Download or read book Phase Change in Mechanics written by Michel Frémond and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g. solid-liquid phase change, volume and surface damage, and phase change involving temperature discontinuities. Many other phase change phenomena such as solid-solid phase change in shape memory alloys and vapor-liquid phase change are also explored. Modeling is based on continuum thermo-mechanics. This involves a renewed principle of virtual power introducing the power of the microscopic motions responsible for phase change. This improvement yields a new equation of motion related to microscopic motions, beyond the classical equation of motion for macroscopic motions. The new theory sensibly improves the phase change modeling. For example, when warm rain falls on frozen soil, the dangerous black ice phenomenon can be comprehensively predicted. In addition, novel equations predict the evolution of clouds, which are themselves a mixture of air, liquid water and vapor.

Book excerpt: "The media has recently been abuzz with cases of citizens around the world using digital technologies to push for social and political change: from the use of Twitter to amplify protests in Iran and Moldova to the thousands of American non-profits creating Facebook accounts in the hopes of luring supporters. These stories have been published, discussed, extolled, and derided, but have not yet been viewed holistically as a new field of human endeavor. We call this field "digital activism" and its dynamics, practices, misconceptions, and possible futures are presented together for the first time in this book."--Pub. desc.
Download or read book Thinking with Objects written by Domenico Bertoloni Meli and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Bertoloni Meli reexamines such major texts as Galileo's Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, Descartes' Principles of Philosophy, and Newton's Principia, and in them finds a reliance on objects that has escaped proper understanding. From Pappus of Alexandria to Guidobaldo dal Monte, Bertoloni Meli sees significant developments in the history of mechanical experimentation, all of them crucial for understanding Galileo. Bertoloni Meli uses similarities and tensions between dal Monte and Galileo as a springboard for exploring the revolutionary nature of seventeenth-century mechanics.' (Back cover)
Download or read book Cognitive Developmental Change written by Andreas Demetriou and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Developmental Change makes a fascinating contribution to the fields of developmental, cognitive and educational science by bringing together a uniquely diverse range of perspectives for analysing the dynamics of change. Connecting traditional Piagetian, information processing, and psychometric approaches with newer frameworks for the analysis of developmental change it provides the reader with an account of the latest theory and research at the time of publication. The contributors to the volume, all internationally respected experts, were asked when writing to consider three main aspects of cognitive change. Its object (what changes in the mind during development), its nature (how does change occur?) and its causes (why does change occur? Or, what are the internal and external factors responsible for cognitive change?). As a result chapters cover key theories of cognitive change, the factors that affect change including neurological, emotional and socio-cultural factors and methods for measuring and modelling change.

Download or read book Small Move Big Change written by Caroline L. Arnold and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most useful guide to getting things done since Getting Things Done." --Adam Grant, author of Give and Take Learn how small behavioral changes can lead to major personal and professional self-improvement Whether trying to lose weight, save money, get organized, or advance on the job, we’re always setting goals and making resolutions, but rarely following through on them. According to longtime Wall Street technology strategist Caroline Arnold, the “big push” strategy of the New Year’s resolution is designed to fail, because it broadly pits our limited willpower stores against an autopilot of entrenched behaviors and attitudes that is far more powerful. To change ourselves permanently, we need to focus our self-control on precise behavioral targets and overwhelm them. Small Move, Big Change is Arnold’s guide to turning broad personal goals into meaningful and discrete behavioral changes that lead to permanent improvement. Providing scores of engaging real-world examples and new scientific findings, she shows us that while the traditional resolution promises rewards on a distant “someday,” microresolutions work because they reward us today by instantly altering our routines and, ultimately, ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these chapters, Rick Bridges invites us on his successful and internationally acclaimed journey of leading enterprise-wide change. He shares his insights, stories, and proven methods for creating and sustaining transformational change that will leave you with a new and fresh perspective on your ability to lead and drive your organization. Using his humble wit, real life experiences, and passion for driving to actionable solutions, Rick shares how transforming culture, gaining competitive advantage, and creating tangible benefit through change can be done quickly, cheaply, and almost painlessly if you take into account three simple, yet critical principles - First, you need to change not knowing into knowing; secondly, you must manage your knowledge like any other valued asset; and last but not least, it is essential to spend the time to properly prepare your organization for the change before you start. Rick sets the stage for how a leader like you can drive successful transformation. Rick did not have a “C” acronym in his title, and like many leaders, he was someone that wanted to make things better, but sometimes lacked the fancy title, authority, or significant resources to make it happen. The success he achieved in transforming enterprises is something that you can achieve if you understand his passion and leverage the tools he shares in this book.
