Nota di contenuto

Are species constructs of the human mind? -- Why is there a species problem? -- Is the biological species a class or is it an individual? -- What are traits in taxonomy? -- Diversity within the species : polymorphisms and the polytypic species -- Biological species as gene-flow community -- The cohesion of organisms through genealogical lineage (cladistics) -- Outlook.

Sommario/riassunto

The species problem (the two questions, do species exist and, if yes, according to what criteria do two individuals belong to the same species) is one of the oldest questions in biology. Darwin's 'Origin of the Species' was - and still is - one of the most comprehensive answers to this problem. However, even Darwin's work cannot satisfactorily explain many of the speciation questions. Over the years, many concurrent taxonomic systems have evolved each of them particularly well suited for the speciation of certain groups of organisms but all of them fail to provide a universal answer to all questions relating to speciation. Do Species Exist? is a readily comprehensible guide for a wide audience of biologists, field taxonomists and philosophers, giving an excellent overview of the species problem without delving into the



many feuds between the different schools of taxonomy.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest hydrogen storage and transportation technologies. Starting with fundamental principles and research frontiers, the book introduces the state-of-the-art technologies in the storage and transportation using high-pressure compressed hydrogen, cryogenics and liquid hydrogen, hydrogen rich liquid compounds and solid-state hydrogen storage materials. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented for each approach. The book also aims to provide hands-on tutorial for professionals and students to work in the fields of hydrogen energy and hydrogen related industries. This book is a valuable primer for professionals in the energy, materials science, chemistry and automotive industry. It is especially useful for those who are engaged in hydrogen production, storage, transportation and utilization. Covering low carbon technologies and carbon footprint as well, this book can also serve as a reference for teachers and students majoring in clean energy and functional materials in colleges and universities. The basis of English translation of this book, originally in Chinese, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later revised by the author for accuracy.
