Des d’època isabelina, el món estudiantil ha intentat organitzar-se per satisfer les inquietuds intel·lectuals que hi havia més enllà de les aules i arran d’aquesta voluntat s’han produït, amb més o menys intensitat en funció dels contextos, moltíssimes activitats culturals –des de conferències a representacions teatrals, passant per debats, publicacions periòdiques... Al seu torn, l’Estudi General s’ha maldat per impulsar i estendre la cultura més enllà de l’àmbit estrictament universitari, al servei de la ciutadania, sobretot des de principis del segle XX. Aquest text fa un recorregut, des de mitjan segle XIX fins a la creació del Vicerectorat de Cultura i Esport (1985), per la història de l’activitat cultural de la Universitat de València, que, després de la docència i la recerca, constitueix la seua tercera missió, una dimensió de la vida universitària plena d’interès i encara poc coneguda.
This collection of extended abstracts summarizes the latest research as presented at "Frontiers in Electronic Materials", a Nature conference on correlation effects and memristive phenomena, which took place in 2012. The contributions from leading authors from the US, Japan, Korea, and Europe discuss breakthroughs and challenges in fundamental research as well as the potential for future applications. Hot topics covered include: Electron correlation and unusual quantum effects Oxide heterostructures and interfaces Multiferrroics, spintronics, ferroelectrics and flexoelectrics Processing in nanotechnology Advanced characterization techniques Superionic conductors, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics Chip architectures and computational concepts An essential resource for the researchers of today and tomorrow.
Cancer has become a leading cause of death and disability and a serious yet unforeseen challenge to health systems in low-and middle-income countries. A protracted and polarized cancer transition is under way and fuels a concentration of preventable risk, illness, suffering, impoverishment from ill health, and death among poor populations. Closing this cancer divide is an equity imperative. The world faces a huge, unperceived cost of failure to take action that requires an immediate and large-scale global response. Closing the Cancer Divide presents strategies for innovation in delivery, pricing, procurement, finance, knowledge-building, and leadership that can be scaled up by applying a dia...
Management of Soft Tissue Sarcoma, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive analysis of demographics and natural history currently available for these lesions, based on the authors’ experience with over 10,000 patients. Sections regarding radiation therapy not found in the previous text have been expanded, as have updates on molecular characteristics of sarcomas and chemotherapy studies published since the prior edition. Clinical and molecular diagnoses are addressed, and tumor histopathology is employed as the basis of treatment recommendations including surgery, radiation and systemic therapy. This is the first book to provide specific chemotherapy opinions for every sarcoma subtype. ...
This book covers both the fundamental and applied aspects of advanced Na-ion batteries (NIB) which have proven to be a potential challenger to Li-ion batteries. Both the chemistry and design of positive and negative electrode materials are examined. In NIB, the electrolyte is also a crucial part of the batteries and the recent research, showing a possible alternative to classical electrolytes – with the development of ionic liquid-based electrolytes – is also explored. Cycling performance in NIB is also strongly associated with the quality of the electrode-electrolyte interface, where electrolyte degradation takes place; thus, Na-ion Batteries details the recent achievements in furthering knowledge of this interface. Finally, as the ultimate goal is commercialization of this new electrical storage technology, the last chapters are dedicated to the industrial point of view, given by two startup companies, who developed two different NIB chemistries for complementary applications and markets.
Presenting data on the incidence of cancer worldwide between 1993-1997, this text provides age-specific, standardized and cumulative incidence rates for each population, for all cancers and for each sex. The data has been analysed by site and by histological subtype, using code groupings designed to present data on incidence in a meaningful way.
