Overview: The problem that virtually all cells have in discriminating between "self" and "non-self" molecules and cells has been considered at great length in immuno­ biology. However, cells that clearly are incapable of carrying out mammalian­ type immune functions can exhibit exquisite specificity in their capacity to discriminate among syngeneic, allogeneic, and xenogeneic cells. In this volume of Contemporary Topics in Immunobiology we have chosen to consider the general problem of self/non-self discrimination as it is manifest in recognition reactions of plants and invertebrates and in th

Overview: Urban ecosystem and climate change.Carbon sequestration in urban soils and biota.Sustainable management of urban ecosystemsUrbanization drastically alters the ecosystems structure and functions, disrupts cycling of C and other elements along with water. It alters the energy balance and influences climate at local, regional and global scales. In 2008, urban population exceeded the rural population. In 2050, 70% of the world population will live in urban centers. The number of megacities (10 million inhabitants) increased from three in 1975 to 19 in 2007, and is projected to be 27 in 2

Overview: Nitya kaaler utshab taba Bishyer-i-dipaalika Aami shudhu tar-i-mateer pradeep Jaalao tahaar shikhaa 1 - Tagore Should authors feel compelled to justify the writing of yet another book? In an overpopulated world, should parents feel compelled to justify bringing forth yet another child? Perhaps not! But an act of creation is also an act of love, and a love story can always be happily shared. In writing this book, it has been our feeling that, in all of the wealth of material on coherent states and wavelets, there exists a lack of a discern­ able, unifying mathematical perspective. The

Overview: Discusses the latest research on wireless connectivity, machine learning, sensor technology, and autonomous operations in the IoV vision.Presents technical solutions that address the key challenges an.This book presents an overview of the latest smart transportation systems, IoV connectivity frameworks, issues of security and safety in VANETs, future developments in the IoV, technical solutions to address key challenges, and other related topics... A connected vehicle is a vehicle equipped with Internet access and wireless LAN, which allows the sharing of data through various devices

Overview: A modern mechanical structure must work at high speed and with high precision in space and time, in cooperation with other machines and systems. All this requires accurate dynamic modelling, for instance, recognizing Coriolis and centrifugal forces, strong coupling effects, flexibility of links, large angles articulation. This leads to a motion equation which must be highly nonlinear to describe the reality. r1oreover, work on the manufacturing floor requires coordination between nachines, between each machine and a conveyor, and demands robustness of the controllers against uncertai

Overview: Places mental health equity and social justice lens on understandings of climate change adaptation/mitigation strategies.Specific focus on differential impacts on mental health in low resource setting.Climate change is a driver of poverty, poor mental health, inequity, and increased intersectional vulnerability, with significant differential global impacts on individual and community health and well-being. For example, people living in low resource settings in high income countries (HICs) and in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are at greater risk, often experiencing fragile s

Overview: In spite of old vintage and 200 years of clinical use, digitalis remains an interesting therapeutic agent, to clinicians as well as to the pharmacologist, the biochemist, and colleagues in other diciplines of theoretic medicine. When a drug, however, has so many attractive facets, it seems proper and aJvis­ able for the success of a scientific meeting to focus on a number of well-defined aspects. This symposium was devoted to pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, analytic procedures, blood level determinations, and their interpretation both for thera­ peutic and toxic situations. Consid

Overview: The business problem of having inefficient processes, imprecise process analyses and simulations as well as non-transparent artificial neuronal network models can be overcome by an easy-to-use modeling concept. With the aim of developing a flexible and efficient approach to modeling, simulating and optimizing processes, this paper proposes a flexible Concept of Neuronal Modeling (CoNM). The modeling concept, which is described by the modeling language designed and its mathematical formulation and is connected to a technical substantiation, is based on a collection of novel sub-artifa

Overview: .This two-volume set (CCIS 1137 and CCIS 1138) constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Cyberspace Data and Intelligence, Cyber DI 2019, and the International Conference on Cyber-Living, Cyber-Syndrome, and Cyber-Health, CyberLife 2019, held under the umbrella of the 2019 Cyberspace Congress, held in Beijing, China, in December 2019...The 64 full papers presented together with 18 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 160 submissions. The papers are grouped in the following topics: cyber data, information and knowledge; cyber and cyber-enab

Overview: This ?ve-volume set was compiled following the 2006 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications, ICCSA 2006, held in Glasgow, UK, during May 8–11, 2006. It represents the outstanding collection of almost 664 refereed papers selected from over 2,450 submissions to ICCSA 2006.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: An important collection of studies providing a fresh andoriginal perspective on the nature of mind, including thoughtful anddetailed arguments that explain why the prevailing paradigm -the computational conception of language and mentality - can nolonger be sustained. An alternative approach is advanced, inspired bythe work of Charles S. Peirce, according to which minds are sign-using(or `semiotic‘) systems, which in turn generates distinctions betweendifferent kinds of minds and overcomes problems that burden morefamiliar alternatives. Unlike concept

Overview: There is no shortage of books on behavioral research, on behavioral research on alcoholism, or on behavioral research on alcoholism treatment. Most of the authors of chapters in this book have been involved in the writing of these books. The books and their authors have played an important role in the dramatic increase in the influence of behavioral approaches to one of our society‘s most troubling human problems. There are not many books, though, which detail the longitudinal course of the behavioral therapies, none doing so for behavior therapy with al­ coholics and problem drinker

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Passion {poison} often makes fools of clever men; sometimes even makes clever men of fools. La Rochefoucauld This book represents a pioneering work dealing exclusively with poi­ sons in the hands of the murderer, tamperer, and terrorist. One of the oldest offensive killing weapons developed by humanity, after the stick, stone, and fist, were the poisons. Yet, after nearly 5000 years of recorded history I no in-depth work has ever been produced dealing exclusively with poisons as weapons for homicide.

Overview: Cultural algorithm has three major components: a population space, a belief space, and a communication protocol that describes how these components exchange knowledge.Author originated the cultural alThe author first introduces the basic framework for cultural algorithms and he then explains the social structure of a cultural system as a mechanism for the distribution of problem-solving information throughout a population. Three different models for social organizations are presented: the homogeneous (nuclear family), heterogeneous (expanded family), and subculture (descent groups) s
