Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Processes that are environmentally friendly, energy and resource renewable continue to attract promotion. Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is largely derived from wood pulp and cotton linters. The wood source comes with hazards of deforestation while cotton is a high net-worth crop. Environmental concerns and potentials of resource recovery from agricultural wastes or plant residues have generated huge interest in alternative sources for cellulose. It is against this background that the stalk of sorghum and andropogon grass which constitute huge agricultural wastes in Nigeria were studied as non-woody source of microcrystalline cellulose. Physico-technical characteristics, Compression and compaction behaviour, as well as reworking capacity of the MCC grades compared favourably with Avicel®PH101. The yield indicate high prospect for commercialization and use in cosmetic or Pharma Industry. This book, the first in the Author¿s series on renewable resource, epitomizes treasures in plant residues. The insight should provoke further thought processes in individuals, Industrialists, researchers, agriculturists, investors and policy makers on value addition within the environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The idea of Deep Ecology was proposed and developed by the Norwegian ecophilosopher Arne Naess in 1972-1991. The main work of Naess, which brought him international fame, ¿Ecology, community and life-style¿, was published in 1989. His ecosophy T is most accurately characterized by the following thesis: the satisfaction derived from the things that lead to the destruction of nature, is a passive i.e. possession of material values which are harmful for the environment can not be considered as happiness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book raises the question whether the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (the SCO) can play the role that is prescribed in its basic documents in its current state. The authors summarize the views of the expert community on the SCO in the following way: ¿Over the years of its existence, it has not evolved into a typical association with developed multilateralism. Despite the presence of the necessary attributes of the international organization, it really represents a platform for the establishment and development of bilateral relations between its members¿. Character and peculiarities of the SCO, its antiterrorist activity, current expansion of the Organization are assessed in the book. An analysis of the state of economic cooperation which becomes the defining factor in the SCO was given. New trends in the SCO activity in the second decade of the XXI- century are revealed by the authors. Taking into account the contradictory nature of the Organization itself, its current state in conditions of expansion, the authors are questioning the SCO's ability to ensure security in Eurasia today.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the ever-changing healthcare systems, the increased complexity of health problems, advanced technology, and increased healthcare costs, nurses must often take an active role in being sound clinical decision makers. In fact, nurses are often required, under these uncertain conditions, to make immediate decisions for providing care based on the best available evidence. As nursing care becomes increasingly complex, nurses need to be equipped with decision-making skills to direct them when managing patients in order to maintain positive patient outcomes. To face such demands, it is crucial that nurses develop sound decision-making skills. Nurses who have sound clinical decision-making skills will be able to provide safe and effective patient care. Prudent clinical decision making can be learned; thus, educators should actively engage nursing students in clinical practice to improve their performance, which will be reflected in patient outcomes. Consequently, it is the responsibility of nurse educators to develop and ensure a high-quality curriculum, which includes clinical methods and pedagogy that prepare nurses for this ever-evolving, more demanding environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Disasters are common phenomena over the existence of human. It greatly influenced the rise and fall of civilization (Reilly, 2009a). However, since the number of has risen sharply globally making the risk of disasters a worldwide concern (Reilly, 2009a). United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction/ UNISDR (2009) defines disaster as ¿a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources¿. Disasters can take many different forms, and with any different the durations. Based on their natural origins, disasters can be generally classified into two groups; natural and man-made disaster. United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction/ UNISDR (2009) describes ¿natural disaster¿ as the natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. The level of impacted to community can vary based on community¿s resilience.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The monograph is a vivid illustration of the effectiveness of percolation approach to the modeling of various processes of underground hydromechanics. Examples of consideration of complex problems related to the description of fluid flows in porous media are presented. The results obtained are very interesting not only from the scientific point of view but as the scientific basis for a number of enhanced oil recovery technologies. A percolation model of electrolyte flow in a porous medium is constructed taking into account the effect of a double electric layer on the flow in microcapillaries. On the basis of this model necessary adjustments will be made to the hydrodynamic development models. Percolation model of the hysteresis of the relative permeabilities for any type of collector is presented. The analytic integral expressions obtained make it possible to trace the trends of their dependence on various flow parameters. The analysis of osmotic and ion-exchange processes in the fluids flow in a clay-containing porous medium is carried out. This allowed us to determine the reasons for the increase in oil recovery under the changing of hydrochemical regime of the reservoir.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Coordinated Border Management Plan (CBMP) articulates various dimensions of cooperation. Transnational security threats jeopardize overall stability and put adverse effect on the internal law and order situation. Border security analysts consider the cooperation as the best example of border management. Non-integrated approach, trade imbalance between the countries, unwillingness from the hierarchy, awareness of the bordering people, political involvement both from within and outside are the few major challenges of effective border management. The corner stone of the suggested option is to develop an effective cooperation mechanism among the various stake holders. At national level, integrated border management system with a robust mechanism for cooperation within related agencies, Bi-lateral cooperation and International cooperation for establishing a regional forum and international forum among border guarding forces should get the highest priority for peaceful border management.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Although undesirable effects are identified with antiarrhythmic drugs, such as prolongation of the QT interval, these effects may also occur using drugs with non-cardiac indications including antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, several antimalarials, cisapride, probucol, tracolimus, antibiotics and others. Moreover, the association of drugs may potentiate QT prolongation thereby predisposing the patient to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. At the end of this book, we will report the case of one patient who had acquired LQTS with its most feared manifestation, torsade de pointes. The case reported and the literature review brings to light the discussion of acquired LQTS resulting from the combination of drugs. The idea that antihistamine drugs cause LQTS and Torsades de Pointes is not a new concept however this fact is often not remembered in the daily practice. Although it is an apparently innocuous association, the different mechanisms of action of these drugs on cardiac ion channels overlap, predisposing patients to LQTS and its feared complications. Our intention with this work is to draw attention to this important drug interaction for alert other physicians.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A review of the early and contemporary literature addressing the historical development of the upper Wabash Valley in Indiana. Radiocarbon dating methods have been documented to provide approximate elevations for at least three lake stages for the pro-glacial Lake Maumee, a predecessor to Lake Erie. Breakout flooding breached multiple recessional moraines in northeast Indiana, and flowed through the Wabash-Erie Outlet near Ft. Wayne, Indiana and into an incipient upper Wabash Valley. Many large-scale depositional and erosional features have been described throughout the literature as well as many additional features discovered, measured, and mapped in this study. The size and areal extent of these deposits and erosional features are a result from mega-flooding events during the Cary Sub-Stage of the Wisconsin Stage of the Pleistocene Epoch. A paleo-hydraulic reconstruction is developed from indirect and direct field evidence that remains remarkably preserved within the Wabash Valley. Mega-ripples and braided overflow drainage networks were used in part to establish the geometry of upstream and downstream cross sections used to compute the velocity and discharge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

The goal of this book is to isolate a unified theory, which correlates all the thermodynamic interrelated phenomena taking place during the production of laser beam craters in low-water-content tissues, and present a solution for the geometry of the stable limiting crater. This book presents new evidence about the existence of the acceleration followed by a constant speed in the development of the crater¿s horizon. A fundamental link between this speed and the equation regulating the growth of the crater¿s volume as function of the exposure time is discussed as well.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of this volume is to attain survival power by means of maximizing a preference for life in terms of environmental conditions and minimizing stress of life. A variety of 'stressors' set into motion defense reactions mediated through the nervous and the hormonal systems. The word ¿stress¿ has not been often used before 1950s, and the number of central hospitals was considerably lower. Nowadays, it is normative that human life is so occupied by a wide range of stressors including due to ill human relations that the pleasure derived from the process of living is regretfully often drained away by stress. In present volume, we shall discuss cultural evidences of preference attaining survival power, and serious noise stresses at the very beginning human life in term of the human placental lactogen (HPL). The first stage in the evolution of life is the physical body, and the second stage is the mind. The third stage refers to that part in the evolution of life whose influence spans across time-space and may, therefore, contribute to the health, happiness and overall conditions of future generations. Every creation may be an extension of a person¿s unique personality and DNA.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
