        Nach dem Leben

        Gedichte

        by Karin Kiwus

        "Es gelingt Karin Kiwus, in einem einzigen Gedicht mehr Wirklichkeit einzufangen als anderen in seitenlanger fiktionsgetränkter Prosa", hat Wolfgang Hildesheimer über Karin Kiwus' ersten Gedichtband geschrieben. Unabweisbarer noch gilt dies für ihre neuen Gedichte. Das Phänomen Zeit wird nun, stärker als je zuvor in der Arbeit von Karin Kiwus, zum eigentlichen Strukturprinzip äußerst komplexer Texte. Als eine dünne Membran ortet sich ein fragiles Bewußtsein zwischen den Zeiten und bewegt sich vor und zurück. Zeit-, Denk-, Traum- und Erinnerungsbilder werden entworfen in diesen Gedichten, so zum Beispiel in einer "Elegie in sieben Sachen" für Uwe Johnson, in einer Legende um Ho Chi Minh und in der Evokation traumatischer Erfahrungen, die ein ganzes Leben geprägt haben und erst jetzt übersetzt werden können in Sprache.

        The unimagined community

        Imperialism and culture in South Vietnam

        by Duy Lap Nguyen

        The unimagined community proposes a reexamination of the Vietnam War from a perspective that has been largely excluded from historical accounts of the conflict, that of the South Vietnamese. Challenging the conventional view that the war was a struggle between the Vietnamese people and US imperialism, the study presents a wide-ranging investigation of South Vietnamese culture, from political philosophy and psychological warfare to popular culture and film. Beginning with a genealogy of the concept of a Vietnamese "culture," as the latter emerged during the colonial period, the book concludes with a reflection on the rise of popular culture during the American intervention. Reexamining the war from the South Vietnamese perspective, The unimagined community pursues the provocative thesis that the conflict, in this early stage, was not an anti-communist crusade, but a struggle between two competing versions of anticolonial communism.

        Gac Fruit: Advances in Cultivation, Utilisation, Health Benefits and Processing Technologies

        by Minh Nguyen, Tuyen Chan Kha

        Gac fruit, Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng, is rich in nutrients such as carotenoids (particularly beta-carotene and lycopene), fatty acids, vitamin E, polyphenol compounds and flavonoids. This book provides the latest research on this fruit, from cultivation through to processing technologies for health products. It addresses several techniques on propagation and cultivation in order to increase the production and quality of Gac fruit, including traditionally used parts of the fruit (aril) and those whose value has not yet been maximized (peel, pulp and seed). This plant has the potential to be a high value crop, particularly as parts of the fruit can be processed into nutrient supplements and/or natural colorants. It has an exceptional potential in the world carotenoids market of about US$ 1.4 billion (2017), which will be growing steadily, up to US$ 6.9 billion by 2026. As such, this book contains special emphasis on: · Improving production of Gac fruit · Novel extraction of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene from aril and peel. · Encapsulation of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene. Practical applied technologies such as microwave drying, heat pump drying, freeze drying, ultrasound assisted extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, encapsulation techniquesare all presented. This is an essential reference text for academics, researchers and graduate students in cultivation, food processing, science and nutrition. Product developers in health food areas in the food industry will also find it valuable.

        The Old Lady in the Gourd

        by Xiao Mao, Nguyen Thi To Uyen

        An old lady went to see her daughter and on the way she was stopped by a wolf, a tiger and a monkey. They agreed with the old lady that they would come back and eat her after seeing her daughter. The old woman's daughter gave her two magic gourds: one looked like a bottle and the other in the form of a snake. Will the magic gourds protect the old lady and bring her home safely?

        Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms, Vol 4

        Challenges and Opportunities with Bt Cotton in Vietnam

        by Edited by David A. Andow, Angelika Hilbeck, Van Tuat Nguyen.

        Within Vietnam, the environmental risks of transgenic plants, managing transgenic products safely, and building modern labs to assess their safety has received increased investment and research. This book is the first scientific effort to synthesize information relevant to GM crops in Vietnam, taking Bt cotton as an example. It can be used as a technical manual to enable Vietnamese scientists to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of Bt cotton varieties prior to commercialization, and provides guidance for environmental risk assessment of any transgenic crop.

        Biological and Environmental Control of Disease Vectors

        by Sandy Cairncross, Ulrike Fillinger, S K Ghosh, Bart Knols, Steve Lindsay, Sarah Moore, Yen Nguyen, Annabel Howard, Jo Lines. Edited by Mary Cameron, Lena Lorenz.

        Covering the theory and practice of non-insecticidal control of insect vectors of human disease, this book provides an overview of methods including the use of botanical biocides and insect-derived semiochemicals, with an overall focus on integrated vector management strategies. While the mainstay of malaria control programmes relies on pesticides, there is a resurgence in the research and utilisation of non-insecticidal control measures due to concerns over rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance, and long-term environmental impacts. This book provides examples of successful applications in the field and recommendations for future use.

        Plant Stress Physiology

        by Vadim Demidchik, Jill M Farrant, Hank Greenway, Anthony E Hall, Marcel A K Jansen, André Läuchli, Henry T Nguyen, Eric Ruelland, Peter Ryan, Lawrence V Gusta, Philip White, Gerald Berkowitz. Edited by Sergey Shabala.

        The fact that most of the suitable land has already been cultivated, meeting a projected target of a 50% increase in the global food production by 2050 to match the projected population growth becomes a challenging task. This book provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge on all aspects of plant's perception, signalling and adaptation to a variety of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature and pH extremes, waterlogging, oxidative stress, and pathogens.
