Introduction to Part I of the Special Issue

The proliferation of racially charged incidents in the United States, Europe, Australia and across the world (Dastagir, 2017; Harris & Bogel-Burroughs; Politi, 2016), along with surmounting hate crimes against women, immigrants, LGBTQ+ identified people, and ethnoreligious populations, such as Muslim and Jewish communities (Potok,  2017), have brought an insurgence of activism. The activism, along with the persistence of local, national and transnational community organizing efforts, grassroots mobilization, coalitional emergent strategies, and waves of social movements, have all been aimed at disrupting institutionalized racism and the assemblages of racialized colonial violence. The jaws of colonial power -- as well as colonialism and coloniality that manifest as anti-Black racism, nativism, and intersecting forms of oppression implicated in racialized violence -- must be disrupted and dismantled

Introduction to Theoretical Seismology: Part I, Geodynamics [Book Review]

The present volume on Geodynamics forms Part I of the cooperative treatise on Theoretical Seismology, of which Part II, Seismometry, by F. W. Sohon, S.J., which deals with the instruments and their records, was published in 1932. The book contains eleven chapters: Stresses in an elastic solid; Elastic strain; Relations between stress and strain; Elastic body waves; Surface waves on the plane boundary of an isotropic elastic solid; Vector treatment of elastic waves; Reflection and refraction of elastic waves; Paths of seismic waves; Interpretation of seismograms; Determination of epicenters; Depth of focus. The book is of outstanding value for everybody looking for the details of the classical theory of earthquake waves. It also gives a good cross section through the results which have been found from records. The book will be of greatest value for those interested in the fundamental theory of the propagation of earthquake waves. "The book has grown out of class room lectures given by the author" and has been drawn "particularly from the two classical works, Vorlesungen über Seismometrie by B. Galitzin and The Mathematical Theory of Elasticity by A. E. Love." It is to be hoped that very soon other volumes will follow on the problems connected with the origin of earthquakes, and on the recent developments of the theory of earthquake waves by Jeffreys, several Japanese and other seismologists

Introduction to biomedical engineering: biomechanics and bioelectricity - part I

LectureIntended as an introduction to the field of biomedical engineering, this book covers the topics of biomechanics (Part I) and bioelectricity (Part II). Each chapter emphasizes a fundamental principle or law, such as Darcy's Law, Poiseuille's Law, Hooke's Law, Starling's law, levers and work in the area of fluid, solid, and cardiovascular biomechanics. In addition, electrical laws and analysis tools are introduced, including Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff 's Laws, Coulomb's Law, capacitors and the fluid/electrical analogy. Culminating the electrical portion are chapters covering Nernst and membrane potentials and Fourier transforms. Examples are solved throughout the book and problems with answers are given at the end of each chapter. A semester-long Major Project that models the human systemic cardiovascular system, utilizing both a Matlab numerical simulation and an electrical analog circuit, ties many of the book's concepts together
