Emerging Fields in Sol-gel Science and Technology contains selected papers from the symposium on "Sol-Gel and Vitreous Materials and Applications" held during the International Materials Research Congress in Cancún, México in August 2002. One hundred and twenty researchers representing 10 countries attended this symposium. Some of the subjects covered in this symposium include 1.) synthesis of new materials endowed with outstanding and non-conventional optical, magnetic, electrical, thermal, catalytic, and mechanical properties; 2.) study of the sorption properties of model porous materials in order to test the validity of previous and recent theories; 3.) theoretical studies related to density functional theory, fractal and scaling law approaches, 4.) synthesis of biomaterials for use in medicine and pollution control; 5.) application of sol-gel colloids in the fine-chemistry industry in products such as fragrances and pharmaceuticals; 6.) development of special vitreous materials; 7.) implementation of inorganic thin films, and 8.) synthesis of materials for energy saving.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2011, held in Moscow, Russia in June/July 2011. The 65 revised papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition and machine learning; image analysis; image and video information retrieval; natural language processing and text and data mining; watermarking, steganography and biometrics; soft computing and applications; clustering and network analysis; bio and chemo analysis; and document image processing.
Following the vexed codification attempts of the International Law Commission and the relevant jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, this book addresses the permissibility of the practice of diplomatic asylum under general international law. In the light of a wealth of recent practice, most prominently the case of Julian Assange, the main objective of this book is to ascertain whether or not the practice of granting asylum within the premises of the diplomatic mission finds foundation under general international law. In doing so, it explores the legal framework of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961, the regional treaty framework of Latin America, customary inte...
Bacteria are among the earliest forms of life on Earth. Notwithstanding their small size and primitive origin, bacteria still have a tremendous impact on everyday human life. Over the centuries, research into bacteria have provided and enriched the fundamental biological knowledge due to their readily measured processes and effects on higher organisms. Although molecular genetics and microbiology were among the scientific fields that have mostly benefited from the discoveries made in bacteria, our current state of knowledge has gone beyond what anyone could have ever imagined. The present Research Topic aims to cover new and exciting broad aspects of the importance of bacteria to human life,...
Microbial Diversity in the Genomic Era, Second Edition presents techniques used for microbial taxonomy and phylogeny, along with their applications and respective strengths and challenges. Though many advanced techniques for the identification of unknown bacterium are available in the genomic era, a far fewer number of the total microbial species have been discovered and identified to date. With that in mind, this book incorporates recently developed biosystematics methods and approaches to assess microbial taxonomy, with suitable recommendations for where to apply them across the range of bacterial identification and infectious disease research. Here, international researchers in the field ...
This volume of Macromolecular Symposia contains chapters dedicated to different aspects of modern polymer science. Highly skilled researchers produced texts with detailed information on several subjects, such as, hybrid materials, detection of electric charges trapped in polymer systems, supramolecular structures in rubber blends, compatibilization of elastomer-based blends, rubber/organoclay nano-composites, new stereospecific catalysts and conductive polymer blends. Most of these subjects are extremely new and likely to appear in polymer textbooks only in the latter part of the 21st century.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management, WAIM 2012, held in Harbin, China in August 2012. The 32 revised full papers presented together with 10 short papers and three keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 178 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless sensor networks; data warehousing and data mining; query processing; spatial databases; similarity search and queries; XML and Web data; graph and uncertain data; distributed computing; data security and management; information extraction and integration; and social networks and modern Web services.
