Book excerpt: Shimizu/zuiver water. Een lang gedicht, door Joris Iven, JAPAN. Met zwart wit illustraties.Inleiding: Nicole Van Overstraeten. "Joris Iven (*1954) uit Diepenbeek, Limburg, is een van onze beste Vlaamse dichters. Maar hij is ook een kosmopolitisch auteur: hij publiceerde essays en poëzievertalingen van dichters uit Latijns-Amerika, Turkije, Marokko, India, Zuid-Afrika en Ierland. En nu is er Shimizu, een verrukkelijk gedicht van meer dan 200 verzen over Tokyo, de hoofdstad van Japan. Shimizu betekent: zuiver water. Men zou ook kunnen zeggen: bronwater. Een begrip, in Japanse ideogrammen (of kanji) voorgesteld door twee tekens, shi 清 = bron en mizu, 水 = water. Ogenschijnlijk is Shimizu het poëtische relaas van een tocht doorheen de stad, gespreid over een tiental pagina's. Maar laten we duidelijk zijn: Shimizu is niet de neerslag van een toeristische wandeling. De dichter Joris Iven herleidt het stedelijk landschap tot zijn natuurlijke essentie: de loop van de rivieren".
Download or read book Electron Impact Ionization written by T.D. Märk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is perhaps surprising that a process which was one of the first to be studied on an atomic scale, and a process which first received attention over seven decades ago, continues to be the object of diverse and intense research efforts. Such is the case with the (seemingly) conceptually simple and familiar mechanism of electron impact ionization of atoms, molecules, and ions. Not only has the multi-body nature of the collision given ground to theoretical effort only grudgingly, but also the variety and subtlety of processes contributing to ionization have helped insure that progress has come only with commensurate work: no pain - no gain. Modern experimental methods have made it possible to effectively measure and explore threshold laws, differential cross sections, partial cross sections, inner-shell ionization, and the ionization of unstable species such as radicals and ions. In most instances the availability of experimental data has provided impetus and guidance for further theoretical progress.

Download or read book The Boltzmann Equation written by E.G.D. Cohen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In,1872, Boltzmann published a paper which for the first time provided a precise mathematical basis for a discussion of the approach to equilibrium. The paper dealt with the approach to equilibrium of a dilute gas and was based on an equation - the Boltzmann equation, as we call it now - for the velocity distribution function of such ~ gas. The Boltzmann equation still forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases and has proved fruitful not only for the classical gases Boltzmann had in mind, but als- if properly generalized - for the electron gas in a solid and the excitation gas in a superfluid. Therefore it was felt by many of us that the Boltzmann equation was of sufficient interest, even today, to warrant a meeting, in which a review of its present status would be undertaken. Since Boltzmann had spent a good part of his life in Vienna, this city seemed to be a natural setting for such a meeting. The first day was devoted to historical lectures, since it was generally felt that apart from their general interest, they would furnish a good introduction to the subsequent scientific sessions. We are very much indebted to Dr. D.

Download or read book Chemical Physical and Biological Features of Okra Pectin written by Nipaporn Sengkhamparn and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Okra pods, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, are used in Thailand as vegetable as well as traditional medicine. Both textural and healthy properties are suggested to originate from the high polysaccharide content of okra pods, although our knowledge concerning the precise chemical structure of the different okra polysaccharides is far from complete. Consequently, the first aim of the research described in this thesis was to characterize all polysaccharides present in okra cell walls with emphasis on pectic molecules, and in addition to establish their physical and biological properties. Okra cell wall polysaccharides were fractionation by sequential extraction and the pectins were obtained in the three fractions. Different types of rhamnogalacturonan I structures were recognized to be present in the buffer soluble and the chelating agent soluble fraction. By using enzymatic degradation of the pectins using pure and well characterized enzymes, followed by identification of the oligomers released by NMR and mass spectrometry, it was found that the buffer soluble, okra typical RG I, contained a rather unique substitution of the rhamnosyl moieties present in the backbone with acetyl groups and alpha galactosyl residues. The chelating agent soluble RG I was linked to homogalacturonan structural elements and resembled more commonly found RG I with substitutions of short chains of beta-linked galactose including some arabinose decoration. The rheological properties of the okra typical RG I differed from other pectins since diluted solutions gave rise to very high viscosities and a slimy appearance. It is suggested that the acetylation of the rhamnosyl residues greatly affect its rheological properties and plays an important role through hydrophobic associations. Okra pectins also showed a high anti-complementary activity using the complement-fixing activity assay. Moreover, cell line studies indicated its possible use as a coating material for medical devices as demonstrated before for more complex RG I segments from apple pectin. The hemicellulose populations found in okra cell walls, extracted with concentrated alkali, were characterized by sugar (linkage) composition and enzymatic degradation studies to be a XXXG-type xyloglucan and a 4-O-methylglucuronoxylan. The research described leads to the recognition of new pectic RG I structures being quite different from the ones described so far.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of Halley's Cornet in 1986 has generated much ex citement in the scientific community with preparations already afoot for an International Cornet Watch and a cornet launch by the European Space Community, the Japanese and Soviet Space Scientists. The meet ing held at the University of Maryland in October 1980 was primarily stimulated by the preparations for further study of this cornet and by one of the most important unanswered questions related to comets, name ly, whether they may have made a eontribution to the origin of life on earth. Our un"derstanding of the role of comets in the origin of life must necessarily come from our studies of the astronomy and the chem istry of comets. Some clues to the processes which led to the for mation of organic molecules and eventually to the appearance of life have come from these studies of comets, perhaps the most ancient of all objects in our solar system. Whether there is, however, a biology of comets still remains to be seen, although some claims have been made that perhaps comets might themselves provide an environment for even the beginnings of life. Scientists with the latest available information on comets and differing opinions as to the role of comets in the origin of life attended this symposium. The formal papers presented are now being made available to the students of chemical evolution within the pages of this volume.
Download or read book America s Climate Choices written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is occurring. It is very likely caused by the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities, and poses significant risks for a range of human and natural systems. And these emissions continue to increase, which will result in further change and greater risks. America's Climate Choices makes the case that the environmental, economic, and humanitarian risks posed by climate change indicate a pressing need for substantial action now to limit the magnitude of climate change and to prepare for adapting to its impacts. Although there is some uncertainty about future risk, acting now will reduce the risks posed by climate change and the pressure to make larger, more rapid, and potentially more expensive reductions later. Most actions taken to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts are common sense investments that will offer protection against natural climate variations and extreme events. In addition, crucial investment decisions made now about equipment and infrastructure can "lock in" commitments to greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. Finally, while it may be possible to scale back or reverse many responses to climate change, it is difficult or impossible to "undo" climate change, once manifested. Current efforts of local, state, and private-sector actors are important, but not likely to yield progress comparable to what could be achieved with the addition of strong federal policies that establish coherent national goals and incentives, and that promote strong U.S. engagement in international-level response efforts. The inherent complexities and uncertainties of climate change are best met by applying an iterative risk management framework and making efforts to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions; prepare for adapting to impacts; invest in scientific research, technology development, and information systems; and facilitate engagement between scientific and technical experts and the many types of stakeholders making America's climate choices.
Download or read book The Inr Handbook written by Raymond Bushell and published by Weatherhill, Incorporated. This book was released on 1979 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For collectors who have discovered the delights of such miniature Japanese art forms as theinroand thenetsuke, this authoritative and enlightening book offers a wealth of valuable information. That it also affords entry to a world of fascinating design and superb craftsmanship goes without saying. In addition to illustrating in color and discussing in detail 108 distinguished inro and their accompanyingnetsuke, as well as 18 related miniature objects, it presents highly informative essays on the making ofinro, on pearl shell inlays, and, in particular on the materials and techniques of lacquer art, the last of these with 62 color photos. It also furnishes an extensive list of lacquer artists' signatures with 386 photos. It is refreshing to have an author tell his readers not only what his book is but also what it is not. In his introduction Bushell says: "This book is addressed to the collector ofinro, netsuke,and other forms of miniature Japanese art, with emphasis on works in lacquer. Its purpose is specific and limited. It is not a comprehensive study of lacquer. It is not a historical survey, a technical analysis, a comparative examination, or a compendium of terms and definitions. In point of time it is limited to the Tokugawa, Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa periods. In point of craft it is limited to the later development of precise and sophisticated techniques, with their brilliant decorative effects." Bushell points out that he is not making an unnecessary emotional appeal in praise of lacquer. His objective is far more practical. This book is the product of his efforts to understand the structure underlying the beauty of lacquer art and to provide clear and simple explanations. Because other books on the subject had not satisfied him, he undertook his own basic research, and here he presents the information he acquired through painstaking study with master lacquer craftsmen and other authorities.

Download or read book Anaerobic Reactors for Sewage Treatment Design construction and operation written by Carlos Augusto de Lemos Chernicharo and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anaerobic sewage treatment using UASB reactors has significantly expanded in the last few decades and is now a consolidated technology in some warm climate regions. Several advantages of the anaerobic process make it a more sustainable option for sewage treatment. However, there are still important constraints related to design, construction, and operation of UASB reactors. Conversely, there is enough knowledge, experience, and proven technology that can be used to effectively tackle all the related drawbacks. This book delivers the most relevant techno-scientific developments from academia and water authorities, comprehensively addressing the main aspects of interest in design, construction, and operation of UASB reactors for sewage treatment. Special attention is given to the proper and integrated management of sludge, scum, gaseous emissions, energy recovery, and effluent quality. The main purpose is to provide information and share experiences not yet compiled in the specialized literature on anaerobic sewage treatment. Therefore, a sequence of 12 well-interconnected chapters consolidates the practical knowledge and experiences that important research groups and recognized professionals worldwide have acquired over the past 20 years in demo- and full-scale anaerobic-based sewage treatment plants. Anaerobic Reactors for Sewage Treatment: Design, Construction and Operation can significantly contribute towards a responsible expansion of the anaerobic technology in the world. The book is a valuable tool for engineers, constructors, operators, wastewater utility managers, as well as for students interested in anaerobic processes for sewage treatment.
Download or read book Electron Molecule Collisions written by Isao Shimamura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scattering phenomena play an important role in modern physics. Many significant discoveries have been made through collision experiments. Amongst diverse kinds of collision systems, this book sheds light on the collision of an electron with a molecule. The electron-molecule collision provides a basic scattering problem. It is scattering by a nonspherical, multicentered composite particle with its centers having degrees of freedom of motion. The molecule can even disintegrate, Le., dissociate or ionize into fragments, some or all of which may also be molecules. Although it is a difficult problem, the recent theoretical, experimental, and computational progress has been so significant as to warrant publication of a book that specializes in this field. The progress owes partly to technical develop ments in measurements and computations. No less important has been the great and continuing stimulus from such fields of application as astrophysics, the physics of the earth's upper atmosphere, laser physics, radiation physics, the physics of gas discharges, magnetohydrodynamic power generation, and so on. This book aims at introducing the reader to the problem of electron molecule collisions, elucidating the physics behind the phenomena, and review ing, to some extent, up-to-date important results. This book should be appropri ate for graduate reading in physics and chemistry. We also believe that investi gators in atomic and molecular physics will benefit much from this book.
