Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

While the number of publications on corporate social responsibility has skyrocketed since the last economic crisis that began in 2008 challenges still remain in the modern economy that make socially responsible business a leading topic both in the field of science and business practice. The concept of corporate social responsibility covers not only practices implemented by enterprises but also attitudes represented by consumers and other market entities. Though much has been written about corporate social responsibility and the potential benefits it offers businesses there remains a misunderstanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) responsible management (RM) and responsible consumption (RC). Examining the level of responsible management practices implemented by Polish enterprises and assessing consumer attitudes in the field of corporate social responsibility will serve to identify best business practices and enhance management theory. Because this research examines both sides of the market companies and consumers it offers a more holistic view on social responsibility responsible management and responsible consumer behaviour. The contribution of this book is the development of the assessment tool for measuring social responsibility of every enterprise – Enterprise Social Responsibility Index (EnSRI) and Consumer Social Responsibility Index (CnSRI). This book is written to meet the needs of academics students company owners and managers. It also provides an integrated view of responsibility from the point of view of both enterprises and consumers. | Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Genetics Genomics and Breeding of Soybean

Genetics Genomics and Breeding of Soybean

The soybean is an economically important leguminous seed crop for feed and food products that is rich in seed protein (about 40 percent) and oil (about 20 percent); it enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen in symbiosis with bacteria. Soybean was domesticated in northeastern China about 2500 BC and subsequently spread to other countries. The enormous economic value of soybean was realized in the first two decades of the 20th century with world production of soybean tripling in the last 20 years. In addition to human consumption it is a major protein source in animal feeds and is becoming a major crop for biodiesel production. In the international trade markets soybean is ranked number one in the world among the major oil crops. For many decades plant breeders have used conventional breeding techniques to improve soybeans. While soybean production continues to expand as demand for soybeans and soybean products increases there is a need for more sophisticated techniques. Bridging traditional research with modern molecular investigations on soybean this volume explores the recent advances in soybean genome mapping molecular breeding genomics sequencing and bioinformatics. The book will be useful to soybean researchers as well as researchers working with other crop species. | Genetics Genomics and Breeding of Soybean

Chiral Drugs

Chiral Drugs

This title was first published in 2001: In the early twentieth century the relevance of chirality to the pharmaceutical industry was established by the fact that one enantiomer of hyoscyamine possessed greater pharmacological activity than the other. Today most new drugs and those under development consist of a single optically active isomer and chirality is also becoming an issue for the agrochemical and other industries. Regulatory agencies throughout the world are currently reviewing the importance of chirality with regard to pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. New guidelines from such agencies have been key drivers for the focus on single enantiomer products in these industries. These scientific and regulatory developments have created the need for a guide for workers in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries seeking information on chiral molecules processes and commercially available chiral chemicals. Chiral Drugs is a comprehensive listing of over 2500 chiral drugs classified by therapeutic class and including structures and physical properties for each entry in the listing. Its companion volume Chiral Intermediates presents the same detailed information for over 4700 commercially available chiral chemicals. The 'Chiral Pool' of readily available relatively inexpensive chiral compounds has been expanding at a rapid rate as more and more products are produced in large quantities at economical prices. New developments in various technologies for isolating preparing and purifying chiral materials have greatly increased the opportunities for utilizing optically pure compounds in commercial applications. Novel techniques for classical resolution new methodologies for developing selective enzymes for biocatalysis advances in the application of microorganisms for chemical production and continued progress in the area of asymmetric synthesis have all contributed to the growth of this field. Part One of each book contains four chapters which provide an introduction to topics relevant to the field of chiral chemistry and includes a brief overview of chirality a short discussion on the current market drivers in the area of chiral chemistry and a basic presentation of the various sources and methods for obtaining chiral compounds. Part Two presents entries for over 2500 chiral drugs classified by therapeutic class. For each main entry the chemical name and a list of trade names and synonyms is provided; the CAS Registry Number the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) number and the Merck Index (12th edition) number are given when available. The physical properties including specific rotation of each compound are described and indicated applications are presented. The structure of nearly every compound is provided and the manufacturers and suppliers of the compounds are also given. Indexes including a master index of names and synonyms and an index of custom manufacturing services for production of chiral compounds are appended. Chiral Drugs provides an introduction to the types of sources and methods currently in use for obtaining chiral molecules and is an invaluable resource for researchers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors as well as to those working in the basic biochemical sciences. Chiral Intermediates provides an introduction to the types of sources and methods currently in use for obtaining chiral molecules and is an invaluable resource for information on available chiral molecules. Chiral Intermediates and Chiral Drugs are the most comprehensive and detailed guides to chiral compounds available.

Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project

Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project

This volume is based on possibly the biggest single Europe-wide project in urban history. In 1955 the International Commission for the History of Towns established the European historic towns atlas project in accordance with a common scheme in order to encourage comparative urban studies. Although advances in urban archaeology since the 1960s have highlighted the problematic relationship between the oldest extant town plan and the actual origins of a town the large-scale cadastral maps as they have been made available by the European historic towns atlas project are still necessary if we want to understand the evolution of the physical form of our towns. By 2014 the project consisted of over 500 individual publications from over 18 different countries across Europe. Each atlas comprises at least a core-map at the scale of 1:2500 analytical maps and an explanatory text. The time has come to use this enormous database that has been compiled over the last 40 years. This volume itself based on a conference related to this topic that was held in the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin in 2006 takes up this challenge. The focus of the volume is on the question of how seigneurial power influenced the creation of towns in medieval Europe and of how this process in turn influenced urban form. Part I of the volume addresses two major issues: the history of the use of town plans in urban research and the methodological challenges of comparative urban history. Parts II and III constitute the core of the book focusing on the dynamic relationship between lordship and town planning in the core area of medieval Europe and on the periphery. In Part IV the symbolic meaning of town plans for medieval people is discussed. Part V consists of critical contributions by an archaeologist an art historian and an historical geographer. By presenting case studies by leading researchers from different European countries this volume combines findings that were hitherto not available in English | Lords and Towns in Medieval Europe The European Historic Towns Atlas Project
