'[An] immersive debut... with detailed accounts of his trips and vivid descriptions of the scents ... [Roques'] rich travelogue will transport readers' Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) In Search of Perfumes is a fragrant journey across the world, revealing the beauty and mysteries of the perfume trade. Fruits, flowers, spices, bark, leaves, and branches are just some of the natural ingredients from the plant world that are used in the creation of perfume. Dominique Roques, travelling from Andalusia to Somaliland by way of Bulgaria, Laos, El Salvador, Indonesia and Egypt, describes his search to find the best natural ingredients, precious to perfumers everywhere. In Search of Perfumes demonstrates how the prestigious multi-million-pound perfume industry may begin its life as a single plant harvested by producers surviving on ancestral traditions and techniques and often risking their lives in the process as they combat the rising threat of climate change. Roques reveals the beauty and mysteries of a familiar ™ a return to the source of the world's scents.

Micro-hydropower projects/ systems are relatively small power sources that are appropriate in most cases for individual users or groups of users who are independent of the electricity supply through grid. Many micro hydropower systems do not operate "run of river," which means that neither a large dam nor water storage reservoir is built nor is land flooded. Only a fraction of the available stream flow at a given time is used to generate power. Introduction and promotion of community based Micro Hydropower Systems is a very difficult job in developing country because the investors may face the social, political, technical and environmental risks in the absence of proper government supports. Results of the study highlight the problems / barriers in introducing and promotion of MHP and finally conclusion and recommendations are drawn for researchers and planners. The author appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating and highly acknowledge publishing of it by VDM Publishing House Ltd., for technical knowledge sharing internationally.

This textbook explores both the theoretical foundation of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) and its applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Readers will discover a thorough explanation of the FVM numerics and algorithms used for the simulation of incompressible and compressible fluid flows, along with a detailed examination of the components needed for the development of a collocated unstructured pressure-based CFD solver. Two particular CFD codes are explored. The first is uFVM, a three-dimensional unstructured pressure-based finite volume academic CFD code, implemented within Matlab. The second is OpenFOAM®, an open source framework used in the development of a range of CFD programs for the simulation of industrial scale flow problems. With over 220 figures, numerous examples and more than one hundred exercise on FVM numerics, programming, and applications, this textbook is suitable for use in an introductory course on the FVM, in an advanced course on numerics, andas a reference for CFD programmers and researchers.

This study was undertaken in Mer Bleue Bog, Ontario, Canada to determine the response of a beaver pond to drainage (25 cm) as a sink or source of carbon. Plant distribution changed in response to a new water table gradient. Each vegetation community and the remaining beaver pond were sampled for fluxes of CO2 and CH4. A flow-through chamber system was used to measure CO2 flux from vegetated sites. Variations in CO2 flux amongst the sites along the gradient could not be related to differences in plant species composition, peat temperature, or water table. A closed chamber was used to measure CH4 on vegetated sites. The water table explained 83% of the seasonal average CH4 flux variability and the vegetation added another 11%. The seasonal measurements were integrated into an areal estimate of CO2 and CH4 flux for the beaver pond area prior to and after drainage. The beaver pond area sequestered 96 g m-2 before drainage, and the same area more than doubled the uptake to 231 g m-2 after being drained.

This book documents the memories of Abu al-Qasim al-Shabbi through scenes from his life, which he imbued with the fragrance of his poetic words. He bestows descriptions upon life and involves the resources of life, such as trees and flowers, in bringing those memories to life. Whoever reads this book will find that al-Shabbi uses these memories as a record in which he writes his thoughts and observations, which include a number of critical opinions about the society in which he lives. These memoirs are the best source from which the reader can draw aspects of complete literature that help him understand al-Shabbi's personality, because he writes his memories while wearing the robe of the poet soaring in the sky of memories. He does not live buried in the time in which he lives, but rather rises above that time to present to the reader a definition of the self made by the words of the self.

Experience the brilliant artist's lifelong obsession with nature and immersion in gardens, a bedrock of her hugely influential work. Yayoi Kusama’s work is the product of an infinite curiosity and obsessive drive to create. Throughout the artist’s long and varied career, there is one persistent yet little-studied through line—her deep engagement with nature. From early sketches depicting flowers at her family’s plant nursery in Japan, to her most recent monumental sculptures of botanical forms poised to take flight, Kusama consistently calls our attention to the patterns, connections, and cycles of living things that are not always visible. KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature is the accompanying catalogue to the first comprehensive exploration of the artist’s enduring fascination with the natural world, exhibited across the 250-acre landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. The exhibition examines her lifelong awareness and attunement to nature, which serves not merely as a source of inspiration, but is an integral source of power for her artistic language. This profound life force pervades all of Kusama’s work, from studies of the molecular to contemplations of the universal, resulting in a transcendent, cosmic nature. Exhibition guest curator Mika Yoshitake, an independent scholar specializing in postwar Japanese art, and Joanna L. Groarke, NYBG exhibitions curator, catalogue co-editors, bring together essays by art historians, curators, and a scientist, who each present unique interpretations of Kusama’s engagement with the natural world. Featuring more than 120 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and archival photographs, including stunning views of the works displayed in NYBG’s gardens and galleries, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature offers a new perspective on one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

Just as in his “Trout” Quintet (D 667), “Wanderer” Fantasy (D 760), and string quartet “Death and the Maiden” (D 810), in the flute variations on “Trockne Blumen” (D 802) Franz Schubert employs one of his songs as the thematic basis of an instrumental composition. “Trockne Blumen” (Dried Flowers) is the eighteenth song from the cycle “Die schöne Müllerin” (D 795), composed in autumn 1823. In January 1824, before publication of all of the Müller songs that summer, the Theme and Variations in E minor for flute and piano were written, prefaced by a weighty introductory section. The work remains Schubert’s single and singular virtuoso composition for flautists: tremendously difficult for the flute to play, and, incidentally, sometimes very tricky for the piano to “accompany.” Schubert’s much-reworked autograph manuscript is the sole authoritative source for our Urtext, as it demonstrably served as the engraver’s copy for the posthumously published first edition. One of the variations he crossed out entirely – the Henle Urtext edition reproduces it, more for informational purposes than for performance, in the appendix.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a Japanese manual practice codified by Master Jiro Murai in 1942. Using gentle, non-invasive hand placements, it harmonizes the body's natural energy flows-Ki Eki (vital nerve energy) and Tai Eki (body fluids)-to restore balance and support overall well-being. Rather than only addressing symptoms, Jin Shin Jyutsu works with the body's innate energies to relieve fatigue, stress, and disruptions from mental, emotional, or physical factors. By guiding Ki Eki through the 12 Tai Eki (12 Organ Flow) circulations, the practice helps the body naturally restore harmony and maintain optimal functioning. In this interactive, image-rich, comprehensive reference, teacher, researcher, and author Maria Miniello integrates primary source material with contemporary anatomical and physiological insights to explore the practical application and effects of Jin Shin Jyutsu. She reimagines and weaves together these two knowledge systems to present the material in a way that feels both authentic and fresh for a new generation. Beginning with a solid foundation-understanding the name and reconnecting with the breath-this book unfolds the story of Jin Shin Jyutsu, revealing its many facets.
