Using the experiences of projects in Australia, United States, Canada, China and India, this book examines case studies within the diverse geographical, climatic, economic, and policy regimes operating in these countries. It examines the water resources of Australia, the driest inhabited continent, and explores inter-basin water transfer projects in the United States, Canada, China and India, examining their benefits and impacts within these nations' contrasting economies and governance systems. This comprehensive and well-illustrated text will be of great interest to professionals and researchers in the fields of hydrology, water resources, and to those engaged in environmental science, policy and regulation.International hydrology series.Water transferCase studiesWater-supplyManagementCase studiesWater consumptionForecastingCase studiesWater transferWater-supplyManagementWater consumptionForecasting363.6/1Ghassemi F(Fereidoun),1940-1042005White Ian1943-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457851503321Inter-basin water transfer2465913UNINA05430nam 2200685 450 991082105990332120230120002219.00-12-802593-X0-12-802443-7(CKB)3710000000353069(EBL)1948969(SSID)ssj0001548711(PQKBManifestationID)16153072(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001548711(PQKBWorkID)14802547(PQKB)11532044(MiAaPQ)EBC1948969(Au-PeEL)EBL1948969(CaPaEBR)ebr11019349(CaONFJC)MIL732181(OCoLC)903442569(EXLCZ)99371000000035306920150220h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrVitamins and hormonesVolume ninety-sevenNociceptin opioid /series editor, Gerald LitwackFirst edition.Waltham, Massachusetts :Academic Press,2015.©20151 online resource (392 p.)Vitamins and Hormones,0083-6729 ;Volume 97Description based upon print version of record.1-336-00899-7 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Front Cover; Nociceptin Opioid; Copyright; Contents; Contributors; Preface; Chapter 1: Helix-Constrained Nociceptin Peptides Are Potent Agonists and Antagonists of ORL-1 and Nociception; 1.

Biological Activity by NST Through G Protein-Coupled ReceptorFirst published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. The Series provides up-to-date information on vitamin and hormone research spanning data from molecular biology to the clinic. A volume can focus on a single molecule or on a disease that is related to vitamins or hormones. A hormone is interpreted broadly so that related substances, such as transmitters, cytokines, growth factors and others can be reviewed. This volume focuses on nociceptin opioid.
