The Bambara groundnut (BGN) or Vigna subterranea is an extremely hardy grain legume. As it produces reasonable yields even under conditions of drought and low soil fertility, it is also a climate-smart crop. Previously underutilized, BGN is the subject of growing interest among researchers and consumers for its balanced nutritional profile. Indigenous consumers of BGN report medicinal benefits from the plant; however, such knowledge is at risk of being lost with the urbanization and changing lifestyles of younger generations. To date, there is no comprehensive resource on the Bambara groundnut, despite market demand for plant proteins around the globe. Authored by scientists who have researched and developed patents using BGN, Bambara Groundnut: Utilization and Future Prospects aims to fill this gap. The text provides in-depth coverage on breeding, food and feed utilization, medicinal benefits and future research prospects. Drawing on both indigenous knowledge and cutting-edge research, Bambara Groundnut is the first book to fully explore the potential of this remarkable crop.

Chinese and Japanese trade unions may seem emasculated and weak when compared with their Western counterparts in that they do not stand up to management to protect the interests of workers. The author's analysis in this text probes the reasons for this difference, tearing down stereotypical notions about societies with a Confucian heritage, to examine the significant role of law in shaping industrial relations in modern China and Japan. Through a comparative analysis of their trade union laws, this work analyzes the role of law in shaping postwar industrial relations in China and Japan and the interplay amongst such elements as the State or the Party, management, and workers. The work focuses on industrial relations in commercial and industrial enterprises, addressing such issues as the performance or nonperformance of trade unions in China and Japan and possible explanations, and the prospects and limitations of using codified laws to effect change or control in the postwar industrial settings of these two countries. The work's features include: a comparative approach; the use of case studies to maximize objectivity and insight; a unified and clearly expressed thesis and conclusions including a summary of findings; footnotes and cross references; and concise explanations of the relevant legal provisions and the manner in which they have been applied. This work enables academics and international labour law practitioners to understand industrial relations in these two countries in light of their own particular circumstances, to ascertain whether their trade unions have fulfilled their role as representatives of workers, and to evaluate the efficacy of law as an agent of social change and/or social control. The book also seeks to achieve a broader purpose: breaking through stereotypes of East Asian peoples to promote international understanding, generate thought-provoking issues and insights, and stimulate more research.

This book examines how law functions in a multitude of facets and dimensions. The contributions shed light on the study of comparative law in legal scholarship, the relevance of comparative law in legal practice, and the importance of comparative law in legal education. The book will particularly appeal to those engaged in the teaching and scholarship of comparative law, and those seeking to uncover the various significant dimensions of the workings of law. The book is organised in three parts. Part I addresses scholarship, with contributors examining comparative legal issues as critique and from a theoretical framework. Part II outlines practice, with contributors discussing the function of comparative law in such comparatively diverse areas as international arbitration, environment, and the rule of law. Part III appraises comparative law in education.

El Mega Miedo nos ata e a todos. Tememos a lo incierto, aunque m s a n a la nica e indubitable gran certeza: la Muerte, que necesariamente ha de ocurrir alg n d a. Cu ndo? C mo? C mo Enfrentarla? Por qu si es una cuesti n tan Natural? Parece no serlo en absoluto Afecta el Miedo Inconsciente a la Muerte- al Comportamiento Humano? De que Modos? Existen los or genes "Org nicos" causales del Caos Mundial Actual? Estas cuestiones constituyen el meollo de las reflexiones que se hace el autor y que nos invita a compartir. En un lenguaje llano y directo o aborda los problemas actuales que amenazan la permanencia de nuestra especie sobre esta nave errante en la vastedad inmensurable del universo y que llamamos Tierra. La concentraci n humana en absurdas y ca ticas megal polis, la ingente poluci n en variadas formas, el cambio clim tico, la creciente violencia en el mundo, la omnipresente amenaza nuclear, el aumento del desempleo y la pobreza, la falta de respeto a la madre Natura, la creciente desigualdad econ mica y social que recorre el planeta. En fin, la especie humana vive un momento hist rico in dito que requiere de medidas urgentes y en las cuales todos debemos participar. o, preocupado por la actual situaci n mundial da la voz de alerta, nos convoca a tomar conciencia, reflexionar juntos y actuar en consecuencia, unitariamente. Involucr monos y compromet monos a la acci n ya pues no podemos perder m s el tiempo. Todos y cada uno de nosotros viajamos en la misma embarcaci n en que la Humanidad esta a punto de sucumbir.

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is a crop native to the Bambara tribe of Mali and is grown as a subsistence crop in Africa. Recent advances in research, however, have brought the crop to the forefront of the sustainable agriculture movement. The Bambara plant is highly drought tolerant and rich in protein and carbohydrates, including starch. These macromolecules have enormous industrial potentials. For example, the starch in Bambara grain has been found to exhibit higher (double) viscosity than conventional corn starch. Modified Bambara groundnut starch has been used to produce edible bioplastics that could be upgraded industrially to suit the fourth industrial revolution shift. Bambara plants are also a natural source of soluble fiber, which is gluten-, lactose- and cholesterol-free, with potential as a stabiliser, thickener and gelling agent as well as a cryoprotectant in frozen products. The health benefits include lowering of cholesterol levels, levelling of blood glucose and as a detoxing aid. Furthermore, several researchers have explored the grain either alone or as composite with cereal and tubers for the development of value-added products. Food and Potential Industrial Applications of Bambara Groundnut presents in a clear, coherent way the research findings on Bambara grain and its status as a promising food and industrial crop.

Geochemical barrier zones play an important role in determining various physical systems and characteristics of the oceans, e.g. hydrodynamics, salinity, temperature and light. In this book, each of the 40 barrier zones covered are illustrated and defined by physical-chemical parameters. Among the topics discussed are the processes of inflow, transformation and precipitation of the sedimentary layer of the open oceans and more restricted areas such as the Baltic, Black and Mediterranean Seas. This well-illustrated book may serve as the basis for courses such as "Marine Geochemistry" or "Ocean Usage" and can be useful to researchers in the fields of geology, geography, marine chemistry, geoecology and hydrochemistry.

In this book the process of decoherence is reviewed from both the theoretical and the experimental physicist's point of view. Implications of this important concept for fundamental problems of quantum theory and for chemistry and biology are also given. This broad review of decoherence addresses researchers and graduate students. It could also be used in seminar work.

This book tackles the question of the symbolic structure of physics, a topic which is implicit in any theory of knowledge, but one that often seems to be ignored as an explicit and central element in today's epistemological debates. The elucidation of this problem should benefit a number of ongoing discussions and can help to avoid much recurring confusion. The contributions to the book have been chosen so as to provide a coherent view, ultimately addressing the relation between the concepts used in science and the real world. The first part provides an introduction to the problem as it arises in physics, and to the modern history of symbols. The subject of the second part is the epistemological discussion taking place between physicists and philosophers about the role of symbols in our knowledge of Nature. The third part addresses key issues related to the methodology of physics and the character of its symbolic structures. The aim of this book is to provide a consistent,

The Mega Fear affects us all. We fear the unknown, but more so to the unique and indubitable great certainty: Death, which necessarily has to happen someday. When? How? How to face it? Why if it is a Natural question? It seems not to be at all Does the unconscious fear to Death affects- human behavior? In which ways? Do the "Organic origins " as a cause of the Current World Chaos? These questions form at the heart of the refl ections that the author is inviting us to share. In plain and direct language IO tackles the current problems that threaten our species permanence on this errant ship in the universe's immeasurable vastness and which we call Earth. The concentration of people in absurd and chaotic megalopolis, the massive pollution in various forms, climate change, the increasing violence in the world, the omnipresent nuclear threat, the unemployment increase and poverty, the lack of respect for Mother Nature, the growing economic and social inequality that covers the planet. In short, the human species lives an unprecedented historic moment that urgently needs and in which we all should participate. IO, concerned about the current world situation gives the alarm voice, calls us to be conscious, to refl ect together and to act as a consequence, unitarily. Let's get involved and commit to action NOW Because we can't waste time anymore. Each and every one of us travel in the same boat in which Humanity is on the verge of collapse. Anton-io

Progress in multilateral negotiations to liberalize trade under the World Trade Organization (WTO) has become more difficult since newer members are generally developing countries with different interests than the United States, the European Union and other industrialized countries. More than 250 free trade agreements (FTAs) have come into effect since 1948. Partly as a result of the WTO impasse, over 130 FTAs have been ratified just in the past ten years; each agreement has been designed to eliminate trade restrictions and subsidies between the parties involved. Almost all of the WTO Members participate in one or more FTAs (some Members are party to twenty or more). Most books on FTAs are country- or region-specific, while others deal with the subject from a particular perspective. This timely work -- produced by some of the world's leading experts in their respective fields -- employs a broader approach exploring FTAs from the interdisciplinary perspectives of international law, political economy, culture and human rights.
