Sommario/riassunto |
|
Since 1989, more than 165,000 children have been adopted by American parents. Every indication suggests that this number will increase in the years to come. Many of these children arrive with complex medical and behavioural problems. These children require specialized medical attention to help them get well and adjust to their new lives and surroundings.The Handbook of International Adoption Medicine presents an overview of the medical and developmental issues that affect internationally adopted children, offering guidelines for families and physicians before, during, and after adoption. Laurie Miller has comprehensively researched these topics and also draws from over fifteen years of experience in international adoption and orphanages throughout the world. This book shows how to advise families prior to an international adoption, how to perform an effective initial screening assessment of the newly arrived child, how to manage common behaviour problems, and how to recognize and manage developmental and other more long-term problems as they emerge. Sections cover such subjects as the risks of prenatal exposures, problems in growth and development, infectious diseases, and other medical conditions such as inherited disorders, uncertain age, and precocious puberty. This information has never been available in one place, making the book an invaluable resource for families and professionals in the field of international adoption. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents a comprehensive overview of important issues and topics concerning the combustion and cofiring of biomass and hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia in the power generation sector. In recent years, the energy sector has been responsible for |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Cofiring of coal with agricultural and forestry wastes and low-emissions hydrogen and ammonia could reduce GHG emissions from power plants and may offer a cheaper option to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE). This book provides an updated review of combustion and co-combustion technologies, especially for ammonia and hydrogen cofiring, which includes technical issues, emission reduction, and by-product problems. It goes into an in-depth discussion of hydrogen and ammonia "exclusive" combustion for power generation to reduce CO2 emissions. The content caters to students, academic and industry researchers, and policymakers who are interested in decarbonizing power generation sectors using biomass and hydrogen-based fuels. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book investigates the development of high proton conduction properties free-standing two-dimensional coordination polymer membranes, with the goal of elucidating the mechanical flexibility, proton conduction behavior, and structural characteristics of these materials under varying environmental conditions. The book evaluates the possible uses of these membranes in flexible electronics and energy technologies and thoroughly examines proton conduction mechanisms using an interdisciplinary research approach that combines chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. The most recent scientific developments in novel proton conduction materials are covered, along with preparation and structural characterization procedures and their possible uses in energy, environmental, and electronic technology applications. The research findings presented are extremely important for advancing the creation of clean energy technologies and tackling the problem of climate change. They are also especially relevant given the rising demand for sustainable energy technologies throughout the world. |
