 Handbook of Contemporary Islam and Muslim Lives English | 2021 | ISBN: 303032625X | 1289 Pages | PDF | 16 MB This is a comprehensive handbook which for the first time provides a general yet detailed discussion of contemporary Islam and various aspects of Muslim lives. It offers a much needed tool for an introduction to the world of contemporary Muslim life and debate, and a link of continuity between the Muslim world and Muslims living and born in the West. The reader gains access to articles by leading scholars who observe phenomena in a post-9/11 context and from a global viewpoint. The topics have been carefully selected to provide the reader with both the necessary general view that a good handbook must offer while presenting details and information, as well as ethnographic examples, to inspire further research and interest. Indeed, each chapter will offer topical reading suggestions from which one can expand the material discussed in the chapter. The approach of the handbook is mainly social-anthropological, but attention is given to other disciplines like history, geography, political studies, as well as gender studies and cultural studies.
 Handbook of Assisted and Amendment-Enhanced Sustainable Remediation Technology English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119670365 | 625 Pages | PDF | 13 MB The Handbook of Assisted and Amendment-Enhanced Sustainable Remediation Technology discusses sustainable approaches to the removal of contaminants from the environment or the reduction of their toxicity. The distinguished editor has included resources from an internationally recognized group of academics who discuss strategies to increase the effectiveness of phytoremediation.  Green`s Functions in Quantum Physics, Third Edition by Eleftherios N. Economou English | PDF | 2006 | 477 Pages | ISBN : 3540288384 | 4.1 MB In this third edition the book has been expanded in three directions: 1. Problems have been added at the end of each chapter (40% of which are solved in the last section of the book) together with suggestions for further reading. Furthermore, the number of appendices (marked with a grey stripe) has been substantially enlarged in order to make the book more self-su?cient. These additions, together with many clari?cations in the text, render the book more suitable as a companion in a course on Greens functions and their applications. 2.
 Geoinformation Metadata in INSPIRE and SDI: Understanding. Editing. Publishing by Leszek Litwin English | PDF | 2011 | 178 Pages | ISBN : 3642158617 | 6.9 MB The book is a new comprehensive textbook about creating and publishing geoinformation metadata. It is a compendium of knowledge about geoinformation metadata in INSPIRE Directive and Spatial Information Infrastructures. It contains the knowledge necessary to understand prior to the creation of geoinformation metadata. Metadata - "data about data" - describe the layers of spatial data (data series, services) responding to the questions: what?, why?, when?, who?, how? and where?  Geo-information: Technologies, Applications and the Environment by Mathias Lemmens English | EPUB | 2011 | 350 Pages | ISBN : 9400716664 | 8.9 MB Geomatics, the handling and processing of information and data about the Earth, is one geoscience discipline that has seen major changes in the last decade, as mapping and observation systems become ever more sensitive and sophisticated. This book is a unique and in-depth survey of the field, which has a central role to play in tackling a host of environmental issues faced by society.
 Genomics of Plant Genetic Resources: Volume 2. Crop productivity, food security and nutritional quality by Roberto Tuberosa English | EPUB | 2014 | 515 Pages | ISBN : 9400775741 | 3.9 MB Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for mining germplasm collections, mapping and cloning loci of interest, identifying novel alleles and deploying them for breeding purposes.  Fundamentals of Propulsion English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030799441 | 164 Pages | PDF | 3 MB This highly informative book offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of propulsion. The book focuses on foundational topics in propulsion, namely gas dynamics, turbomachinery, and combustion to more complex subjects such as practical design aspects of aircraft engines and thermodynamic aspects and analysis. It also includes pedagogical aspects such as end-of-chapter problems and worked examples to augment learning and self-testing. This book is a useful reference for students in the area of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Also, scientists and engineers working in the areas of aerospace propulsion and gas dynamics find this book a valuable addition.  Fundamentals of Cosmology, 2nd Edition by James Rich English | PDF | 2009 | 332 Pages | ISBN : 3642027997 | 7.4 MB A self-contained introduction to general relativity that is based on the homogeneity and isotropy of the local universe. Emphasis is placed on estimations of the densities of matter and vacuum energy, and on investigations of the primordial density fluctuations and the nature of dark matter.  From Euclidean to Hilbert Spaces: Introduction to Functional Analysis and its Applications English | 2021 | ISBN: 1786306824 | 368 Pages | EPUB | 23 MB From Euclidian to Hilbert Spaces analyzes the transition from finite dimensional Euclidian spaces to infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, a notion that can sometimes be difficult for non-specialists to grasp. The focus is on the parallels and differences between the properties of the finite and infinite dimensions, noting the fundamental importance of coherence between the algebraic and topological structure, which makes Hilbert spaces the infinite-dimensional objects most closely related to Euclidian spaces.  Food Tech Transitions: Reconnecting Agri-Food, Technology and Society by Cinzia Piatti English | PDF | 2019 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 3030210588 | 2.6 MB The food industry is now entering a transition age, as scientific advancements and technological innovations restructure what people eat and how people think about food. Food Tech Transitions provides a critical analysis of food technology and its impact, including the disruption potential of production and consumption logic, nutrition patterns, agronomic practices, and the human, environmental and animal ethics that are associated with technological change. |
