Tropical Forage Legumes

Harnessing the Potential of Desmanthus and other Genera for Heavy Clay Soils

By: John R Lazier,Nazeer Ahmad

The development of legume use in agricultural production in the tropics lags far behind the temperate areas and extensive research over recent decades has aimed to rectify the lack of available leguminous fodder species available for heavy clay soils. This book draws together that research and explores the importance of heavy clay soils to agricultural productivity in the tropics and subtropics and the identification of adapted, productive forage legumes for these environments. Providing an invaluable example of how a global search for adapted and productive forage germplasm has been - and can be - undertaken, and allowing access to a significant body of knowledge that was acquired before the digitalization of reports, this book will be a key resource for new scientists and experienced researchers in the areas of agriculture and forage agronomy.

Helping America's Homeless

Emergency Shelter Or Affordable Housing?

By: Martha R. Burt

Longtime Urban Institute researcher Martha Burt and her co-authors provide an in-depth analysis of homelessness, exploring issues such as how many homeless people there are in America, where they are, why they became homeless, how long their homelessness lasts, the different ways programs in different communities are helping the homeless, and how policymakers have approached the problem. Finally, they consider what societies may be willing to do reduce the probability that their members will become homeless. c. Book News Inc.

Cardiac Muscle

By: E.D. Canale,Gordon R Campbell,J.J. Smolich

In the ever-expanding field of heart research the needs of established re searchers, students and general readers can vary considerably, making it difficult therefore to cater for all types of audience within a single volume. The aim of this book has been to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the structure of the heart, including its cell biology. The ultrastructure of the working myocardium and all portions of the conduction system, together with their development, is covered in detail. Also included are chapters on the morphometry of cardiac muscle, the innervation of the heart, cardiac hyper trophy and regeneration, and the development of the coronary circulation. A detailed review of cardiac muscle in cell culture is also provided. It is to be hoped that readers, whatever their background, will find the information contained herein useful for their needs. This work was supported by a grant from the National Heart Foundation of Australia. The authors wish to gratefully acknowledge the following people for their invaluable assistance in preparation of the manuscript: Professor Yasuo Uehara, D'r. Takashi· Fujiwara, Dr. Peter Baluk, Dr. Seiji Matsuda and Bill Kaegi for providing unpublished micrographs; Fabian Bowers, Patricia Murphy and Janet Bennett for typing; and Lucy Popadynec, Nella Puglisi, Maggie Mackie, Mary Delafield and Liana Butera for assistance with references and figure preparation.

Strategies for Improving Homeless People's Access to Mainstream Benefits and Services

By: Martha R. Burt

In 2000, HUD, in recognition that any solution to homelessness must emphasize housing, targeted its McKinney-Vento Act homeless competitive programs towards housing activities. This policy decision presumed that programs such as Medicaid, TANF and General Assistance could pick up the slack produced by the change. This study examines how 7 communities sought to improve homeless people¿s access to mainstream services following this shift away from funding services through the Supportive Housing Program. Provides communities with models and strategies that they can use. Highlights the limits of what even the most resourceful of communities can do to enhance service and benefit access by homeless families and individuals.

Global Dynamics of the Earth

Applications of Normal Mode Relaxation Theory to Solid-Earth Geophysics

By: R. Sabadini,Bert Vermeersen

This volume opens up new perspectives on the physics of the Earth's interior for graduate students and researchers working in the fields of geophysics and geodesy. It looks at our planet in an integrated fashion, linking the physics of its interior to the geophysical and geodetic techniques that record, over a broad spectrum of spatial wavelengths, the ongoing modifications in the shape and gravity field of the planet. Basic issues related to the rheological properties of the Earth's mantle and to its slow deformation will be understood, in both mathematical and physical terms, within the framework of an analytical normal mode relaxation theory. Fundamentals of this theory are developed in the first, tutorial part. The second part deals with a wide range of applications, ranging from changes in the Earth's rotation to post-seismic deformation and sea-level variations induced by post-glacial rebound. In the study of the physics of the Earth's interior, the book bridges the gap between seismology and geodynamics.

The Behavior of Sandwich Structures of Isotropic and Composite Materials

By: Jack R. Vinson

The Behavior of Sandwich Structures of Isotropic and Composite Materials presents the mathematics, descriptions, and analytical techniques in the growing field of sandwich structures. From a background in sandwich structures to thermoelastic problems of sandwich structures and sandwich shell theory, the book provides the knowledge needed to analyze, design, and optimize various sandwich structures. As one would expect from a book on sandwich structures, this volume discusses special failure modes such as face wrinkling and core shear instability. Coverage includes not only honeycomb cores, but also foam, web, and truss cores. An important topic in composite structure design, optimization is explored in two chapters on sandwich plates and sandwich shells. The author presents the optimization techniques in closed form and the methods are applicable to material selection and geometric design. The book also contains a set of problems and references at the end of each chapter. This text is ideal for engineers-in-training, as well as practical engineers who desire a comprehensive understanding of sandwich structures technology.

Linear Algebra

A Problem-Centered Approach

By: R¢bert Freud

This textbook invites readers to dive into the mathematical ideas of linear algebra. Offering a gradual yet rigorous introduction, the author illuminates the structure, order, symmetry, and beauty of the topic. Opportunities to explore, master, and extend the theory abound, with generous exercise sets embodying the Hungarian tradition of active problem-solving. Determinants, matrices, and systems of linear equations begin the book. This unique ordering offers insights from determinants early on, while also admitting re-ordering if desired. Chapters on vector spaces, linear maps, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors follow. Bilinear functions and Euclidean spaces build on the foundations laid in the first half of the book to round out the core material. Applications in combinatorics include Hilbert?s third problem, Oddtown and Eventown problems, and Sidon sets, a favorite of Paul Erd?s. Coding theory applications include error-correction, linear, Hamming, and BCH codes. An appendix covers the algebraic basics used in the text. Ideal for students majoring in mathematics and computer science, this textbook promotes a deep and versatile understanding of linear algebra. Familiarity with mathematical proof is assumed, though no prior knowledge of linear algebra is needed. Supplementary electronic materials support teaching and learning, with selected answers, hints, and solutions, and an additional problem bank for instructors.
