Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Doi: 10.1080/10473289.2011.599282 Particulate matter (PM) emitted from cattle feedlots are thought to affect air quality in rural communities, yet little is known about factors controlling their emissions. The concentrations of PM (i.e., P[M.sub.2.5], P[M.sub.10], and total suspended particulates or TSP) upwind and downwind at two large cattle feedlots (KS1, KS2) in Kansas were measured with gravimetric samplers from May 2006 to October 2009 (at KS1) and from September 2007 to April 2008 (at KS2). The mean downwind and net (i.e., downwind--upwind) mass concentrations of P[M.sub.2.5], P[M.sub.10], and TSP varied seasonally, indicating the need for multiple-day, seasonal sampling. The downwind...

This work (the first of two) contains papers presented at an international conference on the technology of rotating machinery, which specifically address theoretical and applied research in transport phenomena. Rotating machinery is the prime mechanism for transporting heat, mass and momentum in numerous industrial systems. As technology advances and the stress on such systems increases, the demands on the operational conditions and capabilities of rotating machinery are greatly increased. The two books which contain the Hawaii conference proceedings are purchasable separately or together in a two-volume set.

Stringent legislation is forcing manufacturing industry to be aware of the impact its operations have on the environment, in order to control and reduce the affect of those operations. Increasingly sophisticated equipment is required for this monitoring, and development of that equipment and strategies for its use is a multi-disciplinary field involving chemists, analytical scientists and engineers. This volume is divided into two parts, the first introducing the reader to the various sensor systems and illustrating the advantages and disadvantages those systems have for monitoring programmes, and the second introducing the problems associated with environmental monitoring, and showing how the sensors discussed in the first section can be applied to produce a thorough monitoring programme.

W. Kiefer, University of Würzburg, where he finished his habilitation. He became full professor at the University of Jena and Director of the Institute of Physical Chemistry. Since 2002 he has been speaker of the research framework "Biophotonik" funded by the BMBF. In 2005, he became Head of the Microsystem Devision of the Institute of Physical High Technology. His work has been awarded the faculty prize of chemistry (1995), the Bayerischer Habilitationsförpreis (1997), the Förderpreis der Wüger Korporationen (2001), and the Kirchhoff-Bunsen award (2002).

Microbes are in our midst soon after birth. Thankfully, the number of harmless (and often beneficial) microbes far outnumber those that would do us harm. Our ability to ward-off pathogens in our environment, including those that can colonize our exterior and/or interior surfaces, depends on the integrative action of the innate and adaptive immunity systems. This volume of CTMI, entitled Antimicrobial Peptides and Human Disease, is dedicated to the role of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the innate host defense system of homo sapiens.

Review "An important sourcebook....An invaluable resource for teachers and researchers in need of comprehensive comparative information on shelter and settlement. All levels."--Choice

This volume will examine the physical and technical foundation for recent progress in applied scanning probe techniques. The first volume came out in January 2004 and the second to fourth volumes in early 2006. The field is progressing so fast that there is a need for practically one volume every 12 to 18 months to capture latest developments. These volumes constitute a timely comprehensive overview of SPM applications. Industrial applications span topographic and dynamical surface studies of thin-film semiconductors, polymers, paper, ceramics, and magnetic and biological materials. After introducing scanning probe microscopy, including sensor technology and tip characterization, chapters on use in various industrial applications are presented. The chapters will be written by leading researchers and application scientists from all over the world and from various industries to provide a broader perspective.

Recently identified as a killer, tobacco has been the focus of health warnings, lawsuits, and political controversy. Yet many Native Americans continue to view tobacco-when used properly-as a life-affirming and sacramental substance that plays a significant role in Native creation myths and religious ceremonies. This definitive work presents the origins, history, and contemporary use (and misuse) of tobacco by Native Americans. It describes wild and domesticated tobacco species and how their cultivation and use may have led to the domestication of corn, potatoes, beans, and other food plants. It also analyzes many North American Indian practices and beliefs, including the concept that Tobacco is so powerful and sacred that the spirits themselves are addicted to it. The book presents medical data revealing the increasing rates of commercial tobacco use by Native youth and the rising rates of death among Native American elders from lung cancer, heart disease, and other tobacco-related illnesses. Finally, this volume argues for the preservation of traditional tobacco use in a limited, sacramental manner while criticizing the use of commercial tobacco.Contributors are: Mary J. Adair, Karen R.
