This book presents and explains a general, efficient, and elegant method for solving the Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary value problems for the extensional deformation of a thin plate on an elastic foundation. The solutions of these problems are obtained both analytically—by means of direct and indirect boundary integral equation methods (BIEMs)—and numerically, through the applicati…
This volume collects recent advances in nonlinear delay systems, with an emphasis on constructive generalized Lyapunov and predictive approaches that certify stability properties. The book is written by experts in the field and includes two chapters by Miroslav Krstic, to whom this volume is dedicated. This volume is suitable for all researchers in mathematics and engineering who deal with non…
This book provides an authoritative overview of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) treatment menus for 14 pain categories with an evidence based literature review on each pain disorder, illustrative figures along with brief video clips showing the techniques and patient interviews. Introductory chapters cover basic information about the mechanism, function and the analgesic effects of the BoNTs bas…
This book presents the general concepts of self-organized spatio-temporal ordering processes. These concepts are demonstrated via prototypical examples of recent advances in materials science. Particular emphasis is on nano scale soft matter in physics, chemistry, biology and biomedicine. The questions addressed embrace a broad spectrum of complex nonlinear phenomena, ranging from self-assembli…
The fungal genus Botrytis is the focus of intensive scientific research worldwide. The complex interactions between this pathogen and the plants it infects and the economic importance of the diseases caused by Botrytis (principally grey mould) on more than 1400 species of cultivated plants pre- and post-harvest, render this pathogen of particular interest to farmers, advisers, students and rese…
This multi-author edited volume reviews the recent developments in boron chemistry, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of computational chemistry. The contributors come from Europe, the USA and Asia. About 60% of the book concentrates on theoretical and computational themes whilst 40% is on topics of interest to experimental chemists. Specific themes covered include structure, topol…
Buku ini memberikan studi empiris mendalam pertama tentang kekuasaan pengawasan Parlemen Eropa terhadap eksekutif di Uni Eropa (UE), dengan fokus pada bidang politik yang menonjol dari Uni Ekonomi dan Moneter. Perluasan pengambilan keputusan eksekutif selama krisis euro disertai dengan pemberdayaan Parlemen Eropa melalui pengawasan legislatif. Buku ini mengkaji bagaimana Parlemen Eropa menjalan…
Drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions play a prominent role among adverse drug effects, and constitute a major health problem. It has been suggested that up to 6% of all hospital admissions are related to these reactions. Biomarkers, especially those based on pharmacogenomics testing, have proved to be extremely useful for type A adverse drug reactions. Clinical practice guidelines based on b…
Lautan kita membutuhkan aturan hukum lingkungan yang kuat dan efektif untuk melindunginya dari tekanan dan tuntutan yang meningkat, termasuk perubahan iklim, polusi, perikanan, perkapalan, dan banyak lagi. Aturan hukum lingkungan untuk lautan mensyaratkan adanya seperangkat aturan dan kebijakan di berbagai tingkat tata kelola yang secara tepat mengatur aktivitas manusia di laut dan memastikan b…
Upaya untuk mengatasi perubahan iklim mencakup berbagai aktor non-lingkungan dan bidang kebijakan, termasuk lembaga ekonomi internasional seperti Kelompok 20 (G20), Dana Moneter Internasional (IMF), dan Organisasi untuk Kerjasama Ekonomi dan Pembangunan (OECD). Lembaga-lembaga ini cenderung menangani perubahan iklim bukan sebagai masalah lingkungan, tetapi sebagai masalah ekonomi, dinamika yang…
