This textbook highlights a concise introduction to quantum mechanics in a readable and serious manner.

This Research Topic is part of the Ferroptosis in Stroke, Neurotrauma and Neurodegeneration series: Ferroptosis in Stroke, Neurotrauma and Neurodegeneration Ferroptosis is a recently defined iron-dependent non-apoptotic form of cell death. Diverse stressors can destabilize metabolic processes in the cell, leading to excessive intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species that culminate in the collapse and rupture of the membrane structure of cellular organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosome. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death characterized by the accumulation of intracellular iron and lipid ROS. The primary morphologic manifestations of ferroptosis inclu...

The book demonstrates that during the build up to all-out war the cartoon was not only important in the sphere of Shanghai popular culture in the eyes of the publishers and readers of pictorial magazines but that it occupied a central place in the primary discourse of Chinese modern art history.
