Free Download New Physical Trends in Experimental Mechanics by J. T. Pindera
English | PDF | 1981 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 3211816305 | 21.4 MB
Composite materials have been used as structural materials almost since the beginning of recorded civilization. Examples from the mud bricks with straw used by the early Inca and Egyptian societies to the concrete and plywood used by modern societies are well known to all. However, the purpose here is to discuss a new breed of resin matrix composite materials. The two types which will be considered herein are continuous fiber graphite/epoxy (G/E) resin laminated composites, often referred to as advanced composite materials, and a chopped fiberglass/ polyester resin composite, often referred to as sheet molding compound (SHe).

This book provides fresh perspectives on the state of policy practice. Leading scholars explore such vital conceptual topics such as how to impact social justice, what the strengths-based perspective means to policy practitioners and how to bridge the all-too common gap between community organizing and direct practice in social work. Other esteemed academics address topics including how to use technology to impact social justice, what the impacts of the recent changes in the United States' Supreme Court will be, how to conceptualize the impact of ex-prisoners' re-entry into society and how to better include marginalized populations in the policy practice. The volume closes with two pieces relating to students: using service learning to increase knowledge of macro interventions and integrating social capital analysis into policy practice. Each topic is thoroughly covered by experts, using the latest scholarly material available. The reader will come away with a new perspective on the many areas where social work is involved, needed and effective in making positive change in the world.

Free Download Emma Hill, "Navigating the (Post)Colonial Pathways of Somali Migration to Scotland: Between the Edges of Empire "
English | ISBN: 303174196X | 2024 | 233 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
What happens when migration takes place between sites defined by different types of 'colonial difference'? This book asks this question in the context of Somali migration to Scotland, which it maps over a century of colonial relations, independence movements, and the reorganisation of the (post)colonial Somali and British states. Framing both Somalia and Scotland as sites of marginality in the matrices of colonial power, it tracks through a combination of archival material and contemporary testimonies the operation, development and divergence of (the) colonial(ity of) power in shaping Somali migration and citizenship experiences in Scotland. However, whilst the book has a grounded and localised focus, it makes the argument that Somali-Scottish migration cases present the urgent need for a holistic approach to the operation of coloniality, which not only emanates from the so-called 'centre' of Empire, but also at and between its edges.
