Offers information necessary for the development of mathematical models and numerical techniques to solve specific drying problems. The book addresses difficult issues involved with the drying equations of numerical analysis, including mesh generation, discretization strategies, the nonlinear equation set and the linearized algebraic system, convergence criteria, time step control, experimental validation, optimum methods of visualization results, and more.

For many, human rights have become a panacea for the injustices of society: globalisation, poverty, discrimination, climate change etc. But has this rights ‘inflation’ been a prima facie good? Has the rise in human rights merely propounded a self-centred individualism, exacerbating the marginalisation of large swathes of society who are already socially excluded? Rightly, human rights have been the subject of a multitude of criticisms, from a range of critical perspectives: Marxism, critical legal studies, communitarianism, feminism, critical race theory, etc. However, this unique study pushes back against this tide of ‘anti-rights,’ providing an original defence of human rights from the perspective of a progressive political community of rights-holders and duty-bearers. Possessing rights might place a rights-holder at the centre of their moral universe, to the exclusion of all others, but that holder of rights cannot expect others to bear the duty of their rights without exercising the same obligation to the rights of others in return. So, far from emphasising isolation and self-interest, responsibilities arising from the exercise of rights engender a keen sense of solidarity, a principle integral to critical legal theory. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Human Rights, Constitutional Law and Legal and Political Theory.

This book provides a thorough step-by-step guide to strategic thinking. Designed to take executives and management teams through the strategy process in a logical fashion, the book is aimed particularly at managers in medium-sized businesses or in business units within larger companies. This book provides a thorough introduction to the concepts surrounding business strategy, enabling managers to develop their strategic thinking for business success. It includes practical examples to illustrate concepts as well as pro-forma planning sheets to record the results of the planning exercise as you go through.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the 'Forum "Math-for-Industry" 2016 ' (FMfl2016), held at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia, on November 21–23, 2016. The theme for this unique and important event was “Agriculture as a Metaphor for Creativity in All Human Endeavors”, and it brought together leading international mathematicians and active researchers from universities and industry to discuss current challenging topics and to promote interactive collaborations between mathematics and industry. The success of agricultural practice relies fundamentally on its interconnections with and dependence on biology and the environment. Both play essential roles, including the biological adaption to cope with environmental challenges of biotic and abiotic stress and global warming. The book highlights the development of mathematics within this framework that successful agricultural practice depends upon and exploits.
