Biodegradability Prediction
ISBN: 9789401063982 / Angielski / Miękka / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Biodegradation is the dominant pathway for the environmental transformation of most chemicals and information on a chemical's biodegradability is essential for proper risk assessment. But there are few methods for predicting whether or not a chemical is biodegradable, since this depends on the chemical's structure as well as on the environmental conditions that it encounters.
The present book deals with quantitative structure-biodegradability relationship models (QSBRs), emphasizing the biological and ecological part of the biodegradation process. Surveys are given of the microbial... Biodegradation is the dominant pathway for the environmental transformation of most chemicals and information on a chemical's biodegradability is esse...

Energy in Australia: Peak Oil, Solar Power, and Asia's Economic Growth
ISBN: 9783319029399 / Angielski / Miękka / 91 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With rapidly declining costs and seemingly unlimited sunshine, the choice of solar in Australia seems obvious. Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to deflect the trajectory of fossil fuel dependence. The reasons for this apparent paradox are varied, and this book provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the practical applications...

River Republic: The Fall and Rise of America's Rivers
ISBN: 9780231161312 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Daniel McCool not only chronicles the history of water development agencies in America and the way in which special interests have abused rather than preserved the country's rivers, he also narrates the second, brighter act in this ongoing story: the surging, grassroots movement to bring these rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations. The culmination of ten years of research and observation, McCool's book confirms the surprising news that America's rivers are indeed returning to a healthier, free-flowing condition. The politics of river restoration...

Greening the Red, White, and Blue: The Bomb, Big Business, and Consumer Resistance in Postwar America
ISBN: 9780199791200 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In popular imagination, environmentalism is often linked to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and the political activism of the 1960s and '70s that moved increasing numbers of Americans to insist on a better quality of life-open spaces, clean air and water, beautification campaigns. But these interpretations have obscured the significant origins of environmentalism as a moral and intellectual broadside against the growing power of corporate capitalism, both domestically and in the postwar liberal international order the United States was enacting abroad. In Greening the Red,...

United Arab Emirates Keys to Soil Taxonomy
ISBN: 9789400774193 / Angielski / Twarda / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Central to human life and civilization, soils are an integral part of the physical and cultural environment. Although we may take them for granted, the rise and fall of civilizations is closely linked with the use and abuse of soil and water resources. It is therefore important to evaluate soils for their quality and link them to appropriate uses and services. This book provides information on soil classification and shows how to key out taxa relevant to UAE soils. The latest soil inventory of United Arab Emirates reveals that a rather uniform looking desert landscape has, in fact, a...

Perspectives on Ecological Integrity
ISBN: 9789401042024 / Angielski / Miękka / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Concepts of ecological integrity have recently been proposed to facilitate enhanced protection of biological and ecological resources against the threat of human activities. The promotion of ecological integrity as a basis for public policy and decision making stems from scientists and others concerned about the threats of human activities to ecosystems and species, and from philosophers attempting to derive a more suitable ethic to guide the relationships between humans and the non-human environment. Although ecological integrity has been proposed as a norm for public policy and decision...

Cenas: Coastline Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea Due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropogenic Land Subsidence
ISBN: 9789401061636 / Angielski / Miękka / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Upper Adriatic Sea basin comprises a very precarious coastal environment subject to continuous changes which prove appreciable not only over the geological scale but also in historical and modern times. According to some Authors the Venice Lagoon was formed 2000-3000 years ago, and other lagoons (e. g. the Grado Lagoon in the northernmost part of the Adriatic) are even more recent. In addition to lagoons, the Upper Adriatic coastal area includes salt and fresh-water marshes and reclaimed land separated by several watercourses originating from the Alpine and Apennine ranges with a ground...

Advanced Nuclear Systems Consuming Excess Plutonium
ISBN: 9789401037433 / Angielski / Miękka / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A survey of recent developments in the field of plutonium disposal by the application of advanced nuclear systems, both critical and subcritical. Current national R&D plans are summarized. The actinide-fuelled critical reactors are associated with control problems, since they tend to have a small delayed neutron fraction coupled with a small Doppler effect and a positive void coefficient. Current thinking is turning to accelerator-driven subcritical systems for the transmutation of actinides.
The book's conclusion is that the various systems proposed are technically feasible, even... A survey of recent developments in the field of plutonium disposal by the application of advanced nuclear systems, both critical and subcritical. Curr...
