Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro, "Socialist States and the Environment: Lessons for Eco-Socialist Futures"
English | ISBN: 0745340407 | 2021 | 288 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
More than thirty years after the collapse of the USSR, the critique of state socialism is still used to deny alternatives to capitalism, irrespective of global capitalist ecological and social devastation. There is seemingly nothing worthwhile salvaging from decades of state socialist experiences.

Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media edited by Johnny Walker, Neil Jackson, Shaun Kimber, Thomas Joseph Watson
English | January 28, 2016 | ISBN: 1628921145, 1628921129 | True EPUB | 344 pages | 3.3 MB
The phenomenon of so-called 'snuff movies' (films that allegedly document real acts of murder, specifically designed to 'entertain' and sexually arouse the spectator) represents a fascinating socio-cultural paradox. At once unproven, yet accepted by many, as emblematic of the very worst extremes of pornography and horror, moral detractors have argued that the mere idea of snuff constitutes the logical (and terminal) extension of generic forms that are dependent primarily upon the excitement, stimulation and, ultimately, corruption of the senses.

Slavery and emancipation in Islamic East Africa: from honor to respectability By Elisabeth McMahon
2013 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 1107025826 | PDF | 5 MB
Examining the process of abolition on the island of Pemba off the East African coast in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book demonstrates the links between emancipation and the redefinition of honour among all classes of people on the island. By examining the social vulnerability of ex-slaves and the former slave-owning elite caused by the abolition order of 1897, this study argues that moments of resistance on Pemba reflected an effort to mitigate vulnerability rather than resist the hegemonic power of elites or the colonial state. As the meaning of the Swahili word heshima shifted from honour to respectability, individuals' reputations came under scrutiny and the Islamic kadhi and colonial courts became an integral location for interrogating reputations in the community. This study illustrates the ways in which former slaves used piety, reputation, gossip, education, kinship and witchcraft to negotiate the gap between emancipation and local notions of belonging.* This is the first monograph on Pemba Island to be published in 99 years* Has rich detail in stories of many ex-slaves that have not been written about before* The last chapter examines a form of witchcraft that differs from most of the forms found in mainland Africa

Single-Arm Phase II Survival Trial Design
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367653451 | 274 Pages | PDF (True) | 3.35 MB
Single-Arm Phase II Survival Trial Design provides a comprehensive summary to the most commonly- used methods for single-arm phase II trial design with time-to-event endpoints. Single-arm phase II trials are a key component for successfully developing advanced cancer drugs and treatments, particular for target therapy and immunotherapy in which time-to-event endpoints are often the primary endpoints. Most test statistics for single-arm phase II trial design with time-to-event endpoints are not available in commercial software.

Silanes and Other Coupling Agents, Volume 5 By Kash L. Mittal
2009 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 9004165916 | PDF | 9 MB
The topic of silanes and other coupling agents/adhesion promoters is of tremendous contemporary interest because of their application in many and varied technologically important areas ranging from coatings to reinforced composites to dentistry to biomedical (e.g., for bonding nucleotides to the so-called ‘gene chips’). In addition to their traditional use for bonding different materials, silanes have been shown to be highly effective in corrosion protection of metallic materials. This book is divided into three parts as follows: Part 1: Silane Coupling Agents/Adhesion Promoters; Part 2: Silanes for Corrosion Inhibition/Protection; Parts 3: General papers. The topics covered include: various ways to deposit silanes and factors affecting silane deposition and silane deposit characteristics; structure of silane deposits; silane deposition on glass and other surfaces; hydrophobic silane films; water absorption and transport in silane films; application of silanes in fiber-reinforced composites for dental use in cathodic delamination of elastomer-metal adhesive joints, and to impart anti-mold and anti fungal characteristics to wood; use of silanes in providing corrosion protection to metallic materials and in enhancing corrosion performance of coatings; plasma polymer coatings in corrosion protection of metallic materials; chromata-free silane-containing primer technology; silane coupling agents for surface-initiated living polymerization; nanosols to improve functional properties of fabrics; photocatalytic titania for textile application; solid-state NMR studies of surface treatments; surface free energy of silicon-based plasma polymer films. In essence this book reflects the latest R&D activity in this arena and should be of interest and value to anyone with a desire or need to learn about this fascinating and technologically highly significant class of materials.
