Overview: Presents state-of-the-art technologies to resolve nuclear back-end issues.Includes policies for the nuclear fuel cycle after the Fukushima accident.Proposes a variety of nuclear reactor systems for fu.This book covers essential aspects of transmutation technologies, highlighting especially the advances in Japan. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) has caused us to focus attention on a large amount of spent nuclear fuels stored in NPPs. In addition, public anxiety regarding the treatment and disposal of high-level radioactive wastes that require long-term c

Overview: The proliferation of nuclear weapons has been defined as the gravest potential threat to international peace and security. The concept of nuclear deterrence has to be revisited in this regard. The longer the Nuclear Weapon States hold on to their nuclear weapons, the bigger the chance that nuclear weapons will be spread and will be used (once again) by accident, in an authorized or unauthorized way, or that nuclear terrorism becomes reality. The marginalizing of nuclear weapons resulting in a Nuclear Weapon Free World should be considered as a viable alternative.978-1-349-26731-6978-

Overview: Nationalism in Eastern Europe offers a thorough application of theories of nationalism in an analysis of the recent national revivals and conflicts in Eastern Europe. The book discusses both microsociological theories from social psychology and economics and macrosociological theories from sociology and political science. In a comprehensive comparative analysis these theories are applied to the late-Twentieth-century experiences of Estonia, Moldova, Croatia and the former Czechoslovakia. In doing so, the authors arrive at generalizable explanations of both the prevalence and the pote

Overview: Based on archival sources and oral history, this book  reconstructs a border-building process in Namibia that spanned more than sixty years. The process commenced with the establishment of a temporary veterinary defence line against rinderpest by the German colonial authorities in the late nineteenth century and ended with the construction of a continuous two-metre-high fence by the South African colonial government sixty years later. This 1250-kilometre fence divides northern from central Namibia even today.  The book combines a macro and a micro-perspective and differentiates betwe

Overview: Addresses exciting new ways of thinking about film not tackled by existing texts. Organised around engaging topics, such as love, terror, the gaze, the body, passion and revenge. Covers theoretical peThis book examines some of the most significant recent developments in film and critical theory. The book is divided into four sections, each dealing with established and alternative critical concepts and approaches. These four are: The Gaze and Subjectivity; Film and Discourse; Film and Culture; Film and Meaning. Each of these topics is explored using concepts from post-structuralism an

Overview: Monograph on topic with strong importance for applications.Includes supplementary material: This book deals with numerical methods for solving partial differential equa­ tions (PDEs) coupling advection, diffusion and reaction terms, with a focus on time-dependency. A combined treatment is presented of methods for hy­ perbolic problems, thereby emphasizing the one-way wave equation, meth­ ods for parabolic problems and methods for stiff and non-stiff ordinary dif­ ferential equations (ODEs). With regard to time-dependency we have at­ tempted to present the algorithms and the discussio

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Characterisation of the shallow subsurface has gained in importance as civil and geotechnical engineering and environmental applications have become more dependent on a precise definition of geomechanical and geohydrological properties.  A better understanding of the subsurface conditions offers wide-ranging benefits to governments, industry and individual citizens...Subsurface geological modelling became an economic and technologic reality in the late 1980‘s, when competing 3-D geoscientific information systems were the subject of considerable resea

Overview: This book provides a brief review of drug development efforts and FDA approved kinase inhibitors.This book sets the stage and highlights the importance of kinase signaling pathways in physiological prProtein kinases are fascinating enzymes that maintain the proper function of nearly every task performed by the cells of the human body. By extracting a phosphate from the energy molecule ATP and linking it to another protein, protein kinases alter the structure and ultimate function of other proteins. In this way, protein kinases help monitor the extracellular environment and integrate
