Founded in 1990, Palmbout Urban Landscapes is now one of the leading urban planning offices in the Netherlands. It exemplifies current practices of urban planning in that country. Its approach is characterized by a constant search for a new relationship between urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. In this process of experimentation, Palmbout Urban Landscapes has established a profile not only in the field of the relationship between urban planning and architecture but above all in terms of mutual interactions between urban planning, the analysis and design of landscape, and infrastructure. The book documents some fifteen projects organized into six thematic blocks, including such extensive projects as Amsterdam Ijburg, a design for an urban extension to Amsterdam with a total area of 450 hectares, 18,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, 30,000 square meters of stores, and other facilities, and Maastricht Belvedere, a restructuring of 280 hectares of a former industrial site with 4,000 residences, 100,000 square meters of office space, parking lots, and a vehicle bridge.
Coastal zones are among the world's most densely populated and economically important areas, but these factors put pressure on the often limited available freshwater resources. Global change will undoubtedly increase this pressure through the combined effects of increased population, economic development, rising sea levels, increased evapotranspiration, over-extraction and the salinization of coastal aquifers, decreasing river discharges, and accelerating land subsidence. Saline groundwater exfiltration is a common problem in the coastal zone of the Netherlands, but the hydrological processes and physiographic factors that affect this are not fully understood. The research presented in this ...
This publication is composed of papers presented at an International Symposium on Athalassic (Inland) Salt Lakes, which was hosted by the University of Adelaide, South Australia, during a week in October 1979. The genesis of the Symposium was at the Copenhagen Congress of the International Association of Limnology (S.1. L.) where it was noted that a number of papers concerned with inland saline lakes were distributed throughout sessions in such a way as to make it difficult to attend all of them. A number of participants at the Congress felt that the ecology of salt lakes had greater homogeneity or cohesiveness than this sort of distribution would suggest, and it was decided that a symposium...

The book has been logically divided into 8 chapters, successively dealing with the technological components in each chapter. Most of the issues that have been discussed for waterlogged inland saline soils have been briefly discussed in the last 8th Chapter, for the coastal regions. Finally the socio-economic aspects which are important to decide the economic viability of rehabilitation projects have been included in the last chapter. Computer programmes have been included, which is the modern approach in dealing with issues of design and development.
The different chapters in the book cover a wide range of reproductive medicine and science. They represent the cutting-edges of each discipline and are written by acknowledged experts in the field. The editors have endeavored to select contributors who are at the forefront of their disciplines, thereby ensuring the freshness of each chapter. This book is divided into seven sections: Infertility management, ART, embryology, endoscopy, male factor, USG in infertility and advances in infertility management. The book was written with the aim of providing current and practical approaches for patient management.
