This book discusses in detail the facts and findings related to the
X-Press Pearl container vessel accident that occurred in May 2021
off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The ship was carrying a large
consignment of chemicals and diverse hazardous materials that
caused a disastrous and vast environmental and social catastrophe
in the region. Through many case studies, accumulated knowledge,
and experiences, the authors discuss the accident response, risk
mitigation, investigation, and damage assessment activities from
the very onset of the accident. It helps researchers and regulators
understand the facts of this unique marine chemical accident and to
formulate necessary future regulations as well as to develop robust
safety and sustainability management systems and safety cultures.
Features Written by authorities who led the team involved in
accident response and damage assessment Focused on identifying
plausible root causes, pitfalls in accident response, and
weaknesses in current regulatory and management protocols Delivers
in-depth understanding of a unique marine chemical accident to help
formulate necessary future policies and regulations related to such
disasters Includes many case studies related to the accident
illustrated with photos and figures that are true evidence of the
disaster, the response, and the mitigation Explains and discusses
key research findings in a streamlined manner understandable for a
wide audience A valuable resource for readers in environmental
management and policy creation, as well as for researchers,
professionals, academics, and students involved in environmental
science, chemical engineering, technical safety and sustainability
management, maritime, polymer, and ocean sciences. Countries where
maritime disasters are a concern will also find this book is an
important guide for taking a responsible approach when handling
similar situations in the future.
6G Frontiers Enables readers to understand the exciting new
technologies, architectural directions, technical aspects, and
applications of 6G, plus legal and standardization approaches 6G
Frontiers offers intelligent insight into the ongoing research
trends, use cases, and key developmental technologies powering the
upcoming 6G framework. The authors cover a myriad of important
topics that intersect with 6G, such as hyper-intelligent
networking, security, privacy, and trust, harmonized mobile
networks, legal views, and standards initiatives. The work also
explores the more extreme and controversial predictions surrounding
6G, such as hyper-connected smart cities, space tourism, and
deep-sea tourism. Sample thought-provoking topics covered in the
comprehensive work include: Evolution of mobile networks, from 0G
to 6G, including the driving trends, requirements, and key enabling
technologies of each generation Logistics of 6G networks, which are
expected to offer peak data rates over 1 Tbps, imperceptible
end-to-end delays (beneath 0.1 ms), and network availability and
reliability rates beyond 99.99999% New technology requirements for
6G, such as Further enhanced Mobile Broadband (FeMBB),
ultra-massive Machine-Type Communication (umMTC), Mobile BroadBand
and Low-Latency (MBBLL), and massive Low-Latency Machine Type
communication (mLLMT) Potential architectural directions of 6G,
including zero-touch network and service management, intent-based
networking, edge AI, intelligent network softwarization, and radio
access networks A complete and modern resource for understanding
the potential development, logistics, and implications of 6G
networks, 6G Frontiers is a must-read reference for researchers,
academics, and technology architects who wish to understand the
cutting-edge progress that is being made towards better and faster
wireless mobile technology.
An invaluable self-assessment tool for emergency medicine
trainees in Australasia.
"Emergency Medicine MCQs" is an essential resource for
Australasia's emergency medicine trainees.
A practical self-assessment tool, the book assists trainees as
they expand and refine their knowledge of emergency medicine, and
will ultimately help them pass the Australasian Emergency Medicine
Fellowship examination (FACEM).
The multiple-choice questions in "Emergency Medicine MCQs" cover
both the core and non-core areas in the Australasian Emergency
Medicine Fellowship.? Using this text, trainees can revise alone or
with their peers to identify the areas in which they need further
development.
The curriculum is divided into three main areas where trainees
require expert level of knowledge, high level of knowledge and
general level of knowledge. It covers important clinical problems
encountered in everyday emergency medicine practice - from
cardiovascular emergencies through to obstetric and gynaecology
emergencies, disaster management and toxicology.
As well as being ideal for emergency medicine trainees
qualifying through AECM, the book is a useful resource for GPs
taking the GEM qualification through ACEM and JMOs 'on call'.
Plus, this emergency medicine text is accompanied by an app - a
separate product containing 180 randomised multiple-choice
questions on all the topics within the book.

The Temple Of Attanagalla; Transl. From The Pali With Notes
Annotations Etc. By James D'Alwis James de Alwis
This book, from the series Primary Sources: Historical Books of the
World (Asia and Far East Collection), represents an important
historical artifact on Asian history and culture. Its contents come
from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject
produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a
discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the
subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the
Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the
book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous
generations.
The devastation of the tsunami and reconstruction in its aftermath,
in Aceh and Sri Lanka, resulted in a divergence of political
trajectories with Aceh moving towards a cessation of war and Sri
Lanka heading towards a resumption of war. These different
political outcomes frame this volume's compelling arguments about
aid, activism and reconstruction. The contributors, hailing from a
diversity of disciplines offer critical analyses of many key
categories mobilised in humanitarian discourses and practices while
providing ethnographic accounts and case studies of an array of
institutions and individuals. Importantly, this volume interrogates
the frequent disconnect between research and policy and explores
ways this divide can be bridged. A must read for donors and policy
makers as well as researchers and activists.

"Heavy metals" are predicted as a class of environmental pollutants
which has a potential to develop into a catastrophic situation.
Ecological balance of nature is being disturbed, continuously, as a
consequence of anthropogenic activities. As a result, hazards of
heavy metals are being aggravated along with the other
environmental threats. It is important to study and understand the
environmental phenomena in order to preserve the hospitability of
nature for all the living beings. As at present, food security is
questionable for all communities. Norms related to many parameters
are yet to be established. This monograph is based on the research
carried out to investigate the Bioaccumulation of selected heavy
metal types in Aponogeton sp. and Nelumbo nucifera; two of the
fresh water macrophytes used as vegetables in Sri Lanka. Contents
of this is believed to be useful specifically for those who are
involved in and / or interested in research studies of this nature.
