Es ist wahrscheinlicher geworden, dass wir zu «MenschenMachern» werden. In ihrem Buch widmen sich Hans-Gunter Gassen und Sabine Minol diesem faszinierenden Thema, das uns alle angeht. Sie erortern die Einzigartigkeit des Menschen und den Widerstreit von Schopfung und Evolution. Sie fuhren ein in die fantastische Welt der Literatur? von Shelleys Frankenstein bis zum Sandmann von E.T.A. Hoffmann. Sie berichten von Cyborgs und Robotern. Der gro?e B ...
Dioxine machen immer wieder Schlagzeilen. Um wirklich verla?liche Aussagen uber die Risiken fur Mensch und Umwelt machen zu konnen, ist eine solide Kenntnis der Chemie,der Analytik und des Vorkommens dieser Stoffklasse unverzichtbar. Alle wichtigen Informationen uber Dioxine und ihre Bestimmung sind in diesem Handbuch zusammengefa?t. Die Bildung der Dioxine (Sammelbegriff fur die 210 moglichen polychlorierten Dibenzo-p-dioxine und Dibenzofurane) ...
This book provides an overview of bioinspired metal-sulfur catalysis by covering structures, activities and model complexes of enzymes exhibiting metal sulphur moieties in their active center. ...
This book addresses both multi robot systems and miniaturization to the nanoscale from a unifying point of view, but without leaving aside typical particularities of either. The unifying aspect is based on the concept of information minimization whose precise formulation is the Haken-Levi-principle. The authors introduce basic concepts of multi-component self-organizing systems such as order parameters (well known from equilibrium and non-equili ...
Presenting boundary conditions for the economic and environmental utilization of geothermal technology, this is the first book to provide basic knowledge on the topic in such detail. The editor is the coordinator of the European Geothermic Research Initiative, while the authors are experts for the various geological situations in Europe with high temperature reservoirs in shallow and deep horizons. With its perspectives for R&D in geothermic tec ...
Edited by two very well-known and respected scientists in the field, this excellent practical guide is the first to cover the fundamentals and a wide range of applications, as well as showing readers how to efficiently use this increasingly important technique. From the contents: * The Isotopic Composition of the Elements * Single-Collector ICP-MS * Multi-Collector ICP-MS * Advances in Laser Ablation – Multi-Collector ICP-MS * Correction for Ins ...
Blood Science is a relatively new discipline which merges biochemistry, haematology, immunology, transfusion science and genetics. This bringing together of traditional disciplines requires a corresponding change in education and training for healthcare scientists and Blood Science: Principles and Pathology is written in response to this emerging need. An introduction to the subject and an overview of the techniques used in blood science are fol ...
A comprehensive review of the state of the art and advances in the field, while also outlining the future potential and development trends of optical imaging and optical metrology, an area of fast growth with numerous applications in nanotechnology and nanophysics. Written by the world's leading experts in the field, it fills the gap in the current literature by bridging the fields of optical imaging and metrology, and is the only up-to-date res ...
