Frente a la antología hecha por conveniencias extralite Diana Diaconurarias que puebla el mundo académico de hoy, donde el tema de investigación no pasa de ser un pretexto, Prender el fuego. Nuevas poéticas del cuento latinoamericano le devuelve el protagonismo al fenómeno indagado, apostándole a la auténtica investigación colectiva, especie en vía de extinción en el ámbito académico de nuestros días. A través de un enfoque coherente, producto del diálogo sostenido entre jóvenes investigadores, se analiza un fenómeno actual, todavía no sistematizado: la reformulación del cuento como género en la contemporaneidad latinoamericana. Al poner en tensión y en diálogo las nuev...
Climate Change and Cities bridges science-to-action for climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts in cities around the world.
A guide to the effective catalysts and latest advances in CO2 conversion in chemicals and fuels Carbon dioxide hydrogenation is one of the most promising and economic techniques to utilize CO2 emissions to produce value-added chemicals. With contributions from an international team of experts on the topic, CO2 Hydrogenation Catalysis offers a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid/formate, methanol, methane, and C2+ products. The book explores the electroreduction of carbon dioxide and contains an overview on hydrogen production from formic acid and methanol. With a practical review of the advances and challenges i...
Surface organometallic chemistry is a new field bringing together researchers from organometallic, inorganic, and surface chemistry and catalysis. Topics ranging from reaction mechanisms to catalyst preparation are considered from a molecular basis, according to which the "active site" on a catalyst surface has a supra-molecular character. This. the first book on the subject, is the outcome of a NATO Workshop held in Le Rouret. France, in May. 1986. It is our hope that the following chapters and the concluding summary of recommendations for research may help to provide a definition of surface organometallic chemistry. Besides catalysis. the central theme of the Workshop, four main topics are...

The proliferation of entrepreneurship, technological and business innovations, emerging social trends and lifestyles, employment patterns, and other developments in the global context involve creative destruction that transcends geographic and political boundaries and economic sectors and industries. This creates a need for an interdisciplinary exploration of disruptive technologies, their impacts, and their implications for various stakeholders widely ranging from government agencies to major corporations to consumer groups and individuals. Disruptive Technology: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a vital reference source that examines innovation, imitation, and creative destruction as critical factors and agents of socio-economic growth and progress in the context of emerging challenges and opportunities for business development and strategic advantage. Highlighting a range of topics such as IT innovation, business strategy, and sustainability, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for entrepreneurs, business executives, business professionals, academicians, and researchers interested in strategic decision making using innovations and competitiveness.
Why We Read Fiction offers a lucid overview of the most exciting area of research in contemporary cognitive psychology known as "Theory of Mind" and discusses its implications for literary studies. It covers a broad range of fictional narratives, from Richardson s Clarissa, Dostoyevski's Crime and Punishment, and Austen s Pride and Prejudice to Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Nabokov's Lolita, and Hammett s The Maltese Falcon. Zunshine's surprising new interpretations of well-known literary texts and popular cultural representations constantly prod her readers to rethink their own interest in fictional narrative. Written for a general audience, this study provides a jargon-free introduction to the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field known as cognitive approaches to literature and culture.
Hydroquinone has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent which is soluble in water. It is a major component in most photographic developers for film and paper, and is used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the colour of skin. In this book, the authors present current research in the production, uses and health effects of hydroquinone. Topics discussed include the cellular effects of hydroquinone; the involvement of cigarette smoke-related hydroquinone in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration; hydroquinone solubility and separation processes; the transport and transfer processes of poly(o-aminophenol)film electrodes in the presence of the hydroquinone/p-benzoquinone redox couple and the detection of thiols using hydroquinone on gold surfaces.
