This book describes the essential characteristics of graphene,
graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and its nanocomposite and
their applications in water and wastewater treatment and other
environmental issues. The book introduces each topic in detail,
discusses the basic principles, and analyzes and summarizes recent
developments in the field. Various topics covered in this book
include role of graphene as a potential material in photocatalytic
organic pollutant degradation, water splitting applications,
capacitive de-ionization techniques, air purification, gas
adsorption, and decontamination of pathogenic microorganisms.
Given the contents, the book is useful for students, researchers,
and professionals working in the area environmental science
and materials, especially graphene oxide, graphene, and
graphene nanocomposite.
This volume contains summaries of most of the invited presentations
at the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Organizing Principles of
Neural Development," held in Povoa de Varzim, Portugal, from June
1-12, 1982. The meeting was intended to bring together a select
group of investigators to present their views on problems in the
field and to foster extensive discussions in smaller groups. It was
hoped that such communications would pique curiousity and
creativity among the students and thus help in formulating
additional hypotheses regarding the type of interactions which
might underlie neural development. Despite the wide range of
material covered at this institute, a common theme seemed to
emerge: at all stages of their develop mental history, the cells of
the nervous system interact with previously generated cells (both
neurons and non-neurons) as well as with other constituents of the
developmental milieu. The pre sentations at this meeting helped in
comprehending how a relatively "simple" series of sequential events
might provide the necessary information needed to generate the
diversity, characteristic of the adult nervous system, without
hypothesizing on the existence of specific genes acting to control
each step."
~he major theme of this book is the development of the vertebrate
central nervous system. ~is volume contains summaries of most of
the invited participants at the NA~ advanced study institute
entitled "Development of central nervous system in vertebrates"
held in Maratea, Italy, from June 23-July 5, 1991. In order to
address this topic, we have drawn upon a selection of current
studies dealing with molecular, cellular and system analysis which
specifically pertain to the general principles of the development.
~he major aim of this institute was to bring together a select
group of investigators who would present their views on the current
issues in their respective fields and to foster extensive
discussions amongst participants in smaller groups. Such
interactions brought together the exchanges of ideas amongst
participants and helped clarify the intricate details and formulate
new vistas and collaborations. Since the study of nervous system
development has focused mostly on the origin of neuron and glia
cells, the area of current research was represented by talks on
early cellular events including effects of growth factors, BOX and
other gene expressions and cell lineage of specific cell type(s).
Formation of specific cell types and the specific neuronal
connections have been a major theme in the study of the nervous
system development. Recent technical advances has resulted in new
information at both cellular and molecular levels which have
provided new details. Current research was represented by
"selective" topics discussed at the meeting.

Metal Oxide Nanostructured Phosphors: Properties and Applications
provides a comprehensive review of recent progress in nanophosphors
and an exploration of their future. Each chapter discusses both
materials synthesis and applications based on the types of
nanostructures and their characteristics, providing a thorough
accounting of the advantages and disadvantages of each material and
process. This book is an excellent resource for both professional
and academic researchers, and is ideal for scientists and engineers
working on optical devices, lighting, display and imaging
technologies, energy materials, and for anyone engaged in research
in photonics, nanoscience, luminescence and optical materials.
Unique sections touch on metal-oxide-based nanostructured
phosphors, covering energy transfer mechanisms, categories,
chemical composition, and more.
