Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book presents guidelines for the design, operation and
monitoring of CO2 injection in fractured carbonates, with low
permeability in the rock matrix, for geological storage in
permanent trapping. CO2 migration is dominated by fractures in
formations where the hydrodynamic and geochemical effects induced
by the injection play a key role influencing the reservoir
behavior. CO2 injection in these rocks shows specific
characteristics that are different to injection in porous media, as
the results from several research studies worldwide reveal. All
aspects of a project of this type are discussed in this text, from
the drilling to the injection, as well as support works like well
logging, laboratory and field tests, modeling, and risk assessment.
Examples are provided, lesson learned is detailed, and conclusions
are drawn. This work is derived from the experience of
international research teams and particularly from that gained
during the design, construction and operation of Hontomin
Technology Development Plant. Hontomin research pilot is currently
the only active onshore injection site in the European Union,
operated by Fundacion Ciudad de la Energia-CIUDEN F.S.P. and
recognized by the European Parliament as a key test facility. The
authors provide guidelines and tools to enable readers to find
solutions to their problems. The book covers activities relevant to
a wide range of practitioners involved in reservoir exploration,
modeling, site operation and monitoring. Fluid injection in
fractured media shows specific features that are different than
injection in porous media, influencing the reservoir behavior and
defining conditions for safe and efficient operation. Therefore,
this book is also useful to professionals working on oil & gas,
hydrogeology and geothermal projects, and in general for those
whose work is related to activities using fluid injection in the
ground.
Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Industrial
Engineering and Industrial Management and the XVI Congreso de
Ingenieria de Organizacion (CIO 2012). The aim of CIO is to
establish a forum for the open and free exchange of ideas, opinions
and academic experiences about research, technology transfer or
successful business experiences in the field of Industrial
Engineering. The CIO 2012 is an annual meeting promoted by
"Asociacion para el Desarrollo de la Ingenieria de Organizacion"
(Industrial Engineers Association, ADINGOR) with a Scientific
Committee composed of 61 international referees and more than 200
professionals from 7 countries. A selection of the lectures and
presentations made over three days by researchers and practitioners
from different countries are presented here. A range of topics is
covered including: A selection of the lectures and presentations
made over three days by researchers and practitioners from
different countries are presented here. A range of topics is
covered including:* Business Administration & Economic
Environment * Technological & Organizational Innovation *
Logistics & Supply Chain Management * Production &
Operations Management * Management Systems & Sustainability The
conference in Industrial Engineering (CIO) and its proceedings are
an excellent platform for the dissemination of the outputs of the
scientific projects developed in the frame of the International
Research and Development plans.
Strategic Networks examines the new style of industrial
co-ordination which enables independent companies to work so
closely together that they can sometimes present a 'single face' to
the outside world. Co-ordination is not achieved by mergers and
acquisitions, but through the creation of a 'strategic network' of
companies working towards the same goals. Based on the author's
extensive research, the book first analyses the economic arguments
for industry co-ordination, and suggests in which industries it is
most likely to occur. The second part of the book focuses on *
managerial implications for this type of organization * impact on
responsibilties * control without ownership * co-operation instead
of competition * how to set up alliances and how to maintain them A
wide range of international examples and cases are featured in the
book. J. Carlos Jarillo is Professor of Strategy at the University
of Geneva (previously Professor of General Management and
International Strategy at IMD, Switzerland). His research on
strategy has been widely published in more than two dozen articles
and books. He also acts as senior adviser to a large number of
international corporations.

Medicinal Chemistry of Anticancer Drugs, Third Edition provides an
updated resource for students and researchers from the
point-of-view of medicinal chemistry and drug design, focusing on
the mechanism of action of antitumor drugs from the molecular
level, and on the relationship between chemical structure and
chemical and biochemical reactivity of antitumor agents. The new
edition includes updated sections on the hot topic of cancer
immunotherapy, cancer polypharmacology, multitargeted cancer
therapy, medicinal chemistry of cancer diagnosis, theragnostic
anticancer agents, and pre-mRNA processing in cancer. Although many
books are available that deal with clinical aspects of cancer
chemotherapy, this book provides a unique and valuable perspective
from the point-of-view of medicinal chemistry and drug design. It
will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of
medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biological chemistry, pharmacy
and other health sciences. Researchers and practitioners will find
a comprehensive treatment of the topic and a large number of
references, reviews and primary literature.

Medicinal Chemistry of Anticancer Drugs, Second Edition, provides
an updated treatment from the point of view of medicinal chemistry
and drug design, focusing on the mechanism of action of antitumor
drugs from the molecular level, and on the relationship between
chemical structure and chemical and biochemical reactivity of
antitumor agents. Antitumor chemotherapy is a very active field of
research, and a huge amount of information on the topic is
generated every year. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is gradually being
supplemented by a new generation of drugs that recognize specific
targets on the surface or inside cancer cells, and resistance to
antitumor drugs continues to be investigated. While these therapies
are in their infancy, they hold promise of more effective therapies
with fewer side effects. Although many books are available that
deal with clinical aspects of cancer chemotherapy, this book
provides a sorely needed update from the point of view of medicinal
chemistry and drug design.

A philosophical & inspirational view of some ultimate questions
regarding human existence and the nature of the universe. A
majority of the book takes an aphoristic approach in presenting
life's deeper questions of existence and the views of some of the
best minds on the subject. Its underlying premise is that the
answers to the larger questions of existence transcend
materialistic rationalism's "linear thinking" and are best
approached in the non-linearity of myth and poetry as was
originally formulated at the roots of our western civilization and
that these insights arose from a "wise silence" that lies at the
roots of our being.
