This proceedings volume contains selected and peer-reviewed original oral and poster contributions to be presented at the 5th International Symposium on Nanoporous Materials, Vancouver, Canada, May 25OCo28, 2008. It presents recent scientific advances in the area of nanoporous materials, especially those with ordered pores of sizes between 1 and 50 nm, their synthesis, characterization and applications in adsorption, catalysis, bio-related processes, environmental cleanup and nanotechnology. A unique feature of this volume is the wide variety of nanoporous materials covered, ranging from ordered silica nanostructures, silicas with incorporated organic and inorganic species, ordered nanoporou...

A unique feature of this volume is the wide variety of nanoporous materials covered, ranging from ordered silica nanostructures, silicas with incorporated organic and inorganic species, ordered nanoporous carbons and polymers, metal organic frameworks, nanostructured catalysts to nanoporous films, membranes and monoliths. This proceedings volume reflects the current trends and advances in the field of nanomaterials, which will certainly continue to attract the attention of materials scientists around the globe. It will therefore be a valuable reference for materials scientists, chemists and physicists working in academia, national and industrial laboratories.
Esta obra recoge una miscelánea de artículos de autores españoles y brasileños sobre desarrollo regional que demuestran que, en este aspecto, las experiencias de ambos países son cada vez más semejantes. Aunque el sistema socioeconómico imperante se basa en postulados neoliberales, con una disminución del papel de los estados en las tendencias del desarrollo, todavía perviven políticas regionales subsidiadas con fondos públicos que se resisten a desaparecer. Esta aseveración es válida tanto para España como para Brasil y puede aplicarse, en general, a toda Europa y América Latina. Medamérica, desde su fundación hace ya veinte años, ha tenido como objetivo tender puentes académicos entre Barcelona y América Latina mediante la publicación de libros, la organización de seminarios internacionales, la creación de convenios entre la Universidad de Barcelona y diversas instituciones de Brasil y México, y la realización de más de treinta tesis de doctorado.
A contaminação dos recursos hídricos por espécies com alto poder de toxicidade tem sido motivo de amplas discussões no meio científico. Nesse contexto, muitos métodos têm sido propostos para descontaminação de águas poluídas, porém há muitas limitações associadas principalmente ao custo e à eficiência dos tratamentos. A obra Remoção de poluentes em meio aquoso utilizando materiais alternativos foi organizada a partir de uma criteriosa seleção de estudos científicos nos quais foram aplicados materiais alternativos de baixo custo com potencial para remoção de diferentes poluentes presentes em meio aquoso. A qualidade e abrangência do conteúdo aqui exposto torna esta obra uma excelente ferramenta de consulta.
Aquatic Chemistry An Introduction Emphasizing Chemical Equilibria in Natural Waters Second Edition Edited by Werner Stumm and James J. Morgan This second edition of the renowned classic unites concepts, applications, and techniques with the growing amounts of data in the field. Expanded treatment is offered on steady-state and dynamic models employing mass-balance approaches and kinetic information. New chapters address such topics as: environmental aspects of aquatic chemistry; new material on organic compounds in natural water systems; the use of stable and radioactive isotopes in chemical and physical processes; the latest advances in marine chemistry; solid-solution interface; kinetic co...
Cleaner Production is an emerging field of research that comprises concepts and methodologies from different disciplines in a problem-oriented manner. Research efforts are often concentrated in a variety of sectoral domains; and, for understanding the global change which embraces a variety of processes on several scales, a variety of environmental and sustainability aspects can be addressed. This book brings contributions from researchers that participated in editions of the International Workshop Advances in Cleaner Production (www.advancesincleanerproduction.net) held in São Paulo, Brazil. The book includes contributions from researchers from various countries for the development of Clean...
Activated Sludge and Aerobic Biofilm Reactors is the fifth volume in the series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The first part of the book is devoted to the activated sludge process, covering the removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus.A detailed analysis of the biological reactor (aeration tank) and the final sedimentation tanks is provided. The second part of the book covers aerobic biofilm reactors, especially trickling filters, rotating biological contractors and submerged aerated biofilters. For all the systems, the book presents in a clear and informative way the main concepts, working principles, expected removal efficiencies, design criteria, design examples, construction...

Este ebook presenta "El Manifiesto Comunista" con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El Manifiesto del Partido Comunista (Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei, por su título en alemán), muchas veces llamado simplemente el Manifiesto Comunista, es uno de los tratados políticos más influyentes de la historia, fue una proclama encargada por la Liga de los Comunistas a Karl Marx y Friedrich Engels entre 1847 y 1848, y publicada por primera vez en Londres el 21 de febrero de 1848. Las ideas que el Manifiesto expresa son las siguientes: - La historia política e intelectual de una sociedad está determinada por el modo de producción y la formación socio-económica que se deriva de él; - Una vez aparecidas las clases sociales sobre la base de la propiedad privada y la explotación, la historia de las sociedades ha sido la historia de la lucha de las clases explotadoras y las explotadas; - En la actual sociedad moderna el proletariado es la única clase social cuya emancipación significará la emancipación de toda la humanidad mediante la revolución comunista: la abolición de la propiedad burguesa, las clases sociales y el Estado.
For instance, he shows that the four main ethnic subcategories of the ancient Greeks - Akhaians, Ionians, Aiolians, and Dorians - were not primordial survivals from a premigratory period, but emerged in precise historical circumstances during the eighth and seventh centuries B.C.
