Crafting Innovative Places for Australia’s Knowledge Economy

Palgrave Macmillan, 2019

This book integrates planning, policy, economics, and urban design into an approach to crafting innovative places. Exploring new paradigms of innovative places under the framework of globalisation, urbanisation, and new technology, it argues against state-centric policies to innovation and focuses on how a globalized approach can shape...

Queer Embodiment: Monstrosity, Medical Violence, and Intersex Experience (Expanding Frontiers: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality)

University of Nebraska Press, 2019

Merging critical theory, autobiography, and sexological archival research, Queer Embodiment provides insight into what it means, and has meant, to have a legible body in the West. Hilary Malatino explores how and why intersexuality became an anomalous embodiment requiring correction and how contesting this pathologization...

Numerical Methods of Mathematics Implemented in Fortran (Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics)

Springer, 2019

This book systematically classifies the mathematical formalisms of computational models that are required for solving problems in mathematics, engineering and various other disciplines. It also provides numerical methods for solving these problems using suitable algorithms and for writing computer codes to find solutions. For discrete...

Grounded Nationalisms: A Sociological Analysis

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Globalisation is not the enemy of nationalism; instead, as this book shows, the two forces have developed together through modern history. Maleševi? challenges dominant views which see nationalism as a declining social force.

Seeing Race Again: Countering Colorblindness across the Disciplines

University of California Press, 2019

Every academic discipline has an origin story complicit with white supremacy. Racial hierarchy and colonialism structured the very foundations of most disciplines’ research and teaching paradigms. In the early twentieth century, the academy faced rising opposition and correction, evident in the intervention of scholars including W. E....

Crowd Behavior Simulation of Pedestrians During Evacuation Process: DEM-Based Approach (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)

Springer, 2018

This book introduces the use of the distinct element method (DEM) in modeling crowd behavior and simulating evacuation processes. Focusing on the mathematical computation of the uncertain behavior of evacuees, which is switching action behavior, it subsequently reproduces the crowd evacuation process under several conjectural...

Design Guide for Concrete-filled Double Skin Steel Tubular Structures

CRC Press, 2018

The concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) structure is a new type of steel-concrete composite structure. It inherits the advantages of conventional concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures, including high strength, good ductility and durability, high fire resistance and favorable constructability....

Sensing of Non-Volatile Memory Demystified

Springer, 2018

Research, development, and commercialization of emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) are being aggressively pursued by the design community to supplement and/or substitute conventional volatile and NV memory technologies that are facing stiff scalability challenges. The emerging NVMs such as Magnetic RAM (MRAM),...

The Art and Science of Seismic Interpretation (SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences)

Springer, 2019

Seismic data is one of the fundamental tools used to interpret subsurface geology with application to understanding of earth processes, tectonic evolution, and energy exploration in particular. This book is written for technical specialists who are new to seismic geophysics. It introduces the seismic data set including how the data...

Agriculture for Improved Nutrition: Seizing the Momentum

CABI Publishing, 2019

About 800 million people suffer from hunger, 2 billion from lack of micronutrients, and more than 2 billion from overweight and obesity. There is renewed interest in reshaping agricultural and food systems, at the global, regional and national levels, so that poor and vulnerable people have access to and are able to consume nutritious...

Surface Properties of Non-conventional Cellulose Fibres (SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science)

Springer, 2019

The authors describe how sustainable textile fibers from crops such as quinoa, grass, hops, corn and wheat stems, etc. have recently begun to generate great interest. The structure-property relationships of such non-conventional cellulose fibers are studied in this brief, as are their sorption and surface properties which are of primary...

Ransomware Revolution: The Rise of a Prodigious Cyber Threat (Advances in Information Security, 85)

Springer, 2021

This book explores the genesis of ransomware and how the parallel emergence of encryption technologies has elevated ransomware to become the most prodigious cyber threat that enterprises are confronting. It also investigates the driving forces behind what has been dubbed the ‘ransomware revolution’ after a series of major...
