The Postnormal Times Reader
IIIT Books-In-Brief Series is a valuable collection of the Institute’s key publications written in condensed form to give readers a core understanding of the main contents of the original. Postnormal times are best defined as ‘an in-between period where old orthodoxies are dying, new ones have yet to be born, and very few things seem to make sense’. or, as Ezio Mauro puts it: ‘we are hanging between the “no longer” and the “not yet” and thus we are necessary unstable –nothing around us is fixed, not even our direction of travel.’ The postnormal times theory attempts to make sense of a rapidly changing world, where uncertainty is the dominant theme and ignorance has become...
Neurogenic Inflammation
Take advantage of this unique book - the first single-volume resource to explore all important aspects of neurogenic inflammation. An unrivaled compilation of up-to-date information, Neurogenic Inflammation contains chapters written by recognized authorities in their areas of expertise. It covers the basic mechanisms and the pathophysiological implications of neurogenic inflammatory processes and points to novel therapeutic strategies in the field of inflammatory and related diseases. The book highlights the many systems and mechanisms involved in neurogenic inflammation, including vasodilatation, plasma extravasation, leukocyte adhesion, smooth muscle contraction, exocrine gland secretion, and recruitment of inflammatory cells. The authors discuss the contribution of neurogenic inflammation to human diseases, such as migraine, asthma, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, linked to the ubiquitous distribution of sensory nerves to organs and tissues at both the somatic and visceral level. Neurogenic Inflammation is the clear choice for a one-step, authoritative guide to the latest developments in this dynamic field.
Information Hiding
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the7th International Workshop on Information Hiding, IH 2005, held in Barcelona, Spain in June 2005. The 28 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully selected from 90 papers submitted. The papers are organized in topical sections on anonymity, watermarking, theory, watermark attacks, steganography, hiding in unusual content, steganalysis, software watermarking, and fingerprinting.
Construction and utilization of digital twins for personalized therapeutic predictions
Modern healthcare faces a significant challenge, namely that 25-70% of patients with common diseases do not benefit from standard treatments despite the availability of over 13,000 drugs registered in DrugBank. This discrepancy is likely due to these diseases' complex and heterogeneous molecular nature rather than a lack of therapeutic options. Emerging technologies have revealed the immense molecular complexity underlying common diseases. For instance, singlecell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has demonstrated altered gene interactions in and across multiple cell types in numerous tissues. Furthermore, these technologies have revealed vast molecular differences between patients with the same di...
Coastal Hazards
This book covers the gamut of coastal hazards that result from short-term low-frequency events and have high-magnitude and far-reaching impacts on coastal zones the world over. Much of the world’s population now lives in low-lying coastal zones that are inherently vulnerable to natural hazards such as flooding from hurricanes, tropical storms and northeastern storm surges; shoreline (beach and dune) erosion; cliff and bluff failures; and saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers used for drinking water supplies. In addition to the usual range of hydrometeorological disasters in coastal zones, this book covers tsunami impacts and warning systems as well as global perspectives of sea-level ris...
Ecological Restoration
This book combines theory and practice plus ideas and case studies on ecological restoration from local to global scales. Includes why and how to restore coastal zones, forests and wetlands and their economic and social interests. Practitioners, professionals, researchers and students will find useful ideas and tools for their everyday work in this book.
