Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering
Many papers in this volume re?ect, to some degree, the active, rapid economic developmentincertaingeographicareasintheworldsuchasChina,Japan,South Korea,and EasternEurope, which demand cooperative work,particularly co- erative engineering, more than ever. New concepts and new ideas of cooperative design, visualization, and engineering have emerged to meet the higher demand resulting from the economic development in these areas. Another trend among the papers in this volume is to apply existing concepts and methods to new application areas. The emergence of new concepts can be considered as a signal of fruitful research with its maturity in the ?eld. This can be found in the papers of this ye...
Extracellular and Intracellular Signaling
Intracellular cell signaling is a well understood process. However, extracellular signals such as hormones, adipokines, cytokines and neurotransmitters are just as important but have been largely ignored in other works. Aimed at medical professionals and pharmaceutical specialists, this book integrates extracellular and intracellular signalling processes and offers a fresh perspective on new drug targets.
Boards That Lead
Is your firm’s board creating value—or destroying it? Change is coming. Leadership at the top is being redefined as boards take a more active role in decisions that once belonged solely to the CEO. But for all the advantages of increased board engagement, it can create debilitating questions of authority and dangerous meddling in day-to-day operations. Directors need a new road map—for when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way. Boardroom veterans Ram Charan, Dennis Carey, and Michael Useem advocate this new governance model—a sharp departure from what has been demanded by governance activists, raters, and regulators—and reveal the emerging practices that are de...
Modern Condensed Matter Physics
Comprehensive and accessible coverage from the basics to advanced topics in modern quantum condensed matter physics.
Tenniel's Alice
This book explores the work of Sir John Tenniel, the artist who illustrated the first editions of Lewis Carroll's best-known works. Although Tenniel and Carroll parted ways after publication of Through the Looking-Glass, the artist's designs fixed in the public's mind images of Carroll's characters that thrive down to the present day.
The LaTex Graphics Companion
Complementing The LaTeX Companion, this new graphics companion addresses one of the most common needs among users of the LaTeX typesetting system: the incorporation of graphics into text. It provides the first full description of the standard LaTeX color and graphics packages, and shows how you can combine TeX and PostScript capabilities to produce beautifully illustrated pages. You will learn how to incorporate graphic files into a LaTeX document, program technical diagrams using several different languages, and achieve special effects with fragments of embedded PostScript. Furthermore, you'll find detailed descriptions of important packages like Xy-pic, PSTricks, and METAPOST; the dvips dvi to PostScript driver; and Ghostscript.
Cytometry, Part A
Each chapter presents a detailed background of the described method, its theoretical foundations, and its applicability to different biomedical material. Updated chapters describe either the most popular methods or those processes that have evolved the most since the past edition. Additionally, a large portion of the volume is devoted to clinical cytometry. Particular attention is paid to applications of cytometry in oncology, the most rapidly growing area. - Contains 56 extensive chapters authored by world authorities on cytometry - Covers a wide range of topics, including principles of cytometry and general methods, cell preparation, tandardization and quality assurance, cell proliferation...
A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca and a Siege in Sanaa
In 1908, Arthur Wavell left England to begin his journey to Mecca, determined to find out more about Arab customs with a view to future adventures into the unexplored interior of Arabia. Due to the suspicion a westerner would arouse, and the fact that unbelievers were forbidden by the authorities to enter Mecca, he undertook his pilgrimage in disguise. His journey to Damascus, Medina, and finally Mecca with his two companions-a Swahili Muslim from Mombasa and an Arab from Aleppo-is detailed in the first part of this reprint, which was originally published in 1912. Additionally, the book describes Wavell's abortive attempt to explore south central Arabia, including his capture and expulsion from Yemen by the Turkish authorities. A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca, now back in print, will be of great value to historians, to scholars of the region or period, and to armchair adventurers.
IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants
A thorough analysis of basic electrical-systems considerations is presented. Guidance is provided in design, construction, and continuity of an overall system to achieve safety of life and preservation of property; reliability; simplicity of operation; voltage regulation in the utilization of equipment within the tolerance limits under all load conditions; care and maintenance; and flexibility to permit development and expansion. Recommendations are made regarding system planning; voltage considerations; surge voltage protection; system protective devices; fault calculations; grounding; power switching, transformation, and motor-control apparatus; instruments and meters; cable systems; busways; electrical energy conservation; and cost estimation.
