14 MeV Neutrons Physics and Applications

14 MeV Neutrons Physics and Applications

Despite the often difficult and time-consuming effort of performing experiments with fast (14 MeV) neutrons these neutrons can offer special insight into nucleus and other materials because of the absence of charge. 14 MeV Neutrons: Physics and Applications explores fast neutrons in basic science and applications to problems in medicine the environment and security. Drawing on his more than 50 years of experience working with 14 MeV neutrons the author focuses on:Sources of 14 MeV neutrons including laboratory size accelerators small and sealed tube generators well logging sealed tube accelerators neutron generators with detection of associated alpha particles plasma devices high flux sources and laser-generated neutron sourcesNuclear reactions with 14 MeV neutrons including measurements of energy spectra angular distributions and deductions of reaction mechanismNuclear reactions with three particles in the final state induced by neutrons and the identification of effects of final state interaction quasi-free scattering and charge-dependence of nuclear forces Charged particle and neutron detection methods particularly position-sensitive detectorsIndustrial applications of nuclear analytical methods especially in the metallurgy and coal industriesQuality assurance and quality control measures for nuclear analytical methodsNuclear and atomic physics-based technology for combating illicit trafficking and terrorismMedical applications including radiography radiotherapy in vivo neutron activation analysis boron neutron therapy collimated neutron beams and dosimetryThis book reflects the exciting developments in both fundamental nuclear physics and the application of fast neutrons to many practical problems. The book shows how 14 MeV neutrons are used in materials detection and analysis to effectively inspect large volumes in complex environments. | 14 MeV Neutrons Physics and Applications

Changing Patterns of European Family Life A Comparative Analysis of 14 Countries

Changing Patterns of European Family Life A Comparative Analysis of 14 Countries

Originally published in 1989 this cross-national study investigates the role and pattern of family life in fourteen countries in contemporary Europe. Providing a wealth of information on European families it is a key source for anyone wishing to understand the changes in the family at that time. The contributors argue that far from withering away the family remained a very important social unit which continued to have considerable influence on other social institutions such as the state and the labour market. The central theme is the interrelation between changes in production and working life on one hand and changes in family life and reproduction on the other. The contributors focus on the pressures and contradictions produced by the division of functions between family and work and on problems which have arisen as a consequence of the sometimes incompatible and even conflicting demands of the two institutions. They show that the evolution of the nuclear family model in Europe had led to a great diversity of family patterns and conclude that the family in modern European societies still had a contribution to make which no other institution could provide. | Changing Patterns of European Family Life A Comparative Analysis of 14 Countries

Current Topics in Management Volume 14 Organizational Behavior Performance and Effectiveness

Current Topics in Management Volume 14 Organizational Behavior Performance and Effectiveness

As the series editor M. Afzalur Rahim points out with justifiable pride for the past fourteen years Current Topics in Management has provided high quality research and theory on management concerns at the international as well as national levels and done so through with respect for the universality collegiality and need for broad involvement. The present volume continues and expands on that tradition and is predicated on the need for high level interactions between human motivation and organizational performance. While each essay is unique and can stand alone the volume demonstrates a linkage in four major sections: organizational behavior and performance; strategy structure and performance; cognition common sense and effectiveness; and entrepreneurship as a whole. This makes possible a unique title for the volume as a whole: Organizational Behavior Performance and Effectiveness. This volume takes on innovative dimensions in its own right: the relationship between competence performance and longevity in issues of social support networks and organizational turnover the issue of competence destroying technologies that are engulfed by uncertainty firm performance and cognitive differentiation of tasks management premises and cellular organizations - both past and present and wider issues of cognition in the performance of tasks and the design of enterprises. This is in short i?1/2a cutting edge volume of potential wide use and interest in a variety of public and private managerial situations. | Current Topics in Management Volume 14 Organizational Behavior Performance and Effectiveness

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Economics is often accused of being a-ethical-lacking a moral perspective-if not altogether immoral. Its detractors criticize economic models of pure and perfect competition and claim that economics should be concerned with social effects and strive to be equitable. Yet these critics fail to understand that the discipline has many dimensions. Economics has also developed a group of concerns directly related to ethics. The presence of practical ethics is evident in the economic analysis of behavior that incorporates ethical preference altruism and a responsible calculation based on norms. It is fair today that economics differentiates ethics from purely financial matters and the discipline can be associated with morality in man's daily life. Volume 14 of the distinguished Praxiology series examine the concept of positive ethics in economics. While normative ethics moralizes economics trying to render it more just positive ethics is first and foremost a model for the construction of theoretical economic reasoning: It reflects on ethical practices within economics and introduces a model of reasoning that takes individual ethical behavior and its aftereffects into account. The book is divided into three parts. In Altruism the contributors discuss the notion of unselfish concern for the welfare of others and its place in economic practice. In Commitment the authors discuss reason as being central to economic theory as well as the position of ethical behavior. In Responsibility the idea that man is not an island unto himself but a being involved in a set of relationships is examined. If a person is simultaneously responsible for himself and others then how far does his responsibility extend?Essays on Positive Ethics in Economics is thought-provoking volume that will be of interest to economists policymakers philosophers and students of ethics and morality. JÚr¶me Ballet is senior lecturer in economics at the University of Versailles and senior research fellow at the C3ED (Economics and Ethics Center for Environment and Development). He is the editor of the online journal Ethics and Economics and has published several books and articles on ethics and economics. Damien Bazin is a research fellow at the C3ED where his specialization is economic philosophy. He is associate editor of Ethics and Economics. | Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology
