“…These methods require detailed knowledge of (i) the wave features as a function of the generation mechanism, (ii) the shoreline run-up and (iii) the interaction with structures.Despite a significant increase in research activities after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, there certainly can be -- and needs to be -- more research with the aim to reduce the destruction caused by tsunamis to us and our environment."…”

“…While Brexit is the lens through which rural policy and sustainability are interrogated, this collection demonstrates the underpinning features of rural policy and society, identifying opportunities for addressing deep-seated policy weaknesses thereby creating a more sustainable and equitable rural society. This book brings together academics, established and early career, to discuss the impact of Brexit on rural environmental governance and on the wider sustainability of rural society, relating to three overall themes: rural governance, sustainable land use, and sustainable rural communities. …”

“…In order to undertake this task, a study of the Portuguese urban system with special attention to its medium-sized cities is carried out, followed by a study of the heritage of the two southern Portuguese regions and, to conclude, a selection of six medium-sized cities in the south of Portugal that represent the expression of six paradigms in the treatment and sustainability of urban heritage in cities of this level and that allow to analyse the potentialities of a more balanced future of medium-sized cities in southern Europe…”

“…The book concludes with the recommendation that colleges and universities move toward more dog-friendly campus cultures…”

“…As the author himself explains: Language is a way to understand each other but it is also reductive in the ways that it is abstracted and non-sensuous, and open writing as movement tends to be ignored as autistics are forced into neurotypical ways of seeing, and the thinking around artistic practices feels of a pace that intensifies the use of forms forming, and similarities with open processes are languaging the way of water, making language about artful relations with the more than human. Water is a game of ways and patterns that wave and ripple and can pull us under, the talk is about surfacing but languaging is about feeling, moving the ways that it makes are having variances moving the thresholds in thinking feeling of a rally that comes from cutting the grammars out and that is the way of perception that is cut by grammar and people need art to dance this dance of relation. …”

“…Among key takeaway messages of this book is that diagnostic relativity and uncertainty continue to prevail in the realm of "embolic diseases." Consequently, much more progress is required before we are able to declare success…”

“…In the presence of climate change induced uncertainty, urban water systems need to be more resilient and multi-sourced. Decreasing volumetric rainfall trends have an effect on reservoir yield and operation practices. …”

“…This anthology presents new research that elucidates domestic violence from more diverse perspectives. In the nine chapters, the contributors analyze how types and degrees of violence and abuse can vary depending upon the interplay between such different factors as class, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. …”

“…The great influence of the sessile growth on the effectiveness of the antibiotic therapies is due to both the structure and function of these microbial communities, making these also 1000 times more tolerant to antibiotics and disinfectants. Thus, alternative approaches to the common antibiotic treatments are emerging for preventing and treating both the mono-species and the most frequent multi-species biofilms, including enzymes able to disrupt mature biofilms and new biomaterials for the coating of medical devices to counteract microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. …”

“…In particular, the discussed topics are the "genius loci", the possibility of analysing places through the forms of reverie which undermine the recurrent images marked by accredited methodologies, and finally the inevitably individual in-depth study paths leading to flânerie, which require a more direct contribution than the one given by subjects who practice it. …”

“…Additionally, this book is suitable for middle-to-senior-level administrators or managers who wish to develop more innovative public sector organisations…”

“…With Best Possible Outcome, you'll learn how the military cultivates the mindset, the people, and the processes that ensure success even in tough times. What's more, you'll discover how to systematically implement those lessons within your business. …”

“…The results were not convincing with regards to a possible cardiovascular protective effect. More knowledge is needed about the effects of nonpharmacological interventions…”

“…However, the evidence base for these outcomes were of modest to low quality, and more research is needed to conclude. Several secondary clinical questions on pharmacotherapies for opiate dependence remained unanswered due to gaps in quality research, but it was clear that all three agents were effective in reducing illicit opiate use…”

“…Maternal blood samples taken in gestational week 7 or later provide more reliable results than blood samples taken before week 7. 3. …”

“…However, the problem diminishes the larger and more well-known the study - for major studies of hypertension treatment, it would appear to be small…”

“…Two studies had follow-up data, but no studies had followed the children more than two years. Reported rates of spontaneous abortions varied between 17 and 63 %. …”

“…Conclusion It has not been documented that one or several drugs within the class of ARB are more efficacious or safer than the others in patients with hypertension, heart failure or diabetic nephropathy…”

“…As this was a small-scale study with methodological limitations, we need similar studies with a more robust design, to draw any conclusions.2. Three studies conducted within the health services compared the effect of different interpretation services (in-person interpreter, telephone interpreter, ad hoc interpreter) or bilingual personnel on different outcomes observed for families. …”

“…Although improving the resolution of individual data is essential, the authors argue that the joint and detailed examination of evidence produced together by human and natural scientists is more important for reaching a reliable reconstruction of past people's activities. …”
