This book provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and current state of the art in thermoelectrics. Addressing an audience of materials scientists and engineers, the book covers theory, materials selection, and applications, with a wide variety of case studies reflecting the most up-to-date research approaches from the past decade, from single crystal to polycrystalline form and from bulk to thin films to nano dimensions. The world is facing major challenges for finding alternate energy sources that can satisfy the increasing demand for energy consumption while preserving the environment. The field of thermoelectrics has long been recognized as a potential and id...
Spatial variable genes (SVGs) in cancer refer to genes that exhibit different expression levels or patterns across different regions or cells within a tumor. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a crucial component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), playing a fundamental role in tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy response. Identifying and characterizing SVGs can reveal novel targets for cancer treatment. Combining spatial transcriptomics with other omics data can provide a more comprehensive picture of tumor biology. Spatially Variable Genes in Cancer: Development, Progression, and Treatment Response illuminates the heterogeneity within tumors, challenging the traditional one-size-fits-all approach. The chapters examine how SVGs influence tumor biology and pave the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Covering topics such as bioengineering, gene expression, and tumor initiation, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, students, oncologists, medical professionals, medical administrators, scientists, and more.

This book is dedicated to all friends who define Friendship, Not just by words but by their actions! From a stranger to a family, the journey of friendship is not less than any roller coaster ride, it has ups and downs, tears and joys, fights and patch ups and lot more drama than any Bollywood movie..but what matters at the end is no matter what happens, we stay together!! Cheers to all those friends who make us believe in friendship, and add meaning to our life!
De apostolske fædre er siden 1700-tallet en almindelig betegnelse for en gruppe oldkristne forfattere – og derefter også for deres skrifter. Man ville med betegnelsen de apostolske fædre tilkendegive, at forfatterne var fra den apostolske eller efterapostolske tid, og nogle af skrifterne kan da også i alder måle sig med flere af de nytestamentlige tekster. Derfor er disse ældgamle skrifter et kildemateriale af uvurderlig betydning til belysning af forhold i og omkring de ældste kristne menigheder. Gennem disse tekster kan nutidens læsere danne sig et indtryk af begivenheder, tanker og spørgsmål, der optog mennesker ganske få slægtled efter kristendommens grundlæggelse. I "De a...
TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from an Indian-German-Swiss research collaboration. The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between 'terrain' and 'territory' in Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India's capital - from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3).
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail. “It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted.” Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor’s chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters—and the truest mea...
Ten years ago, D.M. Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical power sources, and continued progress in miniaturization of electronics has led to a substantial increase in research activity involving thermoelectrics. Reflecting the latest trends and developments, the Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro to Nano is an extension of the earlier work and covers the entire range of thermoelectrics disciplines. Serving as a convenient reference as well as a thorough introduction to thermoelectrics, this book includes contributions from 99 leading authorities from around the world. Its co...
