Sommario/riassunto

La rivista pubblica rapporti di ricerca nell'area tecnica definita dall'intersezione tra le discipline della chimica e dell'ingegneria chimica e il dominio di applicazione dell'energia non nucleare e dei combustibili. Ciò include la ricerca diretta alla formazione, esplorazione e produzione di combustibili fossili e biomasse; le proprietà e la struttura o la composizione molecolare sia dei combustibili grezzi che dei prodotti raffinati; la chimica coinvolta nella lavorazione e nell'utilizzo dei combustibili; celle a combustibile e loro applicazioni; e le tecniche analitiche e strumentali utilizzate nelle indagini delle aree precedenti. La ricerca su sostanze diverse dai combustibili il cui obiettivo è chiarire alcuni aspetti della chimica dei combustibili è benvenuta, così come le proposte riguardanti il ​​combustibile fotochimico e la produzione di energia. Le comunicazioni riguardanti l'energia nucleare o esclusivamente l'economia di processo non saranno pubblicate. Le presentazioni incentrate sulla tecnologia dei motori a combustione sono scoraggiate. Sia la ricerca fondamentale che quella applicata sono benvenute.

Residential schools in Canada -- The history -- The school experience -- The legacy -- Reconciliation -- Calls to action.

Sommario/riassunto

"It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer." So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7000 survivor statements and five million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources. A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Research Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, gathers material from the several reports the TRC has produced to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools in a concise and accessible package



that includes new materials to help inform and contextualize the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. Survivor and former National Chief of the Assembly First Nations, Phil Fontaine, provides a Foreword, and an Afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, home to the archive of recordings, and documents collected by the TRC. As Aimée Craft writes in the Afterword, knowing the historical backdrop of residential schooling and its legacy is essential to the work of reconciliation. In the past, agents of the Canadian state knocked on the doors of Indigenous families to take the children to school. Now, the Survivors have shared their truths and knocked back. It is time for Canadians to open the door to mutual understanding, respect, and reconciliation.

Sommario/riassunto

Palaeobiology: A Synthesis was widely acclaimed both for its content and production quality. Ten years on, Derek Briggs and Peter Crowther have once again brought together over 150 leading authorities from around the world to produce Palaeobiology II. Using the same successful formula, the content is arranged as a series of concise articles, taking a thematic approach to the subject, rather than treating the various fossil groups systematically. This entirely new book, with its diversity of new topics and over 100 new contributors, reflects the exciting developments in the field,
