We are constantly reminded of social and environmental issues, such as pollution, global warming, species extinction, social volatility, and the growing disparity in wealth. These prompt a feeling that we need to act. But which of the many simple, straightforward solutions offered to us with the promise of a better future should we believe in? Should we put more faith in technology, innovation and the market, or more in behavioural changes, li...

For Theon, what should have been the best day of his life turned into the worse day of his life.Losing his college sweetheart, his wife, was hard.Could he ever come back from this? Deep down, he knows hehas to survive somehow, but the question is how?Alana is a single mom of three - struggling to cope with her daughter's illness. She isn't looking for love and certainly not in the hospital where her sick daughter is.You can't help who, how, or...

In this classic Robert Dean Frisbie describes the idyllic Tahitian life that Paul Gauguin painted so memorably. He writes: "During twelve years of wandering among the atolls of the South Seas I have attempted, at odd moments, to re-create from memory fragmentary passages from my life in a Tahitian village. These sketches and incidents are an attempt to recapture something of the spirit of native Tahitian life as I knew it during the first thre...

Wonderful species dangerously threatened with extinction, according with IUCN SSC 2012 report. Animals known by few, doomed to disappear on account of man. Especies espectaculares peligrosamente a riesgo de extinción, según la relación del 2012 de la IUCN SSC Animales poco conocidos, condenados a desaparecer por culpa del hombre Specie spettacolari pericolosamente a rischio estinzione, secondo il rapporto del 2012 dell'IUCN SSC Animali conosci...

This story will be of interest to those interested in the development of rail transportation in Kentucky and to those who fancy the history of the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific and the Southern Railway. There stories of mergers and progress that made the railway for many years a major factor in Kentucky's economic health. The postcards are placed in the geographic settings within Kentucky, thus showing how Kentucky grew and prospered...

The sol-gel method is a powerful route of synthesis used worldwide. It produces bulk, nano- and mesostructured sol-gel materials, which can encapsulate metallic and magnetic nanoparticles, non-linear azochromophores, perovskites, organic dyes, biological molecules, etc.. This can have interesting applications for catalysis, photocatalysis, drug delivery for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's and Azheimer's. In ...

Analytical pyrolysis deals with the structural identification and quantitation of pyrolysis products with the ultimate aim of establishing the identity of the original material and the mechanisms of its thermal decomposition. The pyrolytic process is carried out in a pyrolyzer interfaced with analytical instrumentation such as gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS), or with Fo...

This book describes recent studies on modern control systems using various control techniques. The control systems cover large complex systems such as train operation systems to micro systems in nanotechnology. Various control trends and techniques are discussed from practically modern approaches such as Internet of Things, artificial neural networks, machine learning to theoretical approaches such as zero-placement, bang-bang, optimal control...

Generally, in accordance with anatomical characteristics, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and in particular recurrent UTIs occur in women, in contrast, UTIs normally occur in men with different predisposing factors. There are several types of UTIs, including asymptomatic and symptomatic, complicated and uncomplicated, acute and chronic with a diversity of microbial pathogens. In pathogens, virulence factors and genes determine the type and sev...

Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology in medicines at an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular level. Nanomedicine covers a wide range of topics from the development of nanomaterials for use in medicines to the synthesis of nanomedicines with their multiple applications. The major focus of the book is on developments in nanomedicines and their effectiveness compared to conventional drugs. Some drugs are administered twice daily for...

Management of paranasal sinus disorders is not only a test of knowledge but it is also an art form. Great progress has been made on endoscopic sinus surgery in recent decades and this technique lets us look into the remote corners of sinuses. However, we still have a lot of challenging issues. The only way to solve these problems is to face them. Based on these concepts, this book incorporates new clinical and research developments as well as ...

Engineered fabrics have gained special attention from all quarters due to their adaptability for unconventional applications. Engineered fabrics are used in a range of technical products such as seatbelt fabrics, automotive textiles, geotextiles, and other industrial textiles. This book provides a comprehensive review and case studies of engineered fabrics used in civil engineering as geotextiles. Engineered fabrics cover a huge area from text...

This book covers the recent advances in solar photovoltaic materials and their innovative applications. Many problems in material science are explored for enhancing the understanding of solar cells and the development of more efficient, less costly, and more stable cells. This book is crucial and relevant at this juncture and provides a historical overview focusing primarily on the exciting developments in the last decade. This book primarily ...

The body mass index has an important place in weight control. Attention should be paid to the regularization of anthropometric measures and to physical activity to protect from increasing obesity that is associated with chronic noncommunicable conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Also, attention should be paid to the countries that are developing. The daily intake of calories, carbohydrates, oils and prot...

Materials science is the magic that allows us to change the chemical composition and microstructure of material to regulate its corrosion-mechanical, technological, and functional properties. Five major classes of stainless steels are widely used: ferritic, austenitic, martensitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening. Austenitic stainless steels are extensively used for service down to as low as the temperature of liquid helium (-269ºC). This ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has become one of the leading spectroscopic techniques. It targets materials containing unpaired electrons and possesses many applications. Since it was discovered more than 70 years ago, EPR spectroscopy is subjected to uninterrupted development and comprehensive studies. This book represents some of recent topics from EPR research.
