William Whiston succeeded Sir Isaac Newton as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge in 1703. Like his predecessor, Whiston presents an interesting combination of the scientific and the theological mind, but whereas Newton carefully concealed the true nature of his religious beliefs, Whiston, a well-known preacher, did not. This is the first modern full-length study of Whiston's Newtonian rapprochement between science and religion. Professor Force examines the writings in which Whiston applies his Newtonian Biblical interpretation to social, political, and theological issues in the context of the Newtonian movement at the turn of the eighteenth century. The book revises the conventional view of Whiston as a figure peripheral to the Newtonian movement and reveals the nature of Whiston's 'Newtonianism' and his individual eccentricities. It also offers valuable insights into Newton himself and the religious beliefs he so often concealed.

In response to a continuing high loss of commercial fishing vessels and crews, the U.S. Congress has mandated development of new safety requirements for the industry. This volume provides a blueprint for an integrated national safety program that responds realistically to industry conditions, with priority on the most cost-effective alternatives. "Fishing Vessel Safety" addresses the role of the U.S. Coast Guard and the fishing industry and evaluates such safety measures as vessel inspection and registration, and the training and licensing of fishermen. It explores vessel condition, the role of human behaviour, the problem of weather prediction, the high cost of insurance, and more.

In Tudor and Stuart Britain, women writers were shaped by their culture, but they also helped to shape and reproduce culture through their writing, their patronage and their network of family and friends. Although they submitted to the cultural constraints of femininity, women helped to fashion gender roles. Denied positions of power in government - with the exception of queens - women sought to influence their society's politics through their writings and personal relationships. Through the lens of cultural studies, the editors explore women's material culture, women as agents in reproducing culture, popular culture and women's pamphlets, and women's bodies as inscriptions of culture. As the only collection on early modern British women's writing to draw primarily on feminist cultural studies, this book covers new ground, especially in the scope and breadth of the authors surveyed. In addition to essays by the editors on Mary Queen of Scots, poetry and gift exchange, Lady mary Wroth's anti-absolutist sonnets, and Elizabeth Cary's portrait of the queen in Edward II, the book includes Margaret Hannay on class in Pembroke's psalms, Mary Ellen Lamb on Aemilia Lanyer and patronage, Elaine Beilin on Anne Dowriche's Protestant history, Barbara McManus on the pamphlet controversy about women, and Carole Levin on the assimilation of female saints into reformation England.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Cryptography and Coding held at the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in Cirencester, UK, in December 1997. The 35 revised full papers presented emphasize the links and commonality between the underlying mathematical bases and algorithmic foundations of cryptography, error control coding and digital signal processing devices available today. Besides classical crypto topics, other issues concerning information transmission and processing are addressed, such as multiple-access coding, image processing, synchronization and sequence design.

Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology This new Edition of the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology is built on the solid foundation of the previous editions. All of the articles in this edition are new and reflect the current state-of-the-art on the subject covered. Many new subjects are included to reflect changes in chemical technology through the 1970s and into the early 1980s. This new edition, however, will be familiar to users of the earlier editions: comprehensive, authoritative, lucid. Kirk-Othmer remains an indispensable information source for all producers and users of chemical products and materials. Emphasis in this Third Edition is given to important present-day topics of concern to all chemists, scientists, and engineers: energy, health, safety, toxicology, and new materials. New subjects have been added especially to polymer and plastics technology, fuels and energy, inorganics and solid-state chemistry, composite materials, coatings, fermentation and enzymes, pharmaceuticals, surfactant technology, fibers, and textiles. Excerpts from reviews of the Third Edition "…invaluable…should find a place in all libraries used by chemists." —Microchemical Journal "…'bible' of chemical technologists… normally a part of any library." —Electrochemical Progress "…initial volume … an excellent start in bringing forth new knowledge in composite form." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "… a whole new encyclopedia … well illustrated … really impressed with the quality." —Chemical Engineering "…an invaluable source of authoritative information…" —Chemical Processing "Kirk-Othmer is universally regarded as a reference work of par excellence. It stands supreme in the field of chemical technology…" —The Chemical Engineer "Libraries that can afford the investment … would be well advised to make room for this valuable source." —Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

This volume is a result of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on “Smart Materials for Energy, Communications and Security” held in Marrakech, Morocco, December 2007 in frame of the NATO - Science for Peace program. Its objective is to overview several hot topics of material physics related with technological problems of modern society with the focus of their implementation in Mediterranean Dialogue countries: Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia. The articles are written by world famous experts in materials science and engineering. They review the state of art, recent achievements, possible and already implemented applications in the following fields of materials science: Materials for transmission, treatment and storage of information, multiferroic, magnetic and superconducting materials for spintronics, electrochromic and nitride-based semiconducting materials for infrared and optoelectronic devices, carbon-based terahertz electronic technologies, memory- capacious materials. Energy storage materials and photovoltaic cells Piezo and Electroactive materials for detectors, acoustic transducers and gas sensors. Functional materials for electronics, environmental security, measurement and characterisation techniques.
