Download or read book Box Boats written by Brian J. Cudahy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago--on April 26, 1956--the freighter Ideal X steamed from Berth 26 in Port Newark, New Jersey. Flying the flag of the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company, she set out for Houston with an unusual cargo: 58 trailer trucks lashed to her top deck. But they weren't trucks--they were steel containers removed from their running gear, waiting to be lifted onto empty truck beds when Ideal X reached Texas. She docked safely, and a revolution was launched--not only in shipping, but in the way the world trades. Today, the more than 200 million containers shipped every year are the lifeblood of the new global economy. They sit stacked on thousands of "box boats" that grow more massive every year. In this fascinating book, transportation expert Brian Cudahy provides a vivid, fast-paced account of the container-ship revolution--from the maiden voyage of the Ideal X to the entrepreneurial vision and technological breakthroughs that make it possible to ship more goods more cheaply than every before. Cudahy tells this complex story easily, starting with Malcom McLean, Pan-Atlantic's owner who first thought about loading his trucks on board. His line grew into the container giant Sea-Land Services, and Cudahy charts its dramatic evolution into Maersk Sealand, the largest container line in the world. Along the way, he provides a concise, colorful history of world shipping--from freighter types to the fortunes of steamship lines--and explores the spectacular growth of global trade fueled by the mammoth ships and new seaborne lifelines connecting Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Masterful maritime history, Box Boats shows how fleets of these ungainly ships make the modern world possible--with both positive and negative effects. It's also a tale of an historic home port, New York, where old piers lie silent while 40-foot steel boxes of toys and televisions come ashore by the thousands, across the bay in New Jersey.

Download or read book Between the Social and the Spatial written by Katrien De Boyser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the gradual widening of scientific and policy debates on poverty from a narrow focus on income poverty to a more inclusive concept of social exclusion, has made poverty research both more interesting and more complicated. This transition to a more multidimensional conceptualization of poverty forms the background and starting point of this book. Researchers studying the 'social' and 'spatial' dimensions of poverty have only started to challenge and explore the boundaries of each other's research perspectives and instruments. This book brings together these different bodies of literature on the intersection of spatial and social exclusion for the first time, by providing a state-of-the art review written by internationally-recognized experts who critically reflect on the theoretical status of their research on social exclusion, and on the implications this has for future research and policy-making agendas.

Download or read book Modern Keratoplasty written by Jorge L. Alió and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​Keratoplasty techniques have evolved in the last 15 years into a variety of forms, which have diversified the previous monographic presence of the penetrating keratoplasty technique. The development of anterior lamellar graft (DALK), and posterior lamellar graft (DSAEK), makes an important change in the approach to lamellar surgery. Later on, the appearance of DMEK and superficial lamellar keratectomy broadened the spectrum. Today, intralamellar surgery has evolved with a number of techniques that involve stromal enhancement with biologically active or acellular corneal laminas from donors, customized lenticles from SMILE surgeries or customized by corneal topography, and more recently, corneal regeneration of the stroma by advanced techniques using mesenchymal stem cells. This book offers a comprehensive overview of modern keratoplasty techniques, the technology, surgical skills, and outcomes. It highlights the practical uses of keratoplasty for all cornea surgeons and anterior segment surgeons. The book is divided into sections, each covering a specific type of keratoplasty, including chapters on innovations within each surgery type. The goal of this book is to unify all recent knowledge about the different keratoplasty techniques and outcomes, creating a one-stop resource for ophthalmaolgy surgeons. Modern Keratoplasty is a must-have resource for corneal specialists and surgeons, anterior segment surgeons, refractive surgeons, cataract surgeons, residents, fellows, and corneal researchers.

Download or read book Self Study and Diversity II written by Julian Kitchen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Study and Diversity II is a book about the self-study of teacher education practices in a diverse world. In this volume, the authors examine the preparation of teachers through a shared orientation to diversity grounded in a commitment to addressing issues of identity, equity, diversity, social justice, inclusion, and access in their professional practice. The first chapters are autobiographical studies in which teacher educators reflect on how their personal identities as minorities within a historically oppressive culture inform their professional practice. These powerful narratives are followed by accounts of teacher educators addressing diversity issues in the United Arab Emirates, India, South Africa, and Thailand. The closing chapters attend to the challenges of preparing teacher candidates to become inclusive educators in a diverse world. Even though each chapter focusses on a particular dimension of equity and social justice or dilemma of practice, the insights in these self-studies are relevant to all teacher educators interested in improving teacher education by respecting diversity and becoming more inclusive. Particular strengths are the diversity of authors and international scope of the book.

Download or read book Physical and Medical Conditions Associated with Autism written by Martina Micai and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some specific physical and medical conditions are well recognized to be more common in autistic individuals compared to the general population (e.g., sleep-wake disorders, epilepsy, sensory impairments). However, the prevalence and the impact on autistic individuals and their families of other physical and medical conditions, such as cardiovascular conditions, cancer, musculoskeletal conditions, food intolerance, allergies, autoimmune problems, diabetes, and neurocutaneous disorders have yet to be established. The presence of such co-occurring conditions affects the success of treatment and worsens the quality of life of autistic individuals and their carers. Importantly, the awareness of the presence of specific physical and medical conditions associated with autism allows for targeted interventions and better outcomes.

Download or read book Endocrine Consequences of Prader Willi Syndrome written by Katja Dumic Kubat and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prader-Willi Syndrome has an estimated birth incidence of 1 in 10,000-30,000 people and affects male and females equally. The rare genetic disorder is caused by absent expression of the paternally-inherited genes on chromosome 15q11.2-q13 and presents implications on the endocrine system from early life as a result of associated hypothalamic dysfunction. Patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome experience endocrine disorders such as hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and poor bone mineral density. The features of Prader-Willi Syndrome are also consistent with those of growth hormone deficiency; patients also present with short stature and growth deceleration. Those with Prader-Willi Syndrome are also at a higher risk of obesity, owing to their lower resting energy expenditure and lack of satiety, as well as 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Accordingly, individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome should be advised and monitored by an endocrinologist throughout their lifespan. This collection aims to present up-to-date research relating to the presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and risk-factors of endocrine disorders in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, reviews, original research , or other accepted articles relating to: - Presentation of endocrine dysfunction in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome; - Specific risk-factors of endocrine dysfunction in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome; - Management or treatment of endocrine disorders in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome - Tools for the diagnosis of endocrine disorders in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome - Endocrine dysfunction in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome and comorbidities.
