Physiological, Developmental and Behavioral Effects of Marine Pollution

Springer, 2013

Synthesizing decades of work, but up-to-date, this book focuses on organism-level responses to pollutants by marine animals, mainly crustaceans, molluscs, and fishes. Emphasizing effects on physiological processes (feeding/digestion, respiration, osmoregulation), life-cycle (reproduction [including endocrine disruption], embryo...

Effects of Pollution on Fish: Molecular Effects and Population Responses

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

In April l999 an article appeared in Fishing News under the headline ‘Dredging and pollution hit stocks far more than fishing’. The article reported on claims made by an environmental group that these two anthropogenic impacts are causing a far greater decline of fish stocks in the North Sea than ‘supposed overfishing’ and...

The Hype About Hydrogen: Fact and Fiction in the Race to Save the Climate

Island Press, 2005

In his 2003 State of the Union address, President Bush seized the nation's attention with his advocacy of a "hydrogen economy," with fuel cells that produce energy and water taking the place of fossil fuels in cars that produce greenhouse gases. As Romm (Cool Companies), a former Department of Energy official in the Clinton...

Remote Sensing Image Analysis: Including the Spatial Domain (Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing)

Springer, 2007

Remote Sensing image analysis is mostly done using only spectral information on a pixel by pixel basis. Information captured in neighbouring cells, or information about patterns surrounding the pixel of interest often provides useful supplementary information. This book presents a wide range of innovative and advanced image processing methods for...

Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger

Adventures Unlimited Press, 2005

Viktor Schauberger, 1885-1958, was a radical pioneer of the study of the subtle energies in nature and the importance of living water in all natural processes. From unusually detailed observations of the natural world, he pioneered a completely new understanding of how nature works. He foresaw, and tried to warn against global waste and costly...

Understanding Atmospheric Dispersion of Accidental Releases

John Wiley & Sons, 1995

As introduction to the subject of this document, dispersion from accidental releases encompasses many different aspects. It includes the methods of classical air pollution modeling used in estimating the dispersion of dilute air pollutants, but also encompasses the more complex physics of dense-vapor and high-momentum releases, boiling and...

Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests: From Research to Field Implementation

Springer, 2007

The world population is still growing at an alarming rate, requiring ever increasing productivity and less waste in agriculture to cope with the increasing demands to satisfy food security for all humans. Alleviation of poverty is in many countries hampered by a myriad of insect pests that cause enormous economic...
