This book offers a stable definition of sustainability, which is able to serve as an anchor for further research. It compares new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics).

This book introduces the fundamentals of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics, and shows how the functionality of piezotroics and piezo-phototronics are complementary to CMOS technology. Describes applications in sensing, nanorobotics and many other areas.

This book will help businesses identify, understand and overcome the barriers to and in their own brands. It features case studies from well known brands, in a range of categories, as well as useful checklists for daily business.

Grounded in philosophy and psychology, this book goes beyond standard recipes and models to examine such leadership qualities as charisma, the ability to motivate others and assertiveness, showing how to overcome crises and conflicts to create new structures.

In this book, the authors show how subject-oriented business process management (S-BPM) and its tools can be used in order to solve communication and synchronization problems involving humans and/or machines in an organization.

This book helps designers and manufacturers to select and develop the most suitable and competitive steel structures, which are safe, fit for production and economic. It presents new studies to many mechanical optimization problems in industry.

Guiding readers all the way from basic calculations to optimizing fiber-chip coupling efficiency, this volume reflects the diversity of the field of packaging photonic devices and is the first and only comprehensive sourcebook on photonic assembly techniques.

Modern comprehensive introduction and overview of the physics of White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Black Holes, including all relevant observations. Contains a basic introduction to General Relativity, including the modern 3+1 split of spacetime and of Einstein's equations.

In spite of the favourable climatic conditions for the production of varieties of delicious fruits in such countries, continuously high tempemtures shorten the shelf-life of most fruits and fruit products.

UV-VIS spectroscopy is one of the oldest methods in molecular spectroscopy. For this reason, a lecture series about electronic spectroscopy given in the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Dusseldorf was supplemented by one about "UV-VIS spectroscopy and its applications".

What I mean is that the theoretical framework accom panying organic chemistry, long and fruitfully laboring on a quantum chemical understanding of structure, is now making the first tentative motions toward building an organic theory of reactivity.

Aromatic organic hydrocarbons and heterocycles represent a bulk of about one third of all industrially produced organic basic materials.

In Nordic literature a remarkable discussion of the northern light appears in Kongespeilet (The King's Mirror) a thirteenth-century Norwegian chronicle.

Compared with forces occurring in soil mechanics problems in civil engineering, the forces that are applied to soil in farming operations generally have a short duration, less than a few seconds, a small loaded area, no more than a few square decimeters, and small intensities, 10 bar being a high value.

A more complete understanding of soil chemistry and plant nutrition has led to greater fertilizer use with improved fertilization methods and crop cultural practices. The modem fertilizer industry and with it fertilization practices began in the humid countries of the world.

Although it is possible to describe complex systems of living organisms in holistic terms, the most useful descriptions are found in terms of the birth, growth and death of individ uals.

In recent years, a number of textbooks on forensic science have been published, most of them directed to two groups, viz. In this book, while covering fundamental concepts, we try to go a little further and address also active workers in the field of forensic chemistry.
