“…It renders contemporary the ancient jurisprudential meaning of critique as krisis, in which a tear in the fabric of justice becomes the occasion of a public sifting or thoughtfulness, the development of criteria for judgment, and the inauguration of political renewal or restoration. …”

“…We are glad to have made even a small contribution to the growing debate on green and soft issues, such as those contained in this book…”

“…Indeed, microwave techniques allow, in principle, for information to be obtained directly regarding the physical parameters of the inspected targets (dielectric properties, shape, etc.) by using safe electromagnetic radiations and cost-effective systems. …”

“…Polymerized nanoparticles and nanofibers can be prepared using various processes, such as chemical synthesis, the electrochemical method, electrospinning, ultrasonic irradiation, hard and soft templates, seeding polymerization, interfacial polymerization, and plasma polymerization. …”

“…Using cutting-edge pedagogy and real-life examples, Environmental Management discusses how organizations can pursue sustainable development while ensuring that the environment remains safe for the future generations. Students and practitioners will find the comprehensive and example-oriented treatment of the subject adopted in this book stimulating and rewarding…”

“…Rao has written extensively on the characteristics of leaders, leadership styles and soft leadership so why another book on leadership? …”

“…Next, computation and modeling trends are covered, along with chapters on structural static and vibration problems, heat conduction and diffusion problems, and fluid dynamics problems. Soft computing and machine intelligence based modeling are also discussed, along with bio medical problems. …”

“…In order to enrich the knowledge on beneficial and adverse effects of fungicides this book encompasses various aspects of the fungicides including fungicide resistance, mode of action, management fungal pathogens and defense mechanisms, ill effects of fungicides interfering the endocrine system, combined application of various fungicides and the need of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) fungicides. This volume will be useful source of information on fungicides for post graduate students, researchers, agriculturists, environmentalists and decision makers…”

“…The relationship of bone formation and biomaterials with dental implants is the key factor in bringing back the full reconstruction of soft and hard tissues. Additionally, the type of materials used for implant development are extremely important, especially in relation to strength and bending forces. …”

“…It will help you reach the goal of getting on an even keel-and staying there. You'll learn how to: harness stress so it spurs, not hinders, productivity; create realistic and manageable routines; aim for progress, not perfection; make the case for a flexible schedule; ease the physical tension of spending too much time at your computer; and renew yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally…”

“…A significant proportion of this investment shortfall is attributable to soft demand conditions (the accelerator effect) but financial factors and heightened uncertainty have also played a role. …”

“…Thorough preparation and planning is key for the success of global decommissioning and dismantling projects, both to minimise delays and undue costs and to ensure a safe and efficient decommissioning process. The aim of this report is to inform regulatory bodies, policy makers and planners about the relevant aspects and activities that should begin during the last years of operation and following the end of operation. …”

“…Electron and positron histories are generated on the basis of a mixed procedure, which combines detailed simulation of hard events with condensed simulation of soft interactions. A geometry package called PENGEOM permits the generation of random electron-photon showers in material systems consisting of homogeneous bodies limited by quadric surfaces, i.e., planes, spheres, cylinders, cones, etc. …”

“…Alternative strategies to restore profitability and stay afloat in the global competition arena are consolidation and branching overseas. …”

“…Information is incorporated from both ‘soft’ indicators, such as business surveys, and ‘hard’ indicators, such as industrial production and retail sales, and use is made of different frequencies of data and a variety of estimation techniques. …”

Tabla de Contenidos: “…What the data and evidence say about skills and innovation -- Developing and using skills for innovation – Policy issues -- Foreword -- What are the skills needed for innovation? …”

“…While there is little official support in Japan for the creation of any formal regional integration scheme, there is evidence of Japanese behaviour leading to what can be termed soft regionalisation with Japan as the dominant actor. …”

“…Materials performance is critical to the safe and economic operation of any nuclear system. …”
