Overview: Contains case studies of real plants.Explains "functional safety" through risk assessment methods.Shows numerous worked-out examples with solutions.Accidents in industrial installations are random events. Hence they cannot be totally avoided. Only the probability of their occurrence may be reduced and their consequences be mitigated. The book proceeds from hazards caused by materials and process conditions to indicating engineered and organizational measures for achieving the objectives of reduction and mitigation. Qualitative methods for identifying weaknesses of design and increasi

Overview: Presents the latest international research activities on microplastic pollution.Discusses the origins of microplastic pollution in the sea, inspiring readers to find suitable ecosustainable alternativThis book focuses on different aspects of microplastic pollution, offering authors and readers the opportunity to share their knowledge, identify issues and propose solutions and actions to face this environmental threat. Although plastic pollution is a well-known global problem, the recent discovery of microplastics and nanoplastics in seas and oceans represents a very alarming new envi

Overview: Schwerpunkt auf Therapie und frühzeitige Erkennung.Knapp und verständlich geschrieben.Interdisziplinäre Betrachtungsweise.Die Geburt eines Kindes gehört für viele Frauen zu den besonders glücklichen Ereignissen in ihrem Leben. Doch es bedarf auch günstiger Bedingungen, um die neue Verantwortung für ein Kind tatsächlich als Glück und Bereicherung empfinden zu können. Für etwa 15 bis 20 Prozent der Frauen trifft das nicht zu. Aufgrund von psychosozialen Vorbelastungen, finanziellen Problemen, Überlastung, Partnerschaftskonflikten oder seelischen Krisen kann es bei ihnen nach der Geburt

Overview: Investigations of atmospheric pollution have recently reached a new stage. In addition to the estimation and the monitoring of pollutant concentrations in the air around their sources, by way of observational data and also by calcu­ lations on the basis of theoretical research, it is now possible to make short­ term forecasts of air pollution and to use them to regulate industrial emissions. Many countries are interested in such forecasts. In the Soviet Union the organizations of the State Committee of the USSR for Hydrometeorology (Goskomgidromet) are carrying out a wide-scale scien

Overview: Die Analyse diskret gesteuerter Systeme beschränkt sich bisher auf die Möglichkeiten der Simulation; für zeitlich parallele, nebenläufige Prozesse benötigt man als weiteres, leistungsfähiges Instrument die Petri-Netze. Das Buch führt in die Theorie ein, soweit dies für den Anwender erforderlich ist, beschreibt die Möglichkeiten und zeigt die Anwendung sowohl mit Hilfe graphentheoretischer als auch algebraischer Methoden.978-3-642-95603-4978-3-642-95602-7

Overview: Draws together a wide range of peer-reviewed primary research papers from biodiversity researchers around the world.Provides examples from a wide spectrum of issues representing the current state-of-tNon-timber forest products (NTFP) hold economic and cultural signi?cance for millions of people across the globe. For instance, hundreds of millions of rural peoples currently derive a signi?cant portion of both their subsistence needs and cash income from gathered plant and animal products (Iqbal 1993; Vedeld et al. 2004). Thousands of wild NTFP are also harvested for local use in other

Overview: Offers an unprecedented classification and comparative assessment of the most active space actors worldwide.Introduces an innovative conceptual framework to measure and classify space actors in a mult.This book explains on what basis a nation can claim the status of space power, what are the criteria differentiating a space power from “lesser” space actors, and how their spacepower can be empirically measured and assessed. To this end, it sets forth a comprehensive multidisciplinary framework to enable a dynamic comparison of space actors and of the pathways that lead them in and out

Overview: Wind energy is now the world‘s fastest growing energy source. In the past 10 years, the global wind energy capacity has increased rapidly. The installed global wind power capacity has grown to 47.317 GW from about 3.5 GW in 1994. The global wind power industry installed 7976 MW in 2004, an increase in total installed generating capacity of 20%. The phenomenal growth in the wind energy industry can be attributed to the concerns to the environmental issues, and research and development of innovative cost-reducing technologies. Denmark is a leading producer of wind turbines in the world

Overview: In this book the author treats four fundamental and apparently simple problems. They are: the number of primes below a given limit, the ap­ proximate number of primes, the recognition of prime numbers and the factorization of large numbers. A chapter on the details of the distribution of the primes is included as well as a short description of a recent applica­ tion of prime numbers, the so-called RSA public-key cryptosystem. The author is also giving explicit algorithms and computer programs. Whilst not claiming completeness, the author has tried to give all important results known,

Overview: Nach dem Umbruch in der DDR und der Vereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten kam es Anfang der neunziger Jahre in ganz Deutschland zu einem deutlichen Anstieg von Gewalttaten mit rechtsextremistischem Hintergrund. Die Ausschreitungen von Hoyerswerda im Herbst 1991 zeigten eine neue Dimension von Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Gewalttätigkeit. In aller Öffent­ lichkeit, unter Anwesenheit der Polizei und von Beifallsbekundungen der Anwohner begleitet, griffen jugendliche Gewalttäter Asylbewerber und ehe­ malige Vertragsarbeiter an. Hatte es während der Nachkriegszeit durchgängig rechtsextrem
