Comparative Agriculture
In the first section dedicated to theoretical thoughts on comparative agriculture, Hubert Cochet introduces the notion of “agricultural development”, the very subject of comparative agriculture, with a restored endogenous dimension. He then describes how this approach was slowly consolidated, around the concept of agrarian system in particular. The comparison of agricultural transformations in time and space highlights the importance of the comparatist approach to production processes, their trajectories and differentiation on a worldwide scale. The second section which focuses on the methods and expertise of comparative agriculture, tackles the issues of landscape analysis, field surveys and the historical approach underlying comparative agriculture. It sums up the economic tools mobilised as well as the evaluation perspectives opened up by comparative agriculture.
Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change
Thinking about development and the environment simultaneously is one of the biggest scientific and societal challenges of the 21st century. Understanding the interactions between biophysical systems and human activities in an era of global change requires overcoming disciplinary divides and opening up new epistemological perspectives. This book explores these challenges using a territorial lens. Combining various scales of analyses (from global to local) and contexts (both urban and rural) in the North and in the South, it analyzes the relationships between environment and development through a variety of geographical objects (i.e. cities, rural and agricultural areas, coastlines, watershed)...
Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart, held in Bordeaux, France, in June 2019. The 46 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The focus of the papers is on following topics: Electrophysiology: mapping and biophysical modelling; Novel imaging tools and analysis methods for myocardial tissue characterization and remodeling; Biomechanics: modeling and tissue property measurements; Advanced cardiac image analysis tools for diagnostic and interventions.
Functional Imaging and Modelling of the Heart
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart, held in Toronto, ON, Canada, in June 2017. The 48 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. The focus of the papers is on following topics: novel imaging and analysis methods for myocardial tissue characterization and remodeling; advanced cardiac image analysis tools for diagnostic and interventions; electrophysiology: mapping and biophysical modeling; biomechanics and flow: modeling and tissue property measurements.
Histories of Drug Trafficking in Twentieth-Century Mexico
This work brings together a new generation of drug historians and new historical sources to uncover the history of the drug trade and its regulations. While the US and Mexican governments developed anti-drug discourses and policies, which criminalized both high-profile traffickers and small-time addicts, these authorities also employed the criminals and cash connected to the drug trade to pursue more pressing political concerns. The politics, socioeconomic relations, and criminal justice system of modern Mexico have been shaped by these public and covert policies as well as by subnational histories of drug production and trafficking. The essays in this study explore this complicated narrative and provide insight into Mexico’s history and the wider contemporary global drug trade.
Ventricular Tachycardia in Structural Heart Disease, An Issue of Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics
This issue of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, edited by Drs. Amin Al- Ahmad and Francis Marchlinski, will cover Ventricular Tachycardia in Structural Heart Disease. Topics discussed in the issue include, but are not limited to, ECG localization of VT in patients with structural heart disease; Anatomy for VT ablation in structural heart disease; Ablation of VT in ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease; Pace mapping; Ablation of VT in ARVD; Epicardial VT ablation; and VT clinical trials, among others.
Violence, Coercion, and State-Making in Twentieth-Century Mexico
Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of law. This is the first book to put these developments in the context of post-revolutionary state-making in Mexico and to show that violence in Mexico is not the result of state failure, but of state-making. While most accounts of politics and the state in recent decades have emphasized processes of transition, institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and coercion by a range of state and non-state armed actors. Moreover, by going beyond the immediate concerns of contemporary Mexico,...
Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart. Atrial Segmentation and LV Quantification Challenges
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Atrial Segmentation and LV Quantification Challenges, STACOM 2018, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2018, in Granada, Spain, in September 2018. The 52 revised full workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The topics of the workshop included: cardiac imaging and image processing, machine learning applied to cardiac imaging and image analysis, atlas construction, statistical modelling of cardiac function across different patient populations, cardiac computational physiology, model customization, atlas based functional analysis, ontological schemata for data and results, integrated functional and structural analyses, as well as the pre-clinical and clinical applicability of these methods.
Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart, which took place online during June 21-24, 2021, organized by the University of Stanford. The 65 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: advanced cardiac and cardiovascular image processing; cardiac microstructure: measures and models; novel approaches to measuring heart deformation; cardiac mechanics: measures and models; translational cardiac mechanics; modeling electrophysiology, ECG, and arrhythmia; cardiovascular flow: measures and models; and atrial microstructure, modeling, and thrombosis prediction.
