Abstract:

The textbook corresponds to the general education programs of the general courses "Hydraulics" and "Fluid Mechanics". The basic physical properties of liquids, gases, and their mixtures, including the quantum nature of viscosity in a liquid, are described; the laws of hydrostatics, their observation in natural phenomena, and their application in engineering are described. The fundamentals of the kinematics and dynamics of an incompressible fluid are given; original examples of the application of the Bernoulli equation are given. The modes of fluid motion are supplemented by the features of the

Abstract:

The first edition of Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design showcases the mathematical development of analytical equations for the design of cathodic protection (CP) systems for underground structures with anode groundbeds having various configurations. Equations include calculations for the resistance and voltage (potential) to assist the CP design engineer. This second edition has several important changes including updates on integral and analytic solutions for horizontal anodes in the same trench, an approach that was insufficiently developed in the first edition.

Abstract:

The Conclusion considers the distance between Bonhoeffer’s politics and ours. Our own thinking about political resistance in the West tends to begin with the idea of inviolable human rights, the protection of which is a chief duty of the state. If the state allows those rights to be violated or violates them itself, individual citizens ought to resist, and the church should lend its moral authority. As this book has shown, Bonhoeffer’s vision of resistance differs from ours in several important ways. His political thinking privileges not rights but the state’s mandate for preservation. And for

Abstract:

Everything that rolls along the ground uses energy to overcome both rolling resistance and air resistance. Air resistance is more significant at higher speeds. Repeated accelerations dominate energy use in stop–start city driving. Not surprisingly, heavy, large SUVs use more energy to go a given distance than lighter, more streamlined cars. Due to the mismatch between the torque required and the rotation rate of the drive wheels, internal combustion engines in cars or trucks do not operate at their peak efficiency. Trains are the most efficient form of ground transportation due to both the low

Abstract:

In the post-Reformation period the relationships between revenge and justice and between revenge and political resistance became newly pressing and problematic. This chapter argues that in his two revenge tragedies of the Elizabethan fin de siècle, Titus Andronicus and Hamlet, Shakespeare stages those relationships and the concomitant difficulties. In each case he was arguably using the temporal and geographical distance afforded him by the play's setting—in the case of Titus, a remote, wholly pagan, and entirely made-up Rome, and in the case of Hamlet an entirely foreign and temporally remote

Abstract:

As opposed to Schaeffer and Poulenc, Olivier Messiaen had no need slowly to distance himself from Vichy, having rejected the regime from the beginning. Like many of his fellows in a German prisoner-of-war camp, he rather chose to support another devout Catholic and patriot, Charles de Gaulle. As did other Catholic nonconformists, he grasped the implications of their dictum of subjective spiritual agency, or truth that is obtained not through obeisance to church doctrine but through the soul’s immediate contact with scripture. Messiaen expressed this through several of his wartime compositions,

Abstract:

When building something, it is essential to know the hardware. This chapter contains key things to know about the active components of the brain: nerve cells (aka neurons). Neurons have severe performance limitations. Problems include high energy consumption, mechanical and physiological sensitivity, unreliability, limited connectivity, and difficulty in wiring neurons together. Neurons are at least a million times slower to “compute” than a modern electronic device. This slow speed cannot be avoided because the neuron has to deal with high electrical capacity and resistance and slow conductio

Abstract:

Francis Poulenc, like Honegger, worked principally in the occupied zone throughout the war, but he presents a revealing contrast with the former, for his path led away from accommodation with Vichy. As he became aware of its increasing collaboration with the Germans he gradually distanced himself from the regime, joined the Resistance, and sought hermeneutically, or through style, to express his new position. While initially placing himself advantageously within the shifting French musical field, he ultimately decided rather to seek approval from the musicians and friends he admired who were i

Chapter 6 addresses the ethical issues involved in engaging with the perpetrator’s perspective by analyzing Jonathan Littell’s Les Bienveillantes (2006, The Kindly Ones). It discusses imaginative resistance, difficult empathy, and identification in relation to readerly engagement and perspective-taking. The chapter shows how the interplay between immersiveness and critical distance can produce a narrative dynamic that allows the reader to engage emotionally—but without uncritically adopting the protagonist’s perspective—with an ethically problematic life-world. It analyzes how the novel perfor

Abstract:

Negotiating the distance between Simone de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray reveals that, despite their diverse starting points and philosophical commitments, they arrive at similar conclusions regarding the issue of violence against woman. Beauvoir’s existential–phenomenological account of the embodied vicissitudes of freedom and Irigaray’s psychoanalytic account of the bodied drives that structure human symbolic existence reveal that so long as women are signified as woman, the second sex (Beauvoir) and the power of masculine symbolic to silence all other articulations the human endures (Irigaray)

Truth and Consequences interrogates the ways in which over two dozen works of fiction and film find meaning in the game show. Writers and filmmakers use the game show intermedially as a metaphor for what it means to be a person, a lover, a family, and a citizen in the media age. Despite media culture’s promises of global equality and connectivity (and one’s efforts to realize that promise), individuals wind up isolated by market-driven deception, wealth, or ethnicity. People use media to achieve greater intimacy with others, but the market nudges them to keep their distance from each other in

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the cultural association called Jeune France, on Pierre Schaeffer’s initial relation to Vichy, and the goals that he believed they shared. It then traces the way in which his perceptions of the regime slowly changed as he became aware of the political and cultural limits of its vision of a “new France.” While at first idealistically supporting Vichy, he later turned against it from within its own institutions. For he had sought to reinscribe the classics as well as traditional folk culture, but in a manner that opened up a progressive vision of the French community, one

Farber traces the Berlin Wall as a site of pilgrimage for American artists, writers, and activists. During the Cold War and in the shadow of the Wall, figures such as Leonard Freed, Angela Davis, Shinkichi Tajiri, and Audre Lorde weighed the possibilities and limits of American democracy. All were sparked by their first encounters with the Wall, incorporated the

Hanifi Baris develops his arguments with an historical examination and finds apathy towards and a resistance to state-building in Kurdistan. Accordingly, Baris argues, this tendency to establish self-government with distaste to state-building has enabled major Kurdish movements in Turkey and Syria to develop a form of political community that cons

This chapter surveys the development of sixteenth-century popularity politics, noting Burghley, Essex, and Bancroft all to have been practitioners of that ‘dark art’. It shows that popularity was a term of opprobrium and distaste to the elite, yet was taken up with equal enthusiasm by Puritanism and Roman Catholic enemies of the Elizabethan regime, contributing to a fitful emergence of the public sphere. Deploying English history in support of their claims, religious partisanship focused certain late medieval reigns: those of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III—the very re

Reconstruction was rapid, and laid the basis for the country’s full industrialization.

It is often said that we live in global systems of injustice. But if so, what are they, and what are their moral consequences? This book offers a theory of global injustice—“Unfreedom for All.” The theory explores and defends the old adage that “No one is free while others are oppressed” by putting five questions: Why and when ought we to combat injustices done to distant others, and does this require joining in solidarity against them? Do we live under global systems of injustice? What counts as systematic injustice or oppression? Who if anyone is made unfree by such injustices? What harms do

Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation. Since I (Bruce E. Johansen) has written profusely about climate change (global warming, a.k.a. infrared forcing), I suggested a concerted effort in that direction.
