Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership Unholy Alliance

The nexus between terrorism and organised crime consists of a strategic alliance between two non-state actors who are able to exploit illegal markets threaten the security of individuals and influence policy-making on a global level. Recent Europol reports have pointed towards the importance of studying the links between organised crime and terrorist groups and have underlined that the nature and extent of these connections have seldom been addressed from an academic perspective. Considering the danger that both organised crime and terrorism currently pose to the world the collusion between these two phenomena is of urgent contemporary interest. Basing itself on geographical case-studies this book contributes to the existing literature in three ways: by enriching the empirical knowledge on the nature of the crime-terror nexus and its evolution; by exploring the impact of the nexus within different economic political and societal contexts; and by expanding on its theoretical conceptualization. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime. | Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership Unholy Alliance

London Patidars A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity

First Published in 1980 London Patidars presents the case study of the Patidars a landowning caste from the Indian state of Gujarat in London. Patidars being the landowning caste has taken over much of the ideology of the merchant castes. This ‘merchant ideal’ is a central part of their self-image. It is an incitement to initiative in business and to some extent their actual economic behaviour does reflect the ideal. But the cases studied do not all conform to this ideal and they pose questions: How does this particular type of ethnic boundary relate to the opportunities of the individual Patidar? Why and how is this boundary maintained? Harald Tambs-Lyche concludes that the form given to the ethnic boundary is advantageous to many Patidars but not to all in the same degree. This raises problems which potentially could change the present pattern. Other potential problems relate to their relationship with the English. As successful merchants they risk becoming objects of envy like formerly the Jewish community. This book is a must read for scholars of ethnic and race relations and sociology. | London Patidars A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity

Morphodynamics

Morphodynamics is defined as the unique interaction among environment functional morphology developmental constraints phylogeny and time—all of which shape the evolution of life. These fabricational patterns and similarities owe their regularity not to a detailed genetic program but to extrinsic factors which may be mechanical chemical or biological in nature. These self-organizing mechanisms are the focus of Morphodynamics. Illustrated by numerous examples from across the biological spectrum this book embodies the foundation of noted paleontologist Adolf Seilacher’s thinking on the study of morphodynamics. It represents his unique approach of presenting paleontology from an ecological and constructional perspective rather than a purely taxonomic one. The hallmark of Seilacher’s storied career has been a constructional and functional focus. He begins by discussing the basic principles—form pattern formation ecology and evolution as well as the factors that override those processes. Next he examines how morphodynamic principles are implemented in various invertebrates including single-celled protists Ediacarans sponges coelenterates shelled organisms worms arthropods and echinoderms. The final chapter explores how morphogenetic principles may apply to clonal colonial organisms. Summarizing seventy years of research into the interactions of form function and evolution the book is copiously illustrated with the author’s own distinctive drawings and an abundance of photos. It provides a framework for readers to pose their own questions and sharpen their interpretive skills on this fascinating topic.

Social Contract Theory for a Diverse World Beyond Tolerance

Very diverse societies pose real problems for Rawlsian models of public reason. This is for two reasons: first public reason is unable accommodate diverse perspectives in determining a regulative ideal. Second regulative ideals are unable to respond to social change. While models based on public reason focus on the justification of principles this book suggests that we need to orient our normative theories more toward discovery and experimentation. The book develops a unique approach to social contract theory that focuses on diverse perspectives. It offers a new moral stance that author Ryan Muldoon calls The View From Everywhere which allows for substantive fundamental moral disagreement. This stance is used to develop a bargaining model in which agents can cooperate despite seeing different perspectives. Rather than arguing for an ideal contract or particular principles of justice Muldoon outlines a procedure for iterated revisions to the rules of a social contract. It expands Mill's conception of experiments in living to help form a foundational principle for social contract theory. By embracing this kind of experimentation we move away from a conception of justice as an end state and toward a conception of justice as a trajectory. Listen to Robert Talisse interview Ryan Muldoon about Social Contract Theory for a Diverse World on the podcast New Books in Philosophy: http://tinyurl. com/j9oq324 Also read Ryan Muldoon’s related Niskanen Center article Diversity and Disagreement are the Solution Not the Problem published Jan. 10 2017: https://niskanencenter. org/blog/diversity-disagreement-solution-not-problem/ | Social Contract Theory for a Diverse World Beyond Tolerance

VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes

Error-correcting codes are ubiquitous. They are adopted in almost every modern digital communication and storage system such as wireless communications optical communications Flash memories computer hard drives sensor networks and deep-space probing. New-generation and emerging applications demand codes with better error-correcting capability. On the other hand the design and implementation of those high-gain error-correcting codes pose many challenges. They usually involve complex mathematical computations and mapping them directly to hardware often leads to very high complexity. VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes serves as a bridge connecting advancements in coding theory to practical hardware implementations. Instead of focusing on circuit-level design techniques the book highlights integrated algorithmic and architectural transformations that lead to great improvements on throughput silicon area requirement and/or power consumption in the hardware implementation. The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of available techniques and architectures so that they can be easily followed by system and hardware designers to develop en/decoder implementations that meet error-correcting performance and cost requirements. This book can be also used as a reference for graduate-level courses on VLSI design and error-correcting coding. Particular emphases are placed on hard- and soft-decision Reed-Solomon (RS) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes and binary and non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. These codes are among the best candidates for modern and emerging applications due to their good error-correcting performance and lower implementation complexity compared to other codes. To help explain the computations and en/decoder architectures many examples and case studies are included. More importantly discussions are provided on the advantages and drawbacks of different implementation approaches and architectures.
