Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Providing an introduction to the crucially important topic of groundwater, this text covers all major fields of hydrogeology and includes outlines of the occurrence of groundwater in various rock types, the movement and storage of groundwater, the formulation of groundwater balances, the development of groundwater chemistry, as well as the practical application of hydrogeology for groundwater development. Following a unique systems approach to describe and connect its various elements, the text also explores a large selection of examples of groundwater cases from various parts of the world. In addition, theoretical sections and examples are illustrated with a number of drawings, photos and computer printouts. Suitable for education in hydrogeology at postgraduate and graduate level, the text is also a useful reference tool for professionals and decision-makers involved in water or water-related activities. In the revised paperback edition more attention is paid to the processes in the unsaturated zone, especially those relating to groundwater recharge. Also, the investigation methods are highlighted in the sections where the related theory is dealt with, and they are not presented in the last chapter on groundwater management. The References and Bibliography section is also extended, some figures are improved, and the inevitable 'typing errors' are corrected as well.In the third edition, a more formal basis for the hydro-chemical processes described in the chapter on groundwater chemistry has been added. Mass balances and the principles of dispersion and retardation are introduced. Additional illustrations are provided, also explaining the processes occurring along streamlines.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Approaching the material from the viewpoint of a user of a commercial flow package, this book initially limits the description of the mathematics to the level that is strictly needed to make the correct choices when setting up a case in a commercial flow solver. It discusses the sources of errors in FD solutions using simple examples with finite differences, and they are demonstrated with mesh convergence studies. It focuses on the understanding of how the flow physics interact with a typical finite-volume discretization.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Managing technical programs successfully is as much art as it is science. This book illuminates the entire life cycle of the program-from customer's original concept to successful completion. It offers an overview of the entire process and includes helpful ideas and insights into why programs and program managers can fail. Much more importantly, it provides insights as to how program managers can succeed. The book also deals directly with identifying scope creep-both internal and external.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It is widely believed and repeatedly stated that herbal drugs, being natural, are devoid of all toxic or adverse effects. This misconception often leads to the misuse of herbal drugs either independently or in combination with other drugs. This book embodies a survey of about 1500 medicinal plants and herbal products. It includes more than 100 examples of adverse side effects and drug interactions, a review of herbal drugs from 27 countries, and the effects of 75 commonly used Indian medicinal plants.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book addresses concepts essential to biomaterial production methods and cell and material interactions. Featuring contributions from molecular biologists, chemists, and material scientists, the text reflects the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, covering topics such as biosensing, immunology, and controlled delivery. It explores the cell and material interface and its engineering at length scales ranging from the nano to the macro, providing practical examples. The book explains the role of the cell and material interface in the context of tissue engineering, nanoparticles, natural polymers, and more.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book, based on material used for lecture courses on physical-chemical mechanics, is a comprehensive overview of physical-chemical mechanics, a discipline that bridges solid-state physics and materials science. It investigates the complex physical-chemical interfacial phenomena that occur during the transition of a dispersed system into a material and of the dispersal of a bulk material. It also devotes attention to the experimental methods used in physical-chemical mechanics and the relevant instruments.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The health-related effects of asbestos have long been mired in controversy, with industry and plaintiff attorneys playing a significant role. This comprehensive book provides a balanced and extensive evidence-based critical analysis of the literature concerning asbestos-related diseases, from a scientific and historical perspective. The book presents a carefully referenced review of the medical literature on the health effects of asbestos, and reflects the extensive experience of the author in evaluating patients with asbestos-related disorders.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The product of 20 years of research, this book covers topics in soft tissue elasticity in vivo, from measurement techniques to clinical applications. It provides, for the first time, a single source that systematically introduces the various techniques for in vivo measurement of soft tissue elasticity in an effort to ease the difficulty between learning technical details and clinical applications of techniques. It also proposes two critical directions for the future of the field that would establish standardized and comparable protocols in clinical research and practice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Trophoblasts are cells in the human placenta that play a vital role in fetal growth and pregnancy. This book discusses the role of nutrients on human placental development with particular focus on the impact of nutrients on trophoblast function. Exposure to nutrients in utero is critical, as it affects the development of chronic diseases such as type2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and obesity in later life. The text also reviews the role of fatty acids, folic acids and specific vitamins.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book assesses current efforts in marine biomedicine and evaluates the implications of recent advances on the future of the field. The book covers four sections. The first one addresses the technology that has recently been brought to bear on the study of marine natural products, including omic and bioinformatic techniques. The second focuses on lead discovery and reviews various products and their activities. Examples of clinically successful marine products and discussions of approaches to the clinic are presented in the third section while the last section discusses prospects for the future of marine biodiscovery.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When confronted with a problem in science, the way to proceed is not always obvious. The problem may seem intractable or there may be many possible solutions, with some better than others. Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry teaches students how to analyze and solve real-world problems that occur in an environmental context, and it encourages creativity in developing solutions to situations based on events that have actually taken place.The problems described in this book are relevant and stimulating in learning and understanding the principles of green and sustainable chemistry. They address various aspects of the field, including:ToxicityWaste generation and disposalChemical accidentsEnergy efficiencyNew policy developmentThe final chapter contains proposed solutions to the presented problems and provides commentaries and references to relevant literature.This book also prompts students to become more comfortable with the idea of multiple 'correct' answers to problems. It emphasizes the reality that green chemistry is about making practical decisions and weighing multiple factors that are often conflicting, thus making it difficult or impossible to apply one perfect solution to a given situation. Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry prepares students to solve challenging problems, whether as green chemists, as architects designing energy-efficient buildings, or as environmentally-conscious citizens. 175 pp. Englisch.
