Marine Analytical Chemistry
This textbook offers a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the latest analytical methods, tools and techniques used in the marine environment, bringing together the two fields of chemical oceanography and analytical chemistry. Divided into 11 chapters, the book starts with an overview of the main parameters of the marine carbon system, and it covers different sampling strategies used by the marine scientific community, and the different chemical analyses to measure trace metals, radionuclides and organic matter in the marine environment. Particular attention is given to the identification and quantification of marine persistent organic pollutants, emerging organic contaminants an...
International Intercomparison Exercises on Natural Radiation Measurements under Field Conditions
The main objective of this event was to test different instruments and detectors for the measurements of radon gas and external gamma radiation (dose rate) in real conditions in a place where the levels of natural radiation are quite high (an old uranium mine). The activities carried out consisted not only in the practical exercises but also in different lectures given by intenational experts from different fields of natural radioactivity who are recognized worldwide. A total number of 45 recognised international participant institutions (universities, reference laboratories and commercial companies) took part and this report presents the main results obtained in all the exercises.
The Natural Radiation Environment
All papers have been peer-reviewed. The NRE-VIII Symposium covered a variety of topics from cosmic rays in the solar system to exposure of biota to natural radioactivity, passing through terrorism with natural radionuclides. The Symposium was an example of multidisciplinarity.

Omnia mutantur. Canvi, transformació i pervivència en la cultura clàssica, en les seves llengües i en el seu llegat (II)
Els dos volums dOmnia mutantur apleguen algunes de les contribucions que, focalitzades en la cultura, la literatura, la llengua i la civilització de la Grècia i la Roma antigues, així com en la seva pervivència, es presentaren en el decurs dunes jornades celebrades a la Universitat de Barcelona el juliol de 2013. El fil conductor dels articles que componen els llibres és el concepte de canvi i la capacitat dadaptació dels antics a noves circumstàncies i nous contextos socials, culturals, intel·lectuals i lingüístics, fet que permet reconèixer també la vigència de lAntiguitat grega i romana. Aquest segon volum ofereix nombroses actualitzacions de temes relacionats amb el món llatí, sovint revisionistes sobre teories existents, sovint innovadores. Omnia mutantur vol ser un instrument útil per als filòlegs i estudiosos del món antic, i alhora contribuir a la difusió i continuïtat de la tasca que es realitza en aquest camp del coneixement.

Biosafety of Forest Transgenic Trees
This book provides up-to-date information on the environmental impact of transgenic trees on genetically modified tree (GMT) communication strategy. It is useful to public/private organisations as well as to private and public research bodies and universities worldwide since it reports on the global status of GMT research and policy. A high number of genetically modified trees (GMTs) with altered or novel characteristics have been produced in the last 15 years. However, their very low public acceptance is a basic problem in their commercialization. Breeders anticipate economic and ecological benefits, like reduced product costs and less pressure on native forests, while opponents fear risks, such as unintended spread of GMTs. But what is true? To answer this question, the COST Action FP0905 focused on key aspects related to GMTs: (a) biological characterization; (b) assessment of possible environmental impacts; (c) socio-economic implications and public acceptance/concerns; (d) providing science-based information to communicate with the public.
Culture as Soft Power
This book contributes to bridge the gap between different scholarly communities interested in the entanglements of culture and politics in the international arena. It sheds light on existing connections in their parallel evolution with a thorough literature review, complemented by several case studies showing the fruitful character of their interdisciplinary mobilisation. Through the notions of cultural relations, intellectual cooperation and cultural diplomacy, the book draws on a soft power perspective to offer a shared, novel, and interdisciplinary theoretical framework to approach cultural institutions and organisations that have been previously examined as isolated objects: for example, cultural institutes, international organisations, literary magazines, and literary contests. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume justifies the relevance of its content for scholars working in the history of international relations, international cultural relations and intellectual history, comparative literature, sociology of literature and global literary studies.
