Break Bulk and Cargo Management

Break Bulk and Cargo Management

This book covers the subjects of break bulk cargo general cargo and project cargo and how these cargoes are shipped. It deals with the cargoes themselves the vessels used for their carriage and how the carriage is managed using the process of vessel chartering. Alongside these it also covers offshore vessel management and how offshore supply vessels are used to carry cargoes to offshore oil and gas installations. Break bulk cargo covers a wide variety of cargoes from project cargo to more varied cargoes carried on an ad hoc basis often between ports that are not equipped for container traffic. It also covers the carriage of specific cargoes that cannot fit inside or are unsuitable for containers. This includes the carriage of cargoes for major projects and cargoes for the offshore sector which is an area covered in a specific section in the book concerning the use of offshore supply vessels. To date only minor elements of shipping books cover this kind of trade hence the need for a new book that specifically covers this subject. The focus of this book is providing expert insights and detailed explanations of the practical issues related to all aspects of break bulk and general cargo management. The book is written for legal practitioners shipping managers managers of project cargo oil and gas companies shipping professionals charterers shipbrokers shippers and anybody else involved in ad hoc vessel chartering for the carriage of break bulk general and project cargoes. It will also serve as a valuable resource for students of shipping. | Break Bulk and Cargo Management

Agricultural Biocatalysis Biological and Chemical Applications

Agricultural Biocatalysis Biological and Chemical Applications

Agricultural biocatalysis is of immense scientific interest nowadays owing to its increasing importance in the efforts for more sustainable agriculture while optimizing environmental impacts. Plant compatibility is essential for developing eco-friendly and sustainable microbial products. Therefore our search for novel technologies ought to be in the foreground for which a thorough understanding of biochemical processes applications of agricultural enzymes traits and viruses should get the highest priority. Volumes 8 to 10 in this series compile the recent research on agricultural biocatalysis by interdisciplinary teams from international institutes for chemistry biochemistry biotechnology and materials and chemical engineering who have been investigating agricultural-biocatalytic topics related to biochemical conversions or bioremediation and modern biological and chemical applications exemplified by the use of selected and highly innovative agricultural enzymes traits and viruses. The editors are prominent researchers in agrochemistry and theoretical biophysical chemistry and these three volumes are useful references for the students and researchers in the fields of agrochemistry biochemistry biology biophysical chemistry natural product chemistry materials and drug design. Volume 10 covers the research on biological control plant uptake and plant growth aspects plant stress including genome editing in plants and selected agrochemical classes as well as the importance of modern chiral agrochemicals. | Agricultural Biocatalysis Biological and Chemical Applications

The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood

The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood

As fast-evolving technologies transform everyday communication and literacy practices many young children find themselves immersed in multiple digital media from birth. Such rapid technological change has consequences for the development of early literacy and the ways in which parents and educators are able to equip today’s young citizens for a digital future. This seminal Handbook fulfils an urgent need to consider how digital technologies are impacting the lives and learning of young children; and how childhood experiences of using digital resources can serve as the foundation for present and future development. Considering children aged 0–8 years chapters explore the diversity of young children’s literacy skills practices and expertise across digital tools technologies and media in varied contexts settings and countries. The Handbook explores six significant areas: Part I presents an overview of research into young children’s digital literacy practices touching on a range of theoretical methodological and ethical approaches. Part II considers young children’s reading writing and meaning-making when using digital media at home and in the wider community. Part III offers an overview of key challenges for early childhood education presented by digital literacy and discusses political positioning and curricula. Part IV focuses on the multimodal and multi-sensory textual landscape of contemporary literary practices and how children learn to read and write with and across media. Part V considers how digital technologies both influence and are influenced by children’s online and offline social relationships. Part VI draws together themes from across the Handbook to propose an agenda for future research into digital literacies in early childhood. A timely resource identifying and exploring pedagogies designed to bolster young children’s digital and multimodal literacy practices this key text will be of interest to early childhood educators researchers and policy-makers. | The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood
