Aligning Roles and Missions for Future Multidomain Warfare

Aligning Roles and Missions for Future Multidomain Warfare

Sean M Zeigler; Sarah Harting; Sebastian Joon Bae; Julia Brackup; Alan J Vick

RAND
2021
nidottu
The authors identified disputes among roles, missions, and functions (RMF) that have endured as problems for the U.S. Air Force, factors associated with major RMF changes, and reasons why reform efforts failed. In crafting a framework for analyzing the RMF implications of strategic-level guidance and emerging operational concepts, the authors considered how future leadership choices will influence relative attractiveness of RMF courses of action.

Articular Cartilage Dynamics

Articular Cartilage Dynamics

David W. Smith; Bruce S. Gardiner; Lihai Zhang; Alan J. Grodzinsky

Springer Verlag, Singapore
2018
sidottu
This book explains the anatomy and physiology of cartilage tissue in an integrated way. The emphasis is on how cartilage tissue functions and maintains homeostasis in a challenging mechanical environment. Supported by hundreds of references, the book posts new hypotheses explaining how cartilage adapts and achieves homeostasis in vivo, and tests them against available data. This exploratory approach creates a sense of discovery that the reader can join, or perhaps test themselves through their own research. The main benefit will be obtained by research students and professors looking to understand the deeper concepts that will further their own research, or clinicians (including health professionals and surgeons) who want to gain a deeper physiological understanding of cartilage tissue, which can then serve as a basis for more rational clinical decision-making they need to make on a daily basis. To help bridge the gap between basic science and clinically relevant joint disease, applications and interpretations of key physiological concepts are discussed in the context of osteoarthritis at the end of most chapters.

Chichester in the 1960s

Chichester in the 1960s

Alan H.J. Green

The History Press Ltd
2015
nidottu
Chichester is the archetypal Georgian town, with streets of elegant buildings gathered closely around the ancient cathedral. It usually appears to today’s first-time visitor that the city has been largely untouched by the hand of time – particularly the destructive hand that guided the 1960s. However, this is not the case: in the 1960s, Chichester faced the same challenges as all historic towns, and much was lost – but the brakes were applied in good time and it became one of the first conservation areas in the country. This book, the first of its kind, looks at how Chichester fared in that turbulent decade, how it gained its status as a city of culture with a new theatre and museum, and how it expanded to meet the demands of its growing populace. Historical research blends with personal anecdote to produce a heartfelt portrait of the decade.

St John's Chapel and the New Town, Chichester

St John's Chapel and the New Town, Chichester

Alan H.J. Green

Phillimore Co Ltd
2008
sidottu
St John's Chapel, in Chichester, is a rare survivor … a Georgian proprietary chapel which has largely escaped the attentions of modernisers. By the noted architect James Elmes, it is listed Grade I and, no ordinary place of worship, it was built and run as a commercial venture. Although firmly part of the Church of England, it had no parish to fund it and its trustees had to pay dividends to the shareholders as well as the minister’s salary. Investors included John Marsh, that most prolific Georgian composer, who was also chapel warden until his death. Keeping the ‘business’ afloat up to its closure in 1973 proved to be a constant struggle, as this very entertaining new narrative account reveals. The Black Friars’ Friary had occupied an important site in the south-east of the city which became the grounds of a large mansion house. In the early 19th century it came into the possession of Major General John Gustavus Crosbie, who also owned much land to the south of Chichester and was a promoter of the Chichester Canal. In 1808 he put up the entire Black Friars site for sale by auction, intending to create a New Town of grand houses for the professional classes. To this end he put restrictive covenants in the deeds, forbidding ‘unpleasant trades’. The New Town provided the ideal site for St John’s and many invested in both projects. Now, Alan Green has provided the first account of the history of this part of Chichester. His important new book is detailed, comprehensive and impeccably researched. He tells the entire story of the New Town and of St John’s; including architecture, construction, intrigues, personalities and the trustees’ perpetual battle to keep the chapel open. He explores and explains not only the people who came to live there but also the various businesses, including the Corn Exchange, which, despite Crosbie’s covenants, managed to become established in Newtown.

The Building of Georgian Chichester

The Building of Georgian Chichester

Alan H.J. Green

Phillimore Co Ltd
2007
sidottu
There are many towns and cities within Great Britain described in the guide books as being 'Georgian', but most of these places have, in fact, much more ancient roots and owe their present character to the extensive development that took place between the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the end of the Georgian era in 1830. Chichester is an archetypal example of such a city, and one whose buildings have merited entries in most books on Georgian architecture. However, whilst Chichester has been well covered by historians, their books tend to focus on social, political and economic issues; hence this book which concentrates on the architectural history of its Georgian era and the materials, builders and architects involved. Georgian engravings have been used to illustrate the book as have the observations of two great Chichester diarists James Spershott and John Marsh, whose writings add some contemporary spice to the text.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Canadian Society

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Canadian Society

Alan F.J. Artibise

McGill-Queen's University Press
1990
nidottu
Far more than a bibliographic account of the major works in Canadian Studies, Interdisciplinary Approaches to Canadian Society provides a broad examination of the state of this growing field of study. Each chapter stresses the importance of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches which have come to characterize Canadian Studies. Also, in an unprecedented collaborative effort, almost all the chapters are jointly authored by anglophone and francophone scholars. The works on Quebec and the francophone community respect the distinct nature of this facet of Canada. As stated in the introduction, this work is "a primer in the field and a guide to further pursuits. Its users will welcome it as a friendly introduction to an exciting country."
