China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “One Belt One Road” (OBOR) vision heralded as an attempt to revive the pre-modern Silk Route is intended to strengthen West Asia’s economic links with China through ambitious infrastructural projects. Central to this are fast-track rail links funded by the newly-established Asia Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) which has its headquarters in Beijing. This book explores the implications of OBOR and the AIIB for the Middle East/West Asia and addresses a number of key strategic questions arising from China’s new initiatives. These include: how far are the strategic imperatives underpinning China’s policies connected to the political dynamics of Xinjiang and the spread of radical Islam in Central Asia? How are Middle Eastern stakeholders’ views of China affected by the new initiatives? How does China’s increasing involvement in the Middle East/West Asia affect other regional powers with ambitions in the region notably Russia? The book also considers the impact of China’s increasing presence on individual countries including Saudi Arabia and Israel. | China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

This book explores the dynamics and challenges that underlie the ability of organizations to speak with one voice. Contributions by experienced and emerging scholars shed light on the nature and regulation of the communication processes whereby the many and diverse voices of a collective can unite act and speak as a distinct entity thus contributing to its organizing. By focusing on communicational events whether in the context of for-profit and non-profit organizations political protests or social movements chapters guide the reader through the diverse manifestations and concrete ways of dealing with the imperative for organizations of all kinds to speak with one voice. In doing so the book creates bridges between different perspectives with regard to the notion of voice and its significance for the study of organizing; between fields of study; and between theory and empirical research aimed at investigating organizing beyond the boundaries of the formal organization. Offering a thorough and comprehensive investigation of the dynamics between multivocality and univocality in the organizing of various collectives this book will be an important resource for scholars and students of organizational communication management studies media studies and rhetorical studies. | Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Despite enormous advances made in the development of external effector prosthetics over the last quarter century significant questions remain especially those concerning signal degradation that occurs with chronically implanted neuroelectrodes. Offering contributions from pioneering researchers in neuroprosthetics and tissue repair Indwelling Neural Implants: Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment examines many of these challenges paying particular attention to how the healing of tissues surrounding an implant can impact the intended use of a device. The contributions are divided into four sections · Part one examines wound healing from the initial insertion trauma through the inflammatory and repair process explaining how the action of healing varies throughout different areas of the body. · Part two considers various performance issues specific to particular implant components including those that arise from the chemical mechanical thermal and electrical impact on surrounding tissues. It discusses challenges that result from chronic tissue stimulation and heat effects that occur with on-chip and telemetric processing. · Part three presents both in vitro and in vivo approaches to assessing wound healing response to materials. It includes the contribution of the developer of a chronic hollow fiber membrane implant who explains how an in vivo model is used to assess molecular transport in brain tissue surrounding the implant. · The final section evaluates molecular and materials strategies for intervening in CNS wound repair and enhancing the electrical communication between the electrode surface and the surrounding tissue. It also presents novel approaches to nerve regeneration and repair. | Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

The Romantic age though often associated with free erotic expression was ambivalent about what if anything sex had to do with the public sphere. Late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century British texts often repressed the very sexual energies they claimed to be bringing into the open. The delineation of what could and could not be said and done in the name of physical pleasure was of a piece with the capitalist consecration of the social trust to the individual profit-motive. Both these practices moreover presupposed a determinate self with sovereignty over its own interests. Writings from and about some nominally public institutions were thus characterized by privatism—a sexual economic and ontological withdrawal from otherness. Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing: A Public of One explores how this threefold ideology was both propagated and resisted wittingly and unwittingly successfully and unsuccessfully in such Romantic publics as rape-law sodomy-law adultery-law high-profile scandals the population debates and club-culture. It includes readings of imaginative literature by William Beckford William Blake Erasmus Darwin Mary Hays Percy Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft; works of political economy by Jeremy Bentham William Cobbett William Godwin William Hazlitt and Thomas Robert Malthus; as well as contemporary legal treatises popular journalism and satirical pamphlets. | Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets: A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the biology prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases. Studies of pet dogs for instance can aid treatment of complex medical problems such as cancer orthopedic cardiopulmonary and neuro-inflammatory diseases and zoonotic infections. Each chapter within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a leader or leaders in their field of research. Using clinical trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine as well as benefiting pets suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities of diseases across species there are very few spontaneous models of disease used in research compared with models where disease is induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the imperative communication styles necessary within the research environment and with clients a compelling discussion on the ethics of using pets in veterinary clinical research comprehensive tables of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans the regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside research to patient bedside as well as intricate details on how to design a robust clinical study. | Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery
