“…The main focuses of this book are preparation of hydroponic nutrient solution, use of this technique for studying biological aspects and environmental controls, and production of vegetables and ornamentals hydroponically. …”

“…In particular, nine interesting coating works have been collected with specific applications in the plasma treatment of polymers for superhydrophobicity, special coatings for glass glazing modification, non-sticky special inorganic coatings for polymeric surfaces, surfactant-controlled cationic polymer self-assembly from solutions, silicone-modified waterborne acrylic emulsion coatings, coating deamination/degradation resistance to corrosive water immersion, surface texturing of concrete to improve coating adhesion, electrochemical polymeric coatings for surgical implants and outdoor fungal growth mechanisms on various polymeric coatings. …”

“…Export restrictions are maintained to achieve diverse policy objectives, including environmental protection or conservation of natural resources, promotion of downstream processing industries, controlling inflationary pressures, and for fiscal receipts reasons. …”

“…A key aspect of the analysis is that it attempts to assess the role of moral hazard while controlling for the role of liquidity effects. The aggregate results indicate that income support has an important impact on the duration of non-employment. …”

“…As school choice is here to stay, countries should explore choice designs that balance parents’ freedom to choose with equity considerations: this report develops two particular schemes: controlled choice programmes – also called flexible enrolment schemes – and weighted funding formula…”

“…On the one hand, borders are generally more porous and immigration controls more lax, so that assimilation models are not well adapted as many migrants do not stay long enough to adopt local customs. …”

“…Additionally, one of the effects of the economic downturn is a greater emphasis on accountability, transparency, and controls in financial reporting. With easy-to-understand explanations and real-life examples, Financial Accounting For Dummies provides students who are studying business, finance, and accounting with the basic concepts, terminology, and methods to interpret, analyze, and evaluate actual corporate financial statements. …”

“…Each of these gestures communicates information about the avatars themselves and about the interaction choices of the players controlling them. An avatar's movement includes a range of motions, from programmed gaits and postures to the ways in which the avatar moves in and through virtual space as guided by the player. …”
