Secondly, it critically scrutinizes the market-centric perspectives on one hand and combines political

Overview: Reviews research work on electrochemical power sources being conducted in the former Warsaw Pact countries.Explores the role that carbon plays in the cathodes and anodes of power sources.Reveals the lCarbonaceous materials play a fundamental role in electrochemical energy storage systems. Carbon in the structural form of graphite is widely used as the active material in lithium-ion batteries; it is abundant, and environmentally friendly. Carbon is also used to conduct and distribute charge effectively throughout composite electrodes of supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells. The e

Overview: Uniquely presents how natural law can be applied to benefit policy formation.Explores multifaceted themes of ethics, morality, government, policy and law.Applies philosophical greater good concepts to.Since the dawn of civilisation philosophers and sages alike have been concerned about the potential for government to become a Leviathan-like monster. In this book Professor Drew shows how a careful application of natural law principles can mitigate this threat of Leviathan and also contribute to the flourishing of people...To do so .Natural Law and Government. examines the trade-off be

Overview: Much more comprehensive than other titles.Written for the non-specialist and specialist alike.Uniquely falling between a conference proceedings and a formal textbook“Neutrinos and Explosive Events in the Universe” brought together experts from diverse disciplines to offer a detailed view of the exciting new work in this part of High Energy Astrophysics. Sponsored by NATO as an Advanced Study Institute, and coordinated under the auspices of the International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics (14th biennial course), the ASI featured a full program of lectures and discussion in the ambi

Overview: Following A Century of Premiers: Salisbury to Blair, Leonard turns his attention to their 19th Century predecessors. In a series of 20 biographical essays, he recounts the principal events of their political careers, assesses their performance as Prime Ministers, and asks what lasting influence they have had.978-0-230-20985-5978-0-230-22725-5

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts.Nervous system development evolves from the well-orchestrated processes of neural induction, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, survival, and synapse formation. Among these environmental cues, neurotrophic factors are secreted proteins that promote neurite outgrowth, neuronal cell differentiation and survival both .in vivo. and .in vitro.. Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the founding and best character

Overview: Investigates the nature and behaviour of intrinsic and extrinsic defects in the most recognizable and promising semiconductor photocatalytic materials.Demonstrates how the advancement of structural, o.This book helps readers comprehend the principles and fundamentals of defect engineering toward realization of an efficient photocatalyst. The volume consists of two parts, each of which addresses a particulate type of defects. The first, larger section provides a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the behaviour and nature of intrinsic defects. The author describes how their contro

Overview: Since 1972 the Schools on Nonlinear Physics in Gorky have been a meeting place for Soviet scientists working in this field. Instead of producing for the first time English proceedings it has been decided to present a good cross section of nonlinear physics in the USSR. Thus the participants at the last School were invited to provide English reviews and research papers for these two volumes (which in the years to come will be followed by the proceedings of forthcoming schools). .The first volume. starts with a historical overview of nonlinear dynamics from Poincaré to the present day

Overview: These are the proceedings of international conference on Numerical As­ trophysics 1998 (NAP98), held at National Olympic Memorial Youth Cen­ ter, in Tokyo, Japan in the period of March 10 - 13, 1998, and hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory, Japan (NAOJ). In the last decade numerical simulations have grown up as a major tool for astrophysics. Numerical simulations give us invaluable informa­ tion on complex systems and physical processes under extreme conditions which can be neither realized by experiments nor directly observed. Super­ computers and special purpose compute
