This book contains a collection of the main contributions from the third edition of the NICFD conference, organized by the Special Interest Group on Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid Dynamics (SIG-49). It provides insight on the latest research findings in the field of NICFD that are relevant to a number of engineering applications related to the conversion of renewable and waste energy sources, like organic Rankine cycles, supercritical CO2 cycle power plants, combustors operating with supercritical fluids, and heat pumps. The various chapters of the book document research encompassing theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of the gas dynamics of non-ideal reactive and non-reactive flows and their impact for the design of internal flow components (turbomachinery, heat exchangers, combustors). Since the accurate calculation of fluid thermo-physical properties is of great concern in NICFD, all the chapters address this problem by describing state-of-the-art models for the characterization of the properties of pure fluids and mixtures.

This volume studies the profile of one of the most important figures of sixteenth-century Florence, Giovan Battista Gelli, highlighting some less studied aspects generally believed to be marginal in the context of his work. Not only was Gelli deeply interested in figurative art, attested in several works of his, he can also be considered one of the protagonists of the vivid sixteenth-century debates on Dante.

Have you noticed there is a burgeoning take up of visual research in education? Are you considering using visual research as part of your next research project or revitalising your research methods course? For researchers who are new to the field of VRMs in education there is little critical literature on the subject. This book addresses the gap in the literature and brings together some of the leading educational researchers engaging and reflecting on the visual from Australia, the UK and Canada. Encapsulated in a single volume, this book sets out theoretically grounded discussions of the possibilities and challenges of the approach for educational researchers around four key themes: images of schooling, performing pedagogy, power and representation and ethical issues in educational research.

This book presents data that challenges the long-established view that separation anxiety disorder should be reserved for diagnosis among children and adolescents by demonstrating that adult-onset is prevalent in many countries and that adult-onset separation anxiety disorder is just as persistent and impairing as the pediatric-onset form. Separation anxiety disorder in adulthood is associated with high levels of disability. Research and clinical data indicate that overlooking the diagnosis of adult separation anxiety disorder may result in substantial costs in the form of disability and suffering. Over the last decades, the Psychiatry School of Pisa, in the person of Director Giovanni B. Cassano, M.D. and Stefano Pini, M.D. has conducted seminal studies in this area and brought research data into clinical practice. At the same time, the Pisa School has made a paramount contribution to the DSM-5 reformulation of adult separation anxiety disorder, which has since been transferred to the Anxiety Disorders chapter. Barbara Milrod, M.D. is an unusual clinical investigator. She has conducted clinical research in separation anxiety disorder, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder for the past two decades. She has incorporated separation anxiety constructs into her approach to mechanisms of psychotherapy research across these disorders, and in affect-focused psychotherapies. The book consists of 10 chapters organized into two sections: a General Principles Section and Diagnosis and Treatment Section. The first section focuses on the biological underpinnings of separation anxiety and on the historical pathways that led to its DSM-5 categorization; the second elaborates on clinical topics, preventive strategies and treatments. This book will help the reader to understand and diagnose separation anxiety disorder and to bear it in mind during the differential diagnosis of patients of all ages presenting not only with anxiety but also with a variety of psychiatric and behavioral disorders.

Over the past decade, the video camera has become a commonplace household technology. With falling prices on compact and easy-to-use cameras, as well as mobile phones and digital still cameras with video recording capabilities, access to moving image production technology is becoming virtually universal. Home Truths? represents one of the few academic research studies exploring this everyday, popular use of video production technology, looking particularly at how families use and engage with the technology and how it fits into the routines of everyday life.The authors draw on interviews, observations, and the participants' videos themselves, seeking to paint a comprehensive picture of the role of video making in their everyday lives. While readers gain a sense of the individual characters involved in the project and the complexities and diversities of their lives, the analysis also raises a range of broader issues about the nature of learning and creativity, subjectivity and representation, and the "domestication" of technology---issues that are of interest to many in the fields of sociology and media/cultural studies.
