Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes

CRC Press, 2003

Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting effects is not new, being raised by Allen and Doisy in 1924, again by Dodds et al. in 1938, and in the 1950s by Burlington and Lindeman, the issue has seen a growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of...

Optical Remote Sensing: Science and Technology (Optical Science and Engineering, Volume 84)

Marcel Dekker Inc, 2003

In recent years, much has transpired in the field of remote sensing and, in particular, polarization. Polarization is an outgrowth of multiple, highly accurate photometric measurements. Plane polarization is the difference between precision photometric measurements in two mutually perpendicular directions. Circular polarization...
