Water
The story of the most abundant substance on Earth, from its origins in the birth of stars billions of years ago to its importance in the living world. Water is so ubiquitous in our lives that it is easy to take for granted. The average American uses ninety gallons of water a day; nearly every liquid we encounter is mostly water--milk, for example, is 87 percent water. Clouds and ice--water in other forms--affect our climate. Water is the most abundant substance on Earth, and the third-most abundant molecule in the universe. In this lavishly illustrated volume, science writer Jack Challoner tells the story of water, from its origins in the birth of stars to its importance in the living world....
Intelligent Computing Theories and Application
This two-volume set of LNCS 13393 and LNCS 13394 constitutes - in conjunction with the volume LNAI 13395 - the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2022, held in Xi'an, China, in August 2022. The 209 full papers of the three proceedings volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 449 submissions. This year, the conference concentrated mainly on the theories and methodologies as well as the emerging applications of intelligent computing. Its aim was to unify the picture of contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral concept that highlights the trends in advanced computational intelligence and bridges theoretical research with applications. Therefore, the theme for this conference was “Advanced Intelligent Computing Technology and Applications”. Papers focused on this theme were solicited, addressing theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology.
Genetic and Evolutionary Computing
This book contains selected papers presented at ICGEC 2021, the 14th International Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computing, held from October 21-23, 2021 in Jilin City, China. The conference was technically co-sponsored by Springer, Northeast Electric Power University Fujian University of Technology, Shandong University of Science and Technology, and Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. It is intended as an international forum for the researchers and professionals in all areas of genetic and evolutionary computing. And the readers may learn the up-to-date techniques of the mentioned topics, including swarm intelligence, artificial intelligence, information hiding and data mining techniques, which can help them to bring new ideas or apply the designed approaches from the collected papers to their professional jobs.
Advances in Wavelet Theory and Their Applications in Engineering, Physics and Technology
The use of the wavelet transform to analyze the behaviour of the complex systems from various fields started to be widely recognized and applied successfully during the last few decades. In this book some advances in wavelet theory and their applications in engineering, physics and technology are presented. The applications were carefully selected and grouped in five main sections - Signal Processing, Electrical Systems, Fault Diagnosis and Monitoring, Image Processing and Applications in Engineering. One of the key features of this book is that the wavelet concepts have been described from a point of view that is familiar to researchers from various branches of science and engineering. The content of the book is accessible to a large number of readers.
Handbook of the Politics of China
The Handbook of the Politics of China is a comprehensive resource introducing readers to the very latest in research on Chinese politics. David Goodman provides an introduction to the key structures and issues, providing the foundations on which later learning can be built. Including a comprehensive bibliography, it is an ideal reference work for undergraduate and postgraduate students and academics. The Handbook contains four sections of new and original research, dealing with leadership and institutions, public policy, political economy and social change, and international relations. Each of the 26 chapters has been written by a leading internationally-established authority in the field and each reviews the literature on the topic, and presents the latest findings of research. Presenting the state of the art of the field, this reader-oriented Handbook is an essential primer for the study of China’s politics.

Development of Field Propagation Model for Urban Area
Wireless communication is one of the most dynamic and vibrant areas of technology development in the communication field today. It has been found that severe climatic conditions disturb the propagation of electromagnetic signals at higher frequencies (greater than 30 MHz). The disturbance is mainly due to molecular absorption by oxygen for frequencies ranging between 60 and 118 GHz and due to water vapour in 22, 183 and 325 GHz bands. Rain and fog has the most significant impact, since the size of the rain drops is of the order of the wavelength of the transmitted signal. This results in energy absorption by the rain drops themselves, and as a secondary effect energy is scattered by the drop...
Genetic variants and metabolic diseases, volume II
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of co-morbidities that collectively increase an individual’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Per the World Health Organization (WHO), MetS is typically characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Building on this point, some of the major risk factors for development of MetS include increased weight or an obese phenotype, lack of physical activity, and genetics. Interestingly, the last decade has witnessed a deluge of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) that have linked hundreds of genomic with both collective MetS traits, as well as individual metabolic disorders...
How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls
"Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes readers on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious. In turn, the latest discoveries about animal mechanics are inspiring scientists to invent robots and devices that move with similar elegance and efficiency. Hu follows scientists as ...
