Moreover, it selects only a few topics in favor of a solid and thorough treatment of the relevant aspects. This book comes in a good time, when a large body of academic literature has been accumulated and is waiting for a critical inspection in the light of the real demands of application." Professor Gerhard Wegner, Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany The chapters cover three important fields in the development of functional materials: energy, environment, and biomedical applications. These topics are explained and discussed from both an experimental and a theoretical perspective. Functional organic and inorganic materials are at the center of most technological breakthroughs. Therefore, the understanding of material properties is fundamental to the development of novel functionalities and applications.De Gruyter graduate.Smart materialsTextbooksBiomedical Sciences.Chemical Engineering.Industrial Application.Materials Science.Sustainable Development.Smart materials620.1/12VE 9670rvkLeclerc Mario1961-Gauvin Robert1979-Allard NicolasMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788813303321Functional Materials2176683UNINA04564nam 22008055 450 991029827470332120250609112011.03-319-12994-510.1007/978-3-319-12994-5(CKB)3710000000379449(EBL)2095491(SSID)ssj0001465046(PQKBManifestationID)11935152(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001465046(PQKBWorkID)11458273(PQKB)10002334(DE-He213)978-3-319-12994-5(MiAaPQ)EBC2095491(PPN)184890918(MiAaPQ)EBC3109151(EXLCZ)99371000000037944920150331d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrTrapping of Small Organisms Moving Randomly Principles and Applications to Pest Monitoring and Management /by James R. Miller, Christopher G. Adams, Paul A. Weston, Jeffrey H. Schenker1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (125 p.)SpringerBriefs in Ecology,2192-4759Description based upon print version of record.3-319-12993-7 Includes bibliographical references.Why Care about Small Animals Moving Randomly -- Trap Function and Overview of the Trapping Process -- Random Displacement in the Absence of Cues -- The Geometry of Trap Interceptions -- Interpreting Catch in the Single Trap -- Competing Traps -- Proposed Experimental Method for Measuring C.S.D. of Random Walkers Via a Trapping-Grid -- Trapping to Achieve Pest Control Directly -- Automated Systems for Recording, Reporting, and Analyzing Trapping Data.Monitoring traps baited with potent attractants of animals like insects have long played a critical role in revealing what pests are present and when they are active. However, pest managers have been laboring without the tools necessary for quick and inexpensive determination of absolute pest density, which is the cornerstone of pest management decisions. This book fills that gap by demonstrating how catch numbers from monitoring traps can be translated into measures of pests per given area of crop and accurate projections of damage. An unhappy fact of life from the human perspective is that small animals such as insects, mites, mollusks, and nematodes compete severely for our food and fiber. Moreover, some of these creatures vector diseases such as malaria, which kills more than a million humans each year. An imperative of a civilized world is that pests be accurately monitored so that control measures like pesticides are used only when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks to the health of humans, non-target organisms, and the environment.SpringerBriefs in Ecology,2192-4759Animal ecologyEntomologyApplied ecologyEnvironmental managementBiologyTechniqueAnimal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Entomologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Biological Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L28000Animal ecology.Entomology.Applied ecology.Environmental management.BiologyTechnique.Animal Ecology.Entomology.Applied Ecology.Environmental Management.Biological Techniques.632.9Miller James R.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut93268Adams Christopher G.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWeston Paul Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSchenker Jeffrey Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298274703321Trapping of Small Organisms Moving Randomly2502114UNINA
