This book provides an overview of air quality in Albania evaluated by moss biomonitoring and metals atmospheric deposition. It is based on the concentration data onto 51 elements in moss samples collected during 2010/2011 moss biomonitoring survey conducted at the same time with European moss biomonitoring survey. The elements under investigation were determined by using ICP-AES and ENAA analytical techniques. Moss species Hypnum cupressiforme (Hedw) sps., a carpet-forming bryophyte, was used as bioindicator of trace metal atmospheric deposition. The goal of this study was to identify factors leading to the high levels of trace metals in at-mospheric deposition in Albania, to identify the ri...
Thoroughly revised and expanded, this third edition offers illustrative tables and figures to clarify technical points in the articles and provides a valuable, reader-friendly reference for all those who employ chromatographic methods for analysis of complex mixtures of substances. An authoritative source of information, this introductory guide to specific chromatographic techniques and theory discusses the relevant science and technology, offering key references for analyzing specific chemicals and applications in industry and focusing on emerging technologies and uses.
These conference proceedings cover recent advances in the field of developmental biology in plants. The developmental processes explored here are mainly focused on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control and the circadian clock. The book will appeal to biologists, academicians, scientists, researchers and students, as well as readers exploring the role of light in controlling various indispensable physiological processes in plants, such as flowering, circadian clock regulations and hormonal regulations. The volume also emphasises several interrelated developmental processes, such as disease development, and molecular events, including the degradation of proteins.
This proceedings book is a collection of high-quality peer-reviewed research papers presented at the International Conference of Experimental and Numerical Investigations and New Technologies (CNNTech2020) held at Zlatibor, Serbia, from 29th June to 2nd July 2020. The book discusses a wide variety of industrial, engineering and scientific applications of the engineering techniques. Researchers from academia and industry present their original work and exchange ideas, experiences, information, techniques, applications and innovations in the field of mechanical engineering, materials science, chemical and process engineering, experimental techniques, numerical methods and new technologies.
Mercury is a toxic global contaminant that is transported through the atmosphere, is deposited in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and concentrates up the food chain, reaching levels that can harm both humans and wildlife. This book reports the latest findings describing the distribution, deposition, and measurement of this airborne pollutant as well as the human and environmental impacts of artisanal mining of mercury and gold. The research originates from around the world and highlights the importance of atmospheric mercury research and the Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions of mercury.
An in-depth survey of the region presenting the latest economic and political developments. It includes expert comment on issues of regional importance, up-to-date statistics, a directory of institutes and companies and political profiles.
The book gives researchers, scientists, academicians, technocrats, and CEOs of technology-based and energy-related businesses a global platform to discuss and exchange research experiences and publish interactive conversations on a range of topics related to energy materials, biomaterials, solar energy, hydrogen energy, super-capacitors, batteries, fuel cells, and other related topics. Having cutting-edge concepts discussed on Emerging Materials by well-known worldwide experts with experience managing materials for a range of technical applications is beneficial.
Ensuring a coordinated public health, laboratory, and medical response to a natural disaster, an accidental release or a deliberate use of a chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) agent is a high priority for all countries. This publication contains the proceedings of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Advanced Study Institute (ASI). The ASI, and this publication, provides NATO and its allies with ways to enhance their national preparedness and response plans to CBR threats. The recommendations should be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and other scientists motivated by special interest in public health preparedness, as well as by national and NATO leaders and policy makers who are positioned to make a difference. Public health response to emergencies requires extensive, coordinated, considered efforts of the combined military and civilian public health resources of all NATO nations and NATO Partner nations.
A survey of the region. Presents economic and political developments. Includes analysis, statistics, directory material and biographical details of leading political figures.
