Overview: This book is the first to cover the sources of natural product antifoulants, their ecological functions, methods of characterisation and possible exploitation in antifouling..Increasing awareness of the deleterious effects of toxic components in antifouling coatings has raised interest in the potential for nontoxic alternatives. This book examines how marine organisms from bacteria to invertebrates and plants use chemicals to communicate and defend themselves. Chemicals that prevent colonisation of living surfaces are particularly pertinent to antifouling technology and may inspire n

It provides the reader with an overview of the state of the art in the field, and of the latest research into both the theoretical foundations of photometric 3D reconstruction and its practical application in several fields (including security, medicine, cultural heritage and archiving, and engineering). These tech

Overview: This book gives an account of a number of recent developments in two different subfields of research, optics and micro--electronics. The leading principle in presenting them together in one book is the striking similarity between a variety of notions in these two research areas. We mention in this respect tunneling, quantum interference and localization, which are important concepts in quantummechanics and more specifically in condensed matter physics. Miniaturization in solid state engineering has led to new phenomena in which these concepts play their significant roles. As it is th

Overview: Includes a detailed, pedagogic chapter on Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory.Presents an advanced discussion of nuclear scission, otherwise unavailable in book format.Contains a detailed, step-by-step dis.This book introduces a quantum-mechanical description of the nuclear fission process from an initial compound state to scission. Issues like the relevant degrees of freedom throughout the process, the way of coupling collective and intrinsic degrees during the fission process, and how a nucleus divides into two separate daughters in a quantum-mechanical description where its wave functi

Overview: A new method for breast conserving in early stage breast cancer.First book to describe the rationale, biology, techniques, and controversies related to APBI.Summarizing all literatures and studies.The.Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is being rapidly introduced into the clinical management of early breast cancer. APBI, in fact, encompasses a number of different techniques and approaches that include brachytherapy, intraoperative, and external beam techniques. There is currently no single source that describes these techniques and their clinical implementation. This text

Overview: Features research topics inspired by the substantial contributions of Professor Barry C. Arnold to probability and statistics, in areas such as distribution theory, order statistics, stochastic procesThis edited collection brings together internationally recognized experts in a range of areas of statistical science to honor the contributions of the distinguished statistician, Barry C. Arnold. A pioneering scholar and professor of statistics at the University of California, Riverside, Dr. Arnold has made exceptional advancements in different areas of probability, statistics, and biost

Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.Examines the seismic risk of energy-efficient buildings and their structural details.Fosters research progress in earthquaThis open access book presents a methodology for the assessment of structural building details, taking into account the contemporary guidelines for earthquake-resistant and energy-efficient buildings. A review of structural details for energy-efficient buildings revealed that in some cases the structural system is interrupted, leading to solutions which are not suitable for earthquake-pr

It scrutinises the uses of ‘contestation’ in international relations theories with regard to its descriptive and normative potential. To that end, critical investigations into international relations are conducted based on three thinking tools from public philosophy and the social sciences: The nor

Overview: Une approche inédite et personnalisée, l‘ouvrage est couplé à un site d‘auto-test.L‘essentiel de la gestion des risques cliniques au cabinet médical en 11 chapitres.Une synthèse de la littérature avec.La gestion des risques liés aux soins fait l’objet d’une pression croissante des tutelles et des patients. On ne peut plus rester dans un exercice de ville sans y prêter une attention particulière.  .Cet ouvrage est une réponse pratique à cette pression. Faisant suite au premier livre publié par les mêmes auteurs, il permet d’actualiser ses connaissances et de réaliser un audit très com

Overview: An efficient improvement of existing cultivars to meet rising food demand.International experts share their knowledge and research.Practical guides to mitigate the challenges of conventional plant bre.Plant improvement has shifted its focus from yield, quality and disease resistance to factors that will enhance commerical export, such as early maturity, shelf life and better processing quality. Conventional plant breeding methods aiming at the improvement of a self-pollinating crop, such as wheat, usually take 10-12 years to develop and release of the new variety. During the past 10

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D thesis by the Universita degli studi di Catania, Italy and Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands.Reports significant progress towards realizing Weinberg‘s idea of AThis book seeks to construct a consistent fundamental quantum theory of gravity, which is often considered one of the most challenging open problems in present-day physics. It approaches this challenge using modern functional renormalization group techniques, and attempts to realize the idea of “Asymptotic Safety” originally proposed by S. Weinberg. Quite remarkably, the book makes signi

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeThis book grew out of a public lecture series, Alternative forms of knowledge construction in mathematics, conceived and organized by the first editor, and held annually at Portland State University from 2006. Starting from the position that mathematics is a human construction, implying that it cannot be separated from its historical, cultural, social, and political contexts, the purpose of these lectures was to provide a public intellectual space to interrogate conceptions of mathematics and mathematics education, pa

Overview: Die nachhaltige Sockelarbeitslosigkeit, die auch in Zeiten konjunktureller Belebung nicht zurückgeht, hat seit Mitte der 80er Jahre eine Diskussion um die richtige Ordnung des Arbeitsmarktes ausgelöst, die vor allem die Macht des "Tarifkartells" angreift. Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberverbände gelten als Arbeitsplatzvernichter. Die Kritik fordert "Mehr Wettbewerb auf dem Arbeitsmarkt", orientiert am wirtschaftspolitischen Leitbild des Gesetzes gegen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen, und will die Tarifmacht beschneiden. Dem Verfasser gelingt es, aus der Systementscheidung für die Privatauton
