In examining the main aspects of Marxism and how they can be of great aid to the struggle for progress, we do not start empty-handed. Many useful books exist. This book, however, seeks to cover all major aspects of Marxism in one short volume and also update it, while building on its fundamentals and applying its methodology to new developments.

The first part reviews the main processes available for treating water for drinking (potable) purposes, the second part goes into some detail on the design and operation of non-filtration (clarification) processes, and the third part deals only with filtration and related applications. It is intended more as a practical source of information than a theoretical treatise and includes a discussion of the constituent parts of process units with rationale for design features as well as principles of operation.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, properties and synthesis of nanoporous materials, presenting fundamental scientific principles along with the latest advances in research and development of these materials. In addition, focuses on practical applications in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, filtration and molecular separation.

Provides some of the most recent developments in Computational Intelligence applied to business and economics presented at the MS'10 International Conference, Barcelona, 15 - 17 July, 2010. It presents several new theoretical advancements and a wide range of applications in different business and economic areas including accounting, finance, management, marketing, sports, tourism, economics and politics, and also some applications related with engineering and modeling and simulation.

As the twenty-first century begins, the world finds itself with a wide range of possible economic futures. Many corporations find it difficult to compete in international markets with the result being shrinking revenue. Too many governments utilize an excessively high percentage of their nation's goods and services. In the past, some countries could afford to have a less than perfect tax system. However, wage and other labor rigidities (work rules) handcuff management. Management has become pre-occupied with non-productive pursuits, and numerous other sources of inefficiency. The objective of this book is to suggest several revisions in institutional structure, management techniques and rewards, and a drastic change in how hourly labor is compensated.
