Inland Waterway Transport
Inland waterways are a host for a mode of transport that is not as visible to the general public or as used as it once was.

This book gives the reader a thorough understanding of the current role of inland waterway transport as a freight transport system and its conditions.

Handbook on Public Private Partnerships in Transportation, Vol I
This book discusses the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in global transportation infrastructure. Seen as a way to provide vital services in an era of shrinking government budgets, public-private partnerships have become an increasingly important part of travel infrastructure worldwide. This book describes and analyzes the structure of various models of PPPs in various countries, evaluating their effectiveness, and drawing policy implications for future use. Written by leading international researchers and practitioners in the transportation field, each chapter is a case study on the adoption, implementation, and outcome of transportation services in different municipalities. Taken together, these diverse case studies provide an integrated framework for evaluating and using PPPs. Providing rigorous empirical analysis of PPPs in transportation, this volume will be of interest to researchers in public administration, political science, and economics as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in establishing and monitoring PPPs in transportation.
Spektrum Kompakt - Biofilme
Sie kennen ihn bestimmt, diesen schmierigen, für viele Ekel erregenden Belag, der sich manchmal auf Oberflächen bildet. Besonders gefürchtet ist er im medizinischen Bereich, denn die Bewohner dieser Schleimschicht sind nicht selten ein Risiko für Patienten. Doch Biofilme gehören auch zu den frühesten Lebensgesellschaften unseres Planeten! Wie sich Bakterien und Co in ihrem eigentümlichen Lebensraum organisieren, was uns Mikrobenmatten über die Geschichte des Lebens verraten und wie gefährliche Biofilme notfalls bekämpft werden können, sind Themen dieses Kompakts.

The second part of the book examines operational aspects of maritime, port and land networks. A range of topics are explored, such as liner networks, finance and business models, port-industrial clusters, container terminals, intermodality/synchromodality, handling and warehousing. The final section of the book provides insights into key issues of port development and management, from security, sustainability, innovation strategies, transition management and labour issues. Drawing on a variety of global case studies, theoretical insights are supplemented with real world and best practice examples, this book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, scholars and professionals interested in maritime studies, transport studies, economics and geography.
