It considers the debates surrounding academic freedom, institutional governance, educational policy, mission and identity together with institutions' relations with the state and their wider communities. A wide range of institutions are examined, including: Christian, Islamic and Jewish universities in the US, Europe and the Middle East. Essentially, this volume questions whether such institutions can be both religious and a 'university' and also considers the appropriate role ofChristian universities and collegesReligious educationUniversities and collegesEducation, HigherElectronic books.Christian universities and colleges.Religious education.Universities and colleges.Education, Higher.378.07Arthur James1957,891133MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910348236503321Faith and secularisation in religious colleges and universities1990437UNINA03342nam 2200673 450 991021997000332120230807193940.00-8330-9154-9(CKB)3710000000497852(EBL)4054896(SSID)ssj0001562598(PQKBManifestationID)16210880(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001562598(PQKBWorkID)14820376(PQKB)10358924(MiAaPQ)EBC4054896(EXLCZ)99371000000049785220151113h20152015 uh 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAmerica's security deficit addressing the imbalance between strategy and resources in a turbulent world /David Ochmanek [et al.]Santa Monica, CA :RAND Corporation,2015.©20151 online resource (35 pages) color chartsStrategic RethinkDescription based upon print version of record.0-8330-9151-4 Includes bibliographical references.America's security deficit -- Changing demands on defense -- Readiness -- Enhancing allied defenses -- Choices for sizing the defense budget."This report is the second in RAND's ongoing Strategic Rethink series, in which RAND experts explore the elements of a national strategy for the conduct of U.S. foreign and security policy in this administration and the next. The report analyzes defense options available to the United States in responding to the re-emergence of a belligerent Russia, the seizure of significant territory in Iraq and Syria by violent extremists, growing Chinese military power and assertiveness, and other threats to U.S. security and interests. It focuses on ways that the United States might adapt military instruments to meet these emerging challenges, assessing in broad terms the cost of defense investments commensurate with the interests at stake. The report argues that currently projected levels of defense spending are insufficient to meet the demands of an ambitious national security strategy"--Publisher's descriptionStrategic rethink.National securityUnited StatesNational securityUnited StatesEconomic aspectsWorld politics21st centurySecurity, International21st centuryTerrorismPreventionInternational cooperation21st centuryUnited StatesDefensesUnited StatesArmed ForcesAppropriations and expendituresUnited StatesForeign relations21st centuryDecision makingUnited StatesArmed ForcesOperational readinessUnited StatesStrategic aspectsNational securityNational securityEconomic aspects.World politicsSecurity, InternationalTerrorismPreventionInternational cooperation355/.033573Ochmanek David A.869935Rand CorporationMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219970003321America's security deficit2884574UNINA03512nam 2200613 a 450 991078071510332120230816125743.01-62198-164-91-84973-098-9(CKB)2480000000006813(EBL)1185176(OCoLC)823728351(SSID)ssj0000578383(PQKBManifestationID)12225699(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000578383(PQKBWorkID)10578236(PQKB)10084608(MiAaPQ)EBC1185176(Au-PeEL)EBL1185176(CaPaEBR)ebr10627698(CaONFJC)MIL872472(PPN)198471920(EXLCZ)99248000000000681320120411d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrApplied thermodynamics of fluids[electronic resource] /edited by A.R.H.

Concentrating on the application of theory, the practical use of each type of equation is discussed and the strengths and weaknesses of each are addressed. It includes material on the equations of state for chemically reacting and non-equilibrium fluids which have undergone significant developments and brings up to date the equations of state for fluids and fluid mFluidsThermal propertiesFluidsThermal properties.530.42541.369Goodwin A.
