Metal Toxicology Handbook

Metal Toxicology Handbook

Heavy metals and metalloids singly or in combination induce toxic manifestations either through acute or chronic pathology. In particular long-term chronic exposure to diverse heavy metals and metalloids to humans and animals can lead to numerous physical muscular neurological nephrological and diverse degenerative diseases and dysfunctions including multiple sclerosis muscular dystrophy Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases cardiovascular disorders and several others. Recognized heavy metals such as lead mercury arsenic cadmium thallium and hexavalent chromium are known for enormous toxicity. The immediate vital signs of acute heavy metal exposure include nausea vomiting diarrhea and acute abdominal pain. Mercury has been identified as the most toxic heavy metal and mercury poisoning is known as acrodynia or pink disease. Similarly lead another toxic heavy metal was at one time an integral part of painting. Metal Toxicology Handbook further explains and discusses the varying attributes of metals discussing toxicity safety and proper human utilization of metals.

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

Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

This book is devoted to amaranth a plant to which 45 species are indigenous to the Mesoamerican region and 10 others originated in Africa Asia and Europe. Amaranth was the foundation of the extensive North and South American ancient civilizations and is still important in the agriculture of more recent Indian cultures. However this plant nearly disappeared after the Spanish conquest. In view of the outstanding agronomic performance of the plant and the high nutritional value of the grain it is now becoming an important crop in various regions of the world. Progress in the utilization of amaranth is directly related to scientific and technical information on its biological physical and chemical properties. Amaranth: Biology Chemistry and Technology begins with a chapter on the use of tissue culture molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques for crop improvement. The next few chapters deal with classical genetics traditional plant breeding and plant physiology. Following chapters review the properties of storage and leaf proteins carbohydrates (especially starch) and seed oil. The potential of amaranth for new food products and popping is discussed and commercialization and marketing of amaranth and its products are described. The book also emphasizes the outstanding nutritional properties of amaranth. | Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

Aviation Design and Innovation

Aviation Design and Innovation

In order to facilitate the safe efficient and cost effective exchange of passengers and cargo between ground and sky airports require the provision of adequate runways aircraft manoeuvring areas cargo sheds and passenger processing facilities. Airports are capital intensive facilities and planning errors which result in the over or under-provision of capacity are both costly and problematic to rectify and so understanding the optimal configuration of passenger terminals is paramount. Of course the design of passenger terminal buildings is influenced not only by levels of demand the commercial requirements of airlines and tenant companies the availability of investment funds and political influence but also by the aircraft that will be using the facility both now and in the future. Indeed the introduction of the first generation of passenger jets in the 1950s and higher-capacity wide-bodied aircraft in the late 1960s required not only the expansion of gate areas and passenger processing facilities but also the introduction of new technologies such as the travelator the baggage reclaim carousel and the airbridge. The introduction of the A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ into revenue passenger service in 2007 similarly demanded a reconfiguration of the airports it serves and practitioners need to be cognisant of the options for accommodating a new generation of large aircraft. While large aircraft generally require a lengthy turn around period between flights and the extensive provision of expensive fixed ground support infrastructure low cost carriers pursue a business model based on very short turnarounds and minimal use of airport infrastructure assets such as airbridges. One of the main challenges facing airport operators is how to accommodate the diverse and dynamic requirements of different operators and these issues are addressed in this Volume. Traditionally aircraft were made and manufactured by small companies within one country but as costs have increased and technology has become more sophisticated a relatively small number of manufacturers which are supported by international supply chains have come to dominate the commercial aircraft market. Originally all aviation jet fuels were derived from crude oil. However concerns about future oil supply and energy security combined with the need to improve aviation’s environmental performance and sustainability has driven the development of alternative fuel sources. However the development and adoption of alternative aviation fuels is not straightforward and the Volume examines the opportunities and challenges of widespread biofuel adoption in terms of production capacity emissions reductions cost and commercial viability. The final essays in this Volume address business model innovation in the airline and airport sector and include considerations of the future evolution of low cost carriers the potential for airline-airport alliances and the development of multi-airport multinational operating companies. | Aviation Design and Innovation
