The doctrine of Direct Effect is an issue of importance to all those concerned with, or affected by the implementation of European Union directives. The doctrine of Direct Effect bestows responsibility for the implementation of directives on individual regulators, even if the member state itself has not made full arrangements for implementation. This text considers the doctrine with particular regard to the regulation of the discharge of dangerous substances to the aquatic environment in England and Wales. It contains an analysis of the evolution, applications and implications of Direct Effect.;A range of cases are studied, allowing the reader to realize the scope of this important doctrine. This book explores an area of European Law that should be understood by all those involved in the regulation of the discharge of dangerous substances.

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics presents comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. The text provides a thorough exposition of the principles of thermodynamics and details their application to chemical processes. The chapters are written in a clear, logically organized manner, and contain an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to help students understand complex concepts. This text is structured to alternate between the development of thermodynamic principles and the correlation and use of thermodynamic properties as well as between theory and applications. To enhance student reading, the ninth edition now includes SmartBook (R) 2.0. SmartBook 2.0-Our adaptive reading experience has been made more personal, accessible, productive, and mobile.

The Volume on Advances in Steiner Trees is divided into two sections. The first section of the book includes papers on the general geometric Steiner tree problem in the plane and higher dimensions. The second section of the book includes papers on the Steiner problem on graphs. The general geometric Steiner tree problem assumes that you have a given set of points in some d-dimensional space and you wish to connect the given points with the shortest network possible. The given set ofpoints are 3 Figure 1: Euclidean Steiner Problem in E usually referred to as terminals and the set ofpoints that may be added to reduce the overall length of the network are referred to as Steiner points. What makes the problem difficult is that we do not know a priori the location and cardinality ofthe number ofSteiner points. Thus)the problem on the Euclidean metric is not known to be in NP and has not been shown to be NP-Complete. It is thus a very difficult NP-Hard problem.

"When Jesus comes to rapture the Church, you don't want to be left behind, do you " The idea of believers disappearing from the earth in "the twinkle of an eye" in order to escape the "Great Tribulation" is one that has captivated the imaginations of many Christians over the past 150 years now. Multimillion dollar book, TV, video game and movie franchises have been constructed around this very concept. But is it what the Bible actually teaches? In this "Dojo Discussions" edition, JM Smith looks at various issues surrounding popular End Times teachings which many Christians take for granted to be solid, orthodox, Biblical teaching...with surprising results. Could it be that when it comes to the return of Jesus, you actually WANT to be 'left behind'

Erik is alone in the world, living in the darkness beneath the opera house, hiding his shameful existence from human eyes. He longs to reach out to an angel, but fears she would see him as nothing more than a monster. Yet when a surprise visitor lands on the shores of his underground lake, he is forced to rethink everything he has ever believed to be true. In the end, will either of their lives ever be the same again-and would they want them to be? The Secret Door is the first endeavor of novelist J.M. Smith. It leads the reader through a mysterious, often funny, journey through space and time, and illustrates the transformative power of love
