This volume contains fourteen national reports and the general report on the subject of "Criminal Liability of Corporations," written for the XIVth Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law which was held in 1994 in Athens, Greece. The issue of criminal liability of corporations is being discussed worldwide, as is apparent in the many changes which are taking place in both criminal law and administrative law in several countries. The national reports give an overview of the various trends in criminal policy when addressing the topic of liability of corporations and the general report sets out a common thread in this field.
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), the process by which gaseous N2 is converted into ammonia (NH3) via the enzyme nitrogenase, is crucial for the availability of nitrogen (N) in the terrestrial ecosystem. Some bacteria have the remarkable capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia under ambient conditions, a reaction only mimicked on an industrial scale by a chemical process. This microbiological process converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form, thus decreasing the need to use chemical fertilizers in crop production. Chapters in this volume cover different aspects of this fantastic phenomenon, including biofertilizer, organic nitrogen in agricultural systems, nitrogen fertilization for sustainable crop production, and others. This book is designed for researchers, students and general readers.
