 English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030860396 | 442 pages | pdf, epub | 213.17 MB This book of Springer Proceedings in Geoarchaeology and Archaeological Mineralogy contains selected papers presented at the 7th Geoarchaeology Conference, which took place during October 19-23, 2020, at the South Urals Federal Research Center, Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Miass, Russia. The Proceedings combine studies in archeometry, geoarchaeology, and ancient North Eurasian technologies, including paleometallurgy, stone tools investigation, past exploitation of geological resources, bioarchaeology, residue analysis, pottery, and lithics studies. This book also specializes in various non-organic materials, rocks, minerals, ores, and metals, especially copper and metallurgical slags. Many types of research also use modern analytical methods of isotopic, chemical, and mineralogical analysis to address the composition and structure of ancient materials and the technological practices of past human populations of modern Russia, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia.

A majority of men across the political spectrum feel that they face some amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors ofGender Threatlook at what reasoning lies behind their belief and how they respond to it. Many feel that there is a limited set of socially accepted ways for men to express their gender identity, and when circumstances make it difficult or impossible for them to do so, they search for another outlet to compensate. Sometimes these behaviors are socially positive, such as placing a greater emphasis on fatherhood, but other times they can be maladaptive, as in the case of increased sexual harassment at work. These trends have emerged, notably, since the Great Recession of 2008-09. Drawing on multiple data sources, the authors find that the specter of threats to their gender identity has important implications for men's behavior. Importantly, younger men are more likely to turn to nontraditional compensatory behaviors, such as increased involvement in cooking, parenting, and community leadership, suggesting that the conception of masculinity is likely to change in the decades to come.
 English | 2019 | ISBN: 075032189X | 413 pages | True (PDF,EPUB,MOB) | 395.34 MB Over decades, mechanochemical activation has been explored to synthesize oxide-based ceramic nanopowders, enabling shorter production cycles. This book offers an overview of the progress made in the field and provides a detailed look at the wide range of applications facilitated by the development of the mechanochemical activation technique. With chapters covering ferroelectric materials, ferrite ceramics with magneto-dielectric properties, mullite ceramics with controllable microstructure and anisotropic grain growth behaviours, it is a valuable reference for advanced students, researchers and engineers in materials science and engineering, applied physics, solid-state lasers and solid-state physics.

Gordon'sFear of Black Consciousnessis a groundbreaking account of Black consciousness by a leading philosopher  English | 2021 | ISBN: 9781789246162 | 521 pages | True PDF | 26.18 MB Fasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics, proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore pays particular attention to these developments with the addition of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites have had on the global human population, their distribution and their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and veterinary parasitology.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 8770224331 , 978-8770224338 | 382 pages | True PDF | 44.12 MB Visualization and visual analytics are powerful concepts for exploring data from various application domains. The endless number of possible parameters and the many ways to combine visual variables as well as algorithms and interaction techniques create lots of possibilities for building such techniques and tools.  English | 2019 | ISBN: 0750322306 | 276 pages | True (PDF,EPUB,MOB) | 92.79 MB Extreme Solar Particle Storms: The hostile Sun provides a consolidated review of our current understanding of extreme solar events, or black swans, that leave our technological society vulnerable. Written by experts at the forefront of the growing field of solar storms, this book will be of interest to students and researchers, as well as those curious about the threat that our Sun poses to the modern world.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1640552723 | 381 pages | True PDF EPUB | 24.58 MB Successful physician engagement comes in many shapes and sizes. What works for one healthcare organization may not work for another. And with myriad differences among physicians in terms of age, specialty, work location, and more, multiple approaches to enhancing engagement are needed. The key is exploring different strategies and finding the ones that work for you and your organization. |
