Does religious extremism represent an inevitable consequence of firmly held beliefs in life-and-death situations? Is there a way out? Gathering ethicists and scholars from the three major and often conflicting monotheistic traditions, each was asked to correlate a religious tradition's sacred texts and tradition with the contemporary world's pluralism and claims about the inalienable sanctity and dignity of human life. The result is that the reader sees "human life before God" in new and profound ways. Contributors include: Hilary Putnam Abdulaziz Sachedina Lisa Sowle Cahill Michael Fishbane...

Process Control Performance Assessment is a practical guide to the application of control benchmarking to real, complex, industrial processes. It presents commercial solutions as well as current and future techniques still under development and contains real full-scale-implementation industrial case studies from the oil and gas, power and chemical industries providing a hierarchical perspective on benchmarks. The effect of benchmarking and control tuning on process performance and revenue optimisation is demonstrated.
The most frequently occurring practical issues...

Equal accessibility to public places and services is now required by law in many countries. In the case of the vision-impaired, it is often the use of specialised technology which can provide them with a fuller enjoyment of all the facilities of society from large scale meetings and public entertainments to the more personal level of reading a book or making music. In this volume the engineering and design principles and techniques used in assistive technology for blind and vision-impaired people are explained.
Features:
instruction in the physiology of the human visual...

The industrial evidence is that for many control problems, particularly those of the process industries, theProportional, Integral andDerivative(PID) controller is themaincontrol tool beingused. Forthese industrial problems, the PID control module is a building block which provides the regulation and disturbance rejection for single loop, cascade, multi-loop and multi-input multi-output control schemes. Over the decades, PID control technology has undergone many changes and today the controller may be a standard utility routine within the supervisory system software, a dedicated ha- ware...

The environment young people are growing up in today is much different in many ways than it was fifty years ago, even 25 years ago, and yet in many ways it is the same. It is different in that styles have changed, but very much the same in the fact that the spirit of man, at its core, is vulnerable to the same temptations as those of yesteryear. This book is an offering of wisdom and reason based upon the Bible to help couples enter a relationship that will last and that will be pleasing to God. While there may be many books on the subject, this small volume is quick and easy to read. In the...
