In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

In the beginning, Earth was an inhospitably alien place―in constant chemical flux, covered with churning seas, crafting its landscape through incessant volcanic eruptions. Amid all this tumult and disaster, life began. The earliest living things were no more than membranes stretched across microscopic gaps in rocks, where boiling hot jets of mineral-rich water gushed out from cracks in the ocean floor. Although these membranes were leaky, the environment within them became different from the raging maelstrom beyond. These havens of order slowly refined the generation of energy, using it to...

Anyone who has visited a forest will have been overwhelmed by the sounds and smells that it emits. Discover, from the hand of Enrique García, engineer and naturalist expert in forests, what there is beyond magnificent trees, science and incredible stories from the first seeds and seedlings to the extraordinary trees.

La presente investigación buscó determinar la efectividad biológica de hongos entomopatógenos, sobre la mosca blanca en el cultivo del algodonero en los ciclos primavera-verano de dos ciclos agrícolas; considerando los tratamientos siguientes en el primer ciclo predio: Paecilomyces (A.M.) aplicación durante la mañana, Paecilomyces (A.V.) aplicación durante la tarde, erticillium (A.M.) aplicación durante la mañana, Verticillium (A.V.) aplicación durante la tarde, tratamiento químico (Herald + Hostation) y tratamiento absoluto. De igual manera, el segundo ciclo incluyó 5...
