Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Seed inoculation is the practice of effectively introducing a high number of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium) on the surface of legume seeds prior to planting. The bacteria penetrates the root resulting in the formation of root nodules that fix nitrogen from the air and make it readily available to the plant. This book describes the need the development and the use of rhizobia and how this process may be reproduced successfully around the world especially in underdeveloped agricultural countries. | Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

The second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy co-edited by two leading scholars in the international relations subfield of public diplomacy includes 16 more chapters from the first. Ten years later a new global landscape of public diplomacy has taken shape with major programs in graduate-level public diplomacy studies worldwide. What separates this handbook from others is its legacy and continuity from the first edition. This first edition line-up was more military-focused than this edition a nod to the work of Philip M. Taylor to whom this updated edition is dedicated. This edition includes US content but all case studies are outside the United States not only to appeal to a global audience of scholars and practitioners but also as a way of offering something fresher than the US/UK-centric competition. In Parts 1–4 original contributors are retained many with revised editions but new faces emerge. Parts 5 and 6 include 16 global case studies in public diplomacy expanding the number of contributors by ten. The concluding part of the book includes chapters on digital and corporate public diplomacy and a signature final chapter on the noosphere and noopolitik as they relate to public diplomacy. Designed for a broad audience the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy is encyclopedic in its range and depth of content yet is written in an accessible style that will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

While many students parents educators and organizations who hire their graduates hold US universities in high regard the cost of higher education has risen much faster than the rate of inflation. High costs in turn have severely limited access to higher education for large portions of the US population or caused graduates and those who fall short of graduation to face substantial student loan debt. This book examines the root causes of these underlying problems and offers a comprehensive easy-to-understand high-impact solution. The book identifies actions that improve higher education outcomes including lower tuition costs better access for student from low and middle income homes faster throughput fewer dropouts and better job opportunities for graduates. It links a real and implementable solution to the underlying problems and their root causes. Upon finishing this book readers should understand why the performance of higher education needs to improve and have solid ideas about how to fix it. The book focuses on public universities but the ideas discussed are also applicable to private for-profit and not-for-profit universities. The writing style is simple and direct. | Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

Aviation and Human Factors How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field

Air safety is right now at a point where the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are far lower than the chances to winning a jackpot in any of the major lotteries. However keeping or improving that performance level requires a critical analysis of some events that despite scarce point to structural failures in the learning process. The effect of these failures could increase soon if there is not a clear and right development path. This book tries to identify what is wrong why there are things to fix and some human factors principles to keep in aircraft design and operations. FeaturesShows through different events how the system learns through technology practices and regulations and the pitfalls of that learning processDiscusses the use of information technology in safety-critical environments and why procedural knowledge is not enoughPresents air safety management as a successful process but at the same time failures coming from technological and organizational features are shownOffers ways to improve from the human factors side by getting the right lessons from recent events | Aviation and Human Factors How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field

Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are extensively used in industry to perform automation tasks with manufacturers offering a variety of PLCs that differ in functions program memories and the number of inputs/outputs (I/O). Not surprisingly the design and implementation of these PLCs have long been a secret of manufacturers. Unveiling the mysteries of PLC technology Building a Programmable Logic Controller with PIC16F648A Microcontroller explains how to design and use a PIC16F648A-microcontroller-based PLC. The author first described a microcontroller-based implementation of a PLC in a series of articles published in Electronics World magazine between 2008 and 2010. This book is based on an improved version of the project including:Updates to the hardware configuration with a smaller CPU board and two I/O extension boards that now support 16 inputs and 16 outputs instead of 8An increased clock frequency of 20 MHzImprovements to several macrosFlowcharts to help you understand the macros (functions)In this book the author provides detailed explanations of hardware and software structures. He also describes PIC Assembly macros for all basic PLC functions which are illustrated with numerous examples and flowcharts. An accompanying downloadable resources contain source files (. ASM) and object files (. HEX) for all of the examples in the book. It also supplies printed circuit board (PCB) (Gerber and . pdf) files so that you can have the CPU board and I/O extension boards produced by a PCB manufacturer or produce your own boards. Making PLCs more easily accessible this unique book is written for advanced students practicing engineers and hobbyists who want to learn how to build their own microcontroller-based PLC. It assumes some previous knowledge of digital logic design microcontrollers and PLCs as well as familiarity with the PIC16F series of microcontrollers and w | Building a Programmable Logic Controller with a PIC16F648A Microcontroller

War and Intervention in the Transnational Public Sphere Problem-solving and European identity-formation

War and Intervention in the Transnational Public Sphere Problem-solving and European identity-formation

The post-Cold War era saw an unexpected increase in intra-state violence against ethnic and religious groups brutal civil wars and asymmetric conflicts. Those crises posed fundamental questions for the European Union and its member states to which Europe has so far proven unable to develop satisfactory answers. This book contends that public debates over wars and humanitarian military interventions after the Cold War represent an evolving process of comprehension and collective interpretation of new realities. Employing innovative computer-linguistic methods it examines the dynamics of this debate across Europe and compares it to that of the United States. In doing so it argues that transnational political communication has shaped European identity-formation in significant ways and that in trying to come to terms with important crises and institutional events shared understandings of Europe have emerged. Looking at evidence from a wide range of countries including Austria France Germany Ireland the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and spanning a continuous period of 16 years this book empirically analyses these shared understandings of the EU as a problem-solving and ethical community. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations EU politics security studies comparative politics political communication and European integration. | War and Intervention in the Transnational Public Sphere Problem-solving and European identity-formation
