Geometric Modeling and Processing - GMP 2006
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Geometric Modeling and Processing, GMP 2006, held in Pittsburgh, PA, USA in July 2006. The 36 revised full papers and 21 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 84 submissions. All current issues in the area of geometric modeling and processing are addressed and the impact in such areas as computer graphics, computer vision, machining, robotics, and scientific visualization is shown. The papers are organized in topical sections on shape reconstruction, curves and surfaces, geometric processing, shape deformation, shape description, shape recognition, geometric modeling, subdivision surfaces, and engineering applications.
Drug Development for Parasite-induced Diarrheal Diseases
One of the top four contributors to the global burden of disease is diarrheal infections. Intestinal parasites are major causes of morbidity and mortality associated with diarrheal diseases in both the developed and developing world. Amebiasis is responsible for 50 million cases of invasive disease and 70,000 deaths annually in the world. Giardiasis has an estimated worldwide prevalence of 280 million cases annually. In developed countries, Giardia lamblia infects about 2% of adults and 6-8% of children. The prevalence of G. lamblia infection is generally higher in developing countries, ranging from 3% to 90%. Furthermore, giardial infections contribute substantially to the 2.5 million annua...

Free the Beaches
“A well-documented—and dispiriting—history of prejudice and inequality . . . An unsparing exposé of white supremacy among Northern elites.” —Kirkus Reviews During the long, hot summers of the late 1960s and 1970s, one man began a campaign to open some of America’s most exclusive beaches to minorities and the urban poor. That man was anti-poverty activist and one-time presidential candidate Ned Coll of Connecticut, a state that permitted public access to a mere seven miles of its 253-mile shoreline. Nearly all of the state’s coast was held privately, for the most part by white, wealthy residents. This book is the first to tell the story of the controversial protester who gather...

Wheat Disease Resistance: Diagnosis, Germplasm Mining, and Molecular Breeding
As one of the primary staple crops, wheat feeds around 35% of the world’s population, playing a crucial role in ensuring global food security. Wheat production faces numerous threats, among which pests and diseases cause an estimated 10%-16% loss of global wheat yield. Fortunately, some wheat and its related species carry genes that allow for resistance to one or more diseases during the growing period. How to identify, locate and clone these resistance genes is one of the important keys to rapid and effective wheat breeding for disease-resistant varieties. The utilization of excellent germplasm resources and the cultivation of new varieties cannot be separated from the development of key technologies. Recent innovations in genomic tools have made it possible to edit the susceptible genes in crops, opening up new opportunities in molecular breeding for disease-resistant varieties. Meanwhile, further development of crop variety identification and screening systems to achieve disease-resistant variety isolation and evaluation in a high-precision, high-sensitivity, and high-throughput manner can provide effective technical support for accelerating disease-resistant wheat breeding.
