With its unique focus on specifically addressing the problems for societies and economies associated with corrosion and their solution, this book provides an up-to-date overview of the progress in corrosion chemistry and engineering. International experts actively involved in research and development place particular emphasis on how to counter the economic and environmental consequences of corrosion with the help of science and technology, making this a valuable resource for researchers as well as decision makers in industry and politics. Further major parts of the book are devoted to corrosion prevention in the naval and energy sector as well as to corrosion monitoring and waste management.

The past two decades have seen exciting changes with developing countries emerging as exporters of services. Technological developments now make it easier to trade services across borders. But other avenues are being exploited: tourists visit not just to sightsee but also to be treated and educated, service providers move abroad under innovative new schemes, and some developing countries defy traditional notions by investing abroad in services. "Exporting Services: A Developing Country Perspective" takes a brave approach, combining exploratory econometric analysis with detailed case studies of representative countries: Brazil, Chile, the Arab Republic of Egypt, India, Kenya, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Two questions lead the analysis: How did these developing countries succeed in exporting services? What policy mix was successful and what strategies did not deliver the expected results? The analysis evaluates the role of three sets of factors: First, the fundamentals, which include a country's factor endowments, infrastructure, and institutional quality; second, policies affecting trade, investment, and labor mobility in services; and third, proactive policies in services designed to promote exports or investment. The case studies illustrate the complex nature of reforms and policy making in the service sector as well as the benefits of well-implemented reforms. Although success seems to be explained by a set of conditions that are difficult to replicate, common features can also be identified. Several countries have adopted policies to support exports, especially exports of information technology-related services. This resource will be valuable for policy makers, experts, and academics who are engaged in efforts to reform service and investment policies in their own country.

A book to cover developments in corrosion inhibitors is long overdue. This has been addressed by Dr Sastri in a book which presents fundamental aspects of corrosion inhibition, historical developments and the industrial applications of inhibitors. The book deals with the electrochemical principles and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum chemical aspects and Hansch' s model and also with the various surface analysis techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in industry for corrosion inhibition. The applications of corrosion inhibition are wide ranging. Examples given in this book include: oil and gas wells, petrochemical plants, steel reinforced cement, water cooling systems, and many more. The final chapters discuss economic and environmental considerations which are now of prime importance. The book is written for researchers in academia and industry, practicing corrosion engineers and students of materials science, engineering and applied chemistry.

Costruito negli anni trenta da un miliardario armeno, Palazzo Yacoubian contiene in sé tutto ciò che l'Egitto era ed è diventato da quando l'edificio è sorto in uno dei viali del centro. Dal devoto e ortodosso figlio del portiere, che vuole entrare in polizia ma che finirà invece a ingrossare le già folte milizie islamiste, alla sua fidanzata, vittima delle angherie dei padroni; dai poveri che vivono sul tetto dell'edificio e sognano una vita più agiata al gaudente signore aristocratico poco timorato di Dio e nostalgico dei tempi di re Faruk che indulge in piaceri assolutamente terreni; dall'intellettuale gay con la passione per gli uomini nubiani, che vive i suoi amori proibiti neanche troppo clandestinamente, all'uomo d'affari senza scrupoli del pianterreno che vuole entrare in politica. Ciascuno di questi personaggi si ritroverà a compiere delle scelte: quale ne sia l'esito, sarà il lettore a deciderlo. Ognuno interpreta una sfaccettatura del moderno Egitto dove la corruzione politica, una certa ricchezza di dubbia origine e l'ipocrisia religiosa sono alleati naturali dell'arroganza dei potenti, dove l'idealismo giovanile si trasforma rapidamente in estremismo e dove ancora prevale un'immagine antiquata della società. Campeggia in questo romanzo la denuncia dei costumi inquinati, della politica egiziana e dei movimenti islamisti, una denuncia tanto cara ad al-Aswani che oggi è uno degli esponenti di punta del movimento di opposizione Kifaya.
