This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th Australasian Database Conference, ADC 2018, held in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, in May 2018. The 23 full papers plus 6 short papers presented together with 3 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The Australasian Database Conference is an annual international forum for sharing the latest research advancements and novel applications of database systems, data-driven applications, and data analytics between researchers and practitioners from around the globe, particularly Australia and New Zealand.
Functionalized magnetic nanomaterials are used in data storage, biomedical, environmental, and heterogeneous catalysis applications but there remain developmental challenges to overcome. Nanostructured Magnetic Materials: Functionalization and Diverse Applications covers different synthesis methods for magnetic nanomaterials and their functionalization strategies and highlights recent progress, opportunities, and challenges to utilizing these materials in real-time applications. Reviews recent progress made in the surface functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles Discusses physico-chemical characterization and synthesis techniques Presents the effect of the external magnetic field Details biological, energy, and environmental applications as well as future directions This reference will appeal to researchers, professionals, and advanced students in materials science and engineering and related fields.
ÒIÕm happy to have been a part of history, however small my role was.Ó The words of Wardiman Djojonegoro reveal Indonesian history the way only a man who worked alongside Ali Sadikin, B. J. Habibie and Soeharto can. The modest 85-year-old, a former education minister and current foundation chairman at the Habibie Center, recalls the younger days of a Òbig villageÓ Jakarta and says it was the countryÕs third president who taught him the keys to national development. This is what Peter Zack, a reporter for the Jakarta Globe, wrote on 18 April 2009. In the present English translation of his 2014 memoir, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Reminiscences of Working with Three Great Indones...
Economic challenges are becoming very difficult to manage throughout the world, and entrepreneurship can play a key role in handling these new realities. Due to this, academic institutions must update their study programs and knowledge, modernize their curricula, and integrate research activities in their degree programs that encompass topics about and related to entrepreneurship. Developing Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Academia provides implications, best practices, and approaches for countries to improve their economic systems using entrepreneurship and increasing entrepreneurial education. As the world population is expanding and resources are shrinking, it creates a challenging environment for people in low-income and transition economies, as well as developed countries. This book discusses entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education as a potential solution and critical concept. Covering a range of topics such as financial education and entrepreneurial management, it is ideal for instructors, academicians, researchers, practitioners, business professionals, policymakers, and students.
Biofuels are a viable alternative to petroleum-based fuel because they are produced from organic materials such as plants and their wastes, agricultural crops, and by-products. The development of cutting-edge technology has increased the need for energy significantly, which has resulted in an overreliance on fossil fuels. Renewable fuels are an important subject of research because of their biodegradability, eco-friendliness, decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and favorable socioeconomic consequences to counteract imitations of fossil fuels. Different extraction techniques are used for the production of biofuel from renewable feedstocks. Biodiesel is a promising biofuel which is pro...
Silver nanoparticles are the subject of immense interest because of their distinct chemical and physical properties that are different from their bulk counterpart. This makes these nanoparticles very important in many fields including antimicrobial applications, biosensor materials, composite fibers, cryogenic superconducting materials, cosmetic products, and electronic components. This book aims to provide in-depth study and analysis of various fabrication, characterization, and application techniques of silver nanoparticles that lead these nanoparticles very important in the recent technology. This book presents deep understanding of the new techniques from basic to the advanced level. This book addresses scientists, engineers, doctoral and postdoctoral fellows, and technical professionals working in specialized fields.
We proudly present the proceedings of 1st International Workshop on Law, Economic and Governance 2022 (IWLEG 2022). It focuses on how the wave of digitalization of government transformation, especially in Law and Democracy, Law and Indigenous People, Law in Contemporary Issues, Law and Economics, Digital Economics, Good Governance etc. As we know, the world today is changing and the world we are facing now is the one where everything is connected. The contemporary social issues based on complex problems, complex interest, beyond borders and powers. More than 74 manuscripts from various countries were presented at this conference with around 39 of them selected to be published in proceedings. We hope by this workshop, discussions on how research on Law, Economic and Government is possible in a disruptive era will give a perspective for the social and humanities studies development.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases, SSTD 2015, held in Hong Kong, China, in August 2015. The 24 revised full papers together with 8 demos presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The conference program has the scope on following subjects: reachability query and path query, reverse query and indexing, navigation and routing, trajectory analysis, spatio-temporal approaches, privacy and matching, similarity search and pattern, keyword and pattern.
Islamic Post-Traditionalism in Indonesia offers a unique assessment of the development of the phenomenon of Islamic post-traditionalism using Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest mass Islamic organization in Indonesia (and the world) as a case study. Post-traditionalism is a term now widely used to describe the often controversial attempts by progressive reformers to reify and legitimize modern intellectual notions, often from non-Islamic sources, by using reference to terminology and ideas drawn from Islamic tradition. This book discusses the discourse of post-traditionalist thought within Islamic thought more widely, before turning to examine the emergence of new currents of progressive thoug...
