Growth, Decline, and Regeneration in Large Cities sheds light on why some cities prosper, others implode, and still others are able to reverse their downward trajectories. The book focuses on four major case studies of American metropolitan areas: Detroit, Boston, Minneapolis, and Austin.

Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care

Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care

Jeffrey C. Bauer; ummer Steven B.

CRC Press Inc
2014
sidottu
The Paradox: Americans are not as healthy as people in dozens of comparable countries that spend 30 percent less on health care, and our medical marketplace overall is plagued by persistent problems of cost, quality, and access. Yet, the world’s best individual health systems are located in the U.S.—each a unique result of visionary leadership and private initiative, not government-driven health reform.The Imperatives: Due to powerful new forces explained in this book, medical spending has stopped growing. Purchasers, payers, and patients are no longer willing or able to keep paying more. To stay in business and improve population health, providers and their business partners must eliminate the shameful waste generated by inefficient and ineffective production processes.The Solution: Simply repairing or repealing the Affordable Care Act will not get us where we want to go. The fundamental roadblock is a wasteful system, not uninsured Americans. Reform needs to be immediately redirected to creating the best health care system that 17 percent of GDP can buy. Money saved by taking the new path to reform can then be used to improve population health through access for all. Paradox and Imperatives in Health Care is the roadmap for getting there. Supplies updated perspectives on health care’s problems and solutionsDetails the reasons why government-driven reform does not solve problemsProvides a justification for regulatory relief tied to performance improvementSuggests specific new policies for a better approach to desired outcomesPresents content written expressly for busy executives and policy makers

SUPERCONDUCTING ELEMENTS FROM BEYOND OUR SPACE-TIME. DARK ENERGY AND EARTH'S MOST POWERFUL MACHINE. THE YUCATAN'S GODFORSAKEN FORBIDDEN ZONE. THE DISCOVERY THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THE MULTIVERSE. In 2019, ASTRA Satellites reveal a mysterious anomaly threatening the world's most secret and powerful machine embedded deep in the Yucatan's Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. To assess the situation, Admiral Stanchion, director of ASTRA, activates his most lethal team of military operatives: Captain Abel "Stein" Keller, Lunchbox, Carlos, Liz and Sneed. Trapped within nearly impenetrable jungle in the "Forbidden Zone" of the Central Yucatan, the team makes an astounding discovery that undermines current thinking about Mayan history as well as our place in the cosmos. Worse, they find that a holy hell of ancient evil is about to be unleashed upon humanity, unless they can stop it in time. As the action spans half the globe and puts the team to the ultimate tests, Liz and Stein discover the biggest secret of the multiverse, and the true meaning of the "Island of Stability".

China's Bitter Victory

China's Bitter Victory

James C. Hsiung; Steven I. Levine

M.E. Sharpe
1992
nidottu
"China's Bitter Victory" is a comprehensive analysis of China's epochal war with Japan. Striving for a holistic understanding of China's wartime experience, the contributors examine developments in the Nationalist, communist, and Japanese-occupied areas of the country. More than just a history of battles and conferences, the book portrays the significant impact of the war on every dimension of Chinese life, including politics, the economy, culture, legal affairs, and science. For within the overriding struggle for national survival, the competition for political goals continued. China ultimately triumphed, but at a price of between 15 and 20 million lives and vast destruction of property and resources. And China's bitter victory brought new trials for the Chinese people in the form of civil war and revolution. This book tells the story of China during a crucial period pregnant with consequences not only for China but also for Asia and the world as well. Addressed to students, scholars, and general readers, the book aims to fill a gap in the existing literature on modern Chinese history and on World War II.

Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry

Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry

Royal Society of Chemistry
2019
nidottu
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful way to analyse a range of substances. It is used in everything from food safety to medicine. It has even been used to protect endangered vultures through analysis of poisonous pesticide molecules in their environment! I want to apply this technique, where do I begin? Is GC-MS is the right technique to use? How do I prepare my samples and calibrate the instruments? This textbook has the answers to all these questions and more. Throughout the book, case studies illustrate the practical process, the techniques used and any common challenges. Newcomers can easily search for answers to their question and find clear advice with coloured images on how to get started and all subsequent steps involved in using GC-MS as part of a research process. Readers will find information on collecting and preparing samples, designing and validating methods, analysing results, and troubleshooting. Examples of pollutant, food, oil and fragrance analysis bring the theory to life. The authors use their extensive experience teaching GC-MS theory and practice and draw on their combined backgrounds applying the technique in academic and industry settings to bring this practical reference together. The authors also design and teach the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Pan Africa Chemistry Network GC-MS course, which is supported by GSK.

Why Kids Love (and Hate) School

Why Kids Love (and Hate) School

Steven P. Jones; Eric C. Sheffield

Stylus Publishing
2018
sidottu
Some students hate school, and some students love it. Some students enter classrooms with an “I dare you try to teach me” look on their faces, and others bounce into class excited to learn and anxious to please the teacher. We know we can’t automatically blame teachers or schools when students don’t want to learn. But we also know that sometimes teachers and schools don’t always set students up for success, and they don’t always help them love what they’re learning. And that’s not supposed to happen.Why Kids Love (and Hate) School: Reflections on Practice investigates some of the school and classroom practices that help students love school—and some that send students in the opposite direction. Intended for classroom teachers, teacher education students, and school administrators, chapters in the book investigate a variety of topics: how schools can build effective school cultures, the “struggle” students encounter in learning, practices of other countries that help students love school, testing practices that cause students to hate school—and much more.

The Porta Stabia Neighborhood at Pompeii Volume I

The Porta Stabia Neighborhood at Pompeii Volume I

Steven J. R. Ellis; Allison L. C. Emmerson; Kevin D. Dicus

Oxford University Press
2023
sidottu
This is the first of four volumes that present the results from the University of Cincinnati's archaeological excavations of the Porta Stabia neighborhood at Pompeii. These excavations targeted two town blocks on either side of the via Stabiana (insulae VIII.7 and I.1), which comprised modest houses, shops, workshops, food and drink outlets, and hospitality buildings. The present volume describes and documents the phased, structural development of this neighborhood over several centuries. The earliest discernible activity here dates to the 6th century BCE, with the insulae taking their definitive shape only in the 2nd century BCE. It is from this time that production activities dominate the neighborhood, only to be wholly replaced by retail-oriented street-fronts from the early 1st century CE. Underpinning this narrative of urban development is a focus on the social and structural making of the Porta Stabia neighborhood, along with an interest in both the micro- (urban site formation processes) and macro-contextualization of the site (setting the results within a larger historic and urban framework).

Science and Partial Truth

Science and Partial Truth

Newton C. A. da Costa; Steven French

Oxford University Press Inc
2003
sidottu
Da Costa and French explore the consequences of adopting a "pragmatic" notion of truth in the philosophy of science--in other words, accepting a theory as valid when it may only be partially true rather than wholly true. Their framework sheds new light on issues dealing with belief, theory acceptance, and the realism-antirealism debate, as well as the nature of scientific models and their heuristic development.
