Insecticide & herbicide technologyJuly 2000Priorities in Biopesticide Research and Development in Developing Countries
by Jeremy Harris, David R Dent
Biopesticides Series, No. 2Biological pesticides based on pathogenic micro-organisms specific to a target pest offer an ecologically-sound and effective solution to pest problems. They pose less threat to the environment and to human health than do chemical pesticides. However, despite the enormous potential for biopesticides, their development, commercialisation and use has been slow.The information reported in this book is based on a survey of more than 100 biopesticide research workers in developing countries. The results demonstrate that the main difficulties and constraints facing researchers relate to a lack of expertise in the crucial later stages of development. Biopesticide research is receiving mostly low investment, mainly from the public sector, and requires more multidisciplinary expertise. It is concluded that targeted assistance on a multinational and multi-disciplinary basis is required in developing countries in order to remove the constraints.

Über den Prozeßcharakter von Literatur und Kultur
by Raymond Williams, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus
In Großbritannien haben die Arbeiten des unorthodoxen marxistischen Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftlers Raymond Williams eine lebhafte Resonanz gefunden; hierzulande ist er noch nicht zureichend beachtet worden. Die vom Herausgeber gemeinsam mit Raymond Williams im Blick auf eine kontinentale Leserschaft getroffene Auswahl aus seinen Arbeiten vereinigt theoretisch-begriffliche Untersuchungen und materiale Analysen, die sich in exemplarischer Weise mit zentralen Fragen der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte befassen.

October 2008Geist und Materie
Zur Aktualität von Erwin Schrödinger
by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Robert Pogue Harrison, Michael R. Hendrickson, Robert B. Laughlin, Sabine Baumann
Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) gilt als einer der Väter der Quantenphysik; 1933 erhielt er zusammen mit Paul Dirac den Nobelpreis. Schrödingers Schriften regen auch heute noch an zu einem neuen Blick auf die Welt – und sie haben nicht nur in der Physik weitreichende Folgen gehabt. Schrödinger gilt vielen Experten heute als ein Vordenker des Bioengineering, der Entwicklung von Techniken, mit denen sich Zellen, Gewebe und Lebewesen effizient manipulieren lassen. Und Philosophen attestieren ihm eine orientierende und provozierende Wirkung auf eine neue ökologisch motivierte Philosophie der Natur. In diesem Band entfalten führende amerikanische Naturwissenschaftler und Geisteswissenschaftler das kontroverse Potential von Schrödingers Denken und belegen die anhaltende philosophische und technisch-praktische Bedeutung der Erkenntnisse eines epochalen Wissenschaftlers. "Die Welt ist ein Konstrukt aus unseren Empfindungen, Wahrnehmungen, Erinnerungen. Zwar ist es bequem, sie uns an und für sich einfach schlechthin vorhanden zu denken. Aber sie ist anscheinend nicht schon durch ihr bloßes Vorhandensein auch wirklich manifest." Aus: Erwin Schrödinger, Geist und Materie

January 2018Photosynthesis and Respiration, Second Edition
by William G. Hopkins; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins
The ultimate source of energy is the sun, and the portal through which this life force flows into the biosphere is carried out by green plants. As a result, all organisms—plants, animals, and microbes—use photosynthetic energy for their own needs. Photosynthesis and Respiration, Second Edition introduces the concept of plants as photosynthetic machines and follows the flow of energy and carbon through the natural processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The interaction between photosynthesis and the environment is explored throughout this volume, as well as the role that plants play in balancing the global carbon budget. This reference is a vital tool for students and teachers of biological processes.

January 2018Plant Development, Second Edition
by William G. Hopkins; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins
A plant grows by taking in carbon dioxide from the air and water, as well as nutrients from the soil. Using light energy from the sun, a plant turns these simple materials into more complex organic molecules that add to its increasing size. Plant Development, Second Edition explores this natural process, from the plant as a single cell to a mature organism, giving students a reference point for their understanding of the complex changes in both form and function of a plant's development. This is a valuable tool for students and teachers of plant biology.

May 1991Intentionalität
Eine Abhandlung zur Philosophie des Geistes
by Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle
Nach seinen sprachphilosophischen Arbeiten ('Sprechakte', stw 458; 'Ausdruck und Bedeutung', stw 349) hat John R. Searle mit 'Intentionalität' eine Untersuchung zu einem Kernstück der Philosophie des Geistes vorgelegt, die in einem engen thematischen Zusammenhang mit den früheren Arbeiten steht. Intentionalität ist nach Searles Auffassung die Basis sprachlicher Bedeutung. In seiner Theorie der Intentionalität geht es um die begrifflichen Eigenschaften intentionaler Zustände (auf die Frage nach ihrem ontologischen Status geht er ausführlicher ein in 'Geist, Hirn und Wissenschaft', stw 591). Zwei Aspekte stehen dabei im Vordergrund der Untersuchung: die Logik der Repräsentation und der Kausalität intentionaler Zustände. Doch Searle entwickelt in dieser Arbeit nicht nur eine Theorie der Intentionalität und des Zusammenhangs zwischen sprachlichem und geistigem Inhalt. In einem vornehmlich kritischen Teil setzt er sich ausführlich mit konkurrierenden Auffassungen aus dem Bereich der analytischen Philosophie auseinander, insbesondere mit derzeit sehr einflußreichen 'nicht-deskriptivistischen' Theorien des Bezugs, wie sie von S. Kripke, H. Putnam, K. Donnellan, T. Burge und D. Kaplan vertreten und angeregt wurden.

January 2018Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition
by William G. Hopkins; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins
Over the past 25 years, terms like genetic modification, genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, and biotechnology have become commonplace in the news and in the public vocabulary. But biotechnology has in fact been practiced for thousands of years, with the aim of harnessing organisms for processing food and making useful products. Since the 1980s, however, recombinant DNA technology has given us the ability to modify organisms in the most fundamental way. The modification of plants by these new techniques has unleashed a storm of public controversy worldwide. Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition brings perspective to the discussion. Tracing the history of biotechnology, from its origins in antiquity through its foundations as a science in the work of Louis Pasteur to the birth of modern genetic engineering, this eBook describes traditional uses for plants, reveals how they are genetically engineered, and explains how new technology compares with conventional ways of generating new food plants. Readers will find that this accessible introduction dispels some of the myths surrounding genetic engineering, clearly presents the current impact and future potential of genetically modified plants, and provides a balanced look at the risks and benefits of biotechnology.

Fertilizers & manuresNovember 2006No Tillage Seeding in Conservation Agriculture
by C J Baker, Scott E Justice, Keith E Saxton, Peter Hobbs, William R Ritchie, W C T Chamen, Don C Reicosky, Fatima Ribeiro
This book is a much-expanded and updated edition of a previous volume, published in 1996 as "No-tillage Seeding: Science and Practice". The base objective remains to describe, in lay terms, a range of international experiments designed to examine the causes of successes and failures in no-tillage. The book summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of no tillage. It highlights the pros and cons of a range of features and options, without promoting any particular product.Topics added or covered in more detail in the second edition include:* soil carbon and how its retention or sequestration interacts with tillage and no-tillage* controlled traffic farming as an adjunct to no-tillage* comparison of the performance of generic no-tillage opener designs* the role of banding fertilizer in no-tillage* the economics of no-tillage* small-scale equipment used by poorer farmers* forage cropping by no-tillage* a method for risk assessment of different levels of machine sophistication

Forestry & silviculture: practice & techniquesSeptember 2009Ecology and Silviculture of Oaks
by Paul S Johnson, Stephen R Shifley, Robert Rogers
The management of oak forests is essential to the ecosystems of many countries, and current trends in managing forests are based on sustaining desired ecosystems, rather than timber and other commodity outputs. By considering oak forests as responsive ecosystems, this updated new edition draws on the authors' extensive experience in order to examine topics essential to understanding the unique characteristics of oaks and oak forests, covering distribution, ecology and population dynamics, and silvicultural practices for multi-resource management such as creating and sustaining oak savannas, and increasing and measuring acorn production. With new information on carbon sequestration, biofuel production, impacts of climate change, and sudden oak death - a serious and newly discovered pathogen - the book will be essential reading for ecologists, silviculturists, environmentalists, wildlife managers and students in these disciplines.
