Discusses the ground water quality concerns associated with the planning and usage of septic tank systems. Since many existing systems are exceeding their design life by several-fold, the usage of synthetic organic chemicals in the household and for system cleaning is increasing, and larger-scale systems are being designed and used.

This valuable new book reviews past research on authority control, offers new findings, and documents important considerations for automating authority control. Covering a wide range of important topics, the contributors explore sharing authority records nationally and internationally, perspectives on recent research and theoretical studies, results of some new research with suggestions for future research, and descriptions of the design of three different computerized authority control systems along with the impact of two such systems on library operations.

This volume provides a broad-based, state-of-the-art overview of current knowledge and research into second language teaching and learning..

From a biomedical engineering perspective, this book takes an analytic, quantitative approach to describing the basic components of physiological regulators and control systems (PRCs). It also offers material on the potential of PRCs to treat immune system ailments, most notably AIDS and cancer.

Examines the array of packaging architecture, outlining the classification of materials and their use for various tasks requiring performance over time. This book discusses applications such as interconnections, printed circuit boards, substrates, encapsulants, dielectrics, die attach materials, electrical contacts, thermal materials, and solders.

Prenatal Cocaine Exposure addresses the timely problem of maternal cocaine abuse and its effects on exposed infants, including growth retardation, learning, cardiovascular effects, and seizures. The impact of substance abuse on this and future generations presents an ongoing challenge to medical science. This comprehensive and authoritative volume reviews both animal and clinical studies to explain implications for treatment and long-term outcomes of early exposure.

The study of post-dryout heat transfer has generated great interest because of its importance in determining maximum clad temperature in nuclear reactor loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs). This book provides coverage of post-dryout heat transfer. It is suitable for researchers and professionals in the nuclear and chemical production industries.

Presents critical information for assessing the medicinal potential of Taiwanese herbs. This book introduces the geographic advantages for growing varieties of medicinal plants and tables presenting information on the major constituents and therapeutic values of more than 1000 species.

Presents the principles that define and govern interactions between land activities and conditions in streams, lakes, and estuaries, offering an overview of hydrologic processes and key watershed characteristics. This text examines streamflow and water quality effects of specific land uses, including forest management, and urban development.

This text examines methods particularly suited for either a- or b-C-glycoside formation. Topics covered include: the use of C-glycosides as synthons in natural product synthesis; the use of electrophilic sugars in C-glycoside; and Wittig approaches to C-glycoside synthesis.

Presents an encyclopedic comparison of more than 7,000 enzymes, restriction endonucleases, DNA methyltransferases and enzyme mixtures, blends, and complexes. This book lists the general and unique properties of each enzyme so readers can directly compare differences among products and offers a worldwide listing of nearly 100 enzyme suppliers.
