In the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Physiology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research.
Mechanics Down Under
The 22nd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM) of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics was hosted by the Australasian mechanics community in the city of Adelaide during the last week of August 2008. Over 1200 delegates met to discuss the latest development in the fields of theoretical and applied mechanics. This volume records the events of the congress and contains selected papers from the sectional lectures and invited lectures presented at the congresses six mini-symposia.
Electrical Resistivity and Conductivity
Motivated by the importance of electrical resistivity and conductivity, important experts in this field grasp most recent researches in this book. It addresses recent advances in electrical resistivity and conductivity modelling, measurement, estimation and sensing methods and implications. This book introduces innovative case studies for "Electrical Resistivity Sensing Methods and Implications", "Resistivity Model of Frozen Soil and High-Density Resistivity Method for Exploration of Discontinuous Permafrost", "Measurement of Electrical Resistivity for Unconventional Structures", "Estimation of Hydrological Parameters from Geoelectric Measurements" and "Assessment of Cryoprotectant Concentration by Electrical Conductivity Measurement and Its Applications in Cryopreservation". These recent advances are well prepared and presented in six chapters. These chapters are carefully selected to reflect current variable techniques, new concepts and methods related to the book's topic from different perspectives.
Asymmetric Catalysis on Industrial Scale
This second edition of the pioneering work on this hot topic captures the major trends and latest achievements in the art of asymmetric catalysis on an industrial scale. A number of completely new real-life case studies written by the world leaders in their respective areas provide a compact and qualified insight into this developing field. The resulting ready reference and handbook collates first-hand and valuable information within a context where it can be easily found. The high-quality contributions illustrate the relevant environments and situations, such as time pressure, how the catalytic step fits into the overall synthesis, or competition with other synthetic approaches, as well as the typical problems encountered in the various phases, including finding/developing the catalyst and optimization of the process or choice of equipment. Both successful and unsuccessful approaches to solve these problems are described.
When the Sunset Disappears
When the Sunset Disappears is a controversial work set in the 1980s. In his boyhood, Li Huaiping was friends with Nan Shan, and in one beautiful spring season, love grew between them. However, in the Cultural Revolution, born into a Kuomintang family, Nan Shan was denounced, and the person in charge of the denunciation was Li Huaiping. The strong conflict of their inner feelings and social roles caused them to be strangers and drift apart. Twenty years later as a warship officer, Li Huaiping encounters Nan Shan at the top of Mount Tai. She has grown from an innocent girl to a mature translator. Li Huaiping expresses his years of inner love and regret to Nan Shan, but she tells him it's too late. Although this is a sad love story, it is exciting literature that shows modern China's ideological emancipation. The novel explores the relationship between civilization and barbarism, science and religion, love and hate, emotion and reason, and the true, the good, and the beautiful.
19th International Congress on Heterocyclic Chemistry
This book presents the abstracts of the 19th International Congress of Heterocyclic Chemistry (19th ICHC) held in Fort Collins, Colorado, 10-15th August 2003 and provides the reader with a topical comprehensive reference source covering the latest developments in the heterocycles area. Each lecture from the 19th ICHC is presented as a one page abstract containing a textual summary of the lecture, including references, figures and contact details of the author(s).Papers are divided into the following sections: heterocyclic natural products, heterocycles in organic synthesis, bioactive heterocycles, heterocyclic materials &related topics, heterocyclic pharmaceuticals.The book of abstracts provides a topical reference source covering the latest developments in the heterocyles area.
The Journey of Liu Xiaobo
An Authorlink Top Five Book of 2020 As a fearless poet and prolific essayist and critic, Liu Xiaobo became one of the most important dissident thinkers in the People's Republic of China. His nonviolent activism steered the nation's prodemocracy currents from Tiananmen Square to support for Tibet and beyond. Liu undertook perhaps his bravest act when he helped draft and gather support for Charter 08, a democratic vision for China that included free elections and the end of the Communist Party's monopoly on power. While imprisoned for "inciting subversion of state power," Liu won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. He was granted medical parole just weeks before dying of cancer in 2017. The Journey of...
Passive and Active Network Measurement
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Passive and Active Measurement, PAM 2005, held in Boston, MA, USA in March/April 2005. The 24 revised full papers and 12 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on TCP measurements, application measurements, network inference and problem diagnosis, topology measurements, wireless network measurements, monitoring facilities, routing and traffic engineering measurements, and spectroscopy and bandwidth estimation.
Fundamentals of Computational Neuroscience
Computational neuroscience is the theoretical study of the brain to uncover the principles and mechanisms that guide the development, organization, information processing, and mental functions of the nervous system. Although not a new area, it is only recently that enough knowledge has been gathered to establish computational neuroscience as a scientific discipline in its own right. Given the complexity of the field, and its increasing importance in progressing our understanding of how the brain works, there has long been a need for an introductory text on what is often assumed to be an impenetrable topic. The new edition of Fundamentals of Computational Neuroscience build on the success and...
