Radioactivity
This book provides an accessible introduction to radioactivity. The second in a two-volume set, this volume is presented in two parts, covering its development and modern applications. It first explores the development and applications of technically enhanced natural radioactivity (TENR) and addresses nuclear energy sources, the fission and fusion processes, and the issues of radioactive fallout from nuclear weapon use and test programs. Later chapters explore the cutting-edge medical applications of radioactive materials in diagnostics and therapy, exploring nuclear medicine technologies such as x-ray tomography, brachytherapy, and positron emission tomography (PET). They also detail the br...
Nuclear Batteries and Radioisotopes
This book explains the physics of nuclear battery operation. It provides a comprehensive background that allows readers to understand all past and future developments in the field. The supply and cost of radioisotopes for use in applications (focused on nuclear batteries) are covered in the initial sections of the text. The interaction of ionizing radiation with matter is discussed as applied to nuclear batteries. The physics of interfacing the radioisotopes to the transducers which represent the energy conversion mechanism for nuclear batteries are described for possible nuclear battery configurations. Last but not least the efficiencies of nuclear battery configurations are discussed combined with a review of the literature on nuclear battery research.

Radioaktivität - Band II
Radioaktivität wird seit Jahrzehnten heiß debattiert; Nutzen und Gefahren der Kernenergie stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Das Thema greift jedoch weiter - sowohl in Bezug auf natürliche Vorkommen als auch vielfache Anwendungen von Radioaktivität. Nach summarischer Darstellung der Radioaktivität als natürlicher Erscheinung in Band I wendet sich der Autor in Band II der wachsende Anwendung und Bedeutung von Radioaktivität in der modernen industrialisierten Welt zu. Er beschreibt das Anwachsen der Belastung durch radioaktive Strahlung im menschlichen Umfeld wie auch durch die verschiedenen industriellen Anwendungsgebiete. Dazu zählen nicht nur Themen wie Kernwaffen und Kernenergie, sondern auch Nutzung radioaktiver Stoffe in Ackerbau, Industrie, Medizin und sogar Kunstgeschichte. Zahlreiche Beispiele verdeutlichen das. In diesem Rahmen werden auch die Möglichkeiten zur Endlagerung oder Entsorgung langlebiger radioaktiver Substanzen und die damit verbundenen technischen Probleme diskutiert.

Beneficial Microorganisms in Agriculture, Food and the Environment
Microorganisms are widely used in various beneficial applications, including food, pest control, bioremediation, biodegradation, biofuel processes, and plant symbiosis and growth stimulation. This book provides an overview of the available methodology for safety assessments of microorganisms, including determination of their infectivity and whether they produce toxic or sensitizing substances. Also covered are the regulatory systems in risk assessment and management of microbial products, quarantine legislations, international treaties, the importance of public risk perception and risk reducti
Principles and Practices in Plant Ecology
Principles and Practices in Plant Ecology: Allelochemical Interactions provides insights and details recent progress about allelochemical research from the ecosystem standpoint. Research on chemical ecology of allelochemicals in the last three decades has established this field as a mature science that interrelates the research of biologists, weed and crop scientists, agronomists, natural product chemists, microbiologists, ecologists, soil scientists, and plant physiologists and pathologists. This book demonstrates how the influence of allelochemicals on the various components of an ecosystem-including soil microbial ecology, soil nutrients, and physical, chemical, and biological soil factors-may affect growth, distribution, and survival of plant species. Internationally renowned exper†s discuss how a better understanding of allelochemical phenomena can lead to true sustainable agriculture.
Management of Fungal Plant Pathogens
This book provides an overview of our current knowledge of some plantpathogen interactions in economically important crops, emphasizing the importance of pathogenic fungi on fruits, cereals, postharvest crops and the establishment of plant diseases and drawing together fundamental new information on their management strategies based on conventional and ecofriendly methods, with an emphasis on the use of microorganisms and various biotechnological aspects of agriculture, which could lead to sustainability in modern agriculture. The book examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, as bioprotectors and bioremediators, and presents practical strategies for using microbes in sustainable agriculture. In addition, the use of botanicals visavis chemical pesticides is also reviewed. Contributions on new research fields such as mycorrhizas and endophytes are included. The book also examines in different chapters hostpathogen interactions in the light of the new tools and techniques of molecular biology and genetics.
