Overview: Covers recent updates on biochemical, metabolic and physiological responses of plants to organic and inorganic pollutants and tolerance mechanisms.Summarises approaches for use of phytoremediation as Human demand for energy has grown multi-folds in recent years. This is the result of rapidly increasing human population, which, in turn, has resulted in increased organic (petroleum) and inorganic pollution on the biosphere. Due to this, we are now facing a number of challenges to sustain life on earth. For example, the increased organic and inorganic pollution in our environment is lea

Overview: A comprehensive review of current knowledge of BPA release from dental polymers and the potential endocrinological consequences.Presents the basic chemistry of the polymers used in dentistry in a read.This book provides a timely and comprehensive review of our current knowledge of BPA release from dental polymers and the potential endocrinological consequences. After a review of the history and evolution of the issue within the broader biomedical context, the estrogenicity of BPA is explained. The basic chemistry of the polymers used in dentistry is then presented in a simplified and

Overview: Thermomechanical predictive theories of phase change are improved by a renewed principle of virtual power.Coupling of volume damage and of surface adhesion are highly innovative for civil and mechanicPredictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g.solid-liquid phase change, volume and surface damage, and phase change involving temperature discontinuities. Many other phase change phenomena such as solid-solid phase change in shape memory alloys and vapor-liquid phase change are also explored.Modeling is base

Overview: Presents an alternative to Porter’s Competitive Advantage Model for developing countries.Provides in-depth analysis of R&D in developing countries, with an emphasis on implications for policy and prac.Since the pioneering work of Joseph Schumpeter (1942), it has been assumed that innovations typically play a key role in firms’ competitiveness.  This assumption has been applied to firms in both developed and developing countries. However, the innovative capacities and business environments of firms in developing countries are fundamentally different from those in developed countries.

Overview: Presents issues related to methods of improving power quality.Focuses on the use of active compensators.Illustrates theoretical considerations with results from laboratory research.Includes supplement.Power quality describes a set of parameters of electric power and the load’s ability to function properly under specific conditions. It is estimated that problems relating to power quality costs the European industry hundreds of billions of Euros annually. In contrast, financing for the prevention of these problems amount to fragments of these costs. Power Theories for Improved Power Qu

Overview: Covers the main aspects of translational endocrinology and clinical practice.Provides expert guidance.Written by a combination of respected and emerging experts in the field.Paediatric Endocrinology covers all of the main aspects of translational endocrinology and clinical practice, making it an ideal resource for both paediatricians and endocrinologists. The book emphasizes the newer translational aspects of the topics covered, as well as molecular advances in diagnosis and therapy, although clinical relevance, with a particular focus on evidence-based clinical management, remains p

Overview: Der vorliegende Band "Pädagogische Generationsbeziehungen - Jugendliche im Spannungsfeld von Familie und Schule" geht auf eine Tagung zurück, die vom "Zentrum für Schulforschung und Fragen der Lehrerbildung" der "Martin-Luther-Universität Halle Wittenberg" am 12. und 13. Juli 2000 in der Leucorea (Lutherstadt Wittenberg) durchgeführt wurde. Das Ziel der Tagung war es, die ,neue‘ Fülle an Thesen und Beiträgen zur Generations­ thematik aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zu sichten, im direkten Diskurs zu bündeln und dabei systematisch auf das Spannungsfeld von Familie und Schule zu beziehen

Overview: This volume, together with its two companion volumes, originated in a study commis­ sioned by the United States National Academy of Sciences on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A committee composed of Tom Holzer, Dimitri Mihalas, Roger Ulrich and myself was asked to prepare a comprehensive review of current knowledge concerning the physics of the sun. We were fortunate in being able to persuade many distinguished scientists to gather their forces for the preparation of 21 separate chapters covering not only solar physics but also relevant areas of astrophy
