Productive direct conversion of lignocelluloses into liquid organic products by electron distillation of crude wood or by dry distillation of preliminarily irradiated wood is considered. Electron-beam conversion is several times more effective than ordinary hydrolytic, pyrogenous or enzymatic processing of wood. Distillation of wood by electron-beam energy yields a number of the useful reagents for heavy organic synthesis and fuel productions....

Most organisations use, transform, distribute or sell materials of one or several kinds. The management of materials has serious implication on the financial, production, and marketing functions of an organisation. As the level of complexity of a product increases, so does the importance of managing materials. To fulfil their role in providing products and services, enterprises must satisfy the needs of production, as well as services through ...

Preparatory abilities acquired in kindergarten are found to be strong predictors for later proficient arithmetic abilities. A research line was designed to examine if we could predict the level of children's mathematical abilities in first and second grade from their performance on preparatory abilities in kindergarten. The results pointed out that good predictions of beginning mathematical abilities can be made. Even in the long term, it was ...

In this book, the author provides a brief introduction to a completely new theory in semantics, Operational Semantics (OS), which concerns the meanings of the basic linguistic elements that are indispensable for any linguistic expression, that is, mainly the "grammatical" words and, in the large number of languages that have a more or less rich morphology, almost all morphemes. OS differs significantly from other existing theories.

The environment is considered the surroundings in which an organism operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation. It is this environment that is both so valuable on the one hand, and so endangered on the other. And it is people that are by and large ruining the environment, both for themselves and for all other organisms. This book presents and discusses research in this field of study. ...

This book presents state-of-the-art research in polymer science.

Photonic crystals (PCs) have many fascinating optical characteristics. Photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) and PCW-based devices are rapidly being proposed, designed, and simulated due to their small device size. Similar with PCWs, periodic dielectric waveguides (PDWs) are also waveguides in periodic medium. Compared with PCWs, periodic dielectric waveguides (PDWs) are considered newcomers. Attributed to the fact that the optical field is confi...

This book is a continuation of the book entitled 'Striving for the "Perfect" Classroom: Instruction and Assessment Techniques for Today's Diverse Learners' which addresses the numerous teaching responsibilities which are needed to build "perfect" classrooms. This book highlights the special needs for English Language Learners (ELLs) and provided helpful web sites on topics addressed throughout the book.

Die Polymerfasertechnik für optische Datenübertragung hat sich in den letzten fünf Jahrensehr dynamisch entwickelt. Beginnend mit einfachen Übertragungsmöglichkeiten für denConsumerbereich, wie den digitalen Links zwischen DVD-Player und Vorverstärker im Heim-Multimediabereich (TOSLINK-System) mit Datenraten von einigen Mbit/s, hat sich dieTechnologie inzwischen im Heim- und Automotive-Bereich etabliert. Hier wird im sichtbarenWellenlängenbere...

Die steigenden Anforderungen an die Mobilität, die zeitgleich den Ausstoß von Emissionen und den Verbrauch auf das Minimalste reduzieren sollen, stellen die Automobilhersteller vor immer größer werdende Herausforderungen, die die herkömmlichen Antriebe nicht mehr erfüllen können. Eine der innovativsten und emissionsärmsten Alternativen stellt die Brennstoffzelle dar. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein HT-PEMFC-System für den mobilen Einsatz zu...

Die Elektronik und die Informatik wird in den nächsten Jahrzehnten einenimmer höheren Stellenwert im Bereich der Fahrzeugsicherheit einnehmen.Neue Sensoren zur Umweltwahrnehmung werden die Fahrzeuge in die Lageversetzen angemessen auf die aktuelle Verkehrssituation zu reagieren. Eswird erwartet, dass aktive Sicherheitssysteme, wie beispielsweise die au-tomatische Notbremsung, Fußgänger- und Radfahrererkennung und Funk-tionen zur Unfallvermeidu...

The volume is an attempt to assess the meanings of 1989, in particular the multiple transformation processes and their effects in Eastern Europe. Obviously, the realities of the post-communist transformations have not met the expectations. Were the expectations too high? Did democratic institutions prove incompatible with local cultures? Was their implementation too fast to correspond to a genuine development of democratic culture? Whatever th...

Admiral John Benbow was an English naval hero, a fighting sailor of ruthless methods but indomitable courage. Benbow was a man to be reckoned with. In 1702, however, when Benbow engaged a French squadron off the Spanish main, other ships in his squadron failed to support him. His leg shattered by a cannon-ball, Benbow fought on - but to no avail: the French escaped and the stricken Benbow succumbed to his wounds. When the story of his 'Last Fi...

In the early days of Vajrayana few Tibetan Lamas visited Britain, and eager students were often prepared to travel considerable distances to receive instruction. Yet some sought out a young Englishman recently returned from the Himalayas. Inspired by the magic and mystery of Tibet, they were keen to discover the lived meaning. Ngak'chang Rinpoche's teachings were simple, direct, and experiential. The four evening talks contained here deal with...
