The crystallization process may be used in chemistry, physics, or materials science to prepare materials for special applications such as batteries, fuel cells, and optics. In chemistry and physics, researchers prepare polycrystalline powders or thin films. In biology and pharmacology, proteins and drugs are obtained as polycrystalline powder and their structures are determined by X-ray powder diffraction or neutron diffraction. The synthesis of polycrystalline powder or thin films depends on several factors such as temperature, pressure, and operating parameters. This book discusses the phenomenon of crystallization in several fields and applications.
Incluye historias sobre la brujería en el Palacio de Nariño durante la presidencia de Ernesto Samper, las maldiciones que rodean al castillo Marroquín y los oscuros rituales que se celebran en la tumba de Pablo Escobar, entre otras. Colombia es una nación en la que la magia parece fundirse con la realidad; un país en donde el realismo mágico surge en cada rincón, y en el que la brujería y los encantamientos se mantienen vigentes a través del tiempo y el espacio. En este nuevo libro, Esteban Cruz Niño reúne diez casos relacionados con estos temas en Colombia, en donde mezcla una rigurosa investigación periodística -de fuentes actuales e históricas- con entrevistas a personajes famosos y de la cultura popular del país para demostrar cómo la brujería, desde siempre, ha permeado todas las esferas de la sociedad.

This volume provides a serious examination of substance use prevention research and practice as components of the continuum from health promotion through to prevention and health care in sub-groups and in the general population. Extensive background chapters provide portals into the evolution of the field and the cutting edge research being conducted on the etiology, epidemiology, and genetics of substance use and abuse. The global nature and health burden of substance use and abuse incorporates assessments of the serious problems related to the prevention of legal substance use (i.e., alcohol and tobacco) and how lessons learned in those arenas may apply to the prevention of illicit substan...
