This book is devoted to a wide range of problems concerning applications of nanomaterials and nanodevices as effective solutions to modern ecological problems. Leading experts in nanoscience and nanotechnology present the key theoretical, experimental and implementation issues related to the creation and utilization of novel nanoscale devices to help ensure ecological security. The authors discuss appropriate nanotechnologies for minimizing various types of risk: to human life, technogenic risk, or indeed terrorist threats. Particular emphasis is placed on defining and studying the required materials properties, and – in the field – on nanoscale devices for sensors and monitoring.
This book presents a systemic view of nanophenomena in terms of disordered condensed media with characteristics arising at various hierarchical levels from nanoagents/nanoparticles through multiple technological interfaces to the creation of micro- or mesostructures with essential nanodimensional effects. These properties can be seen in various schemes for the functionalization of nanocarbon systems, namely, CNTs, GNRs, GNFs, carbon-based nanoaerogels, nanofoams, and so on, where nonregularities characterize surface nanointeractions and various nanointerconnects, resulting in both predictable and unpredictable effects. Beginning with nanosensing and finishing with other forms of functionaliz...
Long-lived radioactive materials from the operation of nuclear power plants and from the maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear weapons pose environmental and security risks. Technologies that would counter such risks are under intense study worldwide. One such technology, transmutation by nuclear means into shorter-lived materials, was the subject of an international workshop in Russia, where the need for a viable solution of this problem is particularly strong.Current problems of that technology and future perspectives and cooperative research possibilities involving Russian and East European facilities are discussed by scientists from Russia, the United States and seven other countrie...
Soccer World è l'unico annuario statistico sul calcio internazionale prodotto interamente in Italia. Forte di una quantità innumerevole di statistiche il volume permette di conoscere informazioni spesso non comuni ad altre pubblicazioni del settore come per esempio i dati societari di tutti i club presenti, gli organici minuziosamente aggiornati di oltre 500 squadre e l'analisi tattica di ognuna di esse con le disposizioni in campo dei giocatori. Inoltre l'elenco dei più importanti movimenti del calciomercato estivo uniti ad un resoconto dettagliato della stagione precedente con il palmarès di ogni squadra rendono ogni edizione una piccola pietra miliare nel suo genere. Utile sia per l'esperto del settore che per il semplice appassionato. Imperdibile!
Set in Phnom Penh in 1962, amongst the diplomatic community (British, American and Russian) with its tensions, friendships, intrigues and affairs and against the background of the Cold War and Cuban missile, The Crocodile Princess takes historical figures, including Peter Cook, to construct an alternative history in a slightly parallel universe - a gripping read.
