This volume seeks to identify and explore the forces affecting higher education in the Asia Pacific region today. It includes a set of conceptually-rich organizing chapters followed by detailed country-specific studies that detail both the underlying dynamics of these forces and the manner in which they have affected specific countries. In this way, the chapters touch on the complex demographic…
In the geophysics of oil exploration and reservoir studies, the seismic method is the most commonly used method to obtain a subsurface model. This method plays an increasingly important role in soil investigations for geotechnical, hydrogeological and site characterization studies regarding seismic hazard issues (Mari et al, 1999).
This volume contains several articles on the topic ‘Detention in non-international armed conflict’, including the Copenhagen Process, and moreover features contributions on autonomous weapons systems, Apartheid and the second Turkel Report. It also contains an elaborate Year in Review and a special section on the high-level Boundaries of the Battlefield symposium, including a conference rep…
Watershed hydrology is driven by climate forcing, near ground surface characteristics, and human activities, addressing a wide spectrum of environmental and water resource problems regarding both scientific-driven questions and practical engineering issues. This book collates watershed problems and solutions from around the world covering diverse climate types. These cases show complex interact…
This volume contains five articles describing the mission and its instruments. The first paper, by the project scientist Richard C. Elphic and his colleagues, describes the mission objectives, the launch vehicle, spacecraft and the mission itself. This is followed by a description of LADEE’s Neutral Mass Spectrometer by Paul Mahaffy and company. This paper describes the investigation that …
Standar seringkali tetap tidak terlihat, namun standar memainkan peran mendasar dalam organisasi kapitalisme kontemporer dan masyarakat pada umumnya. Bentuk kekuatan apa yang mereka wakili?. Mengapa mereka menjadi begitu menonjol?. Apakah mereka akan menjadi sama pentingnya bagi globalisasi layanan seperti halnya barang-barang manufaktur?.Jean-Christophe Graz mengacu pada ekonomi politik intern…
Protokol Irlandia-Irlandia Utara, bagian dari Perjanjian Penarikan yang disepakati antara Uni Eropa dan Inggris, dimaksudkan untuk mengatasi dampak Brexit yang sulit dan kompleks di pulau Irlandia, Utara dan Selatan, dan antara Irlandia dan Inggris Raya. Ini telah menjadi bagian yang sangat penting, jika kontroversial, dari arsitektur baru yang mengatur hubungan antara Inggris dan Uni Eropa sec…
Regulator lebih permisif untuk perangkat medis dibandingkan dengan obat dan rekan biologisnya. Meskipun produk inovatif dapat menjangkau konsumen dengan lebih cepat, pendekatan ini menimbulkan masalah kesehatan dan keselamatan masyarakat yang serius. Selain itu, sifat perangkat medis berubah dengan cepat, karena perangkat lunak menjadi sama pentingnya dengan perangkat keras. Regulasi harus meng…
The key attribute of a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) system is its ability to maintain overall system stability and acceptable performance in the face of faults and failures within the feedback system. In this book Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) Control Allocation (CA) schemes for FTC are described, which have the potential to maintain close to nominal fault-free performance (for the entire system …
he skin is the largest organ of the body and serves as a barrier between the inner and external environments. As such, any problems in the skin can have serious effects on systemic health and well-being. Several studies have established that both nutritional and dietary factors play an important role in the maintenance of normal skin integrity, and can execute a causative, preventative and/or t…
