Overview: Examines how overseas Chinese, among the key actors of regional and local trade, dealt with their Western counterparts.Explores how Asian commodities penetrated other parts of the world through the ne.This volume undertakes the important task of envisioning a regional history of Asia based on its unique internal characteristics, going beyond the usual West/non-West dichotomy. The “regional trade zone of modern Asia” was debated in the 1980s. Since then, Japanese historians of the socioeconomic history of Asia have explored how the traditional trade relations that had developed over t

Tropicalcrops from all parts of the world receive the same attention as thosefrom the temperate zone. Common names are given not only in English,French, German, Portuguese and Spanish but also in many otherlanguages, where such names are used in the technical literature..`Agronomic plants‘ comprise not only the agricultural andhorticultural crops but also pasture plants, green manure, soilcovers, trees used in agroforestry, and major weeds. Also included areplants which a

Overview: Includes supplementary material: When retired it is a blessing if one has not become too tired by the strain of one‘s professional career. In the case of our retired engineer and scientist Rinus Vlaardingerbroek, however, this is not only a blessing for him person­ ally, but also a blessing for us in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging as he has chosen the theory of MRI to be the work-out exercise to keep himself in intellectual top condition. An exercise which has worked out very well and which has resulted in the consolidated and accessible form of the work of reference now in

Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 251 revised papers from 819 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The first volume includes 86 papers organized in topical sections on robotics, localization and tracking and visualization, p

Overview: Everything about evolutionary computation in practice.Includes supplementary material: Mobile robotic is a recent ?eld that has roots in many engineering and science disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, cognitive and social sciences just to name few. A mobile robot needs e?cient mechanisms of lo- motion, kinematics, sensors data, localization, planning and navigation that enable it to travel throughout its environment. Scientists have been fascinated by conception of mobile robots for many years. Machines have been designed withwheelsandtracksorotherlocomotion de

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The new techniques of molecular cytogenetics, mainly fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of DNA probes to metaphase chromosomes or interphase nuclei, have been developed in the past two decades. Many FISH techniques have been implemented for diagnostic services, whereas some others are mainly used for investigational purposes. Several hundreds of FISH probes and hybridization kits are now commercially available, and the list is growing rapidly. FISH has been widely used as a powerful diagnostic tool in many areas of medicine including pediatrics
