Precious Home
A house is a place for shelter and rest, a place for playing and working, and a place for a family to live and love. But a house in Thailand looks nothing like a house in Mongolia, and the houses in Togo don't look like the houses in Russia. In each place, the people build their houses to accommodate climate, customs, and lifestyles, and end up with homes that vary in many ways. Readers will learn about houses all over the world, and delight in both their similarities and differences. Friendly diagrams with bite-sized explanations of why certain features appear in the houses make this an interactive book with high kid appeal.

After reading MOVING CAMERAS...your love for movies will triple. Movie technicians and camera gurus have a license to mould, alter, and manipulate the screen to produce or induce rain, sunlight, snow, fire, or fly any object in space in defiance of gravity or even cause 'accidents'or 'raise' the dead to life.

Fueling State Capitalism
"Foreign investments by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the oil and gas sector began a dramatic climb in the late 1990s amid rising oil prices. These investments are widely perceived to be politically driven, raising concerns about resource mercantilism and asymmetric interdependence. The book begins with the premise that the investments are commercial ventures by ambitious SOEs seeking to become global players. Applying the principal agent model, the book argues that the realization of their global ambitions depends on two domestic structural factors. First, democracies can limit investments with questionable viability, as it can be politically costly for elected leaders to endorse SOE decisions that prove unprofitable for the state. Second, bureaucratic structures overseeing the SOEs can help prevent counterproductive behavior, conditional upon a clear line of authority among bureaucratic principals on matters pertaining to SOE operations. The argument differs from previous approaches by exploring a range of institutional alternatives to privatization for solutions to problems of oil sector governance"--

The four-volume set LNCS 3480-3483 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2005, held in Singapore in May 2005. The four volumes present a total of 540 papers selected from around 2700 submissions. The papers span the whole range of computational science, comprising advanced applications in virtually all sciences making use of computational techniques as well as foundations, techniques, and methodologies from computer science and mathematics, such as high performance computing and communication, networking, optimization, information systems and technologies, scientific visualization, graphics, image processing, data analysis, simulation and modelling, software systems, algorithms, security, multimedia etc.
Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics. Mental Workload, Human Physiology, and Human Energy
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics, EPCE 2020, held as part of the 22nd International Conference, HCI International 2020, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2020. The total of 1439 papers and 238 posters included in the 37 HCII 2020 proceedings volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 6326 submissions. EPCE 2020 includes a total of 60 regular papers; they were organized in topical sections named: mental workload and performance; human physiology, human energy and cognition; cognition and design of complex and safety critical systems; human factors in human autonomy teaming and intelligent systems; cognitive psychology in aviation and automotive. As a result of the Danish Government's announcement, dated April 21, 2020, to ban all large events (above 500 participants) until September 1, 2020, the HCII 2020 conference was held virtually.
Inflammation in Skin-Related Diseases
It has been revealed that inflammation plays an important role in the progression of skin-related diseases, including burn or trauma wounds, diabetes wounds, pressure ulcers, radiation ulcers, keloids, hypertrophic scars, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, etc, causing skin tissue to exhibit over-inflammation, lower inflammation, or chronic inflammation. During this process, bacteria invasion, microbiota dysbiosis, or autoimmunity are known as the general initiators to induce the abnormal activity of immune cells and molecules and could change the crosstalk between immune cells and repair cells (or interstitial cells). Therefore, the research deep into the novel mechanisms of inflammation, the new signal pathway of immunity chain responses, or the new relationship between inflammation and repair cells, is of great interest for the design of novel therapies for skin-related diseases.
Marine Biochemistry
This book provides the latest comprehensive methods for isolation and other novel techniques for marine product development. Furthermore, this book offers knowledge on the biological, medical, and industrial applications of marine-derived medicinal food substances. There has been a tremendous increase in the products derived from marine organisms for commercial application in industries every year. Functional foods of medicinal value are particularly in demand as new technology allows the stabilization of natural ingredients and their availability in pure forms to solve various human diseases. Marine flora and fauna have essential elements and trace minerals that nurture various hormones pro...
