Abstract: This Volume 2 of a two-volume work is the first textbook to offer a practical yet comprehensive approach to clinical ophthalmology in wild and exotic mammals. A phylogenetic approach is used to introduce the ecology and importance of vision across the entire diversity of mammal species before focusing on both the diverse aspects of comparative anatomy and clinical management of ocular disease from one animal group to the next. Edited by three of the most esteemed authorities in exotic animal ophthalmology, this two-volume work is separated into non-mammalian species (Volume 1: Invertebrates, Fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Birds) and Mammals (Volume 2: Mammals). Wild and Exotic Animal Ophthalmology, Volumes 1 and 2 is an essential collection for veterinary ophthalmologists and other veterinary practitioners working with wild and exotic animals.

Abstract: The aim of this book is to present, in depth, updated information on soil and microbial processes involved in mixed plantations of Eucalyptus and N2-fixing species, especially Acacia mangium, focusing on Forestry, Soils, Biology, Ecosystem Services and Sustainability. The potential of substituting chemical N fertilizer by a consortium of leguminous species that fix atmospheric nitrogen is an interesting solution for a more sustainable, economically and environmentally sound forest system. Among the main topics, we present reference topics on soil microbiology, as biological nitrogen fixation, the role of mycorrhiza in mixed plantations, bio-indicators of soil quality, and plantgrowth promoting bacteria with biotechnological potential. Here we discuss Ecosystem services and ecological benefits of these systems, the invasive potential of A.mangium, as well as the regulations and perspectives of land use policies for mixed forests and their role in the sustainability of the system.

Abstract: This book explores how lessons from past urban planning experiences can inform current debates on urban agriculture. Productive landscapes today have been posited as instruments for the positive transformation related to territorial fragility and abandonment, promoting social cohesion, food security and wider environmental and economic benefits. The book will re-map the way in which seeming landscape limitations and challenges can be turned into potential, innovation and a new lease of urban-rural life. It does so by drawing on significant past urban agricultural experiences in planning as vectors for new critical reflections relevant to re-igniting ideas for future envisioning of urban scenarios in which productive landscapes play fundamental transformative roles. The focus is on planning ideas and the roles of key individual planners, all of which have designed agricultural strategies for the city at some point in their careers. It intends to help us today reimagine urban-rural relationships, and the transformation of under or mis-used urban open spaces, peri-urban areas, fringe conditions and in-between spaces.

Abstract: Urban greening policies and measures have recently shown a high potential impact on the design and reshaping of the built environment, especially in urban regeneration processes. This book provides insights on analytical methods, planning strategies and shared governance tools for successfully integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the urban planning practice. The selected contributions present real-life application cases, in which the mainstreaming of NBS are investigated according to two main challenges: the planning and designing of physical and spatial integration of NBS in cities on one side, and the implementation of suitable shared governance models and co-creation pathways on the other. Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com. The authors have done an excellent job in presenting extremely comprehensive information and knowledge about NBS in a very simple and easy to understand way, even by non-experts. Congrats to them, the EU-funded projects that supported the research such as Horizon 2020 project Clever Cities. I hope the urban authorities and the professionals in the field will embrace it and use it in exercising their daily duties and tasks.

Description: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of a series of chalcogenol esters are described. The photophysical behavior of the esters in solution was studied using UV–vis absorption and steady-state fluorescence emission spectroscopies. These chalcogenol esters present absorption maxima located around 332 nm and fluorescence emission maxima in the UV-violet-blue region. The obtained values for the Stokes' shift and the relation of the fluorescence maxima versus the solvent polarity function (Δ f ) from the Lippert–Mataga correlation indicate that charge transfer in the excited state occurs only for esters and . Theoretical calculations were also performed in order to study the geometry and charge distribution of these compounds in their ground and excited electronic states, as well as to clarify the role of the chalcogen atom in the photophysics of these compounds. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations were performed using the CAM-B3LYP functional with the 6-31+G(d) basis set for geometrical optimizations and 6-311++(2d,p) basis set for single points (absorbing and emitting structures). Solvent effects were included by the integral equation formalism of the polarizable continuum model. The large solvatochromic effect observed in the experimental emission spectra indicates that these dyes are more polar in the excited state, which was confirmed by the theoretical calculations. The computationally predicted properties are in good agreement with the experimental results and provide confirmation that the chalcogen atom plays a key role in the photophysical characteristics of the chalcogenol esters.
