Contemporary Suitability of Nanobionics in Agriculture: Nanotechnology in Horticultural Crops (Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences)
by Vishnu D. Rajput Arti Goel Ram Prasad Tatiana MinkinaAttempts to apply nanotechnology in agriculture began with the growing realization that conventional farming technologies would neither be able to increase productivity any further nor restore ecosystems damaged by existing technologies back to their pristine state; in particular because the long-term effects of farming with &“miracle seeds&” in conjunction with irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, have been questioned both at the scientific and policy levels and must be gradually phased out. Nanotechnology in agriculture has gained momentum in the last decade with an abundance of public funding, but the pace of development is modest even though many disciplines fall under the umbrella of agriculture. One reason this may be is due to the fact that not much information about the safe use of nanomaterials in agriculture system has been accessible in recent years. "Contemporary Suitability of Nanobionics in Agriculture" provides insight into the uses of nanomaterials in agriculture, which will be of particular use for agriculture personnel & beyond. The book includes an overview of nanobionics in agriculture, while also focusing on specific subjects such as recent advances, future outlook, biosafety & regulatory aspects, etc. Nanotechnologic intervention in farming has bright prospects for improving the efficiency of nutrient use through nanoformulations of fertilizers, breaking yield barriers through bionanotechnology, surveillance and control of pests and diseases, understanding mechanisms of host-parasite interactions at the molecular level, development of new-generation pesticides and their carriers, preservation and packaging of food and food additives, strengthening of natural fibers, removal of contaminants from soil and water, improving the shelf-life of vegetables and flowers, clay-based nano-resources for precision water management, reclamation of salt-affected soils, and stabilization of erosion prone surfaces, to name a few.

1945: War, Empire and the Struggle for a New World
by Phil CraigAs the fate of the world is decided, so too is that of the British, Dutch and French empires. In India a generation committed to independence must decide whether to support 'the Raj' or fight alongside the Japanese. One military family is bitterly divided. Will it be the brother who serves under British command, or the one who follows Subhas Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army, who goes on to help build a new and free India? In Borneo a little known Australian special forces campaign - secretly controlled from London - goes horribly wrong as questions are asked about whether its true purpose is military or imperial. And in Indochina and the East Indies British Generals free and arm Japanese prisoners of war and use them in savage campaigns that aim to put colonial rulers back into their palaces.Clearing away the haze of nostalgia, many uncomfortable truths emerge - but so too does a humane and balanced exploration of what victory in the Second World War truly means.

Japan's War: Hirohito’s Holy War Against the West
by Stewart Binns'A superbly revealing account of a dreadful and profoundly sad war' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL'This extraordinary book gives us a unique insight into why and how Japan fought such an appalling war' NICK HEWERA new perspective on Japan during the Asia-Pacific War, using remarkable first-hand Japanese source material.Even after eighty years since the end of a conflict that killed thirty-five million people, there remains deeply-felt bitterness and anger about the way the Asia-Pacific War was fought, especially by the Japanese. The war in the East stretched from Hawaii to India - with Japanese forces attacking Singapore, China and Malaysia, as well as bombing the north coast of Australia. The Allied forces, led by the US, waged an island-by-island counteroffensive that eventually saw the invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan has been vilified for the countless examples of its cruelty to civilians and prisoners of war. These criticisms have led to a backlash in Japan, where many deny that the accusations are true. By going back to the origins of modern Japan, and by using only Japanese accounts, Japan's War: Hirohito's Holy War against the West offers a powerful account of the conflict and explains in detail why the Japanese conducted the war in the way that they did.

Das kreative Volumen: Wie Designer kreativen Freiraum für Rezipienten interaktiver Produkte schaffen
by Jörg Burbach Nadine TrautzschWie weit kann ein Spiel gehen, um uns in seine Welt eintauchen zu lassen? Das theoretische Modell des Kreativen Volumens betrachtet dazu alle narrativen und ludischen Elemente in ihrer Gesamtheit. Dieses Konzept lässt sich auf das Entwickeln und Erleben von Videospielen anwenden, indem es nicht nur Immersion und Einfühlung, sondern auch die subtile Kunst des Weglassens betont. Das Buch vereint disziplinübergreifende Ansätze, um kreative Prozesse sowohl auf Seiten der Entwickler:innen als auch der Spieler:innen zu fördern. Kern des Modells sind die drei Dimensionen: Kreatives Fundament (durch die Entwickler:innen gestaltete Elemente), Kreatives Potenzial (die schöpferische Interaktion der Spieler:innen) und Kreative Resonanz (Auswirkungen des Spiels über dessen Grenzen hinaus).Es bietet praxisorientierte Leitlinien, wie gestalterische Entscheidungen die emotionale, narrative und soziale Interaktion im Spiel formen können. Es zeigt auf, wie durch bewusste Gestaltung Freiräume für kreative Entfaltung geschaffen und reflektiert werden können und wir somit Spiele zu kulturellen Artefakten und Resonanzräumen entwickeln können. Mit Blick auf die zunehmende Komplexität interaktiver Produkte schafft das kreative Volumen ein Vokabular und einen Rahmen, um Spielentwicklung strategischer, wirkungsvoller und inspirierender zu gestalten. Die Zielgruppe umfasst Game Designer:innen, Entwickler:innen, Künstler:innen und Forscher:innen, die ihr Verständnis von kreativer Interaktivität vertiefen und die gestalterische Praxis auf ein neues Level heben möchten.

Revitalizing Health Care Ethics: The Clinician’s Voice
by Stephen Scher Kasia KozlowskaThis open access book explores the origins and development of the clinician’s moral voice and how that voice is embedded in the informal ethical discourse of everyday health care. This moral voice, developed over the course of a lifetime—including through professional education and practice—enables clinicians to understand and address the ethical issues that arise in their everyday work with patients, families, and colleagues. The early chapters explain how health care students move from outsiders to insiders—members of the distinct moral and professional communities that define each particular field of health care. The book describes how students, trainees, and clinicians draw on and extend their own existing intellectual, emotional, and moral capacities, and how they use these capacities to address the daily challenges, ethical and otherwise, that arise in the clinic. This approach is designed both to empower clinicians and to inform bioethicists and others in their attempts to work more effectively within clinical settings.
