Описание: In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legions of English citizens headed north. Why and how did Scotland, once avoided by travelers, become a popular site for English tourists? Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of a false view of Scotland as untouched by nineteenth-century transformations.

Описание: The inelastic response and residual mechanical properties acquired from most shock compressed solids are quite different from those acquired from quasi-static or moderate strain rates. For instance, the residual hardness of many shock compressed metals has been found to be considerably lower than those loaded under quasi-static conditions to the same maximum stress. However, the residual hardness of shock compressed metals is much higher than those loaded quasi-statically to the same total strain. These observations suggest that the deformation mechanisms active during inelastic deformation under shock compression and quasi-static or moderate rates may be quite different. Therefore, the primary objective of this short book is to offer the reader a concise introduction on the Structure-Property Relationships concerning shock compressed metals and metallic alloys via shock recovery experiments. The first phase of the book, chapters 1 through 3 provides a brief historical perspective on the structure-property relationships as it pertains to shock compression science, then plastic deformation in shock compressed metals and metallic alloys is described in terms of deformation slip, deformation twinning, and their consequences to spall failure. Existing knowledge gaps and limitations on shock recovery experiments are also discussed. The fundamentals of shock wave propagation in condensed media are presented through the formation and stability of shock waves, then how they are treated using the Rankine-Hugoniot jump relations derived from the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The equation of states which govern the thermodynamic transition of a material from the unshock state to the shock state is briefly described and the elastic-plastic behavior of shock compressed solids is presented at the back end of the first phase of this book. The second phase of the book describes the geometry and design of shock recovery experiments using explosives, gas and powder guns. Then results derived from the residual mechanical properties, microstructure changes, and spall failure mechanisms in shock compressed metals and metallic alloys with FCC, BCC, and HCP crystal lattice structures are presented. Also, results on the residual microstructure of explosively compacted powders and powder mixtures are presented. Lastly, the book closes with the new frontiers in shock recovery experiments based on novel materials, novel microscopes, novel mechanical processing techniques, and novel time-resolved in-situ XRD shock experiments.

Описание: Chemical herbicides are widely used in food production throughout the world. At the present time, they represent approximately 40% of chemical products sales, followed by insecticides, fungicides, and other types of pesticides. Among these products, commercial formulations based on N-phosphonomethyl-glycine (PMG), commonly known as glyphosate, are the most used worldwide. Such herbicidal formulations play a key role in promoting crop yields. In Glyphosate: Chemistry, Uses and Safety Concerns review information on the presence of glyphosate-based herbicides in the environment, their potentially harmful effects, their influence on soil microbial communities and their capacity to adsorb to clay particles (which affects their environmental availability). The objective of the following work was to investigate the best way to achieve slow release of glyphosate using layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to minimize the environmental impacts of this herbicide. LDHs are also called anionic clays because they can host negatively charged species between their layers. They are best stabilized by anions with high charge density, such as carbonate. Understanding the release dynamics of glyphosate in homogeneous solutions of anions that are commonly found in the soil is important, since many crops require prior soil correction, altering the pH and also the availability of anions. In one study, the chelating capacity, coordination modes and structural chemistry of glyphosate with Ni (II) cations were investigated in solution and in the solid state. Glyphosate was purified from commercial Roundup WG (Monsanto), and characterized by 31P NMR, FTIR and melting point. The nickel complexes were prepared from Ni(NO3)2 solutions at pH = 8.0 and 4.0, and characterized by solid-state infrared spectroscopy (4000-150 cm-1) and elemental analysis (CHN). The solids were also studied by thermal analysis and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) using synchrotron radiation (LNLS, Brazil). Studies show that glyphosate has an oral absorption of 20 to 40% and is considered to be of low toxicity to mammals; however, recent research has shown that it can induce serious damage to mammalian cells. The authors examine suggested mechanisms of toxicity, including the blocking of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, inhibition of cytochrome p450 activity, inhibition of intestinal arylhydrocarbohydroxylase activity, changes in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, DNA damage, hormonal changes, channel openings of calcium, and neurotoxicity involving NMDA receptor activation. The widespread and frequent use of glyphosate has increased concern about potential adverse effects on human health. Due to more stringent legislation on wastewater discharge and purity of drinking water, the authors discuss the development of an effective remediation technology for the decontamination of glyphosate. Although glyphosate residues can efficiently be removed by advanced technologies, the treatments are usually expensive and difficult to maintain. Therefore, different methods and options should be considered.

Описание: The majority of meat, milk, and eggs consumed in the United States are produced in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO). With concentrated animal operations, in turn comes concentrated manure accumulation, which can pose a threat of contamination of air, soil, and water if improperly managed. Animal Manure: Production, Characteristics, Environmental Concerns, and Management navigates these important environmental concerns while detailing opportunities for environmentally and economically beneficial utilization.
