Sommario/riassunto

Criteria for testing methods and technical parameters for geometrical features, physical and chemical properties, and de-nitrogen oxides (DeNO x ) technological properties of power plant DeNO x plate-type catalysts are established in this standard. Scope: This standard establishes criteria for testing methods and technical parameters for geometrical features, physical and chemical properties, and de-nitrogen oxide (DeNOx) technological properties of power plant DeNOx plate-type catalysts Purpose: This standard is developed specifically for power plant DeNOx plate-type catalysts. This standard aims to provide testing methods and technical parameters of plate-type catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst manufacturers, power plants and independent product test organizations. The standard will make it possible for exchange of catalysts produced by different manufacturers, and it will also be a guarantee of catalyst quality.

Sommario/riassunto

With English-medium higher education burgeoning in Europe and elsewhere outside the English-speaking world, this book is the first to offer an ethnographically-embedded analysis of such classroom discourse by taking cognizance of English functioning as a lingua franca (ELF) in international student groups. By virtue of investigating one such educational programme in its entirety, the study also enlarges the present knowledge on ELF discourse as it offers novel insights into the interactional dynamics that shape and develop an educational community of practice.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume provides a definitive assessment of the historiography of the life sciences and medicine in Latin America. It makes historiographic work available for new scholars to join the field and for graduate students and other scholars new to the history of science in Latin America, by means of meaningful and original contributions,.This volume brings transnational analysis to the center of global historiographical discussions. It seeks to contribute both empirically and theoretically to the fields of History of Science and Science and Technology Studies (STS) in Latin America, to account for how the knowledge produced in developing countries is part of international knowledge as it circulates in transnational collaborative networks. The



volume consists of articles written by experienced, expert authors who expose the lines of ongoing research in the history of life sciences and medicine in Latin America in order to provide an overview of the multiplicity of analytic frameworks and perspectives in a way that allows them to be contrasted with each other. Some of the topics discussed include Asymmetrical networks of collaboration, Circulation, Conceptual History, History of Race, Gender and the like, and many more. .

Sommario/riassunto

The EU is struggling to cope with the so-called "migration crisis" that has emerged over the past few years. Designing the right policies to address immigration requires a deep understanding of its root causes. Why do Africans decide to leave their home countries? While the dream of a better life in Europe is likely part of the explanation, one also needs to examine the prevailing living conditions in the large and heterogeneous sub-Saharan region. This Report investigates the actual role of political, economic, demographic and environmental drivers in current migration flows. It offers a comprehensive picture of major migration motives as well as of key trends. Attention is also devoted to the role of climate change in promoting migration and to intra-



continental mobility (two-thirds of sub-Saharan migrant flows start and end within the region). Two country studies on Eritrea and Nigeria are also included to get a closer sense of local developments behind large-scale migration to Europe.
