It is important to make humanity understand the gravity of the ecological threat before us. This book presents the ecological, demographic, economic and socio-psychological manifestations of the global crisis we face.

This book offers a comprehensive review of the known literature data devoted to the reactions of a,ss-unsaturated ketones, their synthetic equivalents and precursor.

This book analyses the evolution of gas reserves and production from world and regional perspectives, focusing on rising and declining countries. Past and future trends of world and regional gas demand are explained with a focus on the European power sector.

This monograph is concerned with the III-V bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors, with the emphasis on the implications of multi-valley bandstructures for the physical mechanisms essential for opto-electronic devices.

For example, the top 20 terminals in the world showed an average relative increase of 14% with respect to the number of handled container units from 2006 to 2007, see Port of Hamburg Marketing (2008).

This reference covers technical information on ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and its application to air and surface disinfection and the control of pathogens and allergens. Its main focus is airborne microbes and surface contamination applications.

Vladimir Arnold is one of the greatest mathematical scientists of our time, as well as one of the finest, most prolific mathematical authors. This first volume of his Collected Works focuses on representations of functions, celestial mechanics and KAM theory.

This book provides innovative strategies for coastal protection along the southern North Sea region. It offers a sound basis for an integrated planning process combining participatory methods with adapted tools from socio-economic and ecologic evaluation.

The fundamental theme of this book is theoretical study of differential evolution and algorithmic analysis of parameter adaptive schemes. The book offers real-world insights into a variety of large-scale complex industrial applications.

This book presents geological characteristics and evolution of the fold belts and the cratonic areas of the Indian shield. It evaluates the different evolutionary models for each fold belt in light of all the currently available information.

This comprehensive, practical text discusses the critical factors for success in automotive development, from product strategy through all phases of development to series production. It characterizes the roles and activities of each phase.

Based on a course taught for years to students in both nuclear and biomedical engineering, this book first introduces the structure of matter at the subatomic scale before it covers the experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics.

The book describes results of investigations of a series of convective heat and mass transfer problems in rotating-disk systems. Methodology used included integral methods, self-similar and approximate analytical solutions, as well as CFD.

The edge and surface inspection is one of the most important and most challenging tasks in quality assessment in industrial production. Providing a valuable reference, this book offers a detailed description of optical methods for defect recognition.

This volume covers the range of MHD issues that have proven to be important for understanding magnetically confined plasmas as well as in some space and astrophysical applications. It includes an extensive appendix on extended MHD as further reading.

This book analyses the new landscape of UK counter terrorism powers and offences and focuses upon the deleterious consequences of the so-called war on terror on freedom of political expression and association.

This casebook addresses selected precedent-setting rulings of various international human rights and international criminal courts with a focus on the child victims of international crimes and human rights abuses.

This book presents a novel, hybrid, computationally-efficient reconstruction scheme for solving the problem of super-resolution restoration of high-resolution images from sequences of geometrically warped, aliased and under-sampled low-resolution images.

This book presents two interconnected mathematical models generalizing the Navier-Stokes system. The models, called the quasi-gas-dynamic and quasi-hydrodynamic equations, are then used as the basis of numerical methods solving gas- and fluid-dynamic problems.

Dynamic environments encompass many real-world problems in fields as diverse as finance, engineering and biology. This book describes the state-of-the-art in applying grammar-based evolutionary computation to solve real-world problems in dynamic environments.

This book is designed to serve the radiologist as a simple visual guide that illustrates the typical diagnostic radiological features of the most common congenital diseases and syndromes. It includes supplementary high-quality digital medical illustrations.

This resource provides a rich set of tools and methods to successfully implement leadership in project/network management. It is ideal for people who want to know and share better what they are going to do and do better what they have planned to do together.

Engineering Web applications involves many challenges due to their distributed nature, content orientation, and wide spectrum of end users. The authors analyze these challenges, covering the entire product lifecycle from design to deployment and maintenance.

This book explores entanglement and information and their role in the quantum world. Key experiments and thought experiments in the history of quantum physics are considered, as is a range of interpretations of quantum mechanics that illuminate microphysics.

The authors review the past 20 years' work in this field, and bring together for the first time details of the technology available and being developed to provide totally reusable launch vehicles for the future exploitation and exploration of space.
