Since the first works introducing the aluminum intercalated clay family in the early 1970s, interest in the synthesis of pillared interlayered clays has increased tremendously, especially research into the properties and applications of new synthesis methods. The need for solids that could be used as cracking catalysts with larger pores than zeolitic materials has spurred the synthesis of new porous materials from clays. Pillared Clays and Related Catalysts reviews the properties and applications of pillared clays and other layered materials used as catalysts, focusing on: the acidity of pillared clays and the effect it has on catalytic performance the use of pillared clays as supports for catalytically active phases, and the use of the resulting solids in environmentally friendly reactions the applications of the selective reduction of NOx the comparison between the reactions of pillared clays and anionic clays.

This volume reviews the drinking water treatments in which AOPs display a high application potential. Firstly it reveals the typical supply sources and limitations of conventional technologies and critically reviews natural organic matter characterization and removal techniques, focusing mainly on AOP treatments. It then explores using AOPs for simultaneous inactivation/disinfection of several types of microorganisms, including highly resistant Cryptosporidium protozoa. Lastly, it discusses relevant miscellaneous topics, like the most promising AOP solid catalysts, the regime change of Fenton-like processes toward continuous reactors, the application of chemometrics for process optimization, the impact on disinfection byproducts and the tracing of toxicity during AOP treatments. This work is a useful reference for researchers and students involved in water technologies, including analytical and environmental chemistry, chemical and environmental engineering, toxicology, biotechnology, and related fields. It is intended to encourage industrial and public-health scientists and decision-makers to accelerate the application of AOPs as technological alternatives for the improvement of drinking water treatment plants.

This is a practical book on neurological therapy. It is aimed at giving concise and updated answers to busy practicing clinicians in the clinic, ward or emergency department. An evidence-based approach is used, but when there is no evidence or the data are inconclusive, an expert opinion is always being given in order to meet the expectations of the reader. All neurological conditions (common and less common) are discussed; each chapter has a similar format, and contains an initial brief introduction on the epidemiology and clinical features of each disease. The therapy is then discussed, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological, with wide use of Tables & Figures (flowcharts are also included in most of the chapters).

Un joven cientifico que viene de una muy pobre comunidad de Santo Domingo, piensa que tiene todas las respuestas sobre el significado y el proposito de la vida. Sin embargo, cuando tuvo que enfrentarse a la muerte de su prometida a causa de cancer de garganta, cae en una profunda depresion que lo impulsa a la bebida y a las relaciones sexuales con prostitutas. Su padre, que justo habia superado la pobreza, ayudado por una organizacion internacional de desarrollo, le entrego dinero para que se dedicara a la investigacion cientifica con el fin de ayudarlo a ocupar su mente en lo que habia sido su pasion. Invento una maquina avanzada capaz de teletransportar materia a cualquier lugar del planeta en cuestion de segundos; pero una nueva tragedia vino con este logro, porque su mejor amigo, que estaba involucrado en el trafico de drogas en la ciudad de Nueva York, lo secuestro a el y a sus padres, los llevo a Colombia y les obligo a teletransportar cocaina a Estados Unidos. Cuando finalmente fue rescatado por las fuerzas especiales de la marina de Estados Unidos, gracias a la ayuda del embajador de EE.UU. en Republica Dominicana, una tercera tragedia aparecio en su vida: su nueva novia que era una ex prostituta, tambien murio de una enfermedad muy extrana y esta vez el realmente no pudo aguantar mas y fuertemente decidio suicidarse. Antes de que esto sucediera, paso por una profunda reflexion filosofica y teologica, y no encontro ayuda en esto. Asi que de nuevo trato de encontrar un significado existencial en las relaciones sexuales, pero esta vez llego a ser tan experto en hacer el amor a las mujeres, al crear un sofisticado metodo fisico, emocional, psicologico de manera que ellas lo adoraban. Sin embargo pronto se canso de esto y definitivamente decidio morir. Se trago una gran cantidad de arsenico para matarse a si mismo. De pronto sintio que su lengua estaba pesada, tuvo nauseas y sudaba mucho. Despues de eso cayo en un coma y tuvo una vision en la que Dios le mostro el futuro y un verdadero final inesperado."
