Vegetation & the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: The First 400 Million Years

Book Description

Plants have colonized and modified the world's surface for the past 400 million years. In this book the authors demonstrate that an understanding of the role of vegetation in the terrestrial carbon cycle during this time can be gained by linking the key mechanistic elements of present day vegetation processes to models of the global climate during different geological eras. The resulting interactive simulations of climate and vegetation processes tie in with observable geological data supporting the validity of the authors' approach.

Book Description

Silicon, the basic material for a multibillion-dollar industry, is the most widely researched and applied semiconductor, and its surfaces are the most thoroughly studied of all semiconductor surfaces. Silicon Surfaces and Formation of Interfaces may be used as an introduction to graduate-level physics and chemical physics. Moreover, it gives a specialized and comprehensive description of the most common faces of silicon crystals as well as their interaction with adsorbates and overlayers. This knowledge is presented in a systematic and easy-to-follow way. Discussion of each system is preceded by a brief overview which categorizes the features and physical mechanisms before the details are presented. The literature is easily available, and the references are numerous and organized in tables, allowing a search without the need to browse through the text.

Book Description

Experimental Protocols for Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species is a translated, expanded, and fully updated of the Japanese book Experimental Protocols for Reactive Oxygen Research: assay methods, gene analysis, and pathophysiology models published in 1994. The aim of the book is to provide experimental protocols covering many aspects of free radical research: biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, physiology, and medicine. The protocols are all self-contained describing the equipment and reagents needed and then detailing the experimental procedure.

Book Description

An up-to-date, comprehensive guide to LITHIUM CHEMISTRY

Although lithium has been the subject of numerous individual studies, this intriguing element has rarely been examined from the broad perspective many researchers require. Lithium Chemistry: A Theoretical and Experimental Overview fills this void by providing the most thorough and up-to-date overview available of current theories and experimental data.

Supported by nearly two hundred illustrations, this book draws upon the expertise of prominent researchers in the field, and treats the full range of modern applications and techniques. The result is a unique and invaluable guide to lithium studies for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of organic, inorganic, and organo-metallic chemistry.

Lithium Chemistry: A Theoretical and Experimental Overview assumes a background in quantum chemistry and experimental physical chemistry at the graduate level and includes coverage of these major topics:

Bonding, structures, and energies in organolithium compounds
Theoretical studies of aggregates of lithium compounds
Comparison of lithium and hydrogen bonds
Lithium atom matrix reactions with small molecules
NMR of organolithium compounds
Aspects of the thermochemistry of lithium compounds
The structure of lithiated amines and lithiated ethers—from carbanions to carbenoids
Complexes of inorganic lithium salts
Structures of lithium salts of heteroatom compounds
Synthetic ionophores for lithium ions

Book Description

The close relationship between experimentalists and theorists – whether solid state chemists or physicists – has, in the last few years, inspired much research in the field of materials with quasi one-dimensional structures.

Part II of this two-volume set deals with the experimental treatment of pseudo-one-dimensional conductors. Included are contributions on platinum chains, (SN) _x and (SNBr _y)x, the optical properties of 1-D inorganic metals, CDW transport in transition metal chalcogenides, and a lattice dynamical study of transition metal trichalcogenides.

Book Description

From the reviews:

"... Many parts of the book can be read by anyone with a basic abstract algebra course... it was one of the author's intentions to equip students who are interested in computational problems with the necessary algebraic background in pure mathematics and to encourage them to do further research in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. But researchers will also benefit from this exposition. They will find an up-to-date description of the related research ... The reviewer recommends the book to anybody who is interested in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry and its computational aspects."

Math. Reviews 2002

"... a sophisticated notebook, with plenty of suggestions, examples and cross references ... It is a welcome new and deep exploration into commutative algebra and its relations with algebraic geometry. It is full of results, from simple tricks to more elaborate constructions, all having in common a computational and constructive nature..."

Excellent Introduction to Italian Literature.......2004-02-06

This is a very good book to introduce students to prominent Italian Renaissance authors and their works. These particular selections cover a broad range of literary works that promote readers to want to further read more from these writers. For example, one could discover an interest in Boccaccio's "The Decameron" through reading a couple of the stories and that person may then want to also read the full translation by Mark Musa. This book acquaints readers to works where they may have once had no previous familiarity, yet after discovery, people can gain a love of these influential Renaissance thinkers.

Book Description

Petrarch, the "father of Humanism", has exerted a striking impact on Early Modern intellectuals. This volume discusses how Petrarch's writings were understood, read and used by intellectuals, writers and artists from the 14th to the 17th century. Specialists from various disciplines (Italian, French, Neo-Latin, Dutch, Art History, History of Science) demonstrate that early modern reception is an extremely variable phenomenon; that it is largely dominated by the various discourses, paradigm's, literary genres, interests, needs and experiences of the users, and to a much lesser degree by the author's text, even if safeguarded with such great care and by such a famous author as in Petrarch's case. The volume is important for all scholars interested in literature, Humanism, Renaissance Studies, Petrarch, reception, history of reading and the intellectual history of the Early Modern Period.

Book Description

This book, which is the first comprehensive study of its subject, shows how one traditionally esteemed author, the Roman poet Virgil, played an unexpectedly significant role in the shaping of Venetian Renaissance culture. The author draws on reception theory, the sociology of literature, and history of the book to argue that Virgil's poetry became a best-seller because it sometimes challenged, but more often confirmed, the specific moral, religious, and social values its Venetian readers brought with them to their texts. The texts that are used are the printed books of the fifteenth and sixteenth century printed books in which readers of the period encountered Virgil, the prefaces and commentaries that guided their responses, and, the marginal notes that record those responses. How the Renaissance Venetians saw themselves when they looked into their literary past tells us a good deal about them, but it also illuminates a number of issues at the centre of humanistic studies today, ranging from how reading takes place to the role of class and gender in fashioning interpretation. The wide range of interests that are touched on should make this book of value to scholars in the disciplines of classics, history, Renaissance studies, and Italian studies, as well as English literature and cultural studies.
