The New Science of Astrobiology: From Genesis of the Living Cell to Evolution of Intelligent Behaviour in the Universe.

Proceedings of the Sixth Trieste Conference on Chemical Evolution, Trieste, Italy 18-22 September, 2000. Boston, Kluwer Academic Publishers 2004, cm.16,5x24,5, pp.XX,428, legatura editoriale cartonata, copertina figurata a colori. The general topic of this volume concerns the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the Universe. Firstly, it discusses the transition from inert matter to cellular life and its evolution to fully developed intelligent beings, and also the possibility of life occurring elsewhere, particularly in other environments in our own and other solar systems. Secondly, the book explores the role that space missions may play in obtaining further insight into the question of the origin of life. Reviews are included of the research for microorganisms in the solar system and the well-established project for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The present work is much broader in its scope than in previous conferences: over one hundred leading scientists have reviewed the entire range of subjects dealt with in these sixty-nine papers. Audience: This book is aimed at advanced students, as well as researchers, in the many areas of basic, earth, and life sciences that contribute to the study of the first steps in the origin of life..

Matassino, Studio Franco Cantini-- SENZATEMPO 2017, cm.10x15, pp.80 di testo e ottanta di taccuino per appunti. brossura ove le due sezioni che compongono l'opera sono unite e chiuse con un laccio elastico. Un taccuino per scoprire, un taccuino per svelare, un taccuino per stupirsi, un taccuino per varcare la soglia dell'arcano; questo e altro su un volumetto che sarà un compagno fidato per prendere appunti, fissare appuntamenti e leggere, nei momenti di pausa, notizie e curiosità su un mondo al confine fra storia e mito, in una dimensione che spesso travalica i confini della razionalità per muoversi nella sfera del sogno. Tutto ciò rappresenta il taccuino esoterico che presenta 114 lemmi sull'arcano e sul mistero.

Bristol, Adam Hilger 1988, cm.16x24, pp.239, legatura editoriale cartonata. Testo in inglese. Prima edizione. The operation of oil- and coal-fired power stations in our environmentally conscious era requires the efficient removal of dust from the exhaust gases. Electrostatic precipitators accomplish this task successfully. This book aims to provide a practical 'hands on' treatment of electrostatic precipitation for the power station engineer. It is also an excellent introduction to the subject for students. The first six chapters explain the basic principles of both tube- and parallel-plate precipitators, and the processes of dust charging and collection. There follows a discussion of the properties of dust, with emphasis on the problems encountered with both high- and low-resistivity dusts. Later chapters deal with electrode design and alignment, and the question of safety for power station personnel. Finally, strategies for the maintenance of existing equipment and the procurement of new precipitators are evaluated
