In the future, our energy systems will need to be renewable and sustainable, efficient and cost-effective, convenient and safe. Hydrogen has been proposed as the perfect fuel for this future energy system. The availability of a reliable and cost-effective supply, safe and efficient storage, and convenient end use of hydrogen will be essential for a transition to a Hydrogen Economy. Research is being conducted throughout the world for the development of safe, cost-effective hydrogen production, storage, and end-use technologies that support and foster this transition. This book is a col

Forensic Psychiatry, Race and Culture explores why forensic psychiatry services are not serving the multi-ethnic societies of Britain and the USA as they should. The authors discuss the concepts, theories and ideologies upon which forensic psychiatry is founded and explain why current problems are in part the result of a historic linking of race, schizophrenia and criminality in the minds of Western Europeans. Presenting a survey of current clinical research into issues of race in forensic psychiatry the authors argue that the apparent contradictions in research findings and inquiry reports i

The discovery of caged carbon structures, in 1985, established a whole new field of carbon chemistry. Unlike graphite and diamond, these structures known as fullerenes are finite in structure and are relevant to a wide variety of fields including supramolecular assemblies, nanostructures, optoelectronic devices and a whole range of biological activities. Fullerenes: Principles and Applications discusses all aspects of this exciting field. Sections include: the basic principles for the chemical reactivity of fullerenes, electrochemistry, light induced processes, fullerenes for material scien
