The Beautiful Necessity: Essays on Architecture
by Joan Shelley Rubin Claude Bragdon A Joan SaabA noted American architect of the early twentieth century discusses universal principles behind the harmonious forms and proportions of ancient and modern buildings. Seven essays by Claude Bragdon offer a master class in the architectural union of art, beauty, and science. His observations and analyses encompass a tremendous variety of buildings, from Gothic cathedrals to Giotto's Campanile to the Taj Mahal, and his examples extend far beyond architecture to the natural symmetry found in the feathers of a peacock's tail, snowflakes, plants, and the human face."Art in all its manifestations is an expression of the cosmic life," notes the author, "and its symbols constitute a language by means of which this life is published and represented. Art is at all times subject to the 'Beautiful Necessity' of proclaiming the 'world order'." Bragdon's theories are illuminated by his graceful black-and-white line drawings, which portray the essentials of line and proportion as expressed in many well-known buildings and paintings.

Matrix Variate Distributions (Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics #104)
by A K Gupta D K NagarUseful in physics, economics, psychology, and other fields, random matrices play an important role in the study of multivariate statistical methods. Until now, however, most of the material on random matrices could only be found scattered in various statistical journals. Matrix Variate Distributions gathers and systematically presents most of the recent developments in continuous matrix variate distribution theory and includes new results.After a review of the essential background material, the authors investigate the range of matrix variate distributions, including:matrix variate normal distributionWishart distributionMatrix variate t-distributionMatrix variate beta distributionF-distributionMatrix variate Dirichlet distributionMatrix quadratic formsWith its inclusion of new results, Matrix Variate Distributions promises to stimulate further research and help advance the field of multivariate statistical analysis.
Implementation of Basel Accords in Bangladesh: The Role of Institutions
by Yasushi Suzuki A K HasanThis book analyzes the impact of Basel Accord in Bangladesh. More specifically, it focuses on the credit risk homogenization under standardized approach of Basel Accord where External Credit Rating Agencies (ECAIs) are allowed to rate the exposures, the potential risk of allowing sub-ordinated debt (Sub-debt) as Tier 2 capital, and multiple bank distress cases as a real-world scenarios. In doing so, the book explores why the ECAIs rating fail to capture the real credit risk of exposure and to what extent sub-debt is reliable as regulatory capital. With that, the book's scope is categorized into three tracts (i) analyzes the ECAIs incentive and sanction issues from institutional economics perspective (ii) discusses the ill-impact of Naïve adoption of sub-ordinated debt as regulatory capital and its associated risk on financial system, and (iii) providing readers an empirical illustrations of bank distress when an economy tapped into institutional failures in the above-mentioned tracts (i) and (ii).
Engineering Dynamics: Fundamentals and Applications
by M Rashad Islam A K Mazumder Mahbub AhmedThis textbook is intended for the first course of engineering dynamics for undergraduate students. Engineering dynamics is a rigorous topic that typically involves the intensive use of vector mathematics and calculus. This book, however, uses plain language with less vector mathematics and calculus to introduce these topics of mathematics to students with a high school physics background. Numerous practical examples are provided with their step-by-step worked out solutions, as well as case studies to reflect the interests of new engineering and applied engineering students. The topics covered in the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination are presented throughout the text. It also includes roadway dynamics to incorporate engineering dynamics and transportation engineering for civil engineering. Features: Discusses theory using easy-to-understand language with less vector mathematics and calculus Includes practical case studies and numerous realistic step-by-step solved examples Includes exercise problems for students’ practice Provides numerous sample examples related to the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam Includes a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for adopting instructors Engineering Dynamics: Fundamentals and Applications serves as a useful resource for students across several engineering degree programs, such as civil, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, chemical, and electrical engineering.

Rationalizing Migration Decisions: Labour Migrants in East and South-East Asia
by A K UllahWhile decisions for working overseas are often based on expectations and promises of better jobs, opportunities, economic gains and, eventually, a better future, such assumptions may not always be realized. Focusing on the question of why migrants, despite not realizing their earlier aspirations, continue to remain as migrants rather than return home, this book provides a unified understanding of the rationalization of the migration decision making. It does so by empirically situating the study in the experiences of Bangladeshi migrant workers in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
The Post-Pandemic World and Global Politics
by A K Ullah Jannatul FerdousThe book examines the impact of COVID-19 on economic and political processes, contending that the global reaction to the pandemic has been the largest failure in scientific policy in a generation. Unlike earlier crises, it has impacted the world's leading economies while also paralyzing international ties, provoking diverse and far-reaching reactions. The authors posit that no effective global response has been launched in response to this global catastrophe. Rather, governments have implemented a variety of policies based on the costs of virus protection against financial closure and isolation. In doing so, there has been a resurgence in nationalism. This book aims to provide comprehensive understanding of how the pandemic has widened political gaps, and demarcates what the long-term consequences might be in terms of policies and economics in the wake of the pandemic. Of interest to scholars in political geography, development studies, international relations, public administration, and health science, this book presents key observations on existing theories of global politics pivoted around the COVID-19 pandemic, and its ramifications on individuals, groups, and ultimately, the nation state.
