Acoustics of Small Rooms

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms such as auditoria but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them. Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of physics sound perception and applications for small spaces Acoustics of Small Rooms brings together important facets of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections it covers: Sound propagation—the effects of boundaries sound absorbers and time conditions Physiology and psychoacoustics Methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization Examples of how these principles apply in real situations Measurement and modeling techniques

Small Farms Persistence With Legitimation

Small Farms Persistence With Legitimation

Why do small farms continue to coexist with ever-larger farming operations in advanced Western societies? Through a thorough case study of Italy and a comparative analysis of small farms in the United States Dr. Bonanno seeks to answer this question exploring the complex relationships among farm family members’ ideology and behavior the small farm economic sector and the interaction of small farms within the relevant spheres of society. He finds that at the structural level a lack of occupational alternatives and contradictions within both labor and land markets often force farmers to retain marginal farms despite personal dissatisfaction. At the ideological level many farm families display deep attachment to the agrarian way of life and cite this as a fundamental reason for not leaving the farm for other work. Dr. Bonanno also analyzes the role of small farms within the social system and concludes that they serve a legitimative function. This legitimative role fosters contradictions within the social and economic systems that the state is unable to resolve thus contributing to the continuation of a dual structure in agricultural development-Ö¾large and very large farms at one end of the scale and marginal but persistent small farms at the other. | Small Farms Persistence With Legitimation

The Rotating European Union Council Presidency and Small Member States Small States Big Challenge

The Rotating European Union Council Presidency and Small Member States Small States Big Challenge

The Rotating European Union Council Presidency and Small Member States explores the opportunities and burdens for small states of holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. While the functions and the achievements of the Council presidencies have been widely studied on the EU level this book adopts the inverse and underresearched perspective of looking at the “domestic” impact of the Council presidency on the Member State specifically small Member States. Combining new institutionalist theoretical approaches under the concept of Europeanisation and employing both qualitative and quantitative methods this book explores whether the Council presidency leads to the Europeanisation of national polities and politics. More specifically the book looks at the impact of the Council presidency on national administrations ministers and public opinion. It suggests that the Council presidency presents a unique opportunity to (re) engage with EU affairs and institutions for small Member States especially those holding the position for the first time. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students researchers and academics of International Relations and European Integration specifically those interested in small states in the European Union or the rotating European Union Council presidency. | The Rotating European Union Council Presidency and Small Member States Small States Big Challenge

Focussing on the relatively few small firms which grew rapidly this book originally published in 1993 uses face-to-face interviews as well as published records to identify and analyse the managerial factors most closely associated with successful small firms. The volume concentrates on the following key managerial issues: In what respects do the managerial backgrounds and aspirations of the founders of fast-growth small firms differ from those of non-fast-growth small firms? How is the process of growth managed? What incentives remuneration packages and communication systems are instituted? How do these characteristics and experiences differ in fast-growth small firms from both the traditional small firm and large-firm sector? To what extent is it possible to explain the relative economic performance of small firms in terms of differences in their ownership organizational and management structures. | Managerial Labour Markets in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories is the first publication to consider the ‘creative’ side of enterprise in small island states and territories. Rather than playing out as remote vulnerable and dependent backwaters of neo-colonialism the world’s small island states and territories (with resident populations of less than 1 million) show considerable resourcefulness in facing up to the very real challenges of their predicament. The creative endeavours of their residents facilitated by adroit public policy has created economic and investment opportunities that translate into some private sector employment and decent livelihoods for many. Their ingenuity coupled with strategic investments and the support of the diaspora has led to a suite of (sometimes unlikely) products and services: from citizenship and higher-level internet domain names to place-branded foods and beverages; from electronic gaming to niche manufacturing. There is much more to small island survival than subsistence farming aid remittances and public sector workfare. Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories helps to dispel this myth showcasing an aspect of life in small island states and territories that is rarely documented or critically reviewed.

A New Approach to Global Studies from the Perspective of Small Nations

A New Approach to Global Studies from the Perspective of Small Nations

With emphasis on East Asian and North American examples – notably Japan and Quebec – Date Laniel and their contributors take a new approach to the understanding of small nations and their role in the international system. Small nations by their very nature raise significant questions about what a nation is. Some small nations are sovereign states with relatively small populations and limited territory others are nations within larger sovereign states with distinctive cultures governance structures or other features that differentiate them from their “parent” state. By focussing on non-European nations in particular the contributors to this volume challenge our conceptions of what a small nation is and how it operates within the international system. They focus in particular on the nation-within-a-nation-state of Quebec and on Japan supplemented by further examples from East Asia. By interrogating what these examples have to show us about the typology and character of small nations they offer a critique of superpower and draw out the potential of small nation studies. A valuable resource for students and scholars of international relations and theories of the nation and nation state. | A New Approach to Global Studies from the Perspective of Small Nations
