Soft cover. Zustand: New. In the past year, the novel coronavirus Covid-19 has affected every single part of the world. Over 1.5 million people have died; the global economy has contracted the deepest since the Second World War; and the gains over the decades in poverty eradication may have been erased. Amidst this, how did India fare in coping with Covid-19 in 2020? India and the Pandemic? looks back at the historical, social, cultural, economic and political aspects of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country. The 24 essays in this volume, written by astute political and social commentators, offer rich insights into the impact of the pandemic, and the response of state and society. The essays tell us what we should have done early on, and what we should have done differently in dealing with this health and humanitarian disaster. They place the current pandemic within the broader history of infectious diseases. They provide valuable lessons for the future, telling us how we should think of organising human society differently if we are to prevent future pandemics. Written in 2020, these incisive essays offer a real-time window into the spread of the novel coronavirus disease in India. They make for a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in what happened during the first year of the pandemic. Contents: Introduction Faizi Ahmad, C. J. Kuncheria and C.

Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Most of the cold weather countries spend annually plenty of money in order to facilitate concrete placing in the cold weather and to extend the construction season. During cold weather, preparations are made to protect the concrete; enclosures, windbreaks, portable heaters, insulated forms, and blankets are used to maintain the concrete temperature. As an alternative, antifreeze additives can be used in cold weather. These chemical additives suppress the freezing point of water under 0 °C degrees and accelerate the hydration of cement. The effects of antifreeze admixtures are often specific to certain cement brands and fine aggregates. It is important therefore to determine through laboratory mix trials both the operating range and the particular dosage of the admixture required for the intended application. The most common antifreeze admixtures are sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3). These antifreezes do not cause corrosion of steel and let concrete freeze at a temperature from ¿10°C (NaNO2) to ¿15°C (K2CO3).…
