 Free Download Nontraditional Applications of Ultra-High-Pressure Technology in Agricultural Products Processing English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819937752 | 430 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 37 MB Ultra-high-pressure technology has been taking the sterilization and inactivation of agricultural products and food as core research and application fields since its birth. This book first outlines the basic principles of ultra-high pressure and then introduces non-traditional applications of the ultra-high-pressure technology in agricultural products such as Baijiu (the Chinese liquor), brown rice, and wood. These applications were discovered by the author, as well as the representative quality improvements of treatment objects brought by these applications. Finally, the author puts forward his own ideas on the non-traditional application trend of ultra-high-pressure technology in the future. This book aims to broaden the thinking for the application and research of ultra-high-pressure technology in agricultural product processing and propose specific ideas for future research and application in this field on the basis of the author's current research.  Free Download Bjorn Moller, Hakan Wiberg, "Non-offensive Defence For The Twenty-first Century" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0813320739, 0367159317 | EPUB | pages: 248 | 0.4 mb The concept of non-offensive defense (NOD) originated in Europe as a means of defusing the East-West conflict. In this volume, some of the founders and leading proponents of NOD show how alternative regimes could be modified and applied in conflict areas around the world - among the former Warsaw Pact countries and in the former Soviet Union, as well as in the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere. The contributors also assess the effects that an increased role for the United Nations might have on future national defense restructuring initiatives.

Yet even for terrorists and smugglers, the world is not flat; states exert formidable control over the technologies of globalization, and difficult terrain poses many of the same problems today as it has throughout human history.

Europe's death and the birth of a new world" English | 2019 | ASIN: B07VWKD15J | EPUB | pages: 65 | 0.3 mb European society - increasingly old, sick and tired - is succumbing. Is it destined to death? In this book, thanks to the intervention of some experts, we will see what are the characteristics of the new society in transformation. What are the new horizons we are about to see. The European continent is in crisis. Europe is transforming. The decrease of the young and the increase of the elderly Europeans is leading to an increase in healthcare spending, a career and financial crisis. At the same time, new migration flows are bringing new diseases and new crime. The western and eastern ones are two worlds that meet but due to the rapidity of this meeting, it risks being a clash in which Europe will be defeated by the high African demography and the economic-financial power of China. Not only is Europe changing: the whole world is changing. Let's see how and why.  Free Download Benon C. Basheka, Lukamba-Muhiya. Tshombe, "New Public Management in Africa: Emerging Issues and Lessons" English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032476664, 1498743404 | EPUB | pages: 238 | 0.5 mb The administrative sciences have been dominated by a turn to managerial perspectives in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and in the spirit of this turn, 'New Public Management' (or NPM) promises to produce efficient, responsible and client-oriented public services. The reforms carried out in the pursuit of New Public Management are often accompanied by great optimism and rapid, enthusiastic steps toward implementation. Even in highly developed industrial countries, however, these fundamental reforms often overlook the political and cultural contexts of the implementing country. New Public Management in Africa: Emerging Issues and Lessons provides much-needed theoretical foundations for NPM reforms in the African context and reflects on the success of existing reforms in the development of several African states.  Free Download New Philosophy for New Media by Mark B.N. Hansen, Timothy Lenoir English | March 1, 2004 | ISBN: 0262083213 | 373 pages | PDF | 9.67 Mb In New Philosophy for New Media, Mark Hansen defines the image in digital art in terms that go beyond the merely visual. Arguing that the "digital image" encompasses the entire process by which information is made perceivable, he places the body in a privileged position-as the agent that filters information in order to create images. By doing so, he counters prevailing notions of technological transcendence and argues for the indispensability of the human in the digital era.

Winham, "New Issues In International Crisis Management" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367011123, 0367160994 | EPUB | pages: 270 | 0.7 mb A comprehensive overview of the state of crisis management in international affairs, this book focuses primarily on the U.S.-USSR relationship. For most of the postwar period, the U.S. superiority in nuclear weapons shaped the political structure within which international crises occurred. This edge began to deteriorate by the late 1970s, leading to a new and potentially more dangerous structure within which the superpower rivalry is now conducted. Arguing that the shifting nuclear balance has created a new dimension for crisis management, the contributors analyze such issues as the informal norms of diplomatic behavior that have evolved during the extended superpower rivalry, the tendency of both superpowers to engage in activities that progressively reduce crisis stability, and various concrete measures such as risk reduction centers that might enhance the current system for crisis management. The book also includes case studies of crisis management among non-superpowers. Taken together, these papers address the important question of how human control can be maximized in situations of international crisis. |
