- Abstract
Althoughtheprinciplesofoperationofhelicalscrewmachines,ascompressors or expanders, have been well known for more than 100 years, it is only during the past 30 years that these machines have become widely used. The main reasons for the long period before they were adopted were their relatively poor e?ciency and the high cost of manufacturing their rotors. Two main developments led to a solution to these di?culties. The?rst of these was the introduction of the asymmetric rotor pro?le in 1973. This reduced the bl- hole area, which was the main source of internal leakage by approximately 90%, and thereby raised the thermodynamic e?ciency of these machines, to roughly the same level as that of traditional reciprocating compressors. The second was the introduction of precise thread milling machine tools at - proximately the same time. This made it possible to manufacture items of complex shape, such as the rotors, both accurately and cheaply. From then on, as a result of their ever improving e?ciencies, high rel- bility and compact form, screw compressors have taken an increasing share of the compressor market, especially in the?elds of compressed air production, and refrigeration and air conditioning, and today, a substantial proportion of compressors manufactured for industry are of this type. Despite, the now wide usage of screw compressors and the publication of many scienti?c papers on their development, only a handful of textbooks have been published to date, which give a rigorous exposition of the principles of their operation and none of these are in English.

- Abstract
This book provides information on genome complexity and evolution, transcriptome analysis, miRNome, simple sequence repeats, genome relationships, molecular cytogenetics, polyploidy induction and application, flower and embryo development. Orchids account for a great part of the worldwide floriculture trade both as cut flowers and as potted plants and are assessed to comprise around 10% of global fresh cut flower trade. A better understanding of the basic botanical characteristics, flower regulation, molecular cytogenetics, karyotypes and DNA content of important orchids will aid in the efficient development of new cultivars. The book also describes the composition, expression and function of various microRNAs and simple sequence repeats. Information on their involvement in all aspects of plant growth and development will aid functional genomics studies.

- Abstract
This volume presents a brief introduction to the Rare Earth Elements (REE) and their discovery, mineralogy, deposit types and applications. The book focusses on the aspects of both natural and industrial REE resources of India. It covers geological, structural, geochemical, petrological, mineralogical and genetic aspects of the natural deposits, and provides an account of the available industrial sources. The relative merits and potential of the several resources for future development and directions for inputs in REE exploration are discussed at the end of the monograph.

- Communication--Psychological aspects
- Abstract
Dieses erfolgreiche Lehrbuch über die Psychologie der Kommunikation erklärt - hier in der dritten aktualisierten sowie überarbeiteten Auflage - alltagsnah und sehr verständlich, wie menschliche Kommunikation funktioniert. Es beginnt mit der Erläuterung zentraler Begriffe und der Erklärung bekannter Kommunikationsmodelle (bspw. die Modelle nach Schulz von Thun, Watzlawick sowie Hargie und Kollegen), beschreibt anschließend Mittel nonverbaler sowie verbaler Kommunikation und endet mit einer übersichtlichen und strukturierten Zusammenfassung von Kommunikationsformen. Konkrete Anwendungsfelder, Stolpersteine (z. B. interkulturelle Unterschiede in der Kommunikation), praktische Beispiele und Exkurse im Buch runden das Gelesene ab und festigen das Gelernte. Zudem stehen kostenlose Lernmaterialien im Internet bereit, mit denen Lesende ihren Wissenserwerb überprüfen können.Dr. Jessica Röhner ist Stipendiatin und Habilitandin am Lehrstuhl für Persönlichkeitspsychologie und Diagnostik an der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg.Prof. Dr. Astrid Schütz ist Inhaberin des Lehrstuhls für Persönlichkeitspsychologie und Leiterin des Kompetenzzentrums für Angewandte Personalpsychologie an der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg sowie zertifizierte Coachin.

- Abstract
This book consists of 23 essays about prominent people and events in the history of respiratory physiology. It provides a first-hand chronicle of the advancements made in respiratory physiology starting with Galen and the beginnings of Western physiology. The volume covers every aspect of the evolution of this important area of knowledge: pulmonary circulation, Boyle's Law, pulmonary capillaries and alveoli, morphology, gas exchange and blood flow, mechanics, control of ventilation, and comparative physiology. The book emphasizes societal and philosophical aspects of the history of science. Although it concentrates on physiology, it also describes how cultural movements, such as The Enlightenment, shaped the researchers discussed.This book is published on behalf of the American Physiological Society by Springer. Access to APS books published with Springer is free to APS members.
