Nanostructure control of materials

CRC Press, 2006

The World is confronted with a plethora of potentially disruptive technologies – some, such as nanotechnology, will inevitably challenge our cherished social, economic and industrial stability over the next two decades. Rational design and manufacture of materials properties through nanostructure control will profoundly...

Atmospheric Monitoring With Arduino: Building Simple Devices to Collect Data About the Environment

Make Books, 2012

We as a species are probably a little bit smarter than fish: at least we know that we spend our lives “swimming” at the bottom of an ocean of air. About 4/5th of that ocean is the relatively harmless gas nitrogen. Around another 1/5 of it is the highly reactive and slightly toxic gas oxygen. The...

Nutrition and Well-being a To Z; 2V.

Macmillan Technical, 2004

Nutrition is one of the most important factors that impact health in all areas of the lifecycle. Pregnant women need adequate food and health care to deliver a healthy baby who has a good birth weight and a fighting chance for survival. In many regions of the world, the infant mortality rate is very high, meaning that many...

Stable Isotopes in Ecology and Environmental Science

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

This book highlights new and emerging uses of stable isotope analysis in a variety of ecological disciplines. While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly. The second edition of this book provides a thorough, up-to-date...

Rogue Waves in the Ocean (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

The book is written for specialists in the fields of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, nonlinear physics, physical oceanography and geophysics, and also for students learning these subjects. It includes a wide range of observational data on rogue (or freak) waves in the seas and coastal waters, as well as presenting a basic statistical...

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...

Methods in Membrane Lipids (Methods in Molecular Biology)

Humana Press, 2007

Methods in Membrane Lipids presents a compendium of methodologies for the study of membrane lipids, varying from traditional lab bench experimentation to computer simulation and theoretical models. This volume provides a comprehensive set of techniques for studying membrane lipids, and their interactions with other membrane lipids, with...

Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

Springer, 2008

Pediatric Allergy,Asthma and Immunology is a new discipline that finds its foundation in this book, whose roots linke me to Elena and Luisa Businco,with whom I founded the first Italian Pediatric Allergy Division some 30years ago, now called the Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Division. There I discovered this world,...

Skeletal Trauma: Fractures, Dislocations, Ligamentous Injuries (2-Volume Set)

Saunders, 2003

The first edition of Skeletal Trauma: Fractures, Dislocations, Ligamentous Injuries was written between 1988 and 1991. This represented a unique window for the creation of this text, coinciding with the increased recognition of the special needs of trauma victims. By the mid-1980s, more than 500 regional trauma centers had...

Selenium in Food and Health

Springer, 2006

Selenium is a contradictory nutrient. It has been called the essential poison—too much of it in the diet can be toxic; too little can result in chronic, and sometimes fatal, deficiency. Even health authorities have at times been confused. Although today in the USA, as in most other countries, selenium appears among the trace...

Baroclinic Tides: Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less energetic surface wave and other internal modes with different wavelengths and propagation speeds. This cascading process, from the barotropic tides to the...
