Mercury Pollution A Transdisciplinary Treatment

Mercury Pollution A Transdisciplinary Treatment

How does mercury get out of the ground and into our food? Is tuna safe to eat? What was the Minamata Disaster? Mercury Pollution: A Transdisciplinary Treatment addresses these questions and more. The editors weave interdisciplinary threads into a tapestry that presents a more complete picture of the effects of mercury pollution and provides new ways to think about the environment. The remarkable features that make mercury so useful—and poisonous—have given rise to many stories laid out in rich objective detail carefully detailing medical epidemiological or historical insight but sidestepping the human experience. A technically rich book that only touches on the human consequences of mercury poisoning cannot fully portray the anguish confusion and painful deaths that are the consequence of mercury pollution. Therefore the editors purposely step out of the conventional scientific framework for discussing mercury pollution to explore the wider human experience. This book clarifies how we are all connected to mercury how we absorb it through the food we eat and the air we breathe and how we release it as a consequence of our new technologies. It tackles interesting environmental issues without being overly technical and uses mercury as a case study and model for studying environmental problems. The book uses discussions of the issues surrounding mercury pollution to illustrate how an interdisciplinary vantage is necessary to solve environmental problems.

Peatland Biogeochemistry and Watershed Hydrology at the Marcell Experimental Forest

Peatland Biogeochemistry and Watershed Hydrology at the Marcell Experimental Forest

The Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Minnesota serves as a living laboratory and provides scientists with a fundamental understanding of peatland hydrology acid rain impacts nutrient and carbon cycling trace gas emissions and controls on mercury transport in boreal watersheds. Its important role in scientific research continues to grow as the data gathered offers invaluable insight into environmental changes over the last century and goes far in answering many of today’s pressing questions at landscape and global scales. Synthesizing five decades of research Peatland Biogeochemistry and Watershed Hydrology at the Marcell Experimental Forest includes hundreds of research publications dozens of graduate theses and even some previously unpublished studies. Research at the MEF has been at the forefront of many scientific disciplines and these 15 chapters offer the depth and breadth of long-term studies on hydrology biogeochemistry ecology and forest management on peatland watersheds at the MEF. Focusing on peatlands lakes and upland landscapes the book begins with the pioneering research on hydrology done during the 1960s. It presents the innovative 1970’s studies of atmospheric deposition; the 1980’s research into nutrient cycles including carbon nitrogen and methane emissions; and the 1990’s investigations into mercury deposition. The book concludes with a look at the latest and on-going studies such as this century’s research into controls on methylmercury production and landscape-level carbon storage and cycling. Covering 50 years of research and written by a veritable who’s who in peatland and forestry science this important milestone in the collection of ecological data highlights bright prospects for future research including the continuation of existing long-term measurements the initiation of new monitoring programs and plans for unprecedented studies on climate change.

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

This new volume of papers by Julio Sams³ deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi's and al-Battani's tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/ Azarquiel's theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna' and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi Ibn al-Shatir Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and towards the beginning of the 17th century a translation of Abraham Zacut and José Vizinho's Almanach Perpetuum (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves the author also deals with theoretical astronomy (the use of an elliptical deferent for Mercury in Ibn al-Zarqalluh's equatorium and the criticisms of Ibn al-Haytham and Jabir b. Aflah on Ptolemy's determination of the parameters of the same planet) and with the use of zijes for the calculation of horoscopes and an experimental astrological method for the correction of mean motion planetary tables (Ibn Azzuz).

An Introduction to Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology

An Introduction to Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology

An Introduction to Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology is the first concise introduction that lays out the epistemological foundations of evolutionary cognitive archaeology in a way that is accessible to students. The volume is divided into three sections. The first section situates cognitive archaeology in the pantheon of archaeological approaches and distinguishes between ideational cognitive archaeology and evolutionary cognitive archaeology. This is followed by a close look at the nature of cognitive archaeological inferences and concludes with brief summaries of the major methods of evolutionary cognitive archaeology. The second section of the book introduces the reader to a variety of cognitive phenomena that are accessible using the methods of cognitive archaeology: memory technical cognition spatial cognition social cognition art and aesthetics and symbolism and language. The third section presents a brief outline of hominin cognitive evolution from the perspective of evolutionary cognitive archaeology. The authors divide the archaeological record into three major phases: The Bipedal Apes—3. 3 million-1. 7 million years ago; The Axe Age—1. 7 million-300 000 years ago; and The Emergence of Modern Thinking—300 000–12 000 years ago. An Introduction to Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology is an essential text for undergraduate students graduate students and scholars across the behavioral and social sciences interested in learning about cognitive archaeology including psychologists philosophers anthropologists and archaeologists.

Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Wireless networking covers a variety of topics involving many challenges. The main concern of clustering approaches for mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to prolong the battery life of the individual sensors and the network lifetime. For a successful clustering approach the need of a powerful mechanism to safely elect a cluster head remains a challenging task in many research works that take into account the mobility of the network. In Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks: A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety the authors use an approach based on computing of the weight of each node in the network as the proposed technique to deal with this problem. They present a virtual laboratory platform (VLP) of baptized mercury allowing students and researchers to make practical work (PW) on different aspects of mobile wireless sensor networks. The authors’ choice of WSNs is motivated mainly by the use of real experiments needed in most college courses on WSNs. These usual experiments however require an expensive investment and many nodes in the classroom. The platform presented here aims at showing the feasibility the flexibility and the reduced cost using the authors’ approach. The authors demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms that contribute to the familiarization of the learners in the field of WSNs. The book will be a valuable resource for students in networking studies as well as for faculty and researchers in this area. | Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety
