The field of plant physiology includes the study of all chemical and physical processes of plants, from the molecular-level interactions of photosynthesis and the diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients within the plant, to the larger-scale processes of plant growth, dormancy and reproduction. This new book covers a broad array of topics within the field. Plant Physiology focuses on the study of the internal activities of plants, including research into the molecular interactions of photosynthesis and the internal diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients. Also included are investigations into the processes of plant development, seasonality, dormancy, and reproductive control. The chap...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22st International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation, SAMOS 2021, which took place in July 2022 in Samos, Greece. The 11 full papers and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The conference covers a wide range of embedded systems design aspects, including machine learning accelerators, and power management and programmable dataflow systems.
How can you stand up for yourself if you can’t say your own name? New high school, same old taunts. Once again branded “C-c-claire,” volleyball-obsessed Claire vows to skip the small talk and prove herself on the court, but when she and her teammates-turned-friends each face their own trials, silence is not an option. Beth Jones’s hot new boyfriend adds much-needed spice to her life as a sibling chauffeur, but becoming “Jeff’s girl” might mean renouncing her friends. At six-foot-six, Maite Restrepo can punch out whatever she can’t laugh off, but her fists can’t heal her abuela’s mystery illness. Everyone says Saafi Khalif will be America’s first Muslim president, but does she have the courage to confront the guys who threatened her student group? Claire and her friends define team with the word family, but at home, Claire’s family is falling apart. When her bitter aunt threatens eviction and tragedy sparks another family feud, can Claire speak up for herself? Told in four parts, Speak Without Words may be read by itself or as Book 1 in the Healing Bonds series.
Layered materials have attracted much attention in this decade because of their high active surface area and the ability to tune the properties through the formation of layered structures for various applications. This compliments the layered materials with high mechanical flexibility, chemical stability, and superior electrical and thermal conductivities, which make them a great alternative for electrochemical applications such as electrochemical energy conversion, storage devices, and environmental remediation. This book offers the state of the art of research on the synthesis, properties, characterization, and electrochemical applications of layered materials and highlights the present ch...
This book presents a timely and multidisciplinary update on the modalities currently available for treating the most feared symptom of patients diagnosed with cancer. The various cancer pain syndromes are explored in detail, covering those related directly to malignancy and those due to the after-effects of cancer therapy. Treatment modalities, including pharmacologic approaches, interventional procedures, and palliative surgical options, are discussed clearly and concisely, with provision of recommendations for the practitioner. Further topics include new and emerging treatments for cancer pain, survivorship considerations, pain management in special populations, and implementation of systems-based pain programs. The book has been written by a multidisciplinary group of experts, reflecting the evolution in pain and symptom management that has occurred in parallel with progress toward more targeted oncologic treatments. Oncologists, palliative care physicians, allied health professionals, and other practitioners involved in caring for cancer patients will find Fundamentals of Cancer Pain Management to be a rich source of evidence-based insights into effective pain management.
Want to Feel Hopeful About the Future? Share in inspirational stories of generosity written by children of all ages that reveal their surprisingly insightful feelings about kindness and compassion. Look back at why the Random Acts of Kindness series was such a sensation. When the adult version of Random Acts of Kindness was first published hundreds of teachers across the country gave assignments to their students to write about unsolicited acts that they had experienced or initiated. Teachers sent the results to Conari Press which then put out a call for similar stories in a teacher’s magazine. Stories poured in and the result was Kid’s Random Acts of Kindness. Whimsical and funny to mov...
