Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions provides the first comprehensive analysis of stabilization which constitutes the new reference point for international intervention in unruly parts of the Global South. The notion of ‘stabilization’ and the practice of ‘stability operations’ experienced a revival over the last decade. The United Nations the European Union NATO as well as most member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development have embraced these terms in their foreign policy bureaucracies. The general disillusionment with the achievements of large-scale peacebuilding operations in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the failures of the so-called Arab Springs contributed to the success of this new discourse. Yet while widely mentioned and endorsed stabilization is rarely defined. This volume identifies common elements to stabilization doctrines and examines how they are applied in practice. It dissects how stabilization emerged and unfolds how different actors adopt it and for what purposes and how it is linked to the broader security and development discourses. Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions will be of great interest to scholars of Peacebuilding International Intervention and International Relations more generally. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well. ' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM NutritionistFrom the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods. Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products and marketing them with nutritional and health claims. Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate the battle between low-fat low-carb low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets the limitations of dietary guidelines and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific social and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality. | Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

The Biopolitics of Dementia A Neurocritical Perspective

The Biopolitics of Dementia A Neurocritical Perspective

This book explores how dementia studies relates to dementia’s growing public profile and corresponding research economy. The book argues that a neuropsychiatric biopolitics of dementia positions dementia as a syndrome of cognitive decline caused by discrete brain diseases distinct from ageing widely misunderstood by the public that will one day be overcome through technoscience. This biopolitics generates dementia’s public profile and is implicated in several problems including the failure of drug discovery the spread of stigma the perpetuation of social inequalities and the lack of support that is available to people affected by dementia. Through a failure to critically engage with neuropsychiatric biopolitics much dementia studies is complicit in these problems. Drawing on insights from critical psychiatry and critical gerontology this book explores these problems and the relations between them revealing how they are facilitated by neuro-agnostic dementia studies work that lacks robust biopolitical critiques and sociopolitical alternatives. In response the book makes the case for a more biopolitically engaged neurocritical dementia studies and shows how such a tradition might be realised through the promotion of a promissory sociopolitics of dementia.

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

The Impact of Immigration on African Americans

Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans but especially for African Americans. áThe sheer magnitude of immigration-it is the primary factor driving population growth-is so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic political social and environmental circumstances of most Americans. áBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market have special consequences for African Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers. These effects can be both negative and positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor into the low-wage sector of the labor market which tends to reduce wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers. Employers may prefer hiring immigrants who are perceived to be hard working and uncomplaining to hiring African Americans. Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public services (especially education) on which African Americans depend. Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban revitalization which can increase job opportunities and spread an ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political power of African Americans but it can also strengthen the civil rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting others. This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include Gerald Jaynes (Yale University) Vernon Briggs (Cornell University) Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California Irvine) Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College) Manuel Pastor (University of California Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli (University of Massachusetts Boston) Steven Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies) Frank Morris (University of Texas Dallas) Steven Shulman (Colorado State University) and Hannes Johannsson (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) and Lisa Catanzarite (University of California Los Angeles). | The Impact of Immigration on African Americans
