Metal-Organic Frameworks in Analytical Sample Preparation and Sensing presents all the areas of applications of metal-organic frameworks in analytical sample preparation, including their use as sorbents in miniaturized-extraction procedures and as components in sensors. The book also provides important information about the synthesis and characterization of these materials, with useful tips written by experts on the subject with respect to their conditioning, handling and recycling. Their outstanding properties, adsorptive capabilities and structural diversity are also highlighted, thus helping experts in the field select the proper metal-organic framework for a particular analytical application. Metal-organic frameworks are crystalline coordination polymers with robust and stable crystal structures, high synthetic tuneability, and interesting properties for use in analytical applications.

The complex nature of industrial design, which combines functional and aesthetic elements, allows different modes of protection: cumulative, separate or partially overlapping regimes are applicable according to different legal systems. The legal framework is rapidly changing, especially in Europe where the principle of cumulation of a special sui generis regime for protecting industrial design with copyright rules has been established. In the last decade, national courts of some Member States conferred to the "cumulative regime" a peculiar meaning, other courts enforced design rights in line with the interpretation given by the Court of Justice of the EU. The copyright/design interface is presented here to a wider, non-specialist audience, taking as a starting point the notion of industrial design derived from design studies, on the border between art and science.

The motivation for this thesis was to find, by a literature review, determinants that could show if the concept mass customization can be used successfully to implement the individualized printed newspaper. With the individualized newspaper, newspaper companies can address developments in their business environment which have lead to a significant decline in their readership. The individualized newspaper is in a new approach which provides the opportunity for publishers to counter that decline, and potentially create new sources of income. It follows the slogan of editors in the 70s, "Give readers what they want" (Gladney, 1996). But in the 70s this was not possible due to a lack of visionary thinking and concepts, plus the unavailability of appropriate technology. It took almost three decades for the digital printing technologies and information and communication systems to reach a sufficient level of maturity to break through these barriers. Concurrent with the technological evolution the concept of "Mass Customization" was developed. This describes a method which enables companies to offer individual products or services to the masses. The subject of this thesis has been to investigate the opportunity of using the concept of "Mass Customization" to bring to fruition the individualized newspaper as a tangible product.
