shell and industrial espionage. |
