Overview: Environmental problems, as far as they raise economic questions, even conflicting with pre-ecology economics, can be tackled in different ways. The way chosen by Bernard Coupe was not the French ‘voie royale‘, -a Louis-XIV equivalent of a speedway - but the narrow path, con- sisting in carefully implementing a simple but valid model. This model is amenable to many extensions, but it reveals the core of some economic-ecological problems: the search for acceptable solutions when one is confronted with a set of rather narrow constraints. A not uninteresting finding is that ‘full-employm

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Economic growth and globalisation create traffic growth, leading to congestion, which again increases travel times and costs. Traffic growth also increases CO2 emissions, air pollution, accidents, and noise. So, clearly there is a need to manage traffic, taking into account that there is a need for transportation; hence it cannot be restricted without costs. ..Road pricing, where motorists pay for driving on specific roads, is an instrument that may efficiently reduce the negative impacts. But despite technological development and the efforts of the

Overview: First comprehensive history of immigration settlement in Canada.Identifies lessons learned from the Canadian experience applicable to Canada and other immigrant receiving countries.Original research u.While much has been written about Canada’s modern settlement program and there is a growing body of research and analysis of the settlement and integration successes and challenges of recent years, there is virtually no literature that has addressed the history of settlement services since the beginning of immigration to Canada.? Some survey histories of Canadian Immigration have touche

Overview: Comprehensive book on the state of the art in Raman spectroscopy concerning the development of methods and applications.Provides information on how to significantly improve the speed of Raman analysis.Raman imaging has long been used to probe the chemical nature of a sample, providing information on molecular orientation, symmetry and structure with sub-micron spatial resolution. Recent technical developments have pushed the limits of micro-Raman microscopy, enabling the acquisition of Raman spectra with unprecedented speed, and opening a pathway to fast chemical imaging for many app

Overview: Addresses the risks of radiation in the environment and food supply.Written by a well known expert with results of decades of research in the field.Also of use to professionals who are not radiation sThe book deals with various consequences of major nuclear accidents, such as in 1986 in Chernobyl and in 2011 in Fukushima. The public is extremely interested in learning more about the movements and risks posed by radiation in the environment related to food supply and food safety. Radionuclides are found in air, water, soil and even in us not only after nuclear accidents because they o

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anf?ngen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-7091-5177-8978-3-7091-5325-3Series ISSN 1816-5826

Overview: Outlines lesser known mechanisms which stimulate the development of valuable products for the chemical and energy industry.Suitable for researchers, teachers and PhD students.Analyses reaction mechaniThis book provides an analysis of the reaction mechanisms relevant to a number of processes in which CO2 is converted into valuable products. Several different processes are considered that convert CO2 either in specialty chemicals or in bulk products or fuels. For each reaction, the mechanism is discussed and the assessed steps besides the dark sites of the reaction pathway are highligh

Overview: Reports on novel schemes for minimax robust hypothesis testing and decentralized detection.Provides tools for dealing with modeling errors and outliers.Discusses applications to spectrum sensing, clas.This book generalizes and extends the available theory in robust and decentralized hypothesis testing. In particular, it presents a robust test for modeling errors which is independent from the assumptions that a sufficiently large number of samples is available, and that the distance is the KL-divergence. Here, the distance can be chosen from a much general model, which includes the KL

Overview: Defines race in social terms.Covers a range of areas with up-to-date research.Chapter authors are noted authorities.As much as Americans believe in the promise of an egalitarian, color-blind society, the reality is far from that ideal. People of color consistently lag behind their white counterparts in key quality-of-life areas. Despite many significant gains, widespread structural inequalities continue to exist and thrive. .Race and Social Problems. takes the long view of this state of affairs, offering both multi-level analysis and a practical blueprint for social justice. It begin

Overview: This interdisciplinary and critical collection of essays examines recent visual, architectural and spatial transformations in New York and other major cities in relation to issues of ethnicity, capital and culture. Innovative and wide-raning, the essays move between interpretative representations of the newly emerging metropolis and the larger theoretical and methodological questions raised by the task of representation itself.Contributors reflect on the construction of both the real and unreal city, the images, metaphors and discourses through which the contemporary city is represen

Overview: Challenges the dominant and hegemonic notion that Africa is peripheral, exceptionally outside world politics, and marginal.Offers a theoretically and empirically rich analysis by bringing together a nThis innovative book responds to an existing demand for taking Africa out of a place of exception and marginality, and placing it at the center of international relations and world politics. Bringing together a number of scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds to stage a critical intervention into the problematic ways Africa is accounted for in the dominant discourses of internati
