Since cheap, abundant energy has been at the core of our industrial society, and has resulted in the technological advancements we enjoy today, the peak in world oil extraction would potentially have major impacts on civilization unless we prepare well in advance. Energy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st Century directly affecting wildlife conservation wherever energy extraction is a primary economic activity and indirectly through deepening economic recessions. Peak Oil, Economic Growth, and Wildlife Conservation Furthermore, the lack of cheap, abundant energy directly and indirectly affects conservation efforts by professional societies and federal and state agencies, and NGOs concerned with wildlife issues..

OCT is rapidly being adopted in cardiology practice. Cardiovascular OCT Imaging.Many cardiologists are not familiar with image interpretation and don’t have enough background/knowledge to use the information in clinical practice. However, gap exists between the speed of technology development and the knowledge of cardiologists.

The book records the essential discoveries of mathematical and computational scientists in chronological order, following the birth of ideas on the basis of prior ideas ad infinitum. The authors document the winding path of mathematical scholarship throughout history, and most importantly, the thought process of each individual that resulted in the mastery of their subject.

This book examines the impact of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on national and international jurisprudence, since its adoption in 1989. Litigating the Rights of the Child This book presents a global and comparative picture on the use of the CRC in litigation and identifies emerging trends. Litigating the Rights of the Child provides insight in the role of the CRC in domestic jurisprudence in ten countries from different parts of the world, with civil law, common law and Islamic law systems.

In addition, it offers analyses of the jurisprudence of regional courts, in Europe and the Americas, and of human rights treaty bodies, including the Human Rights Committee, Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.This book examines the impact of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on national and international jurisprudence, since its adoption in 1989.

  Aber auch niedergelassene Urologen wie Hans Koch werden vorgestellt oder kunstgeschichtliche Bezüge aufgezeigt. Das Buch ist ein anregender Überblick über die lokale und regionale Entwicklung der Urologie, gerade ohne Erfolgsgeschichten aufzeigen zu wollen, sondern ein Beispiel für den Urologenalltag in verschiedenen Epochen. Daher lautet eine zentrale Frage wie sich diese Kulturregion und das Fachgebiet wechselseitig durchdringen und welche Bedeutung der Kategorie Raum in der medizinhistorischen Analyse zu kommen kann.

Written by prominent retinal dystrophy specialists from the largest dystrophy centers worldwide, Retinal Dystrophy Gene Atlas contains more than 80 chapters, each of which describes the clinical and photographic manifestations of a specific gene. Retinal Dystrophy Gene Atlas. However, given the rapid improvement in molecular diagnostics, and the exponential increase in our understanding of the phenotypes caused by each mutated gene, the paradigm has changed.

Electrochemistry of Immobilized Particles and Droplets It includes an enlarged coverage of applications for materials characterization and analysis. This second edition of a successful and highly-accessed monograph has been extended by more than 100 pages. This also includes studies of ion transfer between aqueous and immiscible non-aqueous liquids.

 The book is still the only one detailing strategies for solid state electroanalysis. Electrochemistry of Immobilized Particles and Droplets It includes an enlarged coverage of applications for materials characterization and analysis. It also features the specific potential of the techniques to use immobilized particles (for studies of solid materials) and of immobilized droplets of immiscible liquids for the purpose of studying the three-phase electrochemistry of these liquids.

Therefore, Retinal Dystrophy Gene Atlas catalogs the different phenotypes that have been reported with each mutated gene. Each section describes a gene and its known clinical phenotypes and features of disease, along with retinal photos of affected patients. Retinal Dystrophy Gene Atlas serves as a resource to aid genetic diagnosis in patients with retinal dystrophies.
