"A Bradford book."According to the received view of linguistic communication, the primary function of language is to enable speakers to reveal the propositional contents of their thoughts to hearers. Speakers are able to do this because they share with their hearers an understanding of the meanings of words. Christopher Gauker rejects this conception of language, arguing that it rests on an unt…
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 10th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies, WEBIST 2014, held in Barcelona, Spain, April 2014, organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and technically sponsored by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS). The purpose o…
The Routledge Handbook of Taxation and Philanthropy ventures into a territory that is still widely unexplored. It contains 30 academic contributions that aim to provide a better understanding of whether, why, and how philanthropic initiatives, understood as voluntary contributions for the common good, can and should be fostered by states through tax incentives. The topic has been addressed from…

The tumor protein biomarker is resp…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/anti-inflammatory-potential-of-ginseng-for-wound-healingThe recovery of skin wounds is a complex biological process involving three basic mechanisms: inflammatory phase, re-epithelialization followed by granulation and tissue remodeling. The interactions between inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes induce microenvironmental changes at…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/particle-filter-based-approach-for-remaining-useful-life-prediction-of-high-speed-shaft-bearing-in-wThis work involves a novel data-driven procedure using vibration analysis for bearing health prognosis. In this work, we investigate the time-domain features and applying spectral kurtosis features in order to extract the damage indicators which even…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/analysis-of-geometric-parameters-of-the-nozzle-orifice-on-cavitating-flow-and-entropy-production-in-In this chapter, we investigated the effect of geometric parameters of the nozzle orifice on cavitating flow and entropy production in a diesel injector. Firstly, we analyzed the effect of some parameters of diesel injector such as the nozzle length …
