Governments, big business and communities are coming under
increased pressure to develop low carbon energy supply
technologies. Within the context of the climate change debate a
delicate balance has to be reached between local environmental
protection and our need for reliable low carbon energy. This books
brings together ten years of research conducted by the Tyndall
Centre for Climate Change Research and uses a range of case studies
from carbon capture and storage to on-shore wind farms to explore
the complex nature of disputes between a wide variety of
stakeholder groups. Topics covered include: the importance of
context the relationship between risk and trust sense of place role
of the media An invaluable resource for researchers and readers in
local or national government, industry or community groups who wish
to deepen their understanding of controversy around low carbon
technology and how to overcome it.
This book focuses on the recent trends in micro- and
nano-structured polymer systems, particularly natural polymers,
biopolymers, biomaterials, and their composites, blends, and IPNs.
This valuable volume covers the occurrence, synthesis, isolation,
production, properties and applications, modification, as well as
the relevant analysis techniques to reveal the structures and
properties of polymer systems. Biobased polymer blends and
composites occupy a unique position in the dynamic world of new
biomaterials. The growing need for lubricious coatings and surfaces
in medical devices-an outcome of the move from invasive to
noninvasive medicines and procedures-is playing a major role in the
advancement of biomaterials technology. Natural polymers have
attained their cutting-edge technology through various platforms,
and this book presents a multitude of information about them.
Topics include biopolymer-synthetic systems, nanomaterial-polymer
structures, multi-characterization techniques, polymer blends and
composites, polymer gels and polyelectrolytes, and many other
interesting aspects of interests to researchers. This book will be
valuable to scientists, physicians, pharmacists, engineers, and
other specialists in a variety of disciplines, both academic and
industrial.
Inclusive Character Analysis foregrounds representations of race,
gender, class, ability, and sexual orientation by blending script
analysis with a variety of critical theories in order to create a
more inclusive performance practice for the classroom and the
stage. This book merges a traditional Stanislavski-based script
analysis with multiple theoretical frameworks, such as gender
theory, standpoint theory, and critical race theory, to give
students in early level theatre courses foundational skills for
analyzing a play, while also introducing them to contemporary
thought about race, gender, and identity. Inclusive Character
Analysis is a valuable resource for beginning acting courses,
script analysis courses, the directing classroom, early design
curriculum, dramaturgical explorations, the playwriting classroom,
and introduction to performance studies classes. Additionally, the
book offers a reader-style background on theoretical frames for
performance faculty and practitioners who may need assistance to
integrate non-performance centered theory into their classrooms.

What is a flash fiction called in other countries? In Latin America
it is a micro, in Denmark kortprosa, in Bulgaria mikro razkaz.
These short shorts, usually no more than 750 words, range from
linear narratives to the more unusual: stories based on
mathematical forms, a paragraph-length novel, a scientific report
on volcanic fireflies that proliferate in nightclubs. Flash has
always and everywhere been a form of experiment, of possibility. A
new entry in the lauded Flash and Sudden Fiction anthologies, this
collection includes 83 of the most beautiful, provocative, and
moving narratives by authors from six continents, including
best-selling writer Etgar Keret, Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah,
Korean screenwriter Kim Young-ha, Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw
Milosz, and Argentinian Queen of the Microstory Ana Maria Shua,
among many others. These brilliantly chosen stories challenge
readers to widen their vision and celebrate both the local and the
universal."

Design and Applications of Nanostructured Polymer Blend and
Nanocomposite Systems offers readers an intelligent, thorough
introduction to the design and applications of this new generation
of designer polymers with customized properties. The book assembles
and covers, in a unified way, the state-of-the-art developments of
this less explored type of material. With a focus on nanostructured
polymer blends, the book discusses the science of nanostructure
formation and the potential performance benefits of nanostructured
polymer blends and composites for applications across many sectors:
electronics, coatings, adhesives, energy (photovoltaics),
aerospace, automotive, and medical devices (biocompatible
polymers). The book also describes the design, morphology, and
structure of nanostructured polymer composites and blends to
achieve specific properties.

All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early
life. In 'Vortex', Clark (Tom Welling) rescues Lana (Kristin Kreuk)
from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.
The work edited is a volume printed c. 1675-1680 with incipit:
Psalterium dispositum per annum, It represents a private initiative
by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the finance minister of Louis XIV, for
use in his household. Compiled chiefly by the abbe Jean Gallois
(1632-1707), it has affinities with the breviary of Cardinal
Quinonez in some of its principles, though it is by no means a copy
of Quinonez's work. It also owed much to the Paris Breviary of
1680, to the preparatory material of which Colbert's position
presumably gave him access.
