Port And Maritime Security

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 heightened awareness about the vulnerability to terrorist attack of all modes of transportation. Port security has emerged as a significant part of the overall debate on US homeland security. The overarching issues for Congress are providing oversight on current port security programs and making or responding to proposals to improve port security. The US maritime system consists of more than 300 sea ...

Rare Earths: Research and Applications

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

Rare earth elements and rare earth metals are a collection of sixteen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium, and fourteen of the fifteen lanthanoids (excluding promethium), which naturally occur on the Earth. The former two are included as they tend to occur with the latter in the same ore deposits. The principal economic sources of rare earth elements are the rare-earth minerals bastnasite, monazite, and loparite and ...

Global Management: Strategy, Challenges, and Uncertainties

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

Management comprises directing and controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of co-ordinating and harmonising that group towards accomplishing a goal. Management often encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. This book deals with management problems within a global context and presents the latest research in this growing field.

Possible Selves: Theory, Research, And Applications

Nova Science Publishers, 2006

The concept of possible selves, first brought to life only a short time ago by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurious (1986) has grown into an exciting stream of research. Scholars have examined possible selves with regard to a host of adolescent outcomes, including academic achievement, school persistence, career expectations, self-esteem, delinquency, identity development and altruistic behaviours. Adults' possible selves have been associated with ...

DNA Transposable Elements Research (Nova Biomedical)

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

Transposons are segments of DNA that can relocate (transpose) to different positions within the genome of a single cell. In the years since their initial discovery in 1948 by Barbara McClintock, these mobile genetic elements have come to be widely recognised as ubiquitous components of genomes representing all major branches of life; furthermore, transposons have been developed into powerful tools for molecular biology, and, in particular, ...

Solar Energy Technology Advances
G. N. Tiwari

Nova Science Publishers, 2005

This book reviews recent advanced research work in the area of flat plate collectors, solar distillation, greenhouse technology for crop drying, and production and solar electric/ thermal (PV/T) systems. The basic working principle, energy balances, thermal modelling, energy, and economic analysis will be discussed. An instantaneous and overall efficiency of each solar thermal and electric system are also discussed and their results compared for ...

Robotics in Surgery: History, Current And Future Applications

Nova Science Publishers, 2006

Robotics began as a science fiction creation which has become quite real, first in assembly line operations such as automobile manufacturing, airplane construction etc. They have now reached such areas as the ever-multiplying - medical field. Robotic surgery is now becoming highly practised in open heart, lung, and other forms of surgery. This book covers the developing stages of robotic surgery and its expectations in the medical field.

Fish Larval Physiology

Science Publishers, 2008

To study physiology is to examine how organisms have evolved solutions to the business of living in an inanimate world. Our world is and has always been dominated by physical and chemical forces. A physicist might tell us that all things are physical, while a chemist is more concerned with the elementary nature of reactions. A physical chemist sees the bonds between these views, and a biochemist draws out the organic symphony of the vital ...

Election Reform and Local Election Officials
Eric A. Fischer

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

Local election officials (LEOs) are critical to the administration of federal elections and the implementation of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA, P.L. 107-252). Two surveys of LEOs were performed, in 2004 and 2006, by Texas A&M University; the surveys were sponsored and coordinated by the authors. Although care needs to be taken in interpreting the results, they may have implications for several policy issues, such as how election ...

Thermodynamics And Heat Powered Cycles: A Cognitive Engineering Approach
Chih Wu

Nova Science Publishers, 2007

Due to the rapid advances in computer technology, intelligent computer software and multimedia have become essential parts of engineering education. Software integration with various media such as graphics, sound, video and animation is providing efficient tools for teaching and learning. A modern textbook should contain both the basic theory and principles, along with an updated pedagogy. Often traditional engineering thermodynamics courses are ...

Financial Regulators

Nova Science Publishers, 2008

Congress granted financial regulators flexibility to establish their own compensation systems and required certain agencies to seek to maintain comparability with each other in pay and benefits to help the agencies overcome impediments to recruiting and retaining employees and avoid competing for the same employees. In response to a request, this book reviews: how the performance-based pay systems of 10 financial regulators are aligned with six ...

Human Rights in the Americas

Nova Science Publishers, 2004

The existence of human rights helps secure the peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, and prevent humanitarian crises. These human rights include freedom from torture, freedom of expression, press freedom, women's rights, children's rights, and the protection of minorities. This book surveys the countries of the Americas and is augmented by a current bibliography and useful indexes by subject, title and ...

Dark Matter: New Research

Nova Science Publishers, 2006

It is generally believed that most of the matter in the universe is dark, i.e. cannot be detected from the light which it emits (or fails to emit). Its presence is inferred indirectly from the motions of astronomical objects, specifically stellar, galactic, and galaxy cluster/supercluster observations. It is also required in order to enable gravity to amplify the small fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background enough to form the ...

Microbial Ecology Of The Soil And Plant Growth
Pierre Davet

Science Publishers, 2004

Pierre Davet describes the subterranean world and the micro-organisms to be found there, then shows how micro-organisms can modify the physico-chemical environment, the microbiological equilibria and can affect the growth of plants, before discussing both interventions and the utilization of these organisms.
