Islam & Ethnicity in Northern Kenya & Southern Ethiopia
A study of the longue durée of a marginalized part of northern Kenya, examining the process of territorialization and the role of Islam in politicizing ethnicity. The recent ethnic violence in Kenya has been preceded by a process of territorialization and politicization of ethnicity. This study examines a marginalized part of Kenya, the semi-arid north inhabited by pastoralists of three language groups - speakers of Oromo, Somali, and Rendille. It spans different periods of time, from early processes of ethnic differentiation between groups, through the colonial period when differences were reflected in administrative policies, to recent times, when global minority discourses, particularly ...
Dynamics of Identification and Conflict
Dealing with the dynamics of identification and conflict, this book uses theoretical orientations ranging from political ecology to rational choice theory, interpretive approaches, Marxism and multiscalar analysis. Case studies set in Africa, Europe and Central Asia are grouped in three sections devoted to pastoralism, identity and migration. What connects all of these anthropological explorations is a close focus on processes of identification and conflict at the level of particular actors in relation to the behaviour of large aggregates of people and to systemic conditions.
Organic Corrosion Inhibitors
Provides comprehensive coverage of organic corrosion inhibitors used in modern industrial platforms, including current developments in the design of promising classes of organic corrosion inhibitors Corrosion is the cause of significant economic and safety-related problems that span across industries and applications, including production and processing operations, transportation and public utilities infrastructure, and oil and gas exploration. The use of organic corrosion inhibitors is a simple and cost-effective method for protecting processes, machinery, and materials while remaining environmentally acceptable. Organic Corrosion Inhibitors: Synthesis, Characterization, Mechanism, and Appl...
Handbook of Heterocyclic Corrosion Inhibitors
Handbook of Heterocyclic Corrosion Inhibitors presents a comprehensive overview of corrosion inhibition using heterocyclic compounds. It covers numerous, emerging heterocyclic compound-based industrial corrosion inhibitors that are oriented toward minimizing corrosive damages and prevention methods. Describing the fundamentals of heterocycles, corrosion, and corrosion inhibition, the book considers the potential of different series of N-heterocycles, such as acridine and acridone-based, carbazole-based, imidazole and imidazoline-based, indole and indoline-based, melamine-based, etc. It presents the corrosion inhibition potential of oxygen- and sulfur-based heterocycles compounds. The book also explores issues with corrosion as a result of improper design with descaling, acidification, refinery, and transport processes. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students studying corrosion science, heterocyclic chemistry, material science and engineering, energy, chemistry, and colloid science. It will also be a valuable reference for corrosion scientists and R&D engineers working in industrial corrosion and industrial-based corrosion protection systems.
Advances in Medicinal Chemistry
Volume 4 of Advances in Medicinal Chemistry is comprised of six chapters on a wide range of topics in medicinal chemistry, including molecular modeling, structure-based drug design, organic synthesis, peptide conformational analysis, biological assessment, structure-activity correlation, and lead optimization. Chapter 1 presents an account about amino acid-based peptide mimetics corresponding to b-turn, loop, helical motifs in proteins as a probe of ligand-receptor and ligand-enzyme molecular interactions. Chapter 2 addresses new facets of the medicinal chemistry of the important anticancer drug Taxol® (paclitaxel). Chapter 3 relates an account of the search for new drugs for the treatment ...
