 The Science of Generosity: Causes, Manifestations, and Consequences by Patricia Snell Herzog English | PDF | 2019 | 191 Pages | ISBN : 3030264998 | 2.6 MB This book advances understanding of the manifestations, causes, and consequences of generosity. Synthesizing the findings of the 14 research projects conducted by the Science of Generosity Initiative and offering an appendix of methods for studying generosity, this comprehensive account integrates insights from disparate disciplines to facilitate a broader understanding of giving―ultimately creating a compendium of not only the latest research in the field of altruistic behaviors, but also a research roadmap for the future.  The Role of Microbes in Common Non-Infectious Diseases by I.W. Fong English | PDF | 2014 | 185 Pages | ISBN : 1493916696 | 2.1 MB This new volume in the series Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century is a novel book on the role of microbes in the pathogenesis of common and disabling non-infectious diseases. New insights have emerged over the past several years suggesting that our commensal microflora of the gut is extremely important in regulating physiological and immune functions of the body.  The Political Economy of Nuclear Energy: Prospects and Retrospect by Dipak Basu English | PDF | 2019 | 280 Pages | ISBN : 3030270289 | 2.1 MB Using primarily Russian sources, this book explains the political and economic aspects of nuclear power. The nuclear fuel cycle is described, from the mining of natural uranium to the ultimate power generation, and to reprocessing to produce plutonium which is essential for both electricity generation and for weapons production. Historical aspects of nuclear developments in Germany, the USA, India, China and the Soviet Union are also considered and explained. The book then proceeds to argue that Russia is more powerful today in its nuclear weapons system and delivery than ever before, and that it is precisely this which has provoked President Trump to cancel the strategic nuclear weapons reduction treaty.  The New American Poetry and Cold War Nationalism (Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics) English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030773515 | 245 Pages | PDF EPUB | 2 MB  The Higgs Boson Produced With Top Quarks in Fully Hadronic Signatures by Daniel Salerno English | PDF | 2019 | 207 Pages | ISBN : 3030312569 | 7.5 MB The work presented in this PhD dissertation is the first search at CMS for Higgs bosons produced in association with top quarks (ttH) in a final state consisting of only jets. The results presented in this book uncover a new class of ttH events that will help us elucidate our understanding of the Yukawa sector interactions between the Higgs boson and the top quark. Despite this being the most common decay signature for ttH, a large contamination of SM backgrounds makes it the most challenging for extracting a signal from data. The PhD thesis presents many sophisticated tools and techniques that were developed in order to overcome these challenges. These tools pave the way for future analyses to investigate other standard model and beyond-standard model physics.  The Grants Register 2022: The Complete Guide to Postgraduate Funding Worldwide English | 2021 | ISBN: 1349960438 | 1389 Pages | PDF | 26 MB The Grants Register 2022 is the most authoritative and comprehensive guide available of postgraduate and professional funding worldwide.

Awarding bodies are arranged alphabetically with a full list of awards to allow for comprehensive reading. The Register contains full contact details including telephone, fax, email and websites as well as details of application procedures and closing dates.  The Geometry of Complex Domains by Robert E. Greene English | PDF | 2011 | 310 Pages | ISBN : 0817641394 | 2.3 MB The geometry of complex domains is a subject with roots extending back more than a century, to the uniformization theorem of Poincaré and Koebe and the resulting proof of existence of canonical metrics for hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. In modern times, developments in several complex variables by Bergman, Hörmander, Andreotti-Vesentini, Kohn, Fefferman, and others have opened up new possibilities for the unification of complex function theory and complex geometry. In particular, geometry can be used to study biholomorphic mappings in remarkable ways. This book presents a complete picture of these developments.  The Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Economy: Volume II - The Changing International Financial System and Implications by John Joshua English | PDF | 2019 | 219 Pages | ISBN : 3030280675 | 2.2 MB This two-volume work provides a comprehensive overview of the Belt and Road Initiative, examining its impact on economic growth, trade, financial systems and international relations. Weaving theory with real-world examples, Joshua makes an important contribution to the understanding of how the Global Economy is being shaped through these developments.  The Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Economy: Volume I - Trade and Economic Development by John Joshua English | PDF | 2019 | 216 Pages | ISBN : 3030280292 | 2.5 MB[ This two-volume work provides a comprehensive overview of the Belt and Road Initiative, examining its impact on economic growth, trade, financial systems and international relations.

Temporary Works: Principles of design and construction, Second edition English | 2019 | ISBN: 0727763385 | 535 Pages | PDF | 87 MB Temporary Works: Principles of design and construction provides authoritative and comprehensive guidance on temporary works for practising engineers. With contributions from twenty four industry experts, this is the only reference book to cover all sub-specialities of temporary works within a single volume. Informed by the latest UK Regulations and use of European codes in the UK, chapters consider the how and why of current methods across a wide range of topics. Drawing on years of collective experience of temporary works in practice the book is a source of immediate, practical solutions to common problems and also includes an extensive list of references for each subject. This new edition brings up to date the topics inherent in temporary works in the original 27 chapters and also includes seven new chapters on Backpropping, Basement Construction, Needling, Pipe testing, Rebar stability, Digital Project Delivery, and Temporary Works in Demolition. Temporary Works, Second edition is an invaluable companion for temporary and permanent works designers, engineers, technicians, temporary works co-coordinators and supervisors, lecturers and also contractors looking to minimise costs, maximise efficiency and ensure the safety of those working on site. |
