Bioethics: For a Technological World

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the era of globalization the author contributes to the theoretical deepening of bioethics and establishes new discursive criteria which, based on the ranking of the principles, generate a procedure that be able to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for rational discussion and taking, morally and legally, correct decisions in the public domain. He shows us how the inability of traditional ethics to generate moral norms generally accepted for governing techno-scientific action has made visible a very dangerous antinomy. The elucidation of this antinomy represents the consolidation of a procedural, deliberative and reasonable bioethics, based on a correct diagnosis of our age. This brief but necessary book aims to ascertain the urgency of a radical rethinking of life experience, and from this theoretical-practical exercise, points out the need to redefine the nature of contemporary moral experience, and shows that the current era requires great… [detailed...]

Biofilms in Wastewater Treatment: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Water &, Wastewater Practitioner Series: STOWA Report)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The central theme of the book is the flow of information from experimental approaches in biofilm research to simulation and modeling of complex wastewater systems. Probably the greatest challenge in wastewater research lies in using the methods and the results obtained in one scientific discipline to design intelligent experiments in other disciplines, and eventually to improve the knowledge base the practitioner needs to run wastewater treatment plants. The purpose of Biofilms in Wastewater Treatment is to provide engineers with the knowledge needed to apply the new insights gained by researchers. The authors provide an authoritative insight into the function of biofilms on a technical and on a lab-scale, cover some of the exciting new basic microbiological and wastewater engineering research involving molecular biology techniques and microscopy, and discuss recent attempts to predict the development of biofilms. This book is divided into 3 sections: Modeling and Simulation,… [detailed...]

Biofuels, Solar and Wind as Renewable Energy Systems: Benefits and Risks

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With shortages of fossil energy, especially oil and natural gas, and heavy biomass energy use occurring in both developed and developing countries, a major focus has developed worldwide on renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems include wind po, biomass, photovoltaics, hydropower, solar thermal, thermal ponds, and biogas. Currently, a heavy focus is on biofuels made from crops, such as corn, sugarcane, and soybeans, for use as renewable energy sources. Wood and crop residues also are being d as fuel. Though it may seem beneficial to use renewable plant materials for biofuel, the use of crop residues and other biomass for biofuels raises many concerns about major environmental problems, including food shortages and serious destruction of vitsoil resources. All renewable energy systems need to be investigated because humankind has only about 40 years of oil and gas reserves remaining. There is a 50 to 100 year supply of coal resources in the ground, but coal will… [detailed...]

Biography of a Subject: An Evolution of Development Economics

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe study of economic development is one of the newest, most exciting, and most challenging branches of the broader discipline of economics and political economy. Although one could claim that Adam Smith was the first `development economist`, the systematic study of the problems and processes of economic development in Africa, Asia, and Latin America has emerged only over the past five decades. This biography of the subject of economic development will focus on the essential ideas in the evolution of development though and policy over the subject`s half-century of life. In concise form and avoiding undue technicality, it highlights the influence of development theory on policymaking and on the mixed record of successes and failures in promoting development efforts. The interpretation of theory, policy, and the lessons of experience are covered in three periods: early development economics of the 1950s-60s, orthodox reaction of the 1970s-80s, and the new… [detailed...]

Biography of a Tenement House in New York City: An Architectural History of 97 Orchard Street

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `I trace my ancestry back to the Mayflower,` writes Andrew S. Dolkart. `Not to the legendary ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620, but to the more prosaic tenement on the southeast corner of East Broadway and Clinton Street named the Mayflower, where my father was born in 1914 to Russian-Jewish immigrants.` For Dolkart, the experience of being raised in a tenement became a metaphor for the life that was afforded countless thousands of other immigrant children growing up in Lower Manhattan during the past century and more. Dolkart presents for us a precise and informative biography of a typical tenement house in New York City that became, in 1988, the site for the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Dolkart documents, analyzes, and interprets the architectural and social history of this building at 97 Orchard Street, starting in the 1860s when it was erected, moving on to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the neighborhood… [detailed...]

Here Lee considers the cultural and historical background of different types of biographies, looks at the factors that affect biographers, and asks whether there are different strategies, ethics, and principles required for writing about one person compared to another. She also discusses contemporary biographical publications and considers what kind of `lives` are the most popular and in demand. And along the way, she answers such questions as why do certain people and historical events arouse so much interest? How can biographies be compared with history and works of fiction? Does a biography need to be true? Is it acceptable to omit or conceal things? Does the biographer need to… [detailed...]
