Overview: Integrated control of pests was practiced early in this century, well before anyone thought to call it "integrated control" or, still later, "integrated pest management" (IPM), which is the subject of this book by Mary Louise Flint and the late Robert van den Bosch. USDA entomologists W. D. Hunter and B. R. Coad recommended the same principles in 1923, for example, for the control of boll weevil on cotton in the United States. In that program, selected pest-tolerant varieties of cotton and residue destruction were the primary means of control, with insecticides consid­ ered supplemen

Overview: Der vorliegende Band gibt einen Einblick in Situation und Anwendungen der Informatik in der "Dritten Welt"; er ist aus der dreijährigen Arbeit des entsprechenden GI-Arbeitskreises hervorgegangen. Als Einstieg nicht nur für den Leser, der sich bislang mit Entwicklungsländern nur wenig auseinandergesetzt hat, sind die theoretischen Grundlagen hilfreich: Entwicklungstheorie und Technologietransfer zeigen Bewertungskriterien für Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken im Entwicklungsprozeß auf. Danach werden Länderberichte aus Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika zum Stand des Einsatzes der

Overview: Nitrogen is the most limiting element for crop production.Traditionally, expensive commercial fertilizers are used to correctsoil nitrogen deficiencies. Indeed, 50% of the increase in rice yieldsafter World War II can be attributed to increased fertilizer nitrogenuse. Although an increased rate of fertilizer nitrogen application hasbeen advocated to meet the growing demand for food, it is unrealisticto advise the farmers to apply fertilizers they could hardly afford,and whose prices are likely to escalate in the years ahead. Inaddition, when they are not applied judiciously there are

Overview: This is the first definitive book which examines critically, objectively and comprehensively the benefits and costs of large dams which have been operational for more than ten years, as well as the na.One of the most controversial issues of the water sector in recent years has been the impacts of large dams. Proponents have claimed that such structures are essential to meet the increasing water demands of the world and that their overall societal benefits far outweight the costs. In contrast, the opponents claim that social and environmental costs of large dams far exceed their benef

Overview: Presents a comprehensive evaluation of the phenomenon of hyperconnectivity.Addresses the process of identity construction from different educational fields.Proposes different analyses of the main riskThis book is about the formation of identity, primarily in adolescents, and the danger inherent in creating that identity in the context of a hyperconnected world. It provides scientific and regulatory pedagogical knowledge associated with these risks in creating identity, primarily among young people, arising from increasing, and increasingly important, screen connection times. It propo

Overview: Documents the strengths and limitations of all the imaging techniques used in patients with pancreatitis.Clearly explains how imaging findings derive from the pathophysiology of the disease processes..With the aid of numerous high-quality illustrations, this volume explains the strengths and limitations of the different techniques employed in the imaging of pancreatitis. Ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and interventional imaging are each considered separately in the settings of acute and chronic pancreatitis. A further section is devoted to imaging of the

Overview: Gives special emphasis to the interdisciplinary and international dimension of transport corridor development in Europe.Illustrates new approaches to deal with conflicting impacts of transport infrastThe challenge of growth in transport, especially in freight transport, and scarce resources in money, landscape and local opposition against new infrastructure investment require new solutions from transport policy. This book deals with these issues taking as an example the transport corridor Rotterdam-Genoa, one of the most heavily used in Europe. In 2010 the INTERREG project Code24 wit

Overview: The aim of this text is to increase your understanding of the methods employed for improving the quality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a practical manufacturing environment, by discussing printed circuit board faults and the test strategies implemented to detect these faults. This text emphasizes in-circuit testing as a prime test and diagnostic technique. Test strategies are described - implementing functional board testers, in-circuit board testers, in-circuit analyzers, and loaded­ board shorts testers. Also discussed are in-circuit tester‘s hardware, software, fix turing, a

Overview: Provides an understandable treatment of information theory. Valuable appendices for student references. Numerous worked examples. End of chapter exercises (with solutions provided)Information and its communication is one of the most important areas in the modern world, and its developments are advancing at an ever increasing pace. To be able to assess and evaluate the importance of these developments, an understanding of the basic principles behind them is essential for the student of engineering.

Overview: Urges the reader to benefit from input from interdisciplinarity and the arts to rethink interculturality.Introduces global approaches to interculturality that have been neglected in scholarship of int.This book continues the author’s long-term reflections (over 20 years of scholarship and experience in intercultural communication education) around the fascinating and yet contestable notion of interculturality in education. As an unstable and polysemic notion, interculturality deserves to be opened up again and again and there is a need to engage with it continuously, observing, criti

Overview: 1. We begin by giving a simple example of a partial differential inequality that occurs in an elementary physics problem. We consider a fluid with pressure u(x, t) at the point x at the instant t that 3 occupies a region Q oflR bounded by a membrane r of negligible thickness that, however, is semi-permeable, i. e., a membrane that permits the fluid to enter Q freely but that prevents all outflow of fluid. One can prove then (cf. the details in Chapter 1, Section 2.2.1) that au (aZu azu aZu) (1) in Q, t>o, -a - du = g du = -a z + -a z + -a z t Xl X X3 z l g a given function, with boun
