Author: Non-Conventional Yeasts in Genetics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Author: Klaus WolfPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540442158
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
Most information on yeasts derives from experiments with the conventional yeasts Saccaromyces cerevisiae and Schizossaccharomyces pombe, the complete nuclear and mitochondrial genome of which has also been sequenced. For all other non-conventional yeasts, investigations are in progress and the rapid development of molecular techniques has allowed an insight also into a variety of non-conventional yeasts. In this bench manual, over 70 practical protocols using 15 different non-conventional yeast species and in addition several protocols of general use are described in detail. All of these experiments on the genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology of yeasts have been contributed by renowned laboratories and have been reproduced many times. The reliable protocols are thus ideally suited also for undergraduate and graduate practical courses.
Nuclear Waste Politics
Author: Matthew CottonPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317665023
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The question of what to do with radioactive waste has dogged political administrations of nuclear-powered electricity-producing nations since the inception of the technology in the 1950s. As the issue rises to the forefront of current energy and environmental policy debates, a critical policy analysis of radioactive waste management in the UK provides important insights for the future. Nuclear Waste Politics sets out a detailed historical and social scientific analysis of radioactive waste management and disposal in the UK from the 1950s up to the present day; drawing international comparisons with Sweden, Finland, Canada and the US. A theoretical framework is presented for analysing nuclear politics: blending literatures on technology policy, environmental ethics and the geography and politics of scale. The book proffers a new theory of "ethical incrementalism" and practical policy suggestions to facilitate a fair and efficient siting process for radioactive waste management facilities. The book argues that a move away from centralised, high capital investment national siting towards a regional approach using deep borehole disposal, could resolve many of the problems that the high stakes, inflexible "megaproject" approach has caused across the world. This book is an important resource for academics and researchers in the areas of environmental management, energy policy, and science and technology studies.
Additives for Plastics Handbook
Author: J. MurphyPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080498612
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
Both technically and economically, additives form a large and increasingly significant part of the polymer industry, both plastics and elastomers. Since the first edition of this book was published, there have been wide-ranging developments, covering chemistry and formulation of new and more efficient additive systems and the safer use of additives, both by processors in the factory and, in the wider field, as they affect the general public. This new edition follows the successful formula of its predecessor, it provides a comprehensive view of all types of additives, concentrating mainly on their technical aspects (chemistry/formulation, structure, function, main applications) with notes on the commercial background of each. The field has been expanded to include any substance that is added to a polymer to improve its use, so including reinforcing materials (such as glass fibre), carbon black and titanium dioxide. This is a book which has been planned for ease of use and the information is presented in a way which is appropriate to the users' needs.

The Management of Health Care
Author: William J. AbernathyPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Health services administration
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The essential purpose of this book is to draw attention to the problems of managing the creation and use of technology in health care, whether that means a new blood pressure machine or a new way of doing something, whether directly involved in the medical treatment process, e.G., The nurse practitioner, or in the management of that process, e.G., A management information system. The first section deals with research and development. The second section deals with the problems of introducing and diffusing new technology in the health care system. The third deals with the impact and consequences of technology in health organization, and the final section with the problems of evaluation and values as these affect critical decision choices.
