The Galapagos Marine Reserve: A Dynamic Social-Ecological System (Social and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands)

Springer, 2014

This book focuses on how marine systems respond to natural and anthropogenic perturbations (ENSO, overfishing, pollution, tourism, invasive species, climate-change). Authors explain in their chapters how this information can guide management and conservation actions to help orient and better manage, restore and sustain the ecosystems services...

Conservation of Leather and Related Materials (Conservation and Museology)

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2005

An essential addition to the collection of anyone working with leather or associated materials

The conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area that, until now, has had little representation by the written word in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather Conservation Centre, have prepared a...

Smallholder Tree Growing for Rural Development and Environmental Services: Lessons from Asia (Advances in Agroforestry)

Springer, 2008

Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20^th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use has received relatively little attention from the scientific and...

Houches Lectures: 1972, Black Holes (Les Houches Lectures : 1972 Lectures)

Routledge, 1973

The story of the phenomenal transformation of general relativity within little more than a decade, from a quiet backwater of research, harboring a handful of theorists, to a booming outpost attracting increasing numbers of highly talented young people as well as heavy investment in experiments, is by now familiar. The amazing thing about this...

Analytical Techniques in Materials Conservation

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

This book will introduce the reader to the wide variety of analytical techniques that are employed by those working on the conservation of materials. An introduction to each technique is provided with explanations of how data may be obtained and interpreted. Examples and case studies will be included to illustrate how each technique is used...

Information and Life

Springer, 2013

Communication, one of the most important functions of life, occurs at any spatial scale from the molecular one up to that of populations and ecosystems, and any time scale from that of fast chemical reactions up to that of geological ages. Information theory, a mathematical science of communication initiated by Shannon in 1948, has been very...

Topological Foundations of Electrodynamics (World Scientific Series in Contemporary Chemical Physics)

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

Topological Foundations of Electromagnetism seeks a fundamental understanding of the dynamics of electromagnetism; and marshals the evidence that in certain precisely defined topological conditions, electromagnetic theory (Maxwell's theory) must be extended or generalized in order to provide an explanation and understanding of, until now, unusual...

HPC@Green IT: Green High Performance Computing Methods

Springer, 2010

The authors present methods to reduce computer energy consumption by means of a better usage of a specific set of resources and maximizing the efficiency of the running applications. The processor frequency is adjusted to the needs of the running job, leading to a power drop by a factor of 2 and doubling battery life time of laptops. It is...

Mathematical Modelling, Optimization, Analytic and Numerical Solutions (Industrial and Applied Mathematics)

Springer, 2020

This book discusses a variety of topics related to industrial and applied mathematics, focusing on wavelet theory, sampling theorems, inverse problems and their applications, partial differential equations as a model of real-world problems, computational linguistics, mathematical models and methods for meteorology, earth systems,...

Brachytherapy: Applications and Techniques

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Brachytherapy is the clinical use of radioactive isotopes to provide a highly conformal image-guided radiation therapy that takes advantage of the steep fall off dose characteristics and different energetic emanations to improve the therapeutic ratio. Historically it was the first mode of radiation therapy. The last...
