“…Whereas in the past, research was largely oriented at external perspectives and perceptions, at present we witness an increasing interest in viewpoints internal to the island societies examined (with an ‘inside-out’ approach). …”

“…Development of new and noble efficient technology is pointing researchers toward the safe, facile, non-toxic, eco-friendly route of synthesis-to-applications, which can be used for manufacture at a large scale. This book presents an overview of the current photocatalyst fundamental theory, substantial applications, and use of the research worldwide. …”

“…Due to deforestation, half of the earth's vegetation surface has reduced to one-third, resulting in large degraded areas. The significant reduction of the forest areas requires appropriate planning for sustainable management of the forests. …”

“…During the past 100 years, a large number of new materials have been developed, which provide us with various tools, wares, clothes, etc. with good properties but low weight and low cost. …”

“…Seaweed remains the most abundant source of polysaccharides, but recent advances in biotechnology have allowed the production of large quantities of polysaccharides from a variety of micro-algae, by controlling growth conditions and tailoring the production of bioactive compounds in a bioreactor. …”

“…More than half of this amount is attributable to atmospheric corrosion. A large amount of scientific and technical literature has been published in the field of atmospheric corrosion, and numerous books and many general treatises have focused on this topic. …”

“…The study ventures into a topic that has been so far largely neglected in film studies: the 'gypsy' phantasm on the big screen. …”

“…This research is owed largely to the individual experiences, impressions and responses of the occupying forces themselves. …”

“…The main reason behind the compilation of this publication was, therefore, to provide an overview of the field of unconventional medicine in Slovakia, where social science research into medicine has largely been neglected and only limited data exist in relation to medical practices and products, not associated with standard healthcare. …”

“…There are many long and large tunnels with various purposes in the world, especially for highways, railways, water conveyance, and energy production. …”

“…Improving the sunlight utilization efficiency and catalytic activity of photocatalytic nanomaterials is the key problem that restricts the large-scale application of photocatalytic technology. …”

“…The insecticide parathion has been largely banned or restricted throughout the world due to toxicity to wildlife and humans. …”

“…The results from the systematic mapping and assessment show that:1. there are many organisations internationally that conduct systematic reviews of effects of prevention and health promotion interventions within public health or primary health care2. controlled study designs are to a large extent an inclusion criteria in systematic reviews Important public health issues such as tobacco, alcohol, physical activity, and diet were covered in the systematic reviews, along with other themes such as mental health, sexual health, and occupational health…”

“…To this end, this volume analyses the intricate relationship between the natural environment and the adaptation strategies of the pre-Hispanic population, whose physical remains were documented in the form of hydraulic features. A large section of this book discusses the different forms, functions, and the geographic distribution of the published hydraulic features. …”

“…In developing its argument, the book makes a methodological intervention on the sort of naturalism that guides both Latour's work and a large part of the academic field called 'science and religion'. …”

“…It examines a panoply of graphic evidence found on stone surfaces, supplying an unprecedented view of the long-term development of culture and religion on a large swathe of the Tibetan Plateau. The pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (rock carvings),host sites, and descriptions and analyses presented are the direct result of intensive fieldwork conducted by the author in Upper Tibet between 1995 and 2016. …”

“…Written by leading industry experts, chapter authors explore managing big data in processing information and helping in decision-making, including mathematical and optimization techniques for dealing with large amounts of data in short periods. Focuses on recent research in mathematics applications for Industry 4.0 Provides insights on international and transnational scales Identifies mathematics knowledge gaps for Industry 4.0 Describes fruitful areas for further research in industrial mathematics, including forthcoming international studies and research…”

“…The site of Warren Field in Scotland revealed two unusual and enigmatic features; an alignment of pits and a large, rectangular feature interpreted as a timber building. …”

“…However, critical voices point out that the current status of the discussion is characterized by a large number of different approaches, some of which differ only marginally. …”
