Advanced Research on Animal Venoms in China

Recently, Chinese researchers have made significant progress in animal venom research in comprehending the diversity and complexity of these molecules and their potential applications in medicine, biotechnology, and as research tools. Advancements in 'omics' technologies such as proteomics, genomics, and transcriptomics have empowered Chinese researchers to identify and analyze venom-coded gene…

Advances in Manufacturing and Characterization of Functional Polyesters

This research synthesizes novel copolyester (PCITN) containing biobased isosorbide, 1,4-cyclohexandimethanol, terephthalic acid, and 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and characterize its properties. The PCITN copolyester was extruded into film, and its performance properties including: tensile strength, Young’s modulus, thermal, dimensional stability, barrier (water barrier), and optical…

Abnormal Heart Rhythms

We know a lot of things about cardiac rhythms and their abnormalities, but there are some things that are still waiting to be discovered and, therefore, require more study. In this book, the authors put a little light on those matters, which are not well known yet. The authors have exposed some of such cardiac arrhythmias, especially those affecting the atria of the heart (with special emphasis…

A Touch of Doubt

Scepticism claims that there is always something that slips through the epistemologist’s grasp.Drawing on the tradition of scepticism within continental philosophy, this volume discusses how the sense of touch uncovers contradictions within our knowledge of ourselves and the world. It questions what we can know through touch, what we can know about touch itself, and how our experience of touc…

Young Citizens' Views and Engagement in a Changing Europe = IEA International…

This open access report presents the European results from the third cycle (2022) of the IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS). Eighteen countries and two benchmarking participants (the German states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein) administered the European student questionnaire to target grade students. The purpose of the European student questionnair…

The Economics of Big Science 2.0: Essays by Leading Scientists and Policymakers

The second volume of open access essays builds upon the success of the initial installment, "The Economics of Big Science (© 2021, 978-3-030-52390-9, Open Access book as well)," delving deeper into the tangible socio-economic value generated by fundamental science missions and elucidating the various ways in which this benefit is realized. This collection showcases contributions that stem from…

African Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation

This open access book discusses current thinking and presents the main issues and challenges associated with climate change in Africa. It introduces evidences from studies and projects which show how climate change adaptation is being - and may continue to be successfully implemented in African countries. Thanks to its scope and wide range of themes surrounding climate change, the ambition is t…

Differential Equations for Studies in Computational Electrophysiology

This open access text aims at giving you the simplest possible introduction to differential equations that are used in models of electrophysiology. It covers models at several spatial and temporal scales with associated numerical methods. The text demonstrates that a very limited number of fundamental techniques can be used to define numerical methods for equations ranging from ridiculously sim…

Modeling Excitable Tissue

This open access volume presents a novel computational framework for understanding how collections of excitable cells work. The key approach in the text is to model excitable tissue by representing the individual cells constituting the tissue. This is in stark contrast to the common approach where homogenization is used to develop models where the cells are not explicitly present. The approach …
