Seeking Sustainable Development on a Level Playing Field A PVC Case Study

Seeking Sustainable Development on a Level Playing Field A PVC Case Study

Back Cover Copy Humans have exploited a huge diversity of materials throughout history. Today’s conflict between rising demands and dwindling resources raises searching questions about how optimally to meet humanity’s needs efficiently and safely challenging common assumptions. Plastics support many facets of modern life yet raise associated problems whilst ‘natural’ materials may be far from benign when inputs extending their longevity are considered. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a plastic with adaptable durable and other properties used in diverse construction medical information technology domestic and many applications besides. However PVC has faced significant NGO pressure relating to its chlorine content and the range of additives conferring desirable properties. Yet unlike organochlorine pesticides PVC plastic is inert and recyclable after providing long service life. This book is not ‘pro-PVC’ but draws on lessons learned from how the PVC value chain particularly across Europe has engaged with problems and made further progress under voluntary commitments to sustainable development. The book advocates a ‘level playing field’ of common sustainability principles for assessment of the benefits and risks of the use of all materials in the context of their incorporation within whole product life cycles from raw material extraction to beyond end-of-life. The use of every material raises specific challenges but also shares common problems arising from society’s legacy of wasteful linear resource use. Activities surrounding the PVC value chain have generated novel ideas assessment techniques and reconsideration of regulatory approaches relevant to sustainability assessment of the use of all materials in the context of whole product life cycles on a common ‘level playing field’ which best supports the meeting of the diversity of human needs in the safest and most efficient manner. This book is aimed at industry regulatory and NGO audiences and influence on wider media. | Seeking Sustainable Development on a Level Playing Field A PVC Case Study

Multiagent Systems Introduction and Coordination Control

Multiagent Systems Introduction and Coordination Control

Multiagent systems (MAS) are one of the most exciting and the fastest growing domains in the intelligent resource management and agent-oriented technology which deals with modeling of autonomous decisions making entities. Recent developments have produced very encouraging results in the novel approach of handling multiplayer interactive systems. In particular the multiagent system approach is adapted to model control manage or test the operations and management of several system applications including multi-vehicles microgrids multi-robots where agents represent individual entities in the network. Each participant is modeled as an autonomous participant with independent strategies and responses to outcomes. They are able to operate autonomously and interact pro-actively with their environment. In recent works the problem of information consensus is addressed where a team of vehicles communicate with each other to agree on key pieces of information that enable them to work together in a coordinated fashion. The problem is challenging because communication channels have limited range and there are possibilities of fading and dropout. The book comprises chapters on synchronization and consensus in multiagent systems. It shows that the joint presentation of synchronization and consensus enables readers to learn about similarities and differences of both concepts. It reviews the cooperative control of multi-agent dynamical systems interconnected by a communication network topology. Using the terminology of cooperative control each system is endowed with its own state variable and dynamics. A fundamental problem in multi-agent dynamical systems on networks is the design of distributed protocols that guarantee consensus or synchronization in the sense that the states of all the systems reach the same value. It is evident from the results that research in multiagent systems offer opportunities for further developments in theoretical simulation and implementations. This book attempts to fill this gap and aims at presenting a comprehensive volume that documents theoretical aspects and practical applications. | Multiagent Systems Introduction and Coordination Control

This book features a wholly new line-up of investigators experienced professionals in the field who delve into the soft skills that make an investigator effective. Each chapter examines a specific quality required to be a professional thorough and—most importantly—successful in this challenging discipline. The editors and contributing authors are all top in their field and bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience to the subject. While several publications exist on the procedures and steps of an investigation few books cover the creative and intuitive skills required. Such traits are necessary to continually question in the face of investigative roadblocks unique qualities endemic to an inquisitive mind that can be trained to improve an investigator’s professional skill set. Each chapter discusses the applicability of the traits and requirements to the contributor’s own work and experience as an investigator. In doing so the contributors will provide valuable stories from their personal experience which demonstrates their use or a given trait and its importance in the course of their investigative work and career. The case examples included throughout are engaging and as is often the case surprising. An investigator must keep an open mind above all else and this book seeks to lift the veil on the inner workings of an investigation and the thought pro- cess and inner monologue of an investigator as part of that process. The book is a welcome addition to any investigator’s toolkit and is also of interest to students in criminal justice security and Homeland Security programs security consultants corporate and private security professionals and the legal community. | The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases

The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes that provides a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students instructors and researchers. Ion channels are mem- brane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; medi- ate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light sound odor and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excitable tissues ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness heart disease anesthesia pain and other clinical appli- cations. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. Volume III includes coverage of key ion channel regulators and their mechanisms the role of ion channels working in concert in selected physiological systems and examples of ion channel mutations and dysfunction in a selection of diseases. Chapters on ion channel regulation include splice variants calcium–calmodulin regulation regulation by G pro- teins and lipids. A selection of ion channels in physiological systems includes ion chan- nels of the heart ion channels in immune cells and their role in pancreatic beta cells and regulation of insulin secretion and the role of channels in sperm and eggs. While disease mechanisms are integrated into the chapters of Volume II Volume III offers special consid- eration of ion channels in epilepsy cystic fibrosis and pain syndromes. All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research offer a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families and includecoverage of key examples of regulatory physiological and disease roles for ion channels. | Textbook of Ion Channels Volume III Regulation Physiology and Diseases
