From Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798 to the foreign interventions in the ongoing civil wars in Syria, Yemen, and Libya today, global empires or the so-called Great Powers have long assumed the responsibility to bring security in the Middle East. The past two centuries have witnessed their numerous military occupations to 'liberate', 'secure' and 'educate' local populations. They staged first 'humanitarian' interventions in history and established hitherto unseen international and local security institutions. Consulting fresh primary sources collected from some thirty archives in the Middle East, Russia, the United States, and Western Europe, Dangerous Gifts revisits the late e...
This superbly illustrated book is designed to meet the demand for a comprehensive yet concise source of information on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) imaging that covers all aspects of TMJ diagnostics. After introductory chapters on anatomy, histology, and the basics of radiological imaging, detailed guidance is provided on the use and interpretation of radiography, CT, CBCT, ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear medicine techniques. Readers will find clear presentation of the imaging findings in the full range of TMJ pathologies, from intrinsic pathological processes to invasion by lesions of the temporal bone and mandibular condyle. Careful attention is also paid to the technical issues confronted when using different imaging modalities, and the means of resolving them. The role of interventional radiology is examined, and consideration given to the use of arthrography and arthrography-guided steroid treatment. In addition, an overview of recent advances in research on TMJ diagnostics is provided. Imaging of the Temporomandibular Joint has been written by an international team of dedicated authors and will be of high value to clinicians in their daily practice.
In A History of Ottoman Political Thought up to the Early Nineteenth Century, Marinos Sariyannis offers a survey of Ottoman political texts, examined in a book-length study for the first time. From the last glimpses of gazi ideology and the first instances of Persian political philosophy in the fifteenth century until the apologists of Western-style military reform in the early nineteenth century, the author studies a multitude of theories and views, focusing on an identification of ideological trends rather than a simple enumeration of texts and authors. At the same time, the book offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English.
The threat landscape is evolving with tremendous speed. We are facing an extremely fast-growing attack surface with a diversity of attack vectors, a clear asymmetry between attackers and defenders, billions of connected IoT devices, mostly reactive detection and mitigation approaches, and finally big data challenges. The clear asymmetry of attacks and the enormous amount of data are additional arguments to make it necessary to rethink cybersecurity approaches in terms of reducing the attack surface, to make the attack surface dynamic, to automate the detection, risk assessment, and mitigation, and to investigate the prediction and prevention of attacks with the utilization of emerging techno...
This book focuses on applications of micro CT, CBCT and CT in medicine and engineering, comprehensively explaining the basic principles of these techniques in detail, and describing their increasing use in the imaging field. It particularly highlights the scanning procedure, which represents the most crucial step in micro CT, and discusses in detail the reconstruction process and the artifacts related to the scanning processes, as well as the imaging software used in analysis. Written by international experts, the book illustrates the application of micro CT in different areas, such as dentistry, medicine, tissue engineering, aerospace engineering, geology, material engineering, civil engineering and additive manufacturing. Covering different areas of application, the book is of interest not only to specialists in the respective fields, but also to broader audience of professionals working in the fields of imaging and analysis, as well as to students of the different disciplines.
Fiber and Textile Engineering in Drug Delivery Systems explains how innovative textile processing methods including rotary spinning, microfluidics, wet spinning and electrospinning can be used to produce novel drug delivery solutions. This topical book provides detailed descriptions of how to produce such new materials for this purpose, with foundational content to help readers from a range of backgrounds understand the context of material selection and design decisions. Emphasis is given to the engineering side of the manufacturing of the textile and its role in drug delivery, but this also acts as a guide to pharmaceutical applications of textile fibers for materials scientists. Drug deliv...
Osmanlı tarihini devlet-toplum karşıtlığı üzerinden okuyan ve özellikle İmparatorluğun uzun on dokuzuncu yüzyılında yaşanan siyasal çatışmaları milliyetçiliklerin kaçınılmaz mücadelesini merkeze alarak açıklamaya çalışan hâkim yaklaşımlar, giderek daha fazla itiraz ve eleştiriyle karşılaşmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, söz konusu hâkim yaklaşımların yerini alabilecek, bütünlüklü bir alternatif anlatının inşası için daha fazla kuramsal tartışma ve ampirik araştırmaya duyulan ihtiyaç azalmamıştır. Bu ihtiyacın giderilmesinde hayati önem taşıyan sınıf mücadelesi odaklı çözümlemeler, Osmanlı tarihyazımının ‘‘kayıp halkası...
Reşad Ekrem'in dilinde tarih gerçek hayattan daha canlı, daha güzel, daha büyülü... 1596'da Haçova Savaşı'nda düşmandan kaçan Anadolu tımarlı sipahilerinin dirlikleri kaldırıldı, kendileri de ölüm cezasına çarptırıldılar. "Af ve aman kapısı kapanınca onlar da baş kaygısına düştü, köyünü kentini bıraktı, selameti dağda derbentte gördü. Halli halince, at uşağını, yanaşmalarını, çobanını ve ırgadını, köylüsünden de silah tutan birkaç delikanlıyı ya rızasıyla veya cebren ve kahren peşine takıp götürdü ve böylece Anadolu'da bir şekavet başladı; meyve ağacını saran tırtıllar gibi." Reşad Ekrem Koçu, 1599'da Urfalı Karayazıcı Abdülhalim'in isyan bayrağının altına toplanmış 40.000 Celali ile başlayan ve kimi zaman padişahlık davasına kadar varan isyanları anlatıyor.
