BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF DAMPING OFF PATHOGENS BY TREATING SUGAR BEET SEED WITH A POWDERY PREPARATION O...

In 1972, J.T.P. Yao introduced the modern control theory into vibration control of civil

structures (Yao, 1972), which started the new era of research on structural active control in

civil engineering field. During the development of nearly 40 years, Active Mass

Why do people in general and business managers in particular need to plan ahead? What are the side effects of not planning?

No one wants to think about a time when you have to face with difficulties. So planning ahead for this possibility often gets put off. Your options are often li[r]

Forecasting is important – forecasts are constantly made in business, finance, economics,government, and many other fields, and much depends upon them. As with anything else, thereare good and bad ways to forecast. This book is about the good ways – modern, quantitative,statisti[r]

Since the last few decades, human beings are experiencing the era of globalization and integration. In the current global settings, joining in “global play ground” has been bringing new opportunities and challenges for Vietnam.

In 1997 the authors of this book, J. Machowski, J.W. Bialek and J.R. Bumby, published a book entitled Power System Dynamics and Stability. That book was well received by readers who toldus that it was used regularly as a standard reference text both in academia and in industry. Some 10 years after p[r]

The physical absorption process for adsorbents and heavy metal ions in wateroften occurs by electrostatic attraction between these metal ions and the absorptionsites on the adsorbent surface. This connection is usually weak and unstable. However,because of w[r]

Climate change will affect everyone but developing countries will be hit hardest, soonest and have the least capacity to respond. South East Asia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change with its extensive, heavily populated coastlines, large agricultural sectors and large section[r]

Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip.
