Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The text shares decades long political and economic suppression faced by generations of Cubans at the hands of Western powers. Initially it transmits a message of inhumane Spanish governance and a quest for fortune at the expense of the local population. Further, more of the same would follow as US oversight replaced Spanish rule with the aid of the local aristocracy. Continuity as described herein amplifies internal division and as a consequence the historic 1959 revolution that would place Cuba at the vortex of an East/West confrontation on the North American continent. It posits the forging of an alliance between the Kremlin and the Cuban Communist Party and in return Washington¿s recourse in the form of attempted coup d¿etats and penalties (e.g., diplomatic and commercial cancellations). Moreover it accentuates Cubäs relentless struggle for social justice during the post-Cold War era and suggest possible alternatives to that end.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Self-compacting concrete is a concrete where vibration is not required for compaction. Due to its flow property the concrete is considered to be highly workable. A well-made SCC must have upraised fluidity, high segregation resistance and sufficient passing ability to flow across and close by reinforcement without interception or segregation. In order to produce self-compacting, self-levelling and flowing concretes, use of superplasticizers is mandatory. High cost is one of the disadvantages of SCC which is due to the use of huge volumes of portland cement and chemical admixtures.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world is warming and the weather is becoming increasingly unstable and extreme, and the overwhelming scientific consensus is that mankind¿s use of fossil fuels and derivates is a key component in this climate change. Friction, wear and lubrication are major players in the consumption of energy and, so, reducing friction and wear and using green lubrication is the most direct route to decrease the energy consumption and pollution and, so, contributing to a better environment for everybody. In this scope, novel self-lubricant materials have been developed during the last decades to replace the use of harmful liquid lubrication. However, when parts are exposed to high temperature conditions, premature failure of the components occur due to low oxidation resistance of the coatings and/or fast/total diffusion of the lubricious element to the surface. This book, thus, to develop a universal coating system able to provide lubrication for long-term and for a wide range of temperatures.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Iron overload is the accumulation of excess iron in body tissues and Hemochromatosis is a disease that occurs as a result of significant iron overload. Hereditary hemochromatosis is the genetic disease that results from significant iron overload. Acquired iron overload occurs when one obtains excessive amounts of iron from repeated exposure through supplementation, diet, iron shots, blood transfusion. Excess of iron gets deposited in vital organs and tissues such as liver, brain, heart, spleen and bones and leads to problems. The management of iron overload can be divided in to two types mainly.a. Phlebotomy b. Iron Chelationa. Phlebotomy: A phlebotomy is a procedure used to remove blood from a person.b. Iron Chelation: The available treatment for iron Chelation is either having many side effects or is very costly. Patients cannot tolerate the side effects of the daily injections. No ideal chelator exists to treat patients with transfusional iron overload.
