Clay Mineral Catalysis of Organic Reactions

By: Benny K.G Theng

The book provides insight into the working of clays and clay minerals in speeding up a variety of organic reactions. Clay minerals are known to have a large propensity for taking up organic molecules and can catalyse numerous organic reactions due to fine particle size, extensive surface area, layer structure, and peculiar charge characteristics. They can be used as heterogeneous catalysts and catalyst carriers of organic reactions because they are non-corrosive, easy to separate from the reaction mixture, and reusable. Clays and clay minerals have an advantage over other solid acids as they are abundant, inexpensive, and non-polluting.

Brokerage and the Plight of Migrant Workers in Asia

By: Benny Hari Juliawan S.J.

This book brings together a collection of papers that resulted from a project to look into this phenomenon in East and Southeast Asia. This project asks the following questions: how brokers negotiate the state/private, legal/illegal, altruistic/profit-making boundaries to their advantage? How do brokers overlap with informal social networks? What is the kind of regulatory and social environments that prompted the emergence and dominance of brokers in labour migration? This research also seeks to identify efforts that are necessary to curb criminal activities in brokerage and improve protections. A special attention is given to possible collaborations among ASEAN country members to better control the industry. This book comes out of the collaboration of six Jesuit institutions that work for migrant workers under the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP) Migration Network. It is the third research project after the ones on Left-Behind Children (2016) and Settling Down (2017).

Power and Control in the Imperial Valley

Power and Control in the Imperial Valley

Nature, Agribusiness, and Workers on the California Borderland, 1900-1940

By: Benny J Andrés

Power and Control in the Imperial Valley examines the evolution of irrigated farming in the Imperial-Mexicali Valley, an arid desert straddling the California–Baja California border. Bisected by the international boundary line, the valley drew American investors determined to harness the nearby Colorado River to irrigate a million acres on both sides of the border. The “conquest” of the environment was a central theme in the history of the valley. Colonization in the valley began with the construction of a sixty-mile aqueduct from the Colorado River in California through Mexico. Initially, Mexico held authority over water delivery until settlers persuaded Congress to construct the All-American Canal. Control over land and water formed the basis of commercial agriculture and in turn enabled growers to use the state to procure inexpensive, plentiful immigrant workers.

Novel Compounds from Natural Products in the New Millennium

Potential and Challenges

By: Benny K-H. Tan,Boon-Huat Bay,Yi-Zhun Zhu

There is continuing interest in natural products as sources of potentially new and exciting chemical compounds. This book brings together the knowledge, perspectives and research findings of a varied group of scientists on a wide range of topics, from microarrays, genetics and bioinformatics to yeast-based technologies and enzyme studies. Scientists and clinicians in life science research will find useful information on new research techniques and tools. For the agriculturist, there is interesting information on the potential and problems of natural-based pesticides. The cancer researcher will find several plant sources with potential anti-cancer and immunomodulating compounds, as well as a report on two new modalities in cancer therapy ? photosensitization with hypericin and immunotherapy. Latest developments of Chinese herbal extracts reported in this book may offer a new alternative therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the later chapters awaken the would-be entrepreneur to the opportunities and challenges of research and development in the natural product industry, with the concluding chapter providing helpful insights into Intellectual Property Law.

Memory Controllers for Mixed-Time-Criticality Systems

Architectures, Methodologies and Trade-offs

By: Sven Goossens,Karthik Chandrasekar,Benny Akesson,Kees Goossens

This book discusses the design and performance analysis of SDRAM controllers that cater to both real-time and best-effort applications, i.e. mixed-time-criticality memory controllers. The authors describe the state of the art, and then focus on an architecture template for reconfigurable memory controllers that addresses effectively the quickly evolving set of SDRAM standards, in terms of worst-case timing and power analysis, as well as implementation. A prototype implementation of the controller in SystemC and synthesizable VHDL for an FPGA development board are used as a proof of concept of the architecture template.

The Rise of Comic Book Movies

From the Pages to the Big Screen

By: Benny Potter,Dan Rumbles,Jason King,Chris Stuckmann

From the masterminds behind YouTube’s Comicstorian: “Tremendous insight and unique perspectives that any comic fan, new or old, will enjoy.” —Rob Jefferson of Comics Explained It’s the Golden Age of comic book movies, with blockbuster after blockbuster starring larger-than-life characters—Thor, Superman, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and of course, baddies like Loki, The Joker, and Lex Luthor. When it comes to superheroes of the silver screen, nobody knows more than the masterminds behind the wildly popular Comicstorian YouTube channel—and in this guide to comic book films, they divulge behind-the-scenes secrets and the hidden history behind these must-see movies, including how, after very rocky beginnings, they shot to the top with DC and Marvel as two of the most important franchises in the industry. If you love The Hulk, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Iron Man, and are still laughing about Deadpool, look no further. With The Rise of Comic Book Movies, you’ll feel like you’re on the film set, walking the halls of Valhalla, and in your very own Fortress of Solitude with your favorites.

Memory Controllers for Real-Time Embedded Systems

Predictable and Composable Real-Time Systems

By: Benny Akesson,Kees Goossens

Verification of real-time requirements in systems-on-chip becomes more complex as more applications are integrated. Predictable and composable systems can manage the increasing complexity using formal verification and simulation. This book explains the concepts of predictability and composability and shows how to apply them to the design and analysis of a memory controller, which is a key component in any real-time system.
