Overview: Discusses the challenges of food security in the 21st century.Compares how climate smart different types of food are.Challenges readers to think about their own food and how they get it.This is an OpeThis open access book asks just how climate-smart our food really is. It follows an average day‘s worth of food and drink to see where it comes from, how far it travels, and the carbon price we all pay for it. From our breakfast tea and toast, through breaktime chocolate bar, to take-away supper, Dave Reay explores the weather extremes the world’s farmers are already dealing with, and wh

Overview: Strategic positioning is the assertion of an organizations personality on decisions of how and where to compete, it determines competitive position in the market place and differentiates the offering to the market. Operational positioning is an exercise in communication that concentrates on perception and image that complements the role of strategic positioning. This book offers an alternative to the traditional process of segmentation, targeting and positioning, highlighting some important implications for management and marketing practitioners as well as academics.978-1-349-51343-7

Overview: At this meeting, a number of critical groups confirmed and extended the original findings by J.A. Obeso and his colleagues. These authors found that continuous s.c. infusion of lisuride, a watersoluble dopaminergic 8- -aminoergoline with dopaminergic properties which can be injected or infused, can improve - sometimes quite considerably - motor function in severely disabled fluctuating Parkinsonian patients. The concurrent use of the peripheral dopamine antagonist domperidone attenuates or prevents side effects related to the stimulation of "peripheral" dopamine receptors, including

Overview: This book combines, for the first time, the description of modern methods of coating technology with techniques for the scientific investigation of structure and properties of the metal-coating composSaving in metal, corrosion and wear control of machine parts are the problems of increasing priority. Conventional constructional materials are unable to provide re­ liability and durability of equipment under conditions of increased working speeds and loads, aggressive medium attacks and elevated temperatures. Solution to these problems involves change in properties of the surface layer

Overview: Among global environmental issues, climate change has received the largest attention of national and global policy makers, researchers, industry, multilateral banks and NGOs. Climate change is one of the most important global environmental problems with unique characteristics.
