Gut microbiome has become the greatest attraction of the research community in the recent past due to their diverse compositions and involvement in the regulation of human health and disease. With the development of high-throughput genomic analysis and other scientific advances, the gut microbiome has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for both infectious and autoimmune diseases. Especially, respiratory infections such as tuberculosis and COVID-19 have been shown to have a major impact on disease pathogenesis caused by gut dysbiosis which further affects the regulation of the gut-lung axis and contributes to disease progression. On the other hand, gut dysbiosis has been reported as a ...
This is the proceedings of the selected papers presented at 2011 International Conference on Engineering Education and Management (ICEEM2011) held in Guangzhou, China, during November 18-20, 2011. ICEEM2011 is one of the most important conferences in the field of Engineering Education and Management and is co-organized by Guangzhou University, The University of New South Wales, Zhejiang University and Xi’an Jiaotong University. The conference aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, engineers, and students to present their new advances and research results in the field of Engineering Education and Management. This volume comprises 121 papers selected from over 400 p...
Contrary to the view held by many who study American foreign policy, public diplomacy has seldom played a decisive role in the achievement of the country's foreign policy objectives. The reasons for this are not that the policies and interventions are ill-conceived or badly executed, although this is sometimes the case. Rather, the factors that limit the effectiveness of public diplomacy lie almost entirely outside the control of American policy-makers. In particular, the resistance of foreign opinion-leaders to ideas and information about American motives and actions that do not square with their pre-conceived notions of the United States and its activities in the world is an enormous and perhaps insurmountable wall that limits the impact of public diplomacy. This book does not conclude that public diplomacy has no place in the repertoire of American foreign policy. Instead, the expectations held for this soft power tool need to be more realistic. Public diplomacy should not be viewed as a substitute for hard power tools that are more likely to be correlated with actual American influence as opposed to the somewhat nebulous concept of American standing.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 3rd international Conference on Manufacturing Science and Engineering (ICMSE 2012), March 27-29, 2012, Xiamen, China
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International ICST Conference on Wireless Internet, WICON 2013, held in Shanghai, China, in April 2012. The 20 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover topics such as vehicular communications and heterogeneous networks, cognitive radio and multi-antenna systems, networks and beyond, ad hoc and mesh networks.
The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research, development, and education, at a high level and in both printed and electronic form. Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community, with numerous individuals, as well as with prestigious organizations and societies, LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science research forum available. The scope of LNCS, including its subseries LNAI and LNBI, spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields. In parallel to the printed book, each new volume is published electronically in LNCS Online.
Since conventional cooling techniques are increasing falling short of meeting the ever-growing cooling demands of high heat generating devices, thermal systems, and processes, advanced and innovative cooling technologies are of immense importance to deal with such high thermal management. Hence, this book covers a number of key topics related to advanced cooling approaches, their performance, and applications, including: Evaporative air cooling; Spray impingement cooling; Heat pump-based cooling; Modular cooling for photovoltaic plant; Nucleate pool boiling of refrigerants; Transient flashing spray cooling and application; Compressor cooling systems for industry. The book is aimed at a wide variety of people from graduate students and researchers to manufacturers who are involved or interested in the areas of thermal management systems, cooling technologies, and their applications.
