The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) establishes most private-sector workers' rights to unionise and collectively bargain over wages, benefits, and working conditions. Enacted in 1935, the NLRA also permits collective bargaining contracts between employers and labour organisations that require every individual covered by the collective bargaining contract to pay dues to the negotiating labour organisation. These contract provisions are know...

Phylogeography is the study of the historical processes that may be responsible for the contemporary geographic distributions of individuals. This is accomplished by considering the geographic distribution of individuals in light of the patterns associated with a gene genealogy. This term was introduced to describe geographically structured genetic signals within and among species. An explicit focus on a species' biogeography/biogeographical p...

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the practices, methods and challenges of patient education and patient management. Topics discussed in this compilation include the management of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, taking care of patients with brain tumour-related epilepsy, optimisation of blood and blood products utilisation, using entertainment-education in HIV-prevention targeting adolescents, the challenges o...

This book presents current research in the study of the climate, biodiversity and ecological significance of savannas. Topics include central pivot fertigation for coffee plants in the Brazilian savannah, litter decomposition and nutrient release in the Miombo Savannah woodlands of Central Zimbabwe, enhancing the contributions of indigenous tree species in tackling prevailing environmental challenges in the African savannas, aerial census of e...

Virtual environments simulate a physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. In this book, the authors discuss the new developments, applications and ...

The Arctic region faces growing economic, environmental, and cultural challenges, heightening the need for co-ordinated research across institutional and national borders. The Arctic environment is undergoing rapid transition as sea and land ice diminish, with tremendous implications for natural environments, human well-being, national security, transportation, and economic development. Notably, the Arctic's central role in environmental chang...

Molecular Biology has proved to be one of the more fruitful technological approaches to science, being both very powerful and able to generate valuable intellectual property. This book aims to present examples in the application of molecular biology and genetic engineering in bacteriology. The book discusses the diverse roles of bacteria in ecosystems and it gives significant contributions from biotechnology approaches.

The serotonergic and circadian systems constitute two of the main regulatory signalling networks of the brain. Each of them consists of a highly localised neuronal population that exerts a widespread influence on multiple cognitive, behavioural, physiological and molecular functions. In this book, the authors discuss the evolution, functions and roles in disease of the serotonergic system. Topics include interactions of the serotonergic and ci...

The placenta plays an essential role in childbirth. It becomes disposable after the baby is born which makes it the only organ in the human body that serves a vital function and then becomes obsolete. It is an extremely complex piece of biological equipment which allows the mother's and the baby's blood to come into very close contact, without mixing, to supply nutrients and oxygen to the baby, and move waste products like carbon dioxide back ...

In this book, the authors gather and present current research in the study of the technological systems, management practices and environmental impact of recycling.
