More than 25,000 chemical products have the potential to cause ocular burns. Because such burns can result in loss of sight or the need for corneal transplantation, they must be taken very seriously. This book is the first to be devoted entirely to chemical ocular burns. All aspects of the subject are covered, including history, epidemiology, chemical agents and reactions, histology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, medical and surgical treatments, and emergency care. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms involved in ocular burns and to the links between the chemical reactivity of corrosive agents and the clinical manifestations. Current principles of decontamination are fully explained and the latest treatment techniques are discussed in detail. This book stands at the interface of the chemical and medical sciences. It will be of great practical value to ophthalmologists and doctors in emergency medical and burns units, and will acquaint chemists with the clinical consequences of corrosivity.

The Subjectivities and Politics of Occupational Risk links restructuring in three industries to shifts in risk subjectivities and politics, both within workplaces and within the safety management and regulative spheres, often leading to conflict and changes in law, political discourses and management approaches. The state and corporate governance emphasis on worker participation and worker rights, internal responsibility, and self-regulative technologies are understood as corporate and state efforts to reconstruct control and responsibility for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks within the context of a globalized neoliberal economy. Part 1 presents a conceptual framework for understanding the subjective bases of worker responses to health and safety hazards using Bourdieu’s concept of habitus and the sociology of risk concepts of trust and uncertainty. Part 2 demonstrates the restructuring arguments using three different industry case studies of multiple mines, farms and auto parts plants. The final chapter draws out the implications of the evidence and theory for social change and presents several recommendations for a more worker-centred politics of health and safety. The book will appeal to social scientists interested in health and safety, work, employment relations and labour law, as well as worker advocates and activists.

Rab GTPases now comprise a family of >63 members. They are emerging as the key hub element controlling the membrane architecture of eukaryotic cells. They are intimately involved in vesicle targeting and fusion in both the endocytic and exocytic pathways and direct the assembly and disassembly of protein complexes that include regulators (GEFs and GAPs), effectors (tethers/motors) and fusion components (SNAREs) that control membrane targeting and fusion. During the last 3 years the field has virtually exploded with the identification and characterization of many new Rab proteins and their effectors. Our understanding of how Rab GTPases control membrane function remains at its infancy. This volume of Methods in Enzymology, GTPases Regulating Membrane Targeting and Fusion, provides a wealth of new concepts, approaches and tools to study Rab proteins in the test tube and in living cells that will be of strong benefit to both established laboratories and new investigators in the field to elucidate Rab GTPase function in cellular development, differentiation and proliferation. Comprehensive overview of Rab GTPase phylogeny and systems biology Identification and characterization of Rab GEFs, GAPs and effectors General methodologies to study Rab GTPase function in vitro and in vivo using biochemical, molecular and microscopy approaches

The Story of Bradford traces the city’s history from earliest times to the present, concluding with comments on the issues, challenges, and opportunities that the 21st century will present. Rather than being narrowly focused on local history, the book will attempt to show, where appropriate, how what happened had a wider significance. For example, the chapter on Bradford and the First World War shows that the departure of the German wool merchants in 1914 and the tragedy that befell the Bradford Pals at the Somme had a serious effect not just on the city (which probably never fully recovered) but further afield. While the achievements of the great nineteenth-century wool barons feature, due regard is also given to the condition of the working-class, industrial unrest, including the Manningham Mills Strike that led to the creation of the Independent Labour Party in Bradford. Neither does the author neglect the city’s architectural development and heritage.

The Story of Bradford

The Story of Bradford traces the city’s history from earliest times to the present, concluding with comments on the issues, challenges and opportunities that the 21st century will present. The departure of the German wool merchants in 1914 and the tragedy that befell the Bradford Pals at the Somme had a serious effect not just on the city but further afield, while the achievements of the great nineteenth-century wool barons are contrasted with the condition of the working-class and industrial unrest. The challenge in the new millennium is for Bradford to use its considerable assets - including the architectural development and heritage - to shine as a prosperous and self-confident community.

Gathering No Moss is the autobiography of a possibly autistic child, born in 1925, who, idiosyncratically educated, grew up to see out, as a member of the Colonial Service, the end of the British Empire in East Africa. In later service with the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, he witnessed novice states exulting in new-found independence. His last appointment, as deputy director of the Centre for International Briefing, at Farnham Castle in Surrey, was in an organisation devoted to inculcating, in those going ‘abroad’, better understanding of cross-cultural relations. Post-retirement, he keeps an eye, Pooter-like, on our changing world.

I believe that I will make a better future, is a popular notion of political, religious, educational and business leaders. To believe is to think that something is true or real. This does not mean it is true. Beliefs become opinions, which are fixed and non-negotiable. It is difficult to exchange ideas when a sentence starts with I believe and there is no backup of fact. The belief is irrelevant and the behaviour will determine the state of the future. Western leadership drowns in greed, entitlement, belief and gross ignorance, while those who follow, scrabble for the remnants of bad behaviour. Zionism is a quasi Christian/Jewish belief that has distorted behaviour for 3000 years. Western leaders do not understand that unshared wealth is a crime against humanity.

GTPases that regulate the myriad of membrane fission events that facilitate the assembly and disassembly of COPII (Sar1), COPI (ARF) and clathrin coats (dynamin) involved in exocytic and endocytic trafficking pathways and mitochrondrial organization remain a major challenge for future investigations to understand membrane architecture of eukaryotic cells. This volume of MIE provides a comprehensive set of articles describing the use and application of state-of-the-art methodologies to identify and characterize these GTPases and their rapidly expanding list of regulators and effectors. Methodologies focused on biochemical, molecular and advanced imaging techniques provide a wealth of investigational tools for those currently in the field and those entering the field. Many of the methodologies are generally applicable to study of these GTPases in vitro and in vivo to elucidate function in regulation of cell proliferation and signaling in normal tissue and in disease. *Comprehensive collection of GTPases (ARF, Sar1, Dynamin) GTPases involved in vesicle coat assembly and membrane fission *Identification and characterization of GTPase GEFs, GAPs and effectors *General methodologies to study GTPase function in vitro and in vivo

Acht jaar in handen van mijn ontvoerder Op 23 augustus 2006 om 12.53 uur vlucht een bleke jonge vrouw haar vrij­heid tegemoet. Dit is het moment waar de 18-jarige Natascha Kam­pusch op heeft gewacht sinds de dag dat ze als 10-jarig meisje op weg naar school werd ontvoerd. Na 8 jaar gevangenschap in een onopval­lend Oostenrijks rijtjeshuis, schokt en verbijstert haar verhaal de hele wereld. Hoe overleefde zij een jeugd opgesloten in een kelder? Wat voor jonge vrouw was daaruit tevoorschijn gekomen? Wat voor man was Wolfgang Priklopil, haar ontvoerder die nog diezelfde avond van de ont­snapping voor de trein sprong? En wat had hij van Natascha gevergd? Terwijl de dagen en weken verstrijken en Natascha's tv-interview de publieke nieuwsgierigheid bevredigt, beginnen de vragen van toon te veranderen. Wat voor relatie hadden de kidnapper en zijn slachtoffer precies? Waarom had Natascha zo lang gewacht met haar ontsnap­ping? Is het waar dat haar ouders Priklopil van vroeger kenden? Journalisten Allan Hall en Michael Leidig hebben deze zaak vanaf 1998 gevolgd. Ze hebben gesproken met politiemensen, advocaten, psychiaters en naaste familieleden van Natascha. Hun unieke, indringende verhaal werpt een verhelderend licht op een even raad­selachtige als verbijsterende ontvoeringszaak.

CUT 50% OF YOUR MEETINGS AND IMPROVE THE ONES THAT REMAIN Meetings are essential to collaboration and decision making, but they are often irrelevant, time consuming and badly run. People spend an average of 2 days per week in meetings and 50% of it is wasted. This book will help you win back that wasted day a week by cutting out the half of face to face and virtual meetings that do not need to happen and radically improving the ones that remain. The two authors, one an experienced CEO and consultant to major multinationals, the other a millennial line manager working within one of the world's largest companies, find common ground, and occasional disagreements on creating new ways of meeting both face to face and through technology that are far more engaging and effective for everyone. The book focuses on three main areas: · Dealing with the business and corporate cultural challenges in changing the way we meet · Cutting out the unnecessary topics and participants that make up 50% of todays meetings · Designing and running faster and more focused face to face and online meetings with more relevant content; clearer decisions and actions, and much higher levels of participation Full of examples and practical tools that will improve everything from your regular team meetings to management meetings, online conferences, global meetings and big events. This book will lead you through practical actions and targets to kill the meetings that do not need to happen and radically improve the ones that remain.

The World's Greatest Secrets

Willem de Lint

Massive public protests have had a prominent presence at the turn of the millennium, with many thousands of protestors controlled by small, yet, increasingly specialized police forces. Investigating the ways in which police practices have evolved in relation to labour strikes and protests, Intelligent Control examines the means by which police forces have developed more coercive and consent-based approaches to regulating social unrest. Willem de Lint and Alan Hall argue that police forces have been gradually adapting public order operations to match or reflect wider trends in politics and society. The main such development is the enfolding of neoliberalism. Police and labour and protester adaptations have followed a fine line between legitimacy and illegitimacy, consent and coercion. The authors explore the development of consent policing from its roots in labour strike countering and the emergence of what they call 'intelligent control' from expanded covert, intelligence-gathering operations. A concise study of how police practices changed from the 1960s to the present day, Intelligent Control is an informative account of a revolution in modern policing.
