Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Soil pollution is a very important environmental issue that has been attracting considerable public attention over the last few decades. Agricultural sustainability and civilization of society enormously depend on land. However, contamination of soil due to heavy metals is a major threat to mankind. Cd is one of the most toxic metals in the environment and has noxious effects on vegetative growth. Pb is the second ranked of most widely distributed hazardous substances in the environment and can cause morphological, physiological, and biological dysfunctions in plants. The book covers phytoextraction, a method of phytoremediation that demonstrates the uptake and accumulation of heavy metals like Pb and Cd in the roots and aerial components like stem and leaves, as well as the effects on morphological parameters like root length and shoot length of Jatropha , Coleus & Cascabela spp. Different heavy metal concentrations were applied to the garden plants during the experiment. AAS method was used to measure the accumulation of heavy metals in the plants.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The De Havilland Mosquito and the Avro Lancaster were two of the most legendary British aircraft of all time, eclipsed only by the immortal Supermarine Spitfire in fame. They flew for the first time six weeks apart, on 25.11.1940 the Mosquito and on 9.1.1941 the Lancaster and they were both powered by the same RR Merlin engine. Commencing bomber operations over Europe in the spring of 1942, they were also produced in similar numbers (7,781 Mosquitoes and 7,377 Lancasters). Still, they served two different design philosophies: the mainstream philosophy of a slow, heavily armed bomber with a devastating payload (the mighty Lancaster), versus the alternative one of a very fast and unarmed combat aircraft made of wood, with many applications (the compact and multi-role Mosquito). A crucial question inevitably arises: which of the two was more cost/effective Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The method of layer potentials is one of the classical approaches to solving boundary value problems for elliptic differential equations. This method reduces the original problem to that of inverting an operator of the form '1/2+K' on appropriate function spaces on the boundary. If the boundary is smooth, then the double-layer potential operator K is compact; hence, '1/2+K' is Fredholm of index zero. However, if the boundary is non-smooth, the operator K is no longer compact. This book delves into the method of layer potentials on certain domains with singularities from a groupoid perspective. Through a desingularization process and integration of Lie algebroids, we can construct a Lie groupoid that encodes the geometry and singularities of the domain. Subsequently, we can identify the operator K with an invariant family of that Lie groupoid. By applying techniques from C\*-algebras and Lie groupoids, we can establish the Fredholm property of the operator '1/2+K'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study aims to answer the following question: How do external factors, particularly the global political economy and means of democracy promotion affect democratic transitions With a special focus on Indonesia and Azerbaijan (1998-2005) and through using Larry Diamond's model of democracy transition, this study argues that external factors play a significant role in the transition (or lack of transition) towards democracy. While in Indonesia, the global political economy increased the vulnerability of Indonesia to the risks of international economic crises, hence leading to the decline in economic growth and eventually undermining the legitimacy of Suharto, in Azerbaijan, Oil played a different role in strengthening international economic relations, improving economic growth and consolidating Ilham Aliyev's regime. Similarly, state actors, non-state actors, international organisations. democratic assistance and democratic diffusion played a key role in promoting democracy in Indonesia while demoting democracy in Azerbaijan.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Caregiving is a complex process that requires a lot of emotional and economic investment. In Indian context, caregiving is majorly earmarked for women, resulting in them juggling between multiple responsibilities. Having a disabled child elevates the burden of a caregiver, and it is especially so when it comes to taking care of a child with autism. As autism is often considered as an invisible developmental disability that affects the capability to communicate, interact and reciprocate, caregiving a child with autism demands more effort and time. Studies report that maternal caregivers of children with autism suffer from depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness. The marital satisfaction of these mothers are found to be low as the demands of caregiving a child with autism have ripples effects on their marital quality. This book is on the Marital Satisfaction Scale developed by the authors in measuring the marital satisfaction of those mothers who are the caregivers of their children with autism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Welcome to the timely publication of this book. Plastic is ubiquitous as packaging material or as part of many products of our daily life. However, due to the steadily increasing global plastic production, plastic particles can now be found everywhere in the environment. It is estimated that between four and twelve million tonnes of plastic enter the seas and oceans every year. Plastic particles, which are intentionally manufactured, are called primary plastic particles. They are added to daily life products like cosmetics or are used in research and diagnostics. Fragmentation of larger plastic items into smaller pieces yields so called secondary plastics and the degradation is caused by exposure to sun, wind or water. In order to assess the potential risk of plastic particles in various sizes, details on the amount of particles released into the environment, their origin, the underlying transformation and fragmentation processes as well as the environmental effects are needed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
