Overview: During the last thirty years, most increases in agricultural production were achieved through high input agrieulture in areas with fertile soils and sufficient water. Intensive methods of production with high levels of nitrogen fertilizer and pesticides were often accompanied by environmental degradation and in some instances by pollution of the food supply. However, rapid population growth has also led to increasing use of marginal lands, where adverse soil and climatic eonditions are serious constraints to food production. These areas are even more sensitive to ecological destabili

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Miniaturization has cost and time-saving advantages for numerous applications in chemistry, pharmacy, medicine and biotechnology. Additionally, microreaction technology offers new solutions for the automobile industry and environmental technology, e.g. fuel cells, or mobile sensor systems for on-the-spot analysis. Therefore, the 3rd International Conference on Microreaction Technology - IMRET 3 is an important forum for creating awareness of the wide variety of the new trends in this up-and-coming discipline.978-3-642-64104-6978-3-642-59738-1

Overview: Das Lehrbuch soll Studierende, Diplomanden und Doktoranden der Chemie an diese Domäne der Chemischen Physik heranführen, dabei die erforderlichen mathematischen Methoden und Ableitungen nicht aussparen aber auf das Nötigste reduzieren und anschaulich in zahlreichen Beispielen darstellen. Dem Leser wird sowohl ein Überblick über die wichtigen Erscheinungsformen des Magnetismus gegeben als auch ein tieferer Einblick und damit der Zugang zur Fachliteratur ermöglicht. Auf eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Meßmethoden mit hilfreichen Details aus der Praxis der Magnetochemie wird Wert gel

Overview: One day, in a moment of weakness, I fell prey to the temptation to organize and edit this volume on the mechanism of insulin action. The major reason for attempting to resist, of course, is the amazing speed at which advances are being made in this field. The usefulness of books such as this is often quickly compromised by new findings obtained during and just after publication. Happily for the contributors to this volume and myself, this unfortunate fate does not appear to be in store for us. New and important findings will undoubtedly continue to flow in this field during the next

Overview: Includes many original, lucid, and relevant examples from the physical sciences, problems at the ends of chapters, and boxes to emphasize important concepts.Broad scope will be useful for students acr.Intended to follow the usual introductory physics courses, this book has the unique feature of addressing the mathematical needs of sophomores and juniors in physics, engineering and other related fields. Many original, lucid, and relevant examples from the physical sciences, problems at the ends of chapters, and boxes to emphasize important concepts help guide the student through the m

Overview: Novel approach for exploratory data analysis with ensembles of various neuro-fuzzy systems.Derivation of various ensemble architectures that are able to.work with missing data.Written by an expert in .Fuzzy classifiers are important tools in exploratory data analysis, which is a vital set of methods used in various engineering, scientific and business applications. Fuzzy classifiers use fuzzy rules and do not require assumptions common to statistical classification. Rough set theory is useful when data sets are incomplete. It defines a formal approximation of crisp sets by providing the l

Overview: Shows how franchisers build strategic groups to create competitive advantage.Argues that alliance portfolio capabilities are a key strategic asset and formal control improves franchiser performance.Es.This book highlights cutting-edge research in the economics and management of networks as an interdisciplinary field, offering new theoretical, empirical and practical perspectives on the management, governance, ownership and control of cooperatives, franchising networks and strategic alliances. Further, it presents a strategic group perspective on franchisers and discusses both social

Overview: The Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center in coopera­ tion with the Materials Science Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of Syracuse University has been conducting the Annual Sagamore Army Materials Research Conference since 1954. The specific purpose of these conferences has been to bring together scientists and engineers from academic institutions, industry, and government who are uniquely qualified to explore in depth a subject of importance to the Department of Defense, the Army, and the scientific community. The proceedings of this confe

Overview: Modernises the debate around migration to Australia.Places Australian scholarship within a global context showing how transnational cities are shaped in an age of migration.Combines cultural studies aThis book offers a critical reflection on the ways in which migration has shaped Australia’s cities, especially over the past twenty years. Australian cities are among the world’s most culturally diverse and are home to most of the nation’s population. This edited collection brings together contemporary research carried out by scholars across a range of diverse disciplines, all of whom a
