Membrane based processes have found a widespread application in all areas of industry ranging from separation processes, hybrid processes where separation is coupled with other unit operations, to the use of membranes on emulsification or controlled drug release. To continuously improve the performance of membrane based processes, there is a need to understand the phenomena occurring in the fluid and also within the membrane. Therefore, the us...

Current knowledge about the reaction mechanisms of various metalloenzymes and catalysts demonstrates that substrate conversions occurring at the metal center are controlled by secondary interactions. Such secondary interactions comprise all properties within the ligands of a coordination compound -- yet outside of the first coordination sphere -- which influence the reaction profile at the metal center. Direct utilization of the variable "seco...

Today, arylation methods belong to the most important reaction types in organic synthesis. The editor has gathered a number of top international authors to present the first comprehensive book on the topic. Starting from a historical review, the book covers various hot topics, such as palladium- or copper-catalyzed arylations of amines, alcohols and alpha-C-H-acidic compounds, catalytic direct Arylation reactions, as well as arylations of alke...

In his new book, Norman Simms re-defines the study of two often misunderstood religious groups. The first are Marranos who claim descent from the persecuted Spanish Jews forced to convert to Catholicism, yet who nevertheless continued to practice Jewish rituals secretly. The other group consists of the Penitentes, a Catholic group accused of violent acts of self-flagellation and other forms of masochism. Examining both groups through rabbinics...

In 1994, the most Christianized country in Africa became the site of its worst genocide. The tragedy was in Rwanda, but what happened was a mirror reflecting the deep brokenness of the church in the West. Yet by looking at what happened and why, we can find hope for the global body of Christ.

This is the first global history of natural catastrophes. It brings together some of the best scholars from different continents and different disciplines to discuss human responses to natural catastrophes.

In the debate on the enforcement of competition law, many take the view that Europe should avoid the traps US law has fallen into by admitting excessive litigation. European law should not pave the way for judicial proceedings which ultimately serve the interests of lawyers or other agents rather than injured parties. This inquiry describes the state of remedies in competition law in fifteen European countries, analyses the underlying determin...

Presents a modern treatment of the theory of theta functions in the context of algebraic geometry.

For the first time, this book addresses many of the issues that are fundamental to an understanding of the real role of recreational hunting in conservation and rural development. It examines the key issues, asks the difficult questions, and seeks to present the answers to guide policy. Where the answers are not available, it highlights gaps in our knowledge and lays out the research agenda for the next decade.
