This open access book contains the oral histories that were inspired by the work of the Special Olympics in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of its founding. The foreword and prefatory materials provide an overview of the Special Olympics and its growth in the People's Republic of China. The sections that follow record interview transcripts of individuals with intellectual disabilities liv…
This open access book is unique in presenting the first oral history of individuals with an intellectual disability and their families in China. In this summary volume and the two accompanying volumes that follow, individuals with an intellectual disability tell their life stories, while their family members, teachers, classmates, and co-workers describe their professional, academic, and family…
In this book a novel optical switch is designed, developed, and tested. The switch integrates optical switching, transparent traffic aggregation/grooming, and optical regener-ation. Innovative switch subsystems are developed that enable these functionalities, including all-optical OTDM-to-WDM converters. High capacity ring interconnection between metro-core rings, carrying 130 Gbit/s OTDM traff…
Sejak penyelesaian urutan genom ayam pada tahun 2004, genetika dan genomik unggas telah berkembang pesat, memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang penentu genetik dari sifat kompleks. Buku ini menawarkan tinjauan komprehensif tentang kemajuan terkini dalam penerapan ilmu genetika dan genomik di industri unggas. Bab-babnya mencakup berbagai topik penting, termasuk deteksi variasi genetik, metode sele…
What do climate models predict for the rainfall where you live? What about evaporation or runoff? Should your local community consider constructing new dams or do the existing water storages appear adequate? What about the availability of water for irrigation farming? Do the predictions differ between different climate models or do all the models basically predict the same changes in water avai…

Penelitian ini mengusulkan penggunaan array lensa difraktif (diffractive lens arrays) untuk diaplikasikan pada mikroskop konfokal cahaya pantul (reflected-light confocal microscopes). Teknologi ini berhasil mengatasi kendala klasik dalam optik, yaitu keterbatasan antara luas bidang pandang (field of view) dan tingkat resolusi yang sering ditemui pada lensa objektif tradisional. Melalui eksperim…
This open access book is the first comprehensive guideline for the beryllium-7 (Be-7) technique that can be applied to evaluate short-term patterns and budgets of soil redistribution in agricultural landscapes. While covering the fundamental and basic concepts of the approach, this book distinguishes itself from other publications by offering step-by-step instructions on how to use this isotopi…

Sebagai salah satu ciri khas publikasi dari Frontiers Journals Series, setiap koleksi terdiri dari setidaknya sepuluh artikel yang berfokus pada tema penelitian spesifik dan terkini. Dengan perpaduan kontribusi yang variatif—mulai dari Penelitian Orisinal (Original Research) hingga Artikel Tinjauan (Revi…
Selama beberapa dekade terakhir, pemanasan global dan perubahan iklim telah memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap siklus hidrologi. Berbagai model telah dikembangkan untuk mensimulasikan proses hidrologi, di mana perolehan data iklim yang akurat pada skala lokal, meso, hingga global menjadi syarat mutlak bagi realisme simulasi tersebut. Namun, keterbatasan ketersediaan data iklim sering kali me…
