Overview: Explains the differences and intrinsic relationship between antifouling in land and marine environments.Especially focuses on marine anti biofouling, including both anti biofouling biocides and green,.This book reviews the development of antifouling surfaces and materials for both land and marine environments, with an emphasis on marine anti biofouling. It explains the differences and intrinsic relationship between antifouling in land and marine environments, which are based on superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity respectively. It covers various topics including biomimetic ant

Overview: In 1921 the Swiss surgeon BIRCHER published the first report on ar­ throscopy of the knee joint. The initial trials with the method revealed problems, mainly technical in origin, which caused it to be abandoned and forgotten until recently. Modern technical improvements, for which Japanese orthopaedic surgeons, above all WATANABE, were mainly responsible, have now led to a revival of interest in this method of investigation. The quality and versatility of the instruments currently available and the experience of the endoscopists who use them are such that arthroscopy of the knee join

Overview: The first edition of this book (1958) described an analytical situation which had existed for a number of years for maintaining quality control on vulcanizates of natural rubber although the situation had recently been disturbed by the introduction of a range of synthetic rubbers which required identification and quantitative estimation. For the former purpose ‘wet‘ chemistry, based on various imperfectly understood organic reactions, was pressed into service. Alongside this was the first introduction of instrumental analysis, using the infrared spectra of either the polymers or, mor

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-663-03089-8978-3-663-04278-5

Overview: Over half of acquisitions fail and acquirers keep making the same fatal mistakes time and time again: poor planning, a lack of communication and mishandled implementation.This book explores the process of acquiring through an in depth look at its various stages and enables the reader to understand the process in order to avoid its pitfalls. Throughout the book practical tools and up to date information analysis are used to demonstrate the latest in acquisition best practice.In addition five case studies are used to illustrate the process of acquiring and examine how different compani

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciences.Includes supplementary material: ​Disassembly is one of the key elements of any processing of recovered products. Be it for repair, remanufacturing, refurbishing, cannibalisation, material recycling, or disposal. Hence, planning the disassembly is important and—with growing amounts of recovered products andneed for saving resources—becomes even more important.The disassembly planning approaches presented are based on mathematical programming. With this methodology, a profit-optimalplanning of quantities of multiple types of recovered prod

Overview: The need for alternate energy sources has led to the develop­ ment of prototype fusion and MHD reactors. Both possible energy systems in current designs usually require the use of magnetic fields for plasma confinement and concentration. For the creation and maintenance of large 5 to 15 tesla magnetic fields, supercon­ ducting magnets appear more economical. But the high magnetic fields create large forces, and the complexities of the conceptual reactors create severe space restrictions. The combination of re­ quirements, plus the desire to keep construction costs at a mini­ mum, has
