Free Download Biotectonics of Neotropical Transition Zones by Lize Hermógenes de Mendonça , Bernard Michaux , Malte C. Ebach
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 83 Pages | ISBN : 303180161X | 14.5 MB
This book offers an up-to-date review and synthesis of the role of tectonics in Neotropical bioregionalisation, in particular transition zones. The main questions are "What are transition zones?", "How would we identify them?" and, "What are the tectonic drivers of transition zones?" These questions are pertinent as they may reveal a new transition zone within the Caribbean (Antillean sub-region), and provides an up-to-date account of the biotectonics of the Caribbean. In addition, the book contains a detailed tectonic summary of the development of the Andes and the bioregionalisation of the South American Transition Zone.

Free Download Elizabeth D. Heineman, "Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones: From the Ancient World to the Era of Human Rights"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0812243188 | PDF | pages: 341 | 4.6 mb
Since the 1990s, sexual violence in conflict zones has received much media attention. In large part as a result of grassroots feminist organizing in the 1970s and 1980s, mass rapes in the wars in the former Yugoslavia and during the Rwandan genocide received widespread coverage, and international organizations-from courts to NGOs to the UN-have engaged in systematic efforts to hold perpetrators accountable and to ameliorate the effects of wartime sexual violence.

Free Download Arctic Oceanography: Marginal Ice Zones and Continental Shelves By Walker O. Smith Jr., Jacqueline M. Grebmeier
1995 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0875902634 | PDF | 8 MB
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 49.The Arctic Ocean is the least understood ocean on Earth, and yet its importance to the world’s oceans and climate is immense. For example, it has been suggested that the Arctic is the region most likely to be affected by increased atmospheric temperatures which might occur as a result of anthropogenic releases of greenhouse gases. It also plays a critical role in global oceanic circulation, in that it modulates the formation of deep water in the North Atlantic via ice export. Despite its pivotal role in global processes, the Arctic remains poorly understood. This volume is an attempt to highlight and synthesize some of the recent advances in our knowledge of Arctic oceanography and includes topics that will interest physical, biological, chemical, and geological oceanographers as well as atmospheric scientists.That the Arctic is so poorly known relative to other oceans is not surprising. It is largely ice-covered throughout the year, with only some of its continental shelves becoming ice?]free in summer. Its ice is mostly multi?]year and very thick, making penetration into the deeper portions impossible except by the most powerful ice?]breakers. However, in recent years new technologies have been applied to the Arctic, and our understanding of the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes which occur within it is rapidly increasing. Satellite sensors observe the Arctic continually, allowing us to follow ice circulation, storms, and openings in the pack ice that had never been observed previously. Moorings, ships and buoys now can withstand many of the rigors of the Arctic, and observations of the water column and seabed are becoming more common. Finally, because of its importance to global processes, studies of the Arctic are attracting scientists not only from Arctic nations but from nations around the world. Arctic oceanography truly has become an international effort.

This course examines how resource consistency, observability, and access management work together to create a successful cloud environment in Azure. Join instructor Mike Benkovich as he explores how to operationalize cloud infrastructure and the patterns of cloud application management, focusing on connected services, resource consistency, and automation in Azure. Try out your new skills along the way in practical demos that show you how to define a landing zone, integrate with cloud services, work with infrastructure-as-code tools like ARM and Bicep, and automate with continuous delivery platforms such as Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to use Azure’s native tools to define compliance and policy and create landing zones for development teams to deliver effective solutions and maintain a well-governed cloud.

Free Download Zones of Peace in the Third World: South America and West Africa in Comparative Perspective By Arie M. Kacowicz
1998 | 267 Pages | ISBN: 0791439577 | PDF | 2 MB
The term "zones of peace" has been used in reference to the Cold War (1945-1989) and to separate peace among the democracies developed progressively throughout the last two hundred years. In this book, however, Kacowicz moves beyond a European focus to consider the theoretical and historical significance of the term in the context of the Third World. He argues that there have been periods of "long peace," so that zones of peace, characterized by the absence of interstate war, have developed in South America since the late 1880s and among the West African countries since their independence in the early 1960s. Kacowicz explores how regional peace is maintained in South American and West Africa through the distilling of alternative explanations, including Realism, Liberalism, and satisfaction with the territorial status quo. He also examines how peace can be maintained among states that usually sustain Western democratic regimes by offering a critique (and improvement) upon the "democratic peace" theory. Peace can indeed be maintained, he asserts, among nondemocratic states, although there is a direct relationship between the quality of the regional peace and the type of political regimes sustained by the countries in any given region.

Free Download The Barrier Zones in the Ocean By Dr. Emelyan M. Emelyanov (auth.)
2005 | 632 Pages | ISBN: 3540253912 | PDF | 19 MB
Geochemical barrier zones play an important role in determining various physical systems and characteristics of the oceans, e.g. hydrodynamics, salinity, temperature and light. In this book, each of the 40 barrier zones covered are illustrated and defined by physical-chemical parameters. Among the topics discussed are the processes of inflow, transformation and precipitation of the sedimentary layer of the open oceans and more restricted areas such as the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean Seas. This well-illustrated book may serve as the basis for courses such as "Marine Geochemistry" or "Ocean Usage" and can be useful to researchers in the fields of geology, geography, marine chemistry, geoecology and hydrochemistry.

Free Download Ethnographies of Grey Zones in Eastern Europe : Relations, Borders and Invisibilities By Frederiksen, Martin Demant; Harboe Knudsen, Ida
2015 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 178308412X | PDF | 2 MB
Over the last two decades, Eastern Europe has experienced extensive changes in geo-political relocations and relations leading to everyday uncertainty. Attempts to establish liberal democracies, re-orientations from planned to market economics, and a desire to create ‘new states’ and internationally minded ‘new citizens’ has left some in poverty, unemployment and social insecurity, leading them to rely on normative coping and semi-autonomous strategies for security and social guarantees. This anthology explores how grey zones of governance, borders, relations and invisibilities affect contemporary Eastern Europe.
