This book introduces a comprehensive theory of deformation and fracture to engineers and applied scientists. The author explains the gist of local symmetry (gauge invariance) intuitively so that engineers and applied physicists can digest it easily, rather than describing physical or mathematical details of the principle. Applications of the theory to practical engineering are also described, s…
Saya memulai proyek penelitian fotobiologi pertama saya pada musim semi tahun 1957. Minat ilmiah saya sejak saat itu telah difokuskan pada fotobiologi dalam banyak aspeknya. Karena saya telah bekerja sebagai ahli botani, penelitian saya sendiri sebagian besar berkaitan dengan fotobiologi tumbuhan, tetapi selama ini, Saya tertarik pada aspek lain seperti penglihatan, fotobiologi kulit, dan biolu…
Unsur hara dalam pupuk fosfor (P) yang sepenuhnya (100 %) dimanfaatkan oleh tanaman pangan tanpa (Nol) mencemari tanah dengan zat-zat yang relevan dengan lingkungan merupakan konsep masa depan pemupukan P di bidang pertanian. Kelangkaan P merupakan salah satu tantangan utama bagi pertanian dalam waktu dekat. Pemborosan sumber daya tak terbarukan P, yang sebagian besar dikonsumsi untuk pemupukan…
This edited monograph includes state-of-the-art contributions on continuous time dynamical networks with delays. The book is divided into four parts. The first part presents tools and methods for the analysis of time-delay systems with a particular attention on control problems of large scale or infinite-dimensional systems with delays. The second part of the book is dedicated to the use of tim…
In this book, the authors discuss the biophysical characteristics of Dendritic cells (DCs) at various differentiation stages and in tumor microenvironments in detail. A type of Chinese traditional herb, which can improve the biophysical and microrheological properties of DCs, is also introduced. DCs are potent and specialized antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in initiating and a…
The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehens…
In this book we have set out to provide a practical guide to bone marrow diagnosis, based on an integrated assessment of peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate films, trephine biopsy sections and various supplementary investigations. We believe that a trephine biopsy specimen should not be examined and interpreted in isolation. We have therefore discussed the clinical context of bone marrow …
Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer's and other dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they decline. Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in dementia--that those with the condition regress in stages toward infancy--as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The objec…
This book comprehensively describes the physiological changes and consequences that occur in humans during spaceflight. It specifically presents the adaptations of the cardiovascular and the respiratory system. Specific changes occurring after 10, 20 or more days in space are depicted. Furthermore, the book explains various effective countermeasures that are required upon return of the astronau…
OCT is rapidly being adopted in cardiology practice. However, gap exists between the speed of technology development and the knowledge of cardiologists. Many cardiologists are not familiar with image interpretation and don’t have enough background/knowledge to use the information in clinical practice. This book will be designed for busy interventional cardiologists to become quickly familiar …
