The rise of women’s transatlantic reform activism from the mid-nineteenth century through World War I coincided with transformative changes in communication and transportation
Recent studies indicate that British appeasement towards Hitler followed a buying-time logic, i.e., it tried to postpone confrontation until Great Britain improved its military position through rearmament. However, this chapter shows that Germany actually extended its military edge over the appeasement years. Drawing on the literature on judgment and decision-making, the chapter theorizes that …
Selama lebih dari 50 tahun, silikon telah mendominasi industri elektronik. Namun, pertumbuhan ini akan berakhir, karena keterbatasan sumber daya. Dengan demikian, pengembangan penelitian perlu difokuskan pada bahan alternatif, dengan kinerja yang lebih tinggi dan fungsionalitas yang lebih baik. Pencapaian penelitian saat ini telah menunjukkan bahwa karbon adalah salah satu kandidat yang menjanj…
Seagrasses colonise coastal areas worldwide. Despite their high primary production, a considerable proportion becomes detritus that can be used as food, physical habitat and occasional or permanent shelter by several benthic macroinvertebrates. In turn, macroinvertebrates can contribute to regulating seagrass decomposition, and represent an important trophic link between primary producers a…
Academic institutions require students to participate every year in specific surveys, aiming at gathering their viewpoint about the organisation of the single courses, and the feelings about the traits and the effectiveness of the teaching activity.

This chapter will focus on didactic Audio Description (AD) and didactic free commentary. Firstly, it will provide the reader with an overview of the main types of didactic AD (DAD) and didactic free-commentary (DFC), differentiating between intersemiotic for both modes as well as intralingual, and interlingual for free commentary. Afterwards, it will present how didactic AD and didactic free co…
The combinatorial number of possible methylomes in biological time and space is astronomical. Consequently, the computational analysis of methylomes needs to cater for a variety of data, throughput and resolution.
Biosensors are analytical devices used for the detection of a chemical substance, or analyte, which combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. Detection and quantification are based on the measurement of the biological interactions. The biological element of a biosensor may consist of tissues, microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies and nucleic acid…
This book results from a Special Issue related to the latest progress in the thermodynamics of machines systems and processes since the premonitory work of Carnot. Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case.…
