The storage of electroenergy is an essential feature of modem
energy technologies. Unfortunately, no economical and technically
feasible method for the solution of this severe problem is
presently available. But electrochemistry is a favourite candidate
from an engineering point of view. It promises the highest energy
densities of all possible alternatives. If this is true, there will
be a proportionality between the amount of electricity to be stored
and the possible voltage, together with the mass of materials which
make this storage possible. Insofar it is a matter of material
science to develop adequate systems. Electricity is by far the most
important secondary energy source. The present production rate,
mainly in the thermal electric power stations, is in the order of
1.3 TW. Rechargeable batteries (RB) are of widespread use in
practice for electroenergy storage and supply. The total capacity
of primary and rechargeable batteries being exploited is the same
as that of the world electric power stations. However, the
important goal in the light of modem energy technology, namely the
economical storage of large amounts of electricity for electric
vehicles, electric route transport, load levelling, solar energy
utilization, civil video & audio devices, earth and spatial
communications, etc. will not be met by the presently available
systems. Unless some of the new emerging electrochemical systems
are established up to date, RB's based on aqueous acidic or alkali
accumulators are mainly produced today.

This salient resource offers clinicians a comprehensive
multi-tiered framework for identifying, addressing, and reducing
food insecurity among children and their families. Reinforcing the
importance of food insecurity as a key social determinant of
health, this monograph reviews the epidemiology and presents
in-depth guidelines for screening for food insecurity and hunger.
Recommendations for screening in a busy clinical setting as well as
the strengths and limitations of widely-used instruments are
discussed. The monograph also outlines a variety of clinic-level
interventions, potential community-based resources, and
opportunities for clinical-community partnerships to improve
families' food access and security. Further, contributors provide
workable plans for large-scale advocacy through greater engagement
with professional and community resources as well as policymakers.
The monograph concludes with an outline of the critical steps to
implement a food insecurity screening process and the key
components to train the next generation of provider-advocates.
Included in the coverage: Epidemiology and pathophysiology of food
insecurity Screening tools and training Scope of interventions to
address food insecurity Creation and evaluation of the impact of
food insecurity-focused clinical-community partnerships on patients
and populations Development of an action plan to fight food
insecurity Identifying and Addressing Childhood Food Insecurity in
Healthcare and Community Settings will find an engaged audience
among physicians and other clinicians who want to address food
insecurity in their healthcare and/or community setting.
Institutions that are starting to address social determinants of
health, including food insecurity, will find guidance on screening
tools, processes and evaluation of impact.

Der Autor zeigt in diesem Buch auf, was sich hinter dem Begriff der
Integrierten Versorgung verbirgt und warum die Teilnahme an der
Integrierten Versorgung und insbesondere die Gr ndung von
Medizinischen Versorgungzentren f r Krankenh user angesichts der
schwierigen betriebswirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen im deutschen
Gesundheitswesen in Zukunft eine Notwendigkeit darstellt, um
berleben zu k nnen. Er verdeutlicht eindr cklich, warum in diesem
Zusammenhang gerade die dem Managed-Care-Ansatz entlehnte
Integrierte Versorgung neue Chancen und Perspektiven f r Krankenh
user bietet und welche Erfolgsfaktoren" f r eine gelungene
Umsetzung unbedingt notwendig sind. Zwei Beispiele aus der Praxis
verdeutlichen hier, wie solch eine Umsetzung konkret aussehen kann.
Da die mit der Integrierten Versorgung einhergehenden Ver nderungen
nicht ohne Folgen f r die F hrungsebene und die Mitarbeiterinnen
und Mitarbeiter bleiben, verdeutlicht der Autor im Verlauf des
Buches auch die besondere Relevanz f r das Krankenhausmanagement
und die Profession der Pflege. Am Ende des Buches werden neben
aller Euphorie" und positiver Aspekte auch die kritischen Seiten
und ethischen Spannungsfelder dieser neuen Versorgungsform
aufgezeigt. Denn trotz aller Hochgef hle" bedarf es immer wieder
einer kritischen Begutachtung, um m glichen Fehlentwicklungen
rechtzeitig vorbeugen oder entgegen lenken zu k nnen. John Kenneth
Gailbraith, ein bekannter amerikanischer Wirtschaftsprofessor
bemerkte dazu treffend: "Die Deutschen neigen in Ihrer grenzenlosen
Bewunderung der USA dazu, die Vorz ge ihrer sozialen
Marktwirtschaft herunterzuspielen. Doch sollten sie sich davor h
ten, blindlings alles zu kopieren, was aus Amerika kommt."

Impacts of Karst, co-sponsored by the Geo-Institute, National
Groundwater Association, and P.E. LaMoreaux and Associates, Inc.
Karst terrain presents unique engineering and environmental
problems. The top rock is highly irregular and the rock itself is
often riddled with voids, creating unreliable foundation
conditions. Precipitation drains down the rock rather than running
off over the surface and erodes the surficial sediments downward,
causing sinkhole collapse and ground settlement. Groundwater moves
rapidly through dissolved drainage channels in the rock resulting
in a turbulent flow, which allows pollutants to be transported
great distances very quickly. Traditional groundwater quality
monitoring systems as required by many regulations are inapplicable
in karst terrains and may fail to detect contaminants. The unique
set of problems requires new and innovative techniques developed by
engineers and scientists from all over North America, Europe, Asia,
and the Middle East. They have contributed their expertise to this
conference: the world's leading forum on new developments and
cutting-edge technologies for avoiding and solving these problems
in karst. The conference was held September 6 through 10, 2003, in
Huntsville, Alabama, USA.
