Impact of Climate Change on the Human Living Environment
Climate change has been attracting extensive attention worldwide due to its significant and irreversible impacts on the human living environments including hydrometeorological disasters, freshwater availability, land use and land change, urbanization, food production, disease outbreaks, and many other aspects. It has caused huge socio-economic losses, and is the utmost obstacle to the sustainable development of human society. Therefore, addressing the above problems is an urgent and necessary issue to explore the impacts of climate change on different aspects of the human living environment, as an important basis to adopt effective adaptive measures and actions for mitigation of climate change impacts.
China 2020
The first volume in the China 2020 seven-volume set, China 2020: Development Challenges in the New Century, provides an overview of the country's strengths and weaknesses as well as its obstacles and options. The report argues that China can meet these challenges and sustain rapid growth, mainly because of its strengths including its relative stability, a remarkably high savings rate, a strong record of pragmatic reforms, a disciplined and literate labor force, a supportive Chinese diaspora, and growing administrative capacity. These strengths have driven the country's growth for the past two decades and can continue to do so over the next two. To nurture these strengths and use them effectively, however, reforms must develop in three related areas: the spread of market forces must be encouraged; the government must begin serving markets by building the legal, social, physical, and institutional infrastructure, and integration with the world economy must be deepened.
Deep Currents and Rising Tides
The Indian Ocean region has rapidly emerged as a hinge point in the changing global balance of power, and the geographic nexus of economic and security issues with vital global consequences. The security of energy supplies, persistent poverty and its contribution to political extremism, piracy and related threats to seaborne trade, competing nuclear powers, and possibly the scene of future clashes between rising great powers India and China—all are dangers in the waters or in the littoral states of the Indian Ocean region. This volume, one of the first attempts to treat the Indian Ocean Region in a coherent fashion, captures the spectrum of cooperation and competition in the Indian Ocean R...
Current Insights in Drylands
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st century, and recent drylands-focused research has led to major advances in our understanding of the coupled roles of climatic, edaphic, biotic, and anthropogenic processes in dryland ecosystem function, degradation, and sustainable management. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research. This editorial initiative, led by Professor Niall Hanan, Specialty Chief Editor of the Drylands section, together with Dr. Lindsay Hutley, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the drylands field.

Interpreting China's Military Power
Although inter-state tensions have generally been easing after the Cold War, military power remains a dominant factor in Asian regional politics. As China, operating the world's largest army, grows stronger, there are ongoing debates over the implications for Asia's regional security. This book argues that it is imperative to look beyond the empirical observations and conventional materialist reading of Chinese military development to understand its dynamics and directions in doctrinal terms and put it in a readiness context for evaluation. Military doctrine has long been under-studied and is often treated as a subject separate from force development. But, as this study contends, this factor...
Chemie des Lebens: Biochemie und organische Chemie für Mediziner
Dieses fundierte Lehrbuch führt systematisch in die faszinierende Chemie des Lebens ein und vermittelt die essentiellen Grundlagen der Biochemie und organischen Chemie für Medizinstudierende und interessierte Leser. Der erste Teil widmet sich den molekularen Bausteinen des Lebens: Von Atomen und chemischen Bindungen über Proteine, Kohlenhydrate und Lipide bis hin zu Nukleinsäuren und Enzymen werden alle wichtigen Biomoleküle anschaulich erklärt. Die Zellstrukturen und fundamentalen Stoffwechselprozesse wie Glykolyse und Citratzyklus werden detailliert beleuchtet. Im zweiten Teil steht die organische Chemie im menschlichen Organismus im Fokus. Metabolische Prozesse, biomolekulare Intera...
Quantum Tunneling and Field Electron Emission Theories
Quantum tunneling is an essential issue in quantum physics. Especially, the rapid development of nanotechnology in recent years promises a lot of applications in condensed matter physics, surface science and nanodevices, which are growing interests in fundamental issues, computational techniques and potential applications of quantum tunneling. The book involves two relevant topics. One is quantum tunneling theory in condensed matter physics, including the basic concepts and methods, especially for recent developments in mesoscopic physics and computational formulation. The second part is the field electron emission theory, which covers the basic field emission concepts, the Fowler Nordheim t...
