Most activities in our lives involve electricity. Yet, how often do we recall that even the simple act of turning on a light is supported by a long history of debates over group vs. individual rights, environmental impact, political agendas and technological innovations? This book details the many and often turbulent interactions and interconnections that occurred among the various people and events during the building of the northeastern Ontario hydroelectric system. Special focus is on Native and non-Native interests; southern business and political elites; northern natural resources and

The Second Edition of Nutrition: An Applied Approach, presents introductory nutrition information to non-majors in an applied format that discourages memorization and promotes long-term understanding of the material. The authors capitalize on students’ natural interest in nutrition by demonstrating how it relates to their health and their everyday lives, and by addressing- and debunking- commonly held misconceptions students have. The applied nature of the book is also reflected in the functional organization of the micronutrient chapters.  The Role of Nutrition in Our Health, Designing

Unconventional approaches to programming have long been developed, in various niches and out of curiosity, and they constitute a reservoir of alternative avenues to deal with unknown programming challenges. New paradigms of programming are currently experiencing a renewed period of interest and growth to cope with problems from specific application domains. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Unconventional Programming Paradigms, UPP 2004, held at Le Mont Saint Michel, France, in September 2004. The 26 revised full papers presented

This book contains a refereed collection of revised papers selected from the presentations at the France-Japan Workshop on Object-Based Parallel and Distributed Computation, OBPDC’95, held in Tokyo in June 1995. The 18 full papers included in the book constitute a representative, well-balanced set of timely research contributions to the growing field of object-based concurrent computing. The volume is organized in sections on massively parallel programming languages, distributed programming languages, formalisms, distributed operating systems, dependable distributed computing, and softwa

Les maladies infectieuses représentent la plus grande part de la pathologie en Afrique. Tous les personnels de santé y sont confrontés. Ce manuel pratique est un outil utilisable sur le terrain pour les prises de décisions aux différents niveaux de la pyramide sanitaire. L’utilisation d’arbres décisionnels et de schémas thérapeutiques standardisés faisant appel prioritairement aux techniques de laboratoires et aux médicaments essentiels s’inscrit dans les politiques recommandées par les programmes nationaux de lutte contre les maladies transmissibles. Le champ des infections a

Clusters can be viewed as solids at the nano-scale, yet molecular cluster chemistry and solid state chemistry have traditionally been considered as separate topics. This treatment has made it conceptually difficult to appreciate commonalities of structure and bonding between the two. Using analogous models, this is the first book to form a connecting bridge. Although the focus is on clusters, sufficient attention is paid to solid-state compounds at each stage of the development to establish the interrelationship between the two topics. Comprehensive coverage of cluster types by composition, si
