The Diabetic Pancreas
Since the publication of the first edition of The Diabetic Pancreas in 1977, much progress has been made in various areas of diabetes research. While only a rela tively short while ago diabetes was considered a single disease, in more recent years it has become apparent that it is a heterogeneous group of disorders, all of which are characterized by a decreased tolerance of carbohydrates and most of which have a genetic basis, although the genetic types vary. In more recent years, an International Work Group sponsored by the National Diabetes Data Group of the NIH proposed a now generally accepted classification, according to which the insulin-dependent ketosis-prone diabetes, formerly and i...
Cured II - LENT Cancer Survivorship Research And Education
Multimodal treatment lies at the heart of the improvement in cancer cure rates. However, the more aggressive the treatment, the more adverse effects in normal tissues can be anticipated. Against this background, a major paradigm shift has taken place in that there is a new focus on cancer survivorship and quality of life: the life worth saving must be worth living. This volume is based on the CURED II conference held in May 2007, which was attended by scientists from many leading institutions. The volume comprises 18 chapters by leading experts who address a variety of important topics relating to late treatment effects, such as mechanisms and evolution of injury, risk factors, the role of screening, options for interventions, second malignancies, and prevention. It is hoped that it will assist the reader in understanding how to prevent and treat the long-term side-effects of irradiation, thus improving the quality of life of long-term survivors of cancer.
Luxury in the Low Countries
Painting a panoramic view of conspicuous consumption in the Netherlands and Flanders from 1500 to the present, this collection of essays explores the economic forces that produce a boom in luxury goods. Working from disciplines such as archaeology, art history, historical ethnology, linguistics, and media studies, these scholarly contributors explore both the wealth and the social display that fuels the search for rare commodities.

Modeling, Design, and Optimization of Net-Zero Energy Buildings
Bei Neubauten wird von den meisten Industrieländern langfristig das Ziel von Netto-Nullenergiegebäuden verfolgt. Dieses Buch hilft Planern bei der optimalen Nutzung von Simulationstools für die Planung von Netto-Nullenergiegebäuden. In dem Buch werden sowohl moderne Modellierungstechniken als auch eingehende Einzelfallstudien vorgestellt. Das Buch wurde von international renommierten Experten erarbeitet und ist im Rahmen folgender Forschungsvorhaben der Internationalen Energieagentur entstanden: Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) und Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (EBC).
Data Analytics for Renewable Energy Integration: Informing the Generation and Distribution of Renewable Energy
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 5th ECML PKDD Workshop on Data Analytics for Renewable Energy Integration, DARE 2017, held in Skopje, Macedonia, in September 2017. The 11 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book and handle topics such as time series forecasting, the detection of faults, cyber security, smart grid and smart cities, technology integration, demand response and many others.
Heat Pump Controls to Exploit the Energy Flexibility of Building Thermal Loads
This book describes different control strategies adapted to heat pumps, at the purpose of increasing energy flexibility in buildings. It reports on the development of both simple rule-based controls (RBC) and advanced model predictive controls (MPC). These are tested and compared in both simulation and experimental setups. The book analyzes in detail all the different steps, including the development and tuning of the controllers, their testing in experimental settings and simulation studies. Bridging between advanced control systems theory concepts and practical needs, and discussing the advantages and main challenges of MPC and RBC controllers in terms of efficiency of heat pump operation, electricity prices, emission values, and users’ comfort, this book offers an in-depth evaluation of innovative control strategies applied to energy demand management in buildings.
The Business of War
This book offers a substantial reconsideration of early modern warfare and its relationship to the power of the state.
