“Think of a scenario, say it in five words or less, and I will sew it for you.” P.Nosa uses a sewing machine to draw. He makes custom patches inspired by people’s imagination. The machine is portable: powered by a solar panel and a bicycle that generates electricity. Here is a collection of scenarios and their underlying stories from sewing tours across the United States (2004 - 2014).

This anthology traces the fascinating progress from plant pathology to biotechnology through 38 scientific papers on Agrobacterium, published over the past century. Included are the seminal scientific papers on the biology and application of Agrobacterium with introductory commentaries mostly by those involved in the original work. The commentaries give background to the papers and explain the problems faced and the techniques used, providing insight into the way fundamental research progresses.Agrobacterium tumefaciens has played a major role in the astounding advances that have been made over the past several decades in the areas of plant genetics, plant molecular biology, and plant geneti...
This book addresses the most crucial challenges facing managers of MNCs as they operate across different institutional frameworks and complex cultural contexts. What is the optimal balance between local responsiveness and global integration? How can a common culture be developed in the face of profound cultural differences? How can knowledge be transferred across the MNC? What employment policies are legitimate in a world of differing standards?
The steady increase in computational power induces an equally steady increase in the complexity of the engineering models and associated computer codes. This particularly affects the modeling of the mechanical response of materials. Material behavior is nowadays modeled in the strongly nonlinear range by tak ing into account finite strains, complex hysteresis effects, fracture phenomena and multiscale features. Progress in this field is of fundamental importance for many engineering disciplines, especially those concerned with material testing, safety, reliability and serviceability analyses of engineering structures. In recent years many important achievements have been made in the field of...
