The Consent Theory of Political Obligation

By: Harry Beran

First published in 1987. The theory that political obligation and authority are derived from the consent of citizens is commonly accepted in the history of Western political thought. It is expressed in the famous assertion of the American Declaration of Independence that governments derive ‘their just powers from the consent of the governed’ and in the constitutions of some Western powers. This book provides the first systematic and comprehensive restatement and defence of consent theory since the 19th Century. It distinguishes consent from contract theory, examines what the actual consent of citizens can consist in and what place it must have in liberal democratic theory. The consent theory’s relationship with ethics is explored and the major objections to the theory are countered. The author points to some political reforms which would increase the proportion of citizens in liberal democracies whose consent places them under political obligation. The book provides an overview of the current state of the consent theory of political obligation and authority.

Vibrational Spectroscopy with Neutrons

With Applications in Chemistry, Biology, Materials Science and Catalysis

By: Philip Charles Harry Mitchell

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is a spectroscopic technique in which neutrons are used to probe the dynamics of atoms and molecules in solids and liquids. This book is the first, since the late 1960s, to cover the principles and applications of INS as a vibrational-spectroscopic technique. It provides a hands-on account of the use of INS, concentrating on how neutron vibrational spectroscopy can be employed to obtain chemical information on a range of materials that are of interest to chemists, biologists, materials scientists, surface scientists and catalyst researchers. This is an accessible and comprehensive single-volume primary text and reference source.

Psychiatric Comorbidity in Epilepsy

Basic Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

By: Harry McConnell

Epilepsy affects 40 million people worldwide. With appropriate treatment most can become seizure free. For a minority of patients who also suffer from psychiatric comorbidity, however, diagnosis and management may be complicated by uncontrolled seizures, associated stigma or by the treatment of the epilepsy itself. Written by the world's foremost authorities on the neuropsychiatric manifestations of epilepsy, Psychiatric Comorbidity in Epilepsy is a comprehensive clinical, research, and treatment text for health care professionals -- including psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuropsychologists -- who treat patients with epilepsy and comorbid psychiatric problems. Based on a thorough knowledge of contemporary neuroscience, this book addresses the critical psychosocial and psychiatric issues that can affect patient care, including depression, psychosis, nonepileptic seizure-like events, antiepileptic drug toxicity, and family issues. This book also examines the possible links between the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric illness and the neurobiology of seizures, providing insight into brain behavior relations.

This publication is one of many projects that the Democratic Education Network (DEN) has been responsible for since its launch in 2016, within the department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster. In addition to supporting various other initiatives, DEN encourages and inspires students to research, get involved in student-led workshops, and publish magazines and journals. It hopes to increase our knowledge about how to open up deliberative and empowering spaces for students, and how to maximise the impact of their projects on other students’ experience. This book is a result of eclectic ideas and hard work put in by many students, and covers the views of student authors on various economic, political and social crises that shape our world today. We hope that we have taken an important step in achieving the aims of DEN through encouraging students to believe in themselves and push the boundaries of imagination and possibility. “Education should not only be about knowledge gathering, skills enhancement and degree acquisition, but be a transformative life experience. If students go away with more condence, more humility, and better equipped to deal with the various challenges and opportunities that the world around them oers, we would have succeeded as educationists.” Prof. Dibyesh Anand Head of the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster “This book is produced by some of the students active in the ‘Democratic Education Network’. It is essentially a collective work of the former and present students in the department to learn and explore their own world independently.” Dr. Farhang Morady Academic Coordinator of DEN, University of Westminster

Hyperbaric Medicine Practice, 4th Edition

By: Dr. Harry T. Whelan

A textbook may sometimes gain the unusual trait of longevity beyond all other books - it can be revised and remain a primary source of information for generations of students. Hyperbaric Medicine Practice seems destined to become such a book. This 4th edition, edited by Harry T. Whelan, pays tribute to its original author, Dr. Kindwall, who died in 2012. It also adds new information of interest to all in the field of diving and clinical hyperbaric medicine. Most chapters have been written or revised by new authors, but many have returned to update their chapters. New chapters include indications for hyperbaric oxygen treatment subjects recently approved for treatment such as idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and central retinal vein occlusion. There are also chapters on submarine rescue and problems that pertain to technical and rebreather diving. This book will be an important addition to the library of physicians in clinical hyperbaric medicine and those involved with divers—recreational, commercial, and military—as well as other professionals who care for them. - comments by Henry J.C. Schwartz, MD, FACP New Information and Updates in the Fourth Edition Indications for the Use of HBO2 - Completely re-written chapters on basis for HBO2 therapy of Radiation Necrosis and Burns - New clinical trial data for traumatic brain injuries - Tabulation of almost all published cases of hyperbaric oxygen used for refractory osteomyelitis and the new CPT codes needed for reimbursements - Updates on the multiplace hyperbaric chamber with monitoring and provisions for critical care and carbon monoxide emergency - A new complete description of the multiplace hyperbaric chamber as a medical device - Improved illustrations and better clarification for the use of hyperbaric oxygen for crush injuries - Totally new chapter on the role of hyperbaric oxygen for fracture management - Complications and Contraindications for the Use of HBO2 - Completely re-written chapter on the contraindications and relative risks, and the management recommendations - Completely re-written chapter on complications and the management recommendations - Updated details on use of medications and indications for myringotomy The Science of HBO2 - Additional basic science and clinical data regarding HBO2 management of infectious diseases - Completely re-written chapter on basis for HBO2 therapy of Infectious Diseases - Updates on mechanism of action of HBO2 and preconditioning - Added human and animal literature section utilizing hyperbaric oxygen for brown recluse spider bite - Re-written evidence-based recommendations for use of hyperbaric oxygen for brown recluse spider bite - New innovative research developed in Brazil when the first lines of hyperbaric medicine therapy history in South America were written. - Introduces challenging questions to readers including: Should we try HBO2 for Hansen’s disease in present day? Is there any better way to increase oxygen toxicity against Mycobacterium leprae than methylene blue? - All new hyperbaric oxygen mechanism chapter complimented by exceptionally well-illustrated figures - New approach to appreciating the mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen with primary effects that occur immediately and secondary effects that are long standing and generally require repetitive treatments - In-depth discussion about the physiological, cellular and molecular response to exogenous ketone supplementation and ketogenic diet - New section on pharmacokinetic disposition of drugs in HBO2 New section on antibiotic interactions Updated literature on pharmacodynamics interactions Fully updated discussion on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in pediatrics including risks and benefits, practical considerations, indications and controversies and oxygen administration schedules Discussion of latest information on pediatric disease indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and current controversies Updated recommendations for pediatric psychological preparation and sedation

Eastern Curlew

Eastern Curlew

By: Harry Sadler

Every year around August, large flocks of Eastern Curlews leave their breeding grounds in the Arctic and embark on a perilous 10,000km journey to the coast of Australia. The birds cannot swim; if they become exhausted and fall into the ocean, they die. But it’s a journey they have taken for tens of thousands of years, tracing invisible flyways in the sky in what is one of the most spectacular mass migrations in the animal kingdom. Following the Eastern Curlew along its migratory path, award-winning nature writer Harry Saddler explores how these incredible birds have impressed themselves on the cultures of the countries they fly through, the threat to their survival posed by development, and the remarkable ways these birds and humankind may be entwined. The Eastern Curlew is a delightful and vivid portrait of a fascinating natural phenomenon.

Periodically Correlated Random Sequences

Spectral Theory and Practice

By: Harry L. Hurd,Abolghassem Miamee

Uniquely combining theory, application, and computing, this bookexplores the spectral approach to time series analysis The use of periodically correlated (or cyclostationary)processes has become increasingly popular in a range of researchareas such as meteorology, climate, communications, economics, andmachine diagnostics. Periodically Correlated Random Sequencespresents the main ideas of these processes through the use of basicdefinitions along with motivating, insightful, and illustrativeexamples. Extensive coverage of key concepts is provided, includingsecond-order theory, Hilbert spaces, Fourier theory, and thespectral theory of harmonizable sequences. The authors also providea paradigm for nonparametric time series analysis including testsfor the presence of PC structures. Features of the book include: * An emphasis on the link between the spectral theory of unitaryoperators and the correlation structure of PC sequences * A discussion of the issues relating to nonparametric time seriesanalysis for PC sequences, including estimation of the mean,correlation, and spectrum * A balanced blend of historical background with modernapplication-specific references to periodically correlatedprocesses * An accompanying Web site that features additional exercises aswell as data sets and programs written in MATLAB® forperforming time series analysis on data that may have a PCstructure Periodically Correlated Random Sequences is an ideal text ontime series analysis for graduate-level statistics and engineeringstudents who have previous experience in second-order stochasticprocesses (Hilbert space), vector spaces, random processes, andprobability. This book also serves as a valuable reference forresearch statisticians and practitioners in areas of probabilityand statistics such as time series analysis, stochastic processes,and prediction theory.
