This is the second edition of a well-received book providing the fundamentals of the theory hyperbolic conservation laws. Several chapters have been rewritten, new material has been added, in particular, a chapter on space dependent flux functions and the detailed solution of the Riemann problem for the Euler equations. Hyperbolic conservation laws are central in the theory of nonlinear part…
The authors, two sociologists, discover, follow-up, examine, and make sense of the cross-roads where the social and life sciences meet, surprised by the emergent story which they simultaneously witness and document. Together, they focus on Lea Hagoel’s professional path as a medical sociologist fitting in with bio-medical scientific work patterns of a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, nu…
Pencemaran lingkungan merupakan salah satu masalah utama akibat laju industrialisasi yang cepat dan eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang tidak terkendali. Ini mengarah pada peningkatan paparan ekosistem terhadap zat yang disebut xenobiotik. Istilah xenobiotik berasal dari kata Yunani ξένoς (xenos) = orang asing, orang asing dan ßí Jadi, xenobiotik adalah bahan kimia atau zat lain yang biasan…
Sebagai komunitas yang hidup di planet bumi, pemanfaatan sumber daya alam sudah menjadi hal yang lumrah bagi manusia. Namun, eksploitasi yang berlebihan terhadap sumber daya alam ini selama dua dekade terakhir telah mengakibatkan masalah lingkungan yang besar. Meningkatnya populasi manusia dan kebutuhan energi telah menyumbangkan berbagai jenis spesies kimia dan biologi yang berbahaya di atmosf…
