Kevin Henke is a research scientist at the Centre for Applied Energy Research at the University of Kentucky. He has a M.S. and? Ph.D. in Geology from the University of North Dakota. His research includes investigating water and air quality issues related to coal combustion, studying the impact of mercury and other heavy metals on water quality, and investigating the leaching of inorganics from coal combustion by-products. He is also visiting Assistant Professor of Geology, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington (1998, 2000-2002) and has taught geochemistry, mineralogy, teaching methods courses, and undergraduate introductory courses in environmental geology, natural resources and physical geology.
Professor David A. Atwood, is based in the Chemistry Department of the University of Kentucky. He obtained his B.S. from the University of Alabama and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas in 1992. Research in the Atwood group is designed to address both fundamental and applied aspects of the main group metals.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
