Progress in Industrial Mathematics at ECMI 2018
This book explores mathematics in a wide variety of applications, ranging from problems in electronics, energy and the environment, to mechanics and mechatronics. The book gathers 81 contributions submitted to the 20th European Conference on Mathematics for Industry, ECMI 2018, which was held in Budapest, Hungary in June 2018. The application areas include: Applied Physics, Biology and Medicine, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Economics, Finance and Insurance, Energy, Production Systems, Social Challenges, and Vehicles and Transportation. In turn, the mathematical technologies discussed include: Combinatorial Optimization, Cooperative Games, Delay Differential Equations, Finite Elements, Hamilt...
Aortic Diseases Involving Visceral Artery: Clinical Therapeutic Management and Related Basic Research
Aortic diseases (mainly including aortic dissection and aneurysm) are common but life-threatening entities. With development of surgical and endovascular techniques, treatment outcomes have been improved gradually. However, a lot of problems still require to be resolved. Aortic diseases in the region of visceral arteries are difficult to treat, especially for aortic dissection, which is usually associated with the narrow true lumen. Conventional open repair is associated with high trauma and high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular intervention has been applied in the last decade. Fenestration technique, chimney technique, and branched stent-grafts have been used for aortic aneurysms. For aortic dissection, management in the region of the visceral arteries is more complicated, and more techniques have been described. Besides these three methods, exclusion of the re-entry by vascular occluder, road block strategy, and candy-plug technique are also reported. However, these endovascular techniques vary in characteristics, procedures, and outcomes. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment for these complicated entities.
The Promise of Memory
Readers once believed in Proust’s madeleine and in Wordsworth’s recollections of his boyhood—but that was before literary culture began to defer to Freud’s questioning of adult memories of childhood. In this first sustained look at childhood memories as depicted in literature, Lorna Martens reveals how much we may have lost by turning our attention the other way. Her work opens a new perspective on early recollection—how it works, why it is valuable, and how shifts in our understanding are reflected in both scientific and literary writings. Science plays an important role in The Promise of Memory, which is squarely situated at the intersection of literature and psychology. Psycholo...
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: State of the art and current challenges
As a result of the significant progress in the development of emerging technologies and improved surgical techniques in the cardiovascular field, Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) has undergone a rapid evolution over the past two decades. Currently, nearly half of all cardiac surgeries are performed through small skin incisions (minithoracotomy and ministernotomy), or involve other less-invasive approaches (no involvement of cardiopulmonary bypass, valve-sparing operations, etc.). This trend continues to evolve, notably with the development of increasingly efficient endoscopic, robotic and transcatheter procedures.
Sustainability Science
This textbook provides a comprehensive compilation of conceptual perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical insights of inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability science. Written by an international team of authors from leading sustainability institutions, the textbook covers key perspectives and topics of the scientific discourse on sustainable development. More than two decades after conceptualizing sustainability as societal guiding vision and regulative idea the necessity of concretizing and realizing sustainability in societal praxis is bigger than ever. Sharply improved individual and societal sustainable decision-making and action is necessary for a better future of human...
Miniature Metropolis
Andreas Huyssen explores the history and theory of metropolitan miniatures—short prose pieces about urban life written for European newspapers. His fine-grained readings open vistas into German critical theory and the visual arts, revealing the miniature to be one of the few genuinely innovative modes of spatialized writing created by modernism.
Digital Methods
A proposal to repurpose Web-native techniques for use in social and cultural scholarly research.
Pattern Design
Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell - pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us. Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art Deco.
