Progress in Botany Fortschritte Der Botanik

The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a modern presentation of ionic solutions at interfaces, for physical chemists, chemists and theoretically oriented experimentalists in this field. The discussion is mainly on the structural and thermodynamic properties, in relation to presently available statistical mechanical models. Some dynamic properties are also presented, at a more phenomenological level.

Our goal for this book is to examine the contemporary therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the increasingly important perspective of impact upon quality of life, costs and long-term health outcomes. For too long the focus has been on short­ term, symptomatic, and surrogate indicator outcomes. Yet RA is a life-long disor­ der with the majority of impact on an individual patient many years following onset.

This book addresses current societal debates around the globe. Written by respected researchers from France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Italy, the chapters are based on presentations given at a conference organized by the European Academy of Sciences, in partnership with the Royal Academy of Belgium and French Academy of Sciences, in Brussels (Belgium) in November 2016.

This book comprises of papers from the annual conference of the European International Business Academy, which was held in Oslo in December 2005 with the theme Landscapes and Mindscapes in a Globalizing World.
