The Vasculitides. Volume 1: General Considerations and Systemic Vasculitis (Second Edition)    

David Steven Younger, MD (Editor)

Founded in 1985 in New York, Nova Science Publishers, Inc. has become one of the leading STM (Scientific, Technical, and Medical) publishers worldwide. Their publications include printed (hardcover and softcover) and electronic Books, Journals, Conference Proceedings, Handbooks, Encyclopedias, Edited Collections and Series Collections. Currently, NOVA publishes over a thousand new books every year by scientists from the top universities and colleges from around the world.

NOVA has remained at the forefront of academic publishing as a company that embraces the best practices and technology to deliver unique science books, journals, series and eBooks. Their transition into the exciting world of online publications was a seamless and natural integration, an extension of their vision to publish the best works by outstanding scientists worldwide, and to make them accessible to as many people as possible.

NOVA has representatives, agents and distributors in virtually every country. They distribute review copies upon request, provide advertising for academic journals, are featured in specialized catalogs and are present at trade shows internationally, including the London, Frankfurt and Beijing Book Fairs, as well as many US and international academic book events.

The Nova Science Publishers Team values and continues to develop their long term cooperation with leading and respected authors and experts from from around the world, particularly in the academic community. They are proud to have been the second most multidisciplinary publisher in the World based on the BKCI Coverage from 2005 to 2012.

As NOVA continues to cross milestones with new discoveries, their commitment to serving the world academic community has remained unchanged from the day of inception thirty three years ago.

We welcome questions, proposals and feedback to further grow and develop our most interesting and gratifying work.

The Activated Sludge Process: Methods and Recent Developments    

Benjamin Lefèbvre (Editor)

In this collection, the authors report on the pretreatment methods for waste activated sludge based on pulsed electric field and corona discharge techniques. The effects of pulse magnitude, frequency, temperature and pretreatment time are demonstrated on the basis of cell membrane electroporation. The influence of voltage polarity, frequency, magnitude, treating time and temperature has also been demonstrated.

A description of fundamental techniques in molecular biology for the analysis of the microbiota of activated sludge is provided. Activated sludge is a heterogeneous system of organisms, organic and inorganic material, and therefore giving a specific protocol for each molecular technique would be imprudent.

Effectiveness of Investment to Renewable Energy Sources in Slovakia

Katarína Čulková, Ph.D., Adriana Csikósová, Ph.D. and Mária Janošková, Ph.D

Description: Renewable energy sources (RES) are considered as sources of the future. The European Union as a whole is dependent on the import of primary energy sources – around 50%. Accepted liabilities in the area of fair protection presents other influences to the energetic strategy of the EU; therefore, this strategy is concentrating mainly on the area of energy to the RES using energetic effectiveness, with no negligible potential in the individual member states. Over the years, the program of activities in the area of energy had become the main tools for the achievement of indicative goals for energy production from RES (intelligent energy in Europe, etc.). Member states in the EU had agreed in 2009 on increasing energy production from RES. Its goal until 2020 is to achieve a 20% rate of RES. In 2011, its rate was estimated at the level of 13.4%, which presented growth of about 0.9%.
