Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems comprises 330 papers that were presented at the Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering Mechanics and Computation (SEMC 2022 Cape Town South Africa 5-7 September 2022). The topics featured may be clustered into six broad categories that span the themes of mechanics modelling and engineering design: (i) mechanics of materials (elasticity plasticity porous media fracture fatigue damage delamination viscosity creep shrinkage etc); (ii) mechanics of structures (dynamics vibration seismic response soil-structure interaction fluid-structure interaction response to blast and impact response to fire structural stability buckling collapse behaviour); (iii) numerical modelling and experimental testing (numerical methods simulation techniques multi-scale modelling computational modelling laboratory testing field testing experimental measurements); (iv) design in traditional engineering materials (steel concrete steel-concrete composite aluminium masonry timber); (v) innovative concepts sustainable engineering and special structures (nanostructures adaptive structures smart structures composite structures glass structures bio-inspired structures shells membranes space structures lightweight structures etc); (vi) the engineering process and life-cycle considerations (conceptualisation planning analysis design optimization construction assembly manufacture maintenance monitoring assessment repair strengthening retrofitting decommissioning). Two versions of the papers are available: full papers of length 6 pages are included in an e-book while short papers of length 2 pages intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers are in this printed book. This work will be of interest to civil structural mechanical marine and aerospace engineers as well as planners and architects. | Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics Modelling and Design of Structural Systems Proceedings of The Eighth International Con

Critical Perspectives on Rural Change

Critical Perspectives on Rural Change

This series originally published between 1990 and 1994 arose out of the increasing need for the international debate and dissemination of on-going empirical and theoretical research associated with rural areas in advanced societies. Rural areas then as now their residents and agencies are facing rapid social economic and political change. Local national and international political forces have direct influence upon rural areas not only for those concerned with agriculture but also regarding rural development initiatives overall economic and social policy and regional and fiscal arrangements. The volumes are designed to appeal to a wide audience associated with international comparative research. They provide reviews of research available at the original time of publication taking as their focus one major theme per volume. | Critical Perspectives on Rural Change

Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

To this Eighth Edition of the late Mr William Gardner‘s Chemical Synonyms and trade Names there have been added some 3 300 new entries principally in the field of plastics alloys and pharmaceuticals. A number of entries describing products known to the Editors to be no longer commercially available have been deleted with the principal object of keeping the bulk of the book within reasonable bounds; but it has been possible to add nearly 400 names to the Index of Manufacturers to be found at the end of the book. The sum of these additions and deletions represents a net increase of about 10 per cent in the scope of this Eighth Edition as compared with its predecessor published in 1971. | Handbook of Chemical Synonyms and Trade Names

The Insider's Guide to Independent Film Distribution

The Insider's Guide to Independent Film Distribution

Innovation in technology means that almost anyone can make an independent film these days. Although this may be good news for aspiring filmmakers it also means that the oversupply of independent films on the market has caused acquisition prices to dramatically decrease. As a result producers and investors rarely recover their initial investment in the films they make. But don't be discouraged! Use this book to learn the realities of the market in advance and map out a winning distribution plan. This comprehensive manual for filmmakers and producers dedicated to film distribution and the marketplace could mean the difference between getting your film out to the public and keeping it in the can. Learn how to sell your movie to a studio a cable network a video distributor or an international buyer. Self-distribution and other alternatives to traditional distribution are also considered. In addition you'll hear some success stories from producers and hear exactly what buyers are seeking. Stacey Parks has worked with hundreds of hungry filmmakers to get their films a distribution deal and knows how frustrating the whole process can be. Let her show you how you can take control of your filmmaking career and start getting your work seen by audiences with a few little-known distribution secrets. Features include: . Interviews and case studies with producers and distributors. Ten ways to market your film for self-distribution. Sales projections per territory. Distribution resources listings. Negotiation tips for distribution agreements. Sample distribution agreements. What you must know to get your independent film distributed. Written by a distributor who knows the process inside and out. Interviews with buyers and acquisitions executives from every sector of the business on what kinds of films they look for what they're sick of seeing and how their acquisitions processes work.

Resale Price Maintenance and the Law The Future of Vertical Restraints

Resale Price Maintenance and the Law The Future of Vertical Restraints

The question of how to properly enforce against RPM has been a contentious debate for decades on both sides of the Atlantic. The catalyst is the acceptance that RPM can generate both anti-competitive effects and pro-competitive efficiencies that need to be properly balanced to ensure against Type I/Type II errors and to create viable legislation. Part I focuses on 100 years of US origins and the current legal approach to VR enforcement which reveals the precedent responsible for the transition between per se illegality and the rule of reason thresholds at the federal level. Nine anti-competitive and 19 pro-competitive theoretical models are also introduced to clearly demonstrate the true nonconsensus existent between economists as to whether RPM is deleterious enough to justify a stringent approach to RPM regulation. Part II closely examines the EU origins and current legal structure where RPM has maintained its hardcore by-object designation pursuant to Art. 101(1) TFEU with the consequence of having no safe harbours no applicability of the De Minimus Doctrine an onerous negative rebuttable presumption non-severability of the agreement and almost no chance of obtaining an exemption under Art. 101(3). This is exacerbated by the EC’s lack of guidance on how to prove all conditions necessary for an Art. 101(3) exemption and when a vertical arrangement actually escapes Art. 101(1) applicability. The aim of this book is to examine the economic models historical origins and legal structures of the US/EU regimes to develop proposals on how to modify the EU’s current legal structure to ensure proper enforcement of RPM behaviour that actually enhances legal certainty through a more aligned approach at the national level. Part III proposes five solutions which scrutinise the concepts of appreciability hardcore and by-object restraints to implement modifications to EU’s current legal framework to ensure RPM receives reasonable and equitable treatment in line with economic theory. | Resale Price Maintenance and the Law The Future of Vertical Restraints
