It introduces the reader to the electronic and optical properties of graphite, intercalated graphite and graphene, including Dirac fermions, Berry's phase associated with sublattices and valley degeneracy, covers single particle properties of graphene quantum dots, electron-electron interaction, magnetic properties and optical properties of ...
The aim of this publication is to learn about the process of engendering the scientific debate in different spaces. Volume A deals with gender studies and networking and we are still working on volume B, which will focus on gender research and networking. Both issues were discussed during our summer schools in 2006 and 2007 at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany and Ahfad University for Women in Omdurman, Sudan. The authors open the doors to their societies and give us insights into different communities and inform us about the processes and debates within the institutions of higher education. You can’t clap with one hand! – Clapping is a sign of happiness and indeed we are happy about this joint project and the many hands that helped us to produce this publication.
The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. The Encyclopedia of the U...
