The United States is the global leader in higher education, but this was not always the case and may not remain so. William Kirby examines sources of—and threats to—US higher education supremacy and charts the rise of Chinese competitors. Yet Chinese institutions also face problems, including a state that challenges the commitment to free inquiry.
These papers present advancements in all aspects of high temperature electrochemistry, from the fundamental to the empirical and from the theoretical to the applied. Topics involving the application of electrochemistry to the nuclear fuel cycle, chemical sensors, energy storage, materials synthesis, refractory metals and their alloys, and alkali and alkaline earth metals are included. Also included are papers that discuss various technical, economic, and environmental issues associated with plant operations and industrial practices.
This volume deals with new topics in the areas of fixed point theory, variational inequality and complementarity problem theory, non-linear ergodic theory, difference, differential and integral equations, control and optimisation theory, dynamic system theory, inequality theory, stochastic analysis and probability theory, and their applications.
Chiral Dynamics 2006 is the 5th International Workshop which examines the implications and the development of an approximate low-energy solution to the QCD Lagrangian based upon Chiral Symmetry. Advances in theory and experiment are presented in 20 plenary session papers along with more than one-hundred papers, including summaries, from the three working groups. Sample Chapter(s). Part 1.1: Opening Remarks: Experimental Tests of Chiral Symmetry Breaking (311 KB). Contents: Some Recent Developments in Chiral Perturbation Theory (U-G Meiner); Recent Results from HAPPEX (R Michaels); Kaon Physics: Recent Experimental Progress (M Moulson); Recent KTeV Results on Radiative Kaon Decays (M C Ronque...
Tropical and sub-tropical fruits have gained significant importance in global commerce. This book examines recent developments in the area of fruit technology including: postharvest physiology and storage; novel processing technologies applied to fruits; and in-depth coverage on processing, packaging, and nutritional quality of tropical and sub-tropical fruits. This contemporary handbook uniquely presents current knowledge and practices in the value chain of tropical and subtropical fruits world-wide, covering production and post-harvest practices, innovative processing technologies, packaging, and quality management. Chapters are devoted to each major and minor tropical fruit (mango, pineap...
