Noch mehr Experimente mit Supermarktprodukten: Das Periodensystem als Wegweiser
By Georg Schwedt. 2012
Hollenstein und Borax! Das klingt ja wie ein Hexenspruch - hat Chemie etwa mit Zauberei zu tun? Wer wei? schon,…
welche Geheimnisse hinter Rote-Beete-Saft und pH-Indikator steckt? Georg Schwedt erklart es muhelos Lehrern, Schulern, Studienanfangern und allen anderen, die es wissen wollen. Erstaunlich, wie viel einpragsamer das Lernen und Begreifen ist, wenn man mit Alltagsgegenstanden und Haushaltsmitteln spannende aber gefahrlose Experimente durchfuhren kann! Im Unterschied zu Georg Schwedts erfolgreichem, nunmehr in dritter Auflage vorliegenden Buch "Experimente mit Supermarktprodukten" sind die Versuche hier nicht anhand einer chemischen Warenkunde strukturiert, sondern orientieren sich an der Ordnung des Periodensystems der chemischen Elemente - vom Wasserstoff hin zu den Halogenen. Mit handelsublichen Supermarktprodukten und ein paar gewohnlichen Reagenzien sind alle Versuche durchzufuhren. Die Rezepturen sind an das aktuelle Angebot der Supermarkte angepasst. Also, kann's doch gleich losgehen, oder?Phytopharmacy: An Evidence-Based Guide to Herbal Medicinal Products
By Michael Heinrich, Elizabeth M. Williamson, Sarah E. Edwards, Ines da Costa Rocha. 2013
Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and…
food supplements. While taking responsibility for one’s own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to patients, yet a number of studies have shown that, generally, conventionally trained health practitioners consider their knowledge about herbal medicinal products and supplements to be weak. Phytopharmacy fills this knowledge gap, and is intended for use by the busy pharmacist, nurse, or doctor, as well as the ‘expert patient’ and students of pharmacy and herbal medicine. It presents clear, practical and concise monographs on over a hundred popular herbal medicines and plant-based food supplements. Information provided in each monograph includes: • Indications• Summary and appraisal of clinical and pre-clinical evidence• Potential interactions• Contraindications• Possible adverse effectsAn overview of the current regulatory framework is also outlined, notably the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive. This stipulates that only licensed products or registered traditional herbal medicinal products (THRs), which have assured quality and safety, can now legally be sold OTC. Monographs are included of most of the major herbal ingredients found in THRs, and also some plant-basedfood supplements, which while not strictly medicines, may also have the potential to exert a physiological effect.Betriebsplanung im öffentlichen Personennahverkehr: Ziele, Methoden, Konzepte (VDI-Buch)

By Poul M.F. Nielsen, Karol Miller, Adam Wittek, Barry J. Doyle, Grand Joldes. 2010
Mathematical modelling and computer simulation have proved tremendously successful in engineering. One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to…
extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their techniques to computer-integrated medicine. For example, continuum mechanics models provide a rational basis for analysing biomedical images by constraining the solution to biologically reasonable motions and processes. Biomechanical modelling can also provide clinically important information about the physical status of the underlying biology, integrating information across molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. The main goal of this workshop is to showcase the clinical and scientific utility of computational biomechanics in computer-integrated medicine.Gefahrstoffe: Das Praxishandbuch für das Umgangs- und Umweltrecht

By Ana Duarte Rodrigues, Carmen Toribio Marín. 2020
This volume approaches the history of water in the Iberian Peninsula in a novel way, by linking it to the…
ongoing international debate on water crisis and solutions to overcome the lack of water in the Mediterranean.What water devices were found? What were the models for these devices? How were they distributed in the villas and monastic enclosures? What impact did hydraulic theoretical knowledge have on these water systems, and how could these systems impact on hydraulic technology? Guided by these questions, this book covers the history of water in the most significant cities, the role of water in landscape transformation, the irrigation systems and water devices in gardens and villas, and, lastly, the theoretical and educational background on water management and hydraulics in the Iberian Peninsula between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries.Historiography on water management in the territory that is today Spain has highlighted the region’s role as a mediator between the Islamic masters of water and the Christian world. The history of water in Portugal is less known, and it has been taken for granted that is similar to its neighbour. This book compares two countries that have the same historical roots and, therefore, many similar stories, but at the same time, offers insights into particular aspects of each country. It is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in any field of history of the early modern period and of the nineteenth century, as well as general readers interested in studies on the Iberian Peninsula, since it was the role model for many settlements in South America, Asia and Africa.High-Speed and Lower Power Technologies: Electronics and Photonics (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)
