Mechanical Properties of Polymers and Composites

By: Robert F. Landel,Lawrence E. Nielsen

This text, now in its second edition, offers an up-to-date, expanded treatment of the behaviour of polymers with regard to material variables and test and use conditions. It highlights general principles, useful empirical rules and practical equations.;Detailing the specific behaviour of many common polymers, the text: places emphasis on time and frequency dependence over temperature dependence; uses contemporary molecular mechanisms to explain creep, stress relaxation, constant strain rate responses and crazing; provides explicit equations to predict responses; supplies a discussion of large deformation multiaxial responses; compares statistical and continuum theories on the same data set; and updates stress-strain behaviour and particulate filled systems.

District Family Surnames of Scotland

A Companion Book to Scottish Clans and Their Associated Families

By: Robert J Heston

Over the past 25 years that I have been associated with Scottish heritage events I’ve witnessed a great deal of effort being expended on refining and defining everything associated with Scottish Clans. However, with a couple of exceptions, little effort seems to have gone into giving the same amount of focus to the identification of surnames associated with Scotland who are not linked to a clan. This has been a problem for those of us who are attempting to help every visitor attending these events find their Scottish connection. Until now there has been little detailed, quality reference materials to adequately help us. A necessary distinction to remember and share is the fact that there is a misperception that Scotland’s people are centered strictly around the clan structure. Clans represent less than one third of all the people of Scotland. The non-clan families are city dwellers. They’ve not declared fealty to a clan chief, but provide goods, services, and labor in the regions in which they reside. The information collected on this portion of Scotland’s people comes from various publicly available sources such as Scottish government, regional administration, church (birth, marriage, death), and transportation (deportation) records. Regarding the latter source, there were no restrictions on the transportation of the subjects of England (English, Irish, Scots, Welsh) to the Americas, Caribbean, and Australia. Information extracted from these transportation records focused only on those transported prisoners specifically identified as Scottish. Prisoner transportation records to the Americas spanned the period 1600-1776 while those sent to Australia spanned the period 1776-1830.

Party Personnel Strategies

Electoral Systems and Parliamentary Committee Assignments

By: Matthew Soberg Shugart,Matthew E. Bergman,Cory L. Struthers,Ellis S. Krauss,Robert Pekkanen

Key party goals serve to advance a policy brand and maximize seats in the legislature. This book offers a theory of how political parties assign their elected members -- their personnel -- to specialized legislative committees to serve collective organizational goals, here known as party personnel strategies. Individual party members vary in their personal attributes, such as prior occupation, gender, and local experience. Parties seek to harness the attributes of their members by assigning them to committees where their expertise is relevant, and where they may enhance the party's policy brand. However, under some electoral systems, parties may need to trade-off the harnessing of expertise against the pursuit of seats, instead matching legislators according to electoral situation (e.g. marginality of seat) or characteristics of their constituency (e.g. population density). This book offers an analysis of the extent to which parties trade these goals by matching the attributes of their personnel and their electoral needs to the functions of the available committee seats. The analysis is based on a dataset of around six thousand legislators across thirty-eight elections in six established parliamentary democracies with diverse electoral systems.

Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision

A Practical, Evidence-Based Approach

By: Derek L. Milne,Robert P. Reiser

RESOLVING CRITICAL ISSUES IN CLINICAL SUPERVISION Address key challenges in clinical supervision with this comprehensive account of common critical issues faced by almost all practitioners Clinical supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical practice across the health and social professions. It can directly impact patient outcomes, shape clinical careers, and generally enhance professional development more broadly. The relationship between a clinical supervisor and their supervisees is therefore a hugely important one, embedded within challenging health and social care settings, which produces unique and complex challenges, but for which little formal guidance exists. Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision answers the need for guidance of this kind with a practical, accessible discussion of major challenges and their possible solutions, drawing on the best available evidence from research, expert consensus, and relevant theory. It provides dedicated advice for supervisors and supervisees, alongside suggestions for the clinical service managers and associated others who aim to resolve the most common critical issues. The result is an extensively researched and wide-ranging guide which promises to make sense of the main challenges, describe the best-available coping strategies, and thereby strengthen career-long clinical supervision. Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision readers will also find: Authors with decades of directly relevant clinical, research, and teaching experience Dedicated treatment of the most common critical issues, such as unethical supervisory practices, ineffective treatment, and the role of organizational structure in undermining clinical supervision An evidence-based approach that provides practical guidelines of relevance to many health and social care professions. Resolving Critical Issues in Clinical Supervision is a valuable guide for both clinicians and service leaders looking to establish and maintain best practices in clinical supervision.

Introduction to Comparative Politics

The State and its Challenges

By: Robert Hislope,Anthony Mughan

This stimulating and accessible introduction to comparative politics offers a fresh perspective on the fundamentals of political science. Its central theme is the enduring political significance of the modern state despite severe challenges to its sovereignty. There are three main sections to the book. The first traces the origins and meaning of the state and proceeds to explore its relationship to the practice of politics. The second examines how states are governed and compares patterns of governance found in the two major regime types in the world today, democracy and authoritarianism. The last section discusses several contemporary challenges - globalization, ethnic nationalism, terrorism and organized crime - to state sovereignty. Designed to appeal to students and professors alike, this lively text engages readers as it traces states' struggles against the mutually reinforcing pressures of global economic and political interdependence, fragmented identities and secessionism, transnational criminal networks, and terrorism.

Native States of Literary Sovereignty

By: Gerald Robert Vizenor

With wry humor and imaginative acuity, noted writer Gerald Vizenor offers compelling glimpses of modern Native American life and the different ways that Native Americans and whites interact, fight, and resolve their conflicts. The elusive borderland between white and Native American cultures is further complicated by exchanges of money, services, language, and skills that make up what Vizenor calls the ?new fur trade.? When Native Americans resist dominance, they fight back incisively and creatively with humor in the strategic word wars of survivance over victimry. ø Vizenor illuminates the troubling encounters and distant reaches of this modernist fur trade through his creative narratives. Especially memorable is the reincarnation of General George Custer as the head of Native American programs and the mystifying play of words between charity agencies and Native Americans. Several of Vizenor?s stories focus on a so-called urban reservation, Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. In the last section Vizenor recalls his experiences and observations while reporting on the murder trial of a young Native American student, Thomas White Hawk, in South Dakota.
