This innovative study explores how long-term historical processes in the Lake Kivu region have shaped present-day relations between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Gillian Mathys reexamines historical understandings of mobility, conflict, identity formation and historical narration across state and ecological borders.

China remains one of the top capital exporters in the world, yet there is a paucity of reliable sources through which to assess Chinese corporate decision-making, the implementation of Chinese-financed and managed projects, and the socio-economic effects of those projects. The Casebook fills this gap by providing fifteen case studies written by experts and researchers, many from host states and who have first-hand knowledge of the transaction or dispute in question. Case studies are written primarily based on primary source material including transactional documents, interviews with stakeholders, laws and regulations, and case decisions. Educators in professional schools, including law, policy, and business, will find in the Casebook material to supplement class discussions pertaining to Chinese overseas investment, Chinese investment strategies, and the nature of the Chinese firm. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

On the basis of recently discovered sources and original research, this book identifies and analyses three story-patterns associated with human kingship in early Greek and ancient Near Eastern myth. The first of these, the 'Myth of the Servant', was used to explain how an individual of non-royal lineage rose to power from obscure origins. The second myth, on the 'Goddess and the Herdsman', made the fundamental claim that the ruler engaged in a sexual relationship with a powerful female deity. Third, although kings are often central to the ancient literary evidence, the texts themselves were usually authored by others, such as poets, priests, prophets or scholars; like kings, these characters similarly tended to base their authority on their ability to articulate and enact the divine will. The stage was thus set for narratives of conflict between kings and other intermediaries of the gods.

For student and professional alike this book provides an all-encompassing overview of the modern theory of global ship strength. Novices will find clear descriptions of the well-established methods, both mathematical and numerical, used worldwide currently. Researchers will find detailed descriptions of the ideas underlying the theoretical basis of modern techniques whereas professionals will benefit from the fundamentals of research results that have found application in recent rules and design practice. Covering both state-of-practice and state-of-the-art of the subject in a modern and up-to-date manner, readers will gain a deeper understanding. This book includes many examples of the application of the theory to problems providing the foundation to developing software. One chapter is dedicated to tracing the development of ship structural design from prehistory to today, allowing the reader to comprehend how design and construction practice has evolved and the pivotal turning points in a long and diverse pattern of development.

Diseases of nervous system and muscles often impair breathing, coughing, and swallowing. To interpret and treat these conditions is demanding for healthcare professionals as it requires profound knowledge. This comprehensive text explores clinical diagnosis & therapy for the complete spectrum of neurological conditions with respiratory impairment.

The new edition of this classic emphasises real-world data, new techniques, and new topics in biomaterials, electronic materials, and cellular materials. With over 740 homework problems, online solutions and slides for instructors, this textbook remains ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering.

This work develops techniques and basic results concerning the homotopy theory of enriched diagrams and enriched Mackey functors. Presentation of a category of interest as a diagram category has become a standard and powerful technique in a range of applications. Diagrams that carry enriched structures provide deeper and more robust applications. With an eye to such applications, this work provides further development of both the categorical algebra of enriched diagrams, and the homotopy theoretic applications in K-theory spectra. The title refers to certain enriched presheaves, known as Mackey functors, whose homotopy theory classifies that of equivariant spectra. More generally, certain stable model categories are classified as modules - in the form of enriched presheaves - over categories of generating objects. This text contains complete definitions, detailed proofs, and all the background material needed to understand the topic. It will be indispensable for graduate students and researchers alike.

What did early modern English Protestant worshippers think that they were doing when they bowed, knelt, or made the sign of the cross? Protestant Bodies explores the history of the English Reformation through the gestures of public worship and reestablishes their central role in early modern England.

Robert Greville, 2nd Lord Brooke, was a prominent figure in the English Civil War. This volume publishes the annual household accounts kept for Brooke and his widow, Katherine, between 1640 and 1649. Illuminating Brooke's activities and the administration of his estates, the accounts are crucial sources for historians of 17th-century England.

Based on analysis of archaeological site reports, linguistic relationships, and genetic data first published in different languages, this synthesis of the latest evidence sheds light on the peopling process of the Caucasus from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Iron Age. It will appeal to students in anthropology, history, Indo-European studies.

Neuroprognostication in patients with primary neurological diagnoses is increasingly complex, as the focus of the field moves from survivorship to improving quality of life. With guidance on choosing the right management strategy for a range of diseases and exploring new frontiers such as machine learning, this is a key resource.

This dynamic textbook provides students with a concise and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of modern digital communications systems. Building from first principles, its comprehensive approach equips students with all of the mathematical tools, theoretical knowledge, and practical understanding they need to excel. It equips students with a strong mathematical foundation spanning signals and systems, probability, random variables, and random processes, and introduces students to key concepts in digital information sources, analog-to-digital conversion, digital modulation, power spectra, multi-carrier modulation, and channel coding. It includes over 85 illustrative examples, and more than 270 theoretical and computational end-of-chapter problems, allowing students to connect theory to practice, and is accompanied by downloadable Matlab code, and a digital solutions manual for instructors. Suitable for a single-semester course, this succinct textbook is an ideal introduction to the field of digital communications for senior undergraduate students in electrical engineering.

Written by the candidates who ranked first and second nationally in the 2023 Core Surgical Training (CST) application process, this book is a definitive guide to success in the CST interview. This book takes candidates through the CST interview process, covering all of the clinical, ethical, and leadership components that an applicant can expect to be tested on. Over 55 clinical and ethics-based cases and hundreds of interview questions are used as part of a spiral curriculum that covers common stations and helps to build a replicable approach to each station. It also covers important aspects of communication and presentation skills.
