Principles of Cyberbullying Research Definitions, Measures, and Methodology


Free Download Sheri Bauman, "Principles of Cyberbullying Research: Definitions, Measures, and Methodology "
English | ISBN: 0415897491 | 2012 | 392 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
In 2010, the International Cyberbullying Think Tank was held in order to discuss questions of definition, measurement, and methodologies related to cyberbullying research. The attendees’ goal was to develop a set of guidelines that current and future researchers could use to improve the quality of their research and advance our understanding of cyberbullying and related issues. This book is the product of their meetings, and is the first volume to provide researchers with a clear set of principles to inform their work on cyberbullying. The contributing authors, all participants in the Think Tank, review the existing research and theoretical frameworks of cyberbullying before exploring topics such as questions of methodology, sampling issues, methods employed so far, psychometric issues that must be considered, ethical considerations, and implications for prevention and intervention efforts. Researchers as well as practitioners seeking information to inform their prevention and intervention programs will find this to be a timely and essential resource.

Real Analysis Measures, Integrals and Applications


Free Download Real Analysis: Measures, Integrals and Applications By Boris Makarov, Anatolii Podkorytov (auth.)
2013 | 772 Pages | ISBN: 1447151216 | PDF | 6 MB
Real Analysis: Measures, Integrals and Applications is devoted to the basics of integration theory and its related topics. The main emphasis is made on the properties of the Lebesgue integral and various applications both classical and those rarely covered in literature.This book provides a detailed introduction to Lebesgue measure and integration as well as the classical results concerning integrals of multivariable functions. It examines the concept of the Hausdorff measure, the properties of the area on smooth and Lipschitz surfaces, the divergence formula, and Laplace’s method for finding the asymptotic behavior of integrals. The general theory is then applied to harmonic analysis, geometry, and topology. Preliminaries are provided on probability theory, including the study of the Rademacher functions as a sequence of independent random variables.The book contains more than 600 examples and exercises. The reader who has mastered the first third of the book will be able to study other areas of mathematics that use integration, such as probability theory, statistics, functional analysis, partial probability theory, statistics, functional analysis, partial differential equations and others.Real Analysis: Measures, Integrals and Applications is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and physics. It assumes that the reader is familiar with basic linear algebra and differential calculus of functions of several variables.

Implementing Climate Change Measures in the EU Key Success Factors


Free Download Implementing Climate Change Measures in the EU: Key Success Factors By Merle Grobbel (auth.)
2009 | 409 Pages | ISBN: 3531162519 | PDF | 2 MB
Which factors influence the implementation of climate change measures in the EU? Are there already any indications prior to directive/law approval of (national) implementation difficulties that could later emerge? What are the prerequisites of successful implementation? How can we model implementation? Implementing Climate Change Measures in the EU provides answers to these questions and introduces an all new implementation model.

Handbook of Anthropometry Physical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease


Free Download Victor R. Preedy, "Handbook of Anthropometry: Physical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease"
English | ISBN: 144191787X | 2012 | 3157 pages | AZW3 | 36 MB
Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one―the measurement of the human body and its parts―anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a variety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anthropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectrical impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chapters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques. Developmental stages, from fetus to elder. Genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Exercise and nutrition. Ethnic, cultural, and geographic populations. Special conditions and circumstances. The Handbook of Anthropometry is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a broad spectrum of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists. It is also useful to college-level students and faculty in the health disciplines, as well as to policymakers and ergonomists.

Developments in Counter-Terrorist Measures and Uses of Technology


Free Download Helen Fenwick, "Developments in Counter-Terrorist Measures and Uses of Technology"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0415505666, 1138107700 | EPUB | pages: 112 | 0.7 mb
This book considers some of the most notable aspects of the legal response to the "war on terror" post- 9/11 and the use of technology to support them. It examines the shift from a criminal justice response to the creation of a parallel preventive system running in tandem with it. This system has tended to veer away from the commission of criminal offences or adherence to ordinary criminal justice safeguards. Such a preventive strategy relies on targeting terrorist suspects – those who it is thought may in future commit terrorist acts – and curbing their actions with the aim of preventing terrorist activity before it occurs.

Confidence Building Measures In The Middle East


Free Download Gabriel Ben-dor, David B. Dewitt, "Confidence Building Measures In The Middle East"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0813322936, 0367159295 | EPUB | pages: 389 | 1.1 mb
Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) were pioneered in Europe at the height of the Cold War. The immediate goal of such measures is to create enough trust between parties in international conflicts to avoid mutually unfavorable – sometimes dangerous – outcomes due to misunderstandings. The long-term goal of CBMs is to move the contending parties closer to a resolution of their more fundamental differences.

Symmetry Measures on Complex Networks


Free Download Symmetry Measures on Complex Networks by Angel Garrido
English | PDF | 2017 | 510 Pages | ISBN : 3038424986 | 123.78 MB
Symmetry is found everywhere, to a greater or lesser degree. It is essential in all sciences and also as the basic substrate in all arts. The same happens with Complex Networks, which are the majority of all those that interest for advanced knowledge, that is, for research. That is why these two themes have been unified here, whose intersection we are dealing with: in its first part, of fundamentals, and in its second part of applications, which are multiple in the world today.
