Elise Massicard, "Street-Level Governing: Negotiating the State in Urban Turkey " English | ISBN: 1503628418 | 2022 | 344 pages | PDF | 2 MB Muhtars, the lowest level elected political position in Turkey, hold an ambiguously defined place within the administrative hierarchy. They are public officials, but local citizens do not always associate them with the central government. Street-Level Governing is the first book to investigate how muhtars carry out their role-not only what they are supposed to do, but how they actually operate-to provide an ethnographic study of the state as viewed from its margins. It starts from the premise that the seeming "margin" of state administration is not peripheral at all, but instructive as to how it functions. As Elise Massicard shows, muhtars exist at the intersection of everyday life and the exercise of power. Their position offers a personalized point of contact between citizens and state institutions, enabling close oversight of the citizenry, yet simultaneously projecting the sense of an accessible state to individuals. Challenging common theories of the state, Massicard outlines how the position of the muhtar throws into question an assumed dichotomy between domination and social resistance, and suggests that considerations of circumvention and accommodation are normal attributes of state-society functioning. Abel Paz, "Story of the Iron Column: Militant Anarchism in the Spanish Civil War" English | ISBN: 1849350647 | 2011 | 288 pages | PDF | 2 MB The history of the legendary Column who took the fight to fascism and defied the dictatorship springing up in their wake, riding out the rise and fall of the Spanish Revolution that raged alongside the Civil War. Abel Paz uses the testimony of its members, extracts from their newspaper Línea de Fuego, and internal documents to tell their remarkable story. Stop Overthinking : The 34 Best Techniques to Reducing Stress, Controlling your Mind, Overcoming Negative Thoughts and Living a Worry-Free Life by Alexander Clarke English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B1CYMY72 | 145 pages | EPUB | 0.78 Mb Overcome Rumination and See the Brightness of the Days Ahead - Your Step-By-Step Guide to Identify, Analyze, and Overcome Your Overthinking Tendencies! Welcome a Calmer State of Mind With This Book That Will Show You How Stochastic Benchmarking : Theory and Applications by Alireza Amirteimoori, Biresh K. Sahoo English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030898687 | 154 Pages | True PDF | 2.96 MB Sterile Manufacturing: Regulations, Processes, and Guidelines English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367754355 | 207 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB This book highlights key ideas and factors to coach and guide professionals involved in learning about Sterile Manufacturing and operational requirements. It covers regulations and guidelines instituted by the FDA, ISPE, EMA, MHRA, and ICH, emphasizing good manufacturing practice and inspection requirements in the manufacturing of medicinal products. Statistical Thermodynamics of Nonequilibrium Processes by Joel Keizer English | PDF | 1987 | 517 Pages | ISBN : 0387965017 | 44.6 MB The structure of the theory ofthermodynamics has changed enormously since its inception in the middle of the nineteenth century. Shortly after Thomson and Clausius enunciated their versions of the Second Law, Clausius, Maxwell, and Boltzmann began actively pursuing the molecular basis of thermo dynamics, work that culminated in the Boltzmann equation and the theory of transport processes in dilute gases. Much later, Onsager undertook the elucidation of the symmetry oftransport coefficients and, thereby, established himself as the father of the theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
Statistical Tables for Multivariate Analysis: A Handbook with References to Applications by Heinz Kres English | PDF | 1983 | 523 Pages | ISBN : 1461256119 | 32.8 MB An English translation of my "Statistisahe Tafeln zur multivariaten Analysis - Ein Handbuah mit Hinweisen zur Anwendung" was planned already in 1975 when I prepared the German volume. The tables were immediately supplied with German and English headings for the inten ded photo-offset printing. In the meantime. new and important tables for multivariate statistiaal hypotheses and proaedures have been aompiled and published. Only four of them have been inaorporated in the present volume. The seleation of these tables must be on an individual basis for reasons of spaae. Statistical Physics by A. M. Guénault English | PDF | 1988 | 197 Pages | ISBN : 0415002591 | 13.3 MB Statistical physics is not a difficult subject, and I trust that this will not be found a difficult book. It contains much that a number of generations of Lancaster students have studied with me, as part of their physics honours degree work. The lecture course was of twenty hours duration, and I have added comparatively little to the lecture syllabus. A pre requisite is that the reader should have a working knowledge of basic thermal physics (i.e. the laws of thermodynamics and their application to simple substances). The book Thermal Physics by Colin Finn in this series forms an ideal introduc tion. Statistical Physics: An Advanced Approach with Applications by Josef Honerkamp English | PDF | 1998 | 416 Pages | ISBN : 3540639780 | 32.1 MB The application of statistical methods to physics is essential. This unique book on statistical physics offers an advanced approach with numerous applications to the modern problems students are confronted with. Therefore the text contains more concepts and methods in statistics than the student would needed for statistical mechanics alone. Methods from mathematical statistics and stochastics for the analysis of data are discussed as well. The book is divided in two parts focusing first on the modelling of statistical systems then on the analysis of these systems. Problems with hints for solution help the students to deepen their knowledge. Statistical Models for Proportions and Probabilities by George A.F. Seber English | PDF | 2013 | 74 Pages | ISBN : 3642390404 | 1 MB Methods for making inferences from data about one or more probabilities and proportions are a fundamental part of a statistician's toolbox and statistics courses. Unfortunately many of the quick, approximate methods currently taught have recently been found to be inappropriate. This monograph gives an up-to-date review of recent research on the topic and presents both exact methods and helpful approximations. Detailed theory is also presented for the different distributions involved, and can be used in a classroom setting. It will be useful for those teaching statistics at university level and for those involved in statistical consulting. |
