The Genteel John O'Hara
The writer John O'Hara (1905-1970) came from Pottsville in Pennsylvania. He put his home town and the surrounding vicinity under a microscope to produce an account of 'The Anthracite Region' that rivals Edith Wharton's descriptions of New York and Sinclair Lewis's anatomy of Sauk Centre. With the discerning eye of a local resident, O'Hara recreated this coal-rich region and its people so well that his novelettes, novellas, novels, plays and short stories give a true record of his 'Pennsylvania Protectorate' in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. In order to reveal the ethnographical, geographical and historical authenticity of the O'Hara Can...
Improving the Safety of Fresh Meat
The safety of fresh meat continues to be a major concern for consumers. As a result, there has been a wealth of research on identifying and controlling hazards at all stages in the supply chain. Improving the Safety of Fresh Meat reviews this research and its implications for the meat industry. Part I discusses identifying and managing hazards on the farm. There are chapters on the prevalence and detection of pathogens and on chemical and other contaminants. A number of chapters also discuss ways of controlling such hazards in the farm environment. Part II of the book reviews the identification and control of hazards during and after slaughter. There are chapters on both contamination risks and how they can best be managed. The book also discusses the range of decontamination techniques available to meat processors as well as such areas as packaging and storage. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Improving the Safety of Fresh Meat will be a standard reference for the meat industry.
Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, ACIVS 2015, held Catania, Italy, in October 2015. The 76 revised full papers were carefully selected from 129 submissions. Acivs 2015 is a conference focusing on techniques for building adaptive, intelligent, safe and secure imaging systems. The focus of the conference is on following topic: low-level Image processing, video processing and camera networks, motion and tracking, security, forensics and biometrics, depth and 3D, image quality improvement and assessment, classification and recognition, multidimensional signal processing, multimedia compression, retrieval, and navigation.
The Porphyrins V7
The Porphyrins, Volume VII: Biochemistry, Part B is devoted to the biochemistry of porphyrins, their precursors, and related compounds. The book covers the structure and function of the major heme proteins and their reconstitution and metal substitution, along with proteins derived from green photosynthetic bacteria. This volume is organized into 11 chapters and begins with an introduction to the cytochrome oxidase, paying particular attention to its isolation and characterization as well as biosynthesis. The discussion then turns to the electron transfer functions of cytochromes b and c; the structure of cytochrome c; and the proposed structures for peroxidases, catalases, and chloroperoxid...
Biometric Recognition
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Chinese Conference on Biometric Recognition, CCBR 2013, held in Jinan, China, in November 2013. The 57 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from among 100 submissions. The papers address the problems in face, fingerprint, palm print, vein biometrics, iris and ocular biometrics, behavioral biometrics and other related topics, and contribute new ideas to research and development of reliable and practical solutions for biometric authentication.
General and Synthetic Methods
Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The A...
