components of EU migration policy. It delves into the differences between formal and informal agreements and the factors influencing return rates, critically assessing the ‘effectiveness’ of cooperation in this contentious policy field. Through a comparative analysis of 57 non-EU countries, the book enhances our understanding of why certain countries cooperate on readmission and/or return. Countries geographically closer to the EU are more dependent and, thus, conclude readmission agreements more often. For countries in Africa and Asia, EU incentives and pressure play a bigger role and influence the cooperation together with domestic administrative capacities and bilateral readmission agreements and closer existing relations. Formal or informal readmission cooperation has a limited impact on return rates with non-EU countries beyond the Eastern neighbourhood. This comprehensive work is an essential reading for academics, policymakers, and policy advocates interested in EU external migration cooperation and the broader dynamics of international migration policy.

The invention of Mauveine by Perkin in 1856 led to a revolution in the world of textile dyeing. In the…
second half of the 19th century, natural dyes were quickly replaced by newly developed synthetic dyes which resulted in a bright palette of colours. The synthetic dyes were not only cheaper to produce, but also easier to apply on textiles due to new dyeing mechanisms. As a result, production costs decreased tremendously and brilliantly dyed textiles became available to the larger public. The introduction of synthetic dyes had a strong impact in fashion; in addition, these colourants were also used as stains on furniture, as inks and in paints. In this publication, the development of these vivid colourants is presented. It brings together information about the history of synthetic dyes, including the first attempts, the so-called semi-synthetic dyes, and presenting the most relevant dyes and dye classes, such as nitro dyes, tri-arylmethanes, azo dyes, xanthenes, sulfur dyes, synthetic alizarin and synthetic indigo. It contains a wealth of information regarding the numerous synonyms, trade names, manufacturers and patents. International trade and competition, which was fierce, are discussed. The chemistry behind the synthetic dyeing is explained, including new dyeing technologies developed. The application of dyes and their fastness properties are also presented. An overview of analytical techniques used for characterisation is given. Many case studies are included, expressing the importance of the dyes and the creativity of mankind when applying these colourants. As such, this publication can be seen as a colourful journey through history, relevant for conservators, curators, historians, chemists and all who are interested in the history and development of synthetic dyes.

to help students achieve a more thorough understanding of the subject. In the 1st edition, superconductivity was emphasized, a focus that continued in the 2nd edition, which strengthened the E-B analogy by comparing equipotential surfaces in electricity to equivector potential surfaces in magnetism. The 3rd edition introduces the concept of mean magnetic flux, which aids in determining inductance from magnetic energy. It also demonstrates how vector potential can be directly used to calculate electromotive force. A unique phenomenon is presented when applying current to a superconducting transmission line, where the induced electric field's vector potential is perpendicular to the current. This deviation from common equations can still be explained through Maxwell&’s theory, leading to the correct solution. For a more in-depth grasp of electricity and magnetism, students are encouraged to use Exercises in Electricity and Magnetism by the same author, which offers 400 practice problems. This textbook is ideal for advanced students of physics, astrophysics, or engineering, as well as a valuable reference for professional scientists.

Nothing is possible without the nose! We breathe, smell and taste with it. Smells warn us of dangers, and scents…
can awaken memories and feelings. All without including the mind. The nose decides who we find seductive or who we simply can't smell. We often only realize how important smell is when illnesses like corona rob us of this sense. Everyone's scent preferences are individual. Just like our own scent, which sends out messages and helps us find a partner. The exciting thing is: We don't just perceive these messages with our nose; scents have an effect on the whole body. As the latest scientific research has shown, they can also accelerate the healing of wounds, change the heartbeat and improve hair growth and digestion. They also influence the brain: we may become calmer or more active. Even tumor cells react to scents and reduce their growth. Conversely, tumor cells themselves emit odorous substances, which trained dogs can recognize. This book is a translation of the original German edition “Die Lust am Duft” by Hanns Hatt and Regine Dee, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE in 2023. The translation was done with the help of an artificial intelligence machine translation tool. The authors subsequently revised and added new content, and the text was copy-edited to enhance its style.

state two centuries ago to the present day. It focuses on the benefits and challenges of Greece&’s economic dependence on the larger and higher income countries of Western Europe, and in particular the European Union, have played in its economic development. The volume begins by examining Greece&’s links to Europe in the 19th century and its desultory participation in the Latin Monetary Union. Its main focus is the post- World War II period, starting with Greece&’s efforts to establish sustainable economic growth, at a time when the country was facing severe foreign exchange constraints and relied on assistance from the US under the Marshall Plan. It then examines relations between Greece and the European Community, particularly on its efforts to integrate into the European Union, the debt crisis and the reforms and recovery in its aftermath. The book details in accessible and engaging style how the story of Greece&’s economic integration in Europe has involved both successful development but also failures by Greek, Eurozone and IMF policymakers. With valuable historical insights, this book will be of interest to academics and policymakers in Greece, the EU and emerging economies weighing economic integration. It will also be of interest to economic historians and political economists more broadly.
