Analysis and Characterisation of Metal-Based Nanomaterials, Volume 93 in the Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry series, introduces recent developments in analytical methodologies for detection, characterization and quantification of metal-based nanomaterials and their applications to a variety of complex environmental, biological and food samples as well as different consumer products. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is highlighted as a powerful analytical tool for number-based concentration and size distribution, also from the metrological viewpoint. An emerging approach for the measurement of multi-metal nanoparticles by single-particle inductively coupled plas...
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.
Pervasive myths of European domination and indigenous submission in the Americas receive an overdue corrective in this far-reaching revisionary work. Despite initial upheavals caused by the European intrusion, Native people often thrived after contact, preserving their sovereignty, territory, and culture and shaping indigenous borderlands across the hemisphere. Borderlands, in this context, are spaces where diverse populations interact, cross-cultural exchanges are frequent and consequential, and no polity or community holds dominion. Within the indigenous borderlands of the Americas, as this volume shows, Native peoples exercised considerable power, often retaining control of the land, and ...
Neuroscience of Nicotine: Mechanisms and Treatment presents the fundamental information necessary for a thorough understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of nicotine addiction and its effects on the brain. Offering thorough coverage of all aspects of nicotine research, treatment, policy and prevention, and containing contributions from internationally recognized experts, the book provides students, early-career researchers, and investigators at all levels with a fundamental introduction to all aspects of nicotine misuse. With an estimated one billion individuals worldwide classified as tobacco users—and tobacco use often being synonymous with nicotine addiction—nicotine is one ...
Celem dociekań Autora jest przede wszystkim ustalenie, czy brazylijskie ruchy społeczno-religijne miały millenarystyczno-mesjanistyczny charakter, ale zakres zebranych i wykorzystanych przez niego materiałów znacząco wykracza poza nakreślony temat (…), co dowodzi jego ogromnej erudycji oraz gruntownej znajomości całego iberoamerykańskiego obszaru kulturowego (…). Z książki tej czytelnik dowie się zatem dużo więcej, niż obiecuje jej tytuł. I będzie to dodatkowo lektura nie tylko pouczająca, ale także bardzo przyjemna. dr Renata Siuda-Ambroziak W obszarze zainteresowania autora jest w szczególności (choć nie tylko) obszar północno-wschodniej Brazylii – rozległy ...
