On his nighttime rambles through the City of London-i.e., its
historical and financial heart-Andreas Schmidt (born 1967)
documents the icy glamour of its epic-scaled financial palaces, in
which empty lobbies, conference rooms and endless corridors
proliferate. Schmidt's portrait of these eerily alienated realms
restore the understanding that such environments, in their
oversized grandeur, are very far from the civic good.
Spark ablation has been used worldwide for decades. However, in
many fields, the special properties of nanoparticles, which come
into play especially for sizes <20 nm, are just beginning to be
exploited. The technique offers unprecedented flexibility regarding
composition and size, and revolutions in the domains of catalysis
and sensor technology, and more are to be expected. This book is
the first review of spark ablation as a unique, scalable source of
building blocks for nanotechnology and a powerful tool to promote
this development. The introductory chapters give an overview of the
technological fields that can exploit size effects, and explain the
process of spark ablation in the gas phase, as well as principles
of immobilizing particles to create novel products and materials.
Fundamentals of the spark ablation process are then discussed, in
addition to the characteristics of the particles formed. The rest
of the book deals with a selection of application fields that
profit from the spark ablation source from the perspective of
research. With the authors' many years of experience in spark
ablation and its applications, all the chapters complement one
another and contain numerous cross-references in order to enable
the reader to obtain a complete picture of the subject.

This book is the second volume in a series of 4 volumes in the
Handbook of Zoology series treating morphology, anatomy,
reproduction, development, ecology, phylogeny, systematics and
taxonomy of polychaetous Annelida. In this volume a comprehensive
review of a few more derived higher taxa within Sedentaria are
given, namely Sabellida, Opheliida/Capitellida as well as
Hrabeiellidae. The former comprise annelids possessing a body
divided into two more or less distinct regions or tagmata called
thorax and abdomen. Here two groups of families are united, the
spioniform and sabelliform polychaetes. Especially Spionidae and
Sabellidae are speciose families within this group and represent
two of the largest annelid families. These animals live in various
types of burrows or tubes and all possess so-called feeding palps.
In one group these appendages are differentiated as grooved feeding
palps, whereas in the other they may form highly elaborated
circular tentacular crowns comprising a number of radioles mostly
giving off numerous filamentous pinnulae. Often additionally
colourful, the latter are also received the common names
"feather-duster worms", "flowers of the sea", "Christmas-tree
worms". Opheliida/Capitellida including five families of truly
worm-like annelids without appendages represents the contrary.
Their members burrow in soft bottom substrates and may be
classified as non-selective deposit feeders. Molecular phylogenetic
analyses have shown that Echiura or spoon worms, formerly regarded
to represent a separate phylum, are members of this group. Last not
least Hrabeiellidae is one out of only two families of
oligochaete-like terrestrial polychaetes and for this reason
received strong scientific interest.
This volume of the Handbook of Zoology summarizes "small" groups of
animals across the animal kingdom. Dicyemida and Orthonectida are
enigmatic parasites, formerly united as "Mesozoa" and their
position among the multicellular animals is still not known with
certainty. Placozoa are small, flat marine animals which provide
important information on metazoan evolution. Comb jellies
(Ctenophora) are esthetically fascinating animals which cause
considerable discussion about their phylogenetic position.
Seisonida are closely related to rotifers and acanthocephalans.
Cycliophora were discovered and described as one of the last higher
taxa and surprise by their complex life cycle. Kamptozoa (=
Entoprocta) are small sessile animals in the sea and sometimes also
in freshwater. Arrow worms (Chaetognatha) play an important role as
predators in the plankton, but they also include benthic forms.
Pterobranchia and acorn worms (Enteropneusta) belong to the
deuterostomia and are related to echinoderms. In particular
enteropneusts play an important role in understanding deuterostome
evolution. These chapters provide up to date reviews of these
exiting groups with reference to the important literature and
therefore serves as an important source of information.
This volume of the series Handbook of Zoology deals with the
anatomy of the gastrointestinal digestive tract - stomach, small
intestine, caecum and colon - in all eutherian orders and
suborders. It presents compilations of anatomical studies, as well
as an extensive list of references, which makes widely dispersed
literature accessible. Introductory sections to orders and
suborders give notice to biology, taxonomy, biogeography and food
of the respective taxon. It is a characteristic of this book that
different sections of the post-oesophageal tract are discussed
separately from each other. Informations on form and function of
organs of digestion in eutherians are discussed under
comparative-anatomical aspects. The variability and diversity of
anatomical structures represents the basis of functional
differentiations.
