The Five Dimension Space-Time Universe;A creation and grand unified field theory model

By: K.W. Wong,Gisela A. M. Dreschhoff,Hogne Jungner

This book is intended to present to the readers familiar with the basic skills in physics and mathematics, the 5 Dimension Space-Time field theory and its projection into the 4 Dimension Space-Time Lorentz field theory. It is not a review on other 5D theories nor is it intended as a sophisticated mathematically complete presentation, although it is certainly possible to be so formulated.

Management and Economics of Construction Safety in Hong Kong

Dynamics of the Residential Real Estate Market in Hong Kong

By: S.W. Poon,S.L. Tang,Francis K.W. Wong

Hong Kong had a very bad record in construction safety in the 1980s and before. Since the early 1990s, a number of statutory regulations have been enforced in order to improve safety in Hong Kong's construction industry. The results of these efforts can gradually be seen, and this is evidenced by the significant drop in construction accidents in recent years. This book is important in keeping construction professionals informed about Hong Kong's experience in construction safety. It begins with an overview of safety management systems generally adopted in the Asian context with the support of construction accident statistics from a number of countries or cities. Other topics include factors which influence site safety programmes, construction safety management systems, safety legislation, safety auditing, the procedure of accident investigation, the Hong Kong government's mandatory SSPS (Site Supervision Plan System) that all contractors and authorized persons/registered structural engineers have to follow, and construction safety economics.

Heme and Hemoproteins

By: K.W. Bock,G.H. Elder,L.G. Israels,G.S. Marcks,F. De Matteis,J.D. Maxwell,U.A. Meyer,H.L. Rayner,H.L. Remmer,S. Sassa,B.A. Schacter,G.H. Tait,T.R. Tephly,D.P. Tschudy

The study of the biological effects of foreign chemicals (whether therapeutic drugs or chemicals present at work or in the environment) interests the biologist from a number of different and complementary viewpoints. Apart from the more obvious pharmacological and toxicological interest, the experimentalist often uses foreign chemicals to produce in experimental animals disease states similar to naturally occurring diseases, so that their pathogenetic mechanisms and therapy can be studied under controlled conditions. In addition - as Claude Bernard pointed out over a century ago - foreign chemicals can be employed as instruments to analyze the most delicate vital processes; much can be learned about the physiological processes themselves by a careful study of the mechanisms by which these are altered by chemicals. The field of heme and hemoproteins offers an example of the interplay of these different approaches. Their metabolism can be altered by therapeutic drugs and other foreign chemicals and this results in a variety of biological responses that transcend the boundaries of pharmacology into the confines of clinical medi cine, genetics, toxicology, biochemistry and physiology. In this book a multidisciplinary approach to the study of heme metabolism is presented including the effect of chemicals on heme metabolism in patients, the results of experimental work in the whole animal, as well as in vitro studies.

Inside the World's Major East Asian Collections

One Belt, One Road, and Beyond

By: Patrick Lo,Dickson KW Chiu,Allan Cho

Inside the World's Major East Asian Collections examines the rise of the "LAM, an acronym that stands for libraries, archives and museums. In doing so, this book profiles leading experts—librarians, archivists and museum curators—who specialise in East Asian collections from across the world. In examining the dynamically shifting role of the cultural institution in the context of managing information and collections, this book provides important themes offered by these cultural experts in understanding the necessary professional skills, knowledge and personalities that are required for working in such environments of varying size, scope and composition in LAMs. As galleries, LAMs manage preservation and access of history and culture, and their missions and goals as cultural institutions continue to converge. As collecting institutions, LAMs share the common mandate to preserve and make accessible primary resources valuable for researchers and professionals, as well as the public. LAMs are mostly publicly funded, publicly accountable institutions collecting cultural heritage materials. Another aim of this book is to enhance the visibility and recognise the efforts of the LAM professionals as cultural institution leaders, since much of their great contributions in the respective fields to preserving our cultural and documentary heritages have gone unnoticed outside their parent institutions. - Examines the roles and goals of cultural institutions - Brings collections to life through interviews with LAM experts - Presents LAMs with a focus on East Asia - Serves as a platform for LAM professionals to share and exchange experiences and insights

Isoquinoline Alkaloids

By: K. W. Bentley

The Isoquinoline Alkaloids presents an in-depth review of 22-sub groups of isoquinoline alkaloids all related to their common origin from the amino-acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. The coverage is not intended to be comprehensive and encyclopaedic, but all of the salient features of the elucidation of structures, structural variation, stereochemistry, chemical reactions, syntheses, biogenetic origins and relationships, and pharmacology are covered, and an extensive bibliography of original papers is provided to assist further detailed study. The opening chapter comprises a review of the formation of alkaloids from amino-acids and the general methods of structural degradation used in the definitive elucidations of structures. Two final chapters cover napthylisoquinolines, which are biogenetically distinct from those discussed in earlier chapters, and miscellaneous natural products that are rationally included with other groups. This book should be of interest to graduates and researchers in the field of organic chemistry, natural product chemistry and biochemistry.

Egalitarianism and Global Justice

From a Relational Perspective

By: Kevin K. W. Ip

In this book, Kevin Ip articulates and defends an egalitarian conception of global distributive justice grounded on the value of equality as a normative ideal of how human relations should be conducted. Arguing that relationships of equality, rather than those characterized by domination or exploitation, are a requirement for a just system, Ip spells out the real-world implications of this approach. Ip defends the ideal of equality against the diverse objections which have been brought to bear, and the responsibilities we bear in our aspirations towards global justice.

The Chemistry of the Actinides

Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry

By: S. Ahrland,K. W. Bagnall,D. Brown

The Chemistry of the Actinides contains selected chapters from the Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry to meet the needs of certain specialists in this field. The book describes the 14 elements after actinium in the Periodic Table, known as the actinide elements or the 5f transition series. The book notes the occurrence, separation, chemical properties, chemical structures, and preparation of the metals. In a discussion of analytical chemistry, the radioactive properties of the actinides and the lanthanides are compared. The text then describes the nuclear or radiochemical records and chemical properties of the different members of the actinide series such as thorium, uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium. The book also explains the differences between the 5f shell and the 4f shell. One paper then discusses the groups of alloy compounds, including rare earths and intra-actinides. Another paper examines the general properties of actinide ions as to their electronic structure and oxidation states; the stability and preparation of the different oxidation states; and the applicability of solvent extraction in separating and purifying various substances. The text is suitable for researchers in organic chemistry, nuclear and atomic physicists, scientists, and academicians whose work involves radioactive materials.

Contemporary Bamboo Architecture in China

By: K. W. Liu,Q. F. Xu,G. Wang,F. M. Chen,Y. B. Leng,J. Yang,K. A. Harries

This book describes the distribution of bamboo forest and bamboo species for construction, the types and characteristics of both engineered and natural full-culm bamboo materials for construction, the development history and research status of different forms of bamboo architecture. We go on to describe standards, relevant international organizations, research institutions and production and processing enterprises and typical cases. Starting from six aspects, this book systematically describes modern bamboo building development, analyzes the opportunities and challenges faced by the bamboo construction industry and provides guidance for the development of the bamboo construction industry in China. Particularly in Chapter 6, more than 70 examples constructed mostly since 2014 are selected to provide a detailed overview of the use of bamboo as decorative and structural materials. In order to fully explore the potential of bamboo in engineering applications, the authors introduce the use of bamboo construction for transportation facilities (bridges, highway landscape fences and bus stations), landscape, water pipelines and urban municipal tunnels. The authors hope readers are inspired by these most vivid cases and experience the charm of modern Chinese bamboo architecture.
