Sommario/riassunto

How did Syria's revolution lose its way? 'My House in Damascus' illuminates the darker recesses not just of Syria's history and politics, but also of its society and secrets. Diana Dark's firsthand experience of Syria's many diverse communities explains why Syria was always a special case and why the Assad regime was never likely to collapse.

Sommario/riassunto

The book gives an overview on the current development status of synthetic diamond films and their applications. Its initial part is devoted to discuss the different types of conductive diamond electrodes that have been synthesized, their preparation methods, and their chemical properties and characterization. The electrochemical properties of diamond films in different scientific areas, with special attention in electroanalysis, are further described. Different strategies to modify these electrodes are also discussed as important technologies with



ability to change their electrochemical charac
