Download or read book The Chemistry of Ruthenium written by E.A. Seddon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 1414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemistry of Ruthenium is concerned with the chemistry of ruthenium, with emphasis on synthesis and structure. The discussion spans a wide range of fields, from coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry to structural chemistry (of both molecular and extended lattices), electrochemistry and photochemistry, as well as kinetics and spectroscopy. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the discovery and early history of ruthenium, along with its extraction and purification, isotopes, physical and chemical properties, and applications. The discussion then turns to the concept of oxidation state and a scheme for systematizing descriptive inorganic chemistry together with its applicability to ruthenium chemistry. Subsequent chapters focus on the chemistry of ruthenium(VIII), ruthenium(VII), ruthenium(VI), ruthenium(V), ruthenium(IV), ruthenium(III), ruthenium(II), ruthenium(I), and ruthenium(0). The book also considers ruthenium carbonyl clusters and nitrosyls before concluding with a review of the photophysics and photochemistry of tris(diimine)ruthenium(II) complexes. This monograph will be useful to students, practitioners, and researchers in the field of inorganic chemistry, as well as those who are interested in the chemistry of ruthenium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of optoelectronic polymers has continuously expanded in the past two decades because of their innovative applications in a variety of technologies in optoelectronic, photonic and energy research. Groups across the world are still looking into the fundamentals, as well as their applications, which remain to be fully understood and envisioned. This is the first book on the topic for researchers who are entering the field, highlighting the remarkable basic science and technological potential of this class of materials. Chapters will focus on the fundamental concepts as well as up-and-coming research into the applications of these polymers. Chapters will look at topics such as pure organic phosphorescence and external stimuli-responsive luminescent materials that are not covered in other books.

Download or read book WHAT written by John Cooper Clarke and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Nothing short of dazzling' – Alex Turner 'A big-hearted poet of boundless humour and unmistakable style' – Kit Fan, Guardian Dr John Cooper Clarke's dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original 'People's Poet' comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain's most beloved writers and performers. James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker's acerbic pen – and that's just the first poem. Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his sprawling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns with his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, with a sensitivity only a writer with a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke's could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.

Book excerpt: The book contains proceedings of the XV International Scientific Conference INTERAGROMASH 2022, Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The agro-industrial complex is the most extensive and vital industry. It is rapidly developing by introducing the latest technologies and automating various processes necessary for the functioning of this area. The book is dedicated to engineering technologies of precision farming and agricultural robotics. It includes studies on natural resources variability, sustainable soil management, Agro Big Data, Internet of Things, software and mobile apps for precision agriculture, smart weather for precision agriculture, simulations models and decision support systems, expert systems, DGPS, soil physical and chemical characteristic sensors, machinery, etc. Different types of agricultural robots are presented in the book: autonomous fruit picking robots, farming bots that can seed and water plants, test the soil and remove weeds, completely autonomous robot for ecological and economical ultra-high precision spraying and weeding, harvesting robots with the special vision systems that can “see” fruits and understand whether they're ripe and ready to pick, and others. Also, the book covers advances in agricultural biotechnology in such areas of research as crop production improvement practices, genetic modification, as well as microbial biotechnology in agriculture, etc. The book is aimed for scientists, researchers, and graduate students. It is also useful for representatives of regional authorities, as it gives an idea of existing high-tech solutions for agriculture. The book is written and edited by international researchers, academics, and experts in the corresponding research areas.

Book excerpt: On a beautiful day many years after the mass extinction of all human beings, Gub the Cowboy decides to take a ride through the desert. Gub the Cowboy is a Practical Forecaster, a superbeing that is virtually invincible. Nearly all of the inhabitants of Earth (now renamed Practical Planet by the omnipotent overlord Happy Cloud) are. However, when Gub’s ride goes awry and he accidentally unleashes a sentient outhouse with the power to turn Practical Forecasters into hollow, sickeningly dapper shadows of their former selves, he is catapulted into a lifestyle of complete insanity as he simultaneously tries to evade the Portapotty and save his brother from its foul clutches. Making both friends and enemies at every turn, Gub soon finds himself stuck in an adventure that he didn’t really want, surrounded by Forecasters that he doesn’t really know. As the plot thickens and the reach of the Portapotty grows ever longer, Gub is forced to contemplate his own invincibility and wonder if there are things worse than death if one can never die.

Download or read book Klimat written by Thane Gustafson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discerning analysis of the future effects of climate change on Russia, the major power most dependent on the fossil fuel economy. Russia will be one of the countries most affected by climate change. No major power is more economically dependent on the export of hydrocarbons; at the same time, two-thirds of RussiaÕs territory lies in the arctic north, where melting permafrost is already imposing growing damage. Climate change also brings drought and floods to RussiaÕs south, threatening the countryÕs agricultural exports. Thane Gustafson predicts that, over the next thirty years, climate change will leave a dramatic imprint on Russia. The decline of fossil fuel use is already underway, and restrictions on hydrocarbons will only tighten, cutting fuel prices and slashing RussiaÕs export revenues. Yet Russia has no substitutes for oil and gas revenues. The country is unprepared for the worldwide transition to renewable energy, as Russian leaders continue to invest the national wealth in oil and gas while dismissing the promise of post-carbon technologies. Nor has the state made efforts to offset the direct damage that climate change will do inside the country. Optimists point to new opportunitiesÑhigher temperatures could increase agricultural yields, the melting of arctic ice may open year-round shipping lanes in the far north, and Russia could become a global nuclear-energy supplier. But the eventual post-Putin generation of Russian leaders will nonetheless face enormous handicaps, as their country finds itself weaker than at any time in the preceding century. Lucid and thought-provoking, Klimat shows how climate change is poised to alter the global order, potentially toppling even great powers from their perches.
