The search for alternative sources of energy to offset diminishing resources of easy and cost-effective fossil fuels has become a global initiative, and fuel generated from biomass is a leading competitor in this arena. Large-scale introduction of biofuels into the energy mix could contribute to environmentally and economicaly sustainable development on a global scale. The processes and methodologies presented in this volume will offer a cutting-edge and comprehensive approach to the production of biofuels, for engineers, researchers, and students.

What makes a good dentist? How will you contribute to our university? Why dentistry? The ability to provide compelling answers in the dental interview to questions like these is the difference between being offered a place and being rejected. The Dentistry interview book is an up-to-date review of the most common questions, with full answers and pointers on what the interviewers are looking for. Described as the 'essential guide', it is a vital resource as part of your preparation. Example question: Consider the case of nine year old Rebecca who comes in to surgery with her parents. This is her first dental visit. She has been kept awake with a painful tooth. Examination shows that she has several decayed teeth and that a lower right primary molar is causing the present pain. Rebecca is crying and climbing out of the dental chair. What is the best way to handle this situation. Clinically Rebecca's case draws on various themes. Without starting your undergraduate training you will not need to know about the clinical implications in detail. However, an understanding of the themes will make you stand out. A common answer is to indicate that some dentists may consider writing a brief referral letter to the local hospital for this tooth to be extracted with a general anaesthetic. The questions that you want to be thinking about clinically are: Can this tooth be restored or does it need extraction? What are the implications if I extract in the future (orthodontically can it have consequences) Does the patient need General Anaesthetic or can this be managed within practice under Local Anaesthetic. Rebecca has other dental needs as stated and has never attended a dentists before, how would I like to manage this to cause her the least upset? All of the above would require consideration of who would be consenting for the patient. In this case at 9 years old, the patient would require a parent or legal guardian to consent for her. 'Gillick Competence' allows for a child up to the age of eighteen to make their own decision regarding their care. However, the dentist must carefully assess that all the criteria for valid consent detailed in question four are present. There is particular emphasis placed on the patient's ability to understand and retain all the information given and communicate their reasoned decision. 'Gillick Competence' will be more relevant for scenarios where the child in question is slightly older. The ethical and legal responsibility to respect children as well as those who support them is essential in establishing strong professional relationships. In this particular situation explaining the options and offering choices will help the parents to make their decisions appropriately after understanding what's on offer, which in turn will increase the likelihood of co-operation, whichever option is finally decided upon. For Example: "The dentist should tell the family about the options and explain how the pain can be controlled with analgesics and a simple dressing. He /she should explain that it may be wise to slowly introduce Rebecca to dental care so that she becomes familiar with the dental environment before starting treatment. In this way he is enforcing the act of beneficence by acting in the patient's best interests and enabling the child's parents to make an informed decision- thereby enabling autonomy" Topics covered: GENERAL POINTS TO CONSIDER TRADITIONAL INTERVIEWS AND MMIS SCIENCE QUESTIONS ETHICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY PERSONAL QUALITIES ABOUT YOU WORK EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION DENTAL & INDUSTRY DENTISTRY IN THE NHS CURRENT A

What makes a good doctor? How will you contribute to our university? Why medicine? What did you learn from your work experience? The ability to provide compelling answers in the medicine interview to questions like these is the difference between being offered a place and being rejected. The Medicine Interview book is an up-to-date (for 2013-2014 applicants) review of the most common questions, with full answers and pointers on what the interviewers are looking for. This book contains over 300 pages of questions, with points to get across and full examples on answering the questions. Example questions: What makes you a good doctor? To answer this question, you need to know what qualities are necessary for a doctor to have. Most medical schools have a list of qualities they expect doctors, and therefore medical students to have. This can usually be found on their school of medicine website or in the prospectus so it is worth having a look through that list. When answering personality-based questions such as this, rather than just listing qualities, pick two or three and provide evidence that you possess these skills. "First and foremost I believe I would be a good doctor because I have a strong interest in both science and people. I have had an interest in science early on at school, and it was this interest that lead to me studying Chemistry and Biology at A level. During Human Biology lessons I found I always wanted to know the reason why things went wrong in the body during disease, and it was this questioning that really fired my interest in the human body. Since I have been old enough to have a job, I have always had a job which involved lots of interaction with the public, especially children. Through both paid and volunteer work I have worked with people of all ages, through my work at a Care home, a nursery nurse assistant, a math's and science tutor, as a waitress and a retail assistant. The aspect I always enjoyed the most was talking to people. I feel my passion for people and for science, twinned with my good communication skills, provide a excellent foundation, which if built upon appropriately would make me a good doctor." What person(s) has had the biggest positive impact on you? This can be a personal question, however, it is a good opportunity to appreciate someone who has either inspired you through their words or actions as a role model, or someone who has directly contributed to your schooling or extra-curricular activities. Highlight the things you have learnt from them or how they have had an impact on your life. Finally, talk about how you have taken it on board or how this impact will develop you as a person. "My coach at my football club, Ridgeway Rovers FC has been one of the most influential people in my life so far. Over the last 2 years playing under his guidance, he has not only help me improved me as a footballer, but also instilled in me some of what he describes as the key values to succeeding in life. This includes hard work and dedication to your craft, making sure you are early to the things you need to be on time to, and finally having the confidence in yourself succeed in the task ahead of you. These are some of the things which I have tried to apply not only to my sporting life, but more importantly to my personal and academic life and have helped me through much of my A levels so far."
