Examining the issues and challenges facing immigrants as they attempt to integrate successfully into Canadian society, Immigrant Integration is a multidisciplinary compendium of research papers, most of which were presented at the 14th National Metropolis Conference, held in Toronto in 2012. This book addresses the growing economic and educational inequality among immigrants and racialized populations in Canada and seeks to guard against further inequities. The authors address policy issues, newcomers' health and well-being, cultural challenges, and resilience in immigrant communities. Each chapter concludes with a clear set of policy recommendations indicating how those in government and th...
This three-volume set LNCS 11901, 11902, and 11903 constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 10thth International Conference on Image and Graphics, ICIG 2019, held in Beijing, China, in August 2019. The 183 full papers presented were selected from 384 submissions and focus on advances of theory, techniques and algorithms as well as innovative technologies of image, video and graphics processing and fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and networking.
Thyroid autoimmunity is a common condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and damage to the gland. This can result in a range of thyroid pathologies, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity is increasing worldwide, and it is more common in women than in men. Recent advances in research on thyroid autoimmunity and pathology have improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of autoimmune thyroid disease and have identified new targets for therapeutic interventions. These advances have also led to improvements in treatment strategies for patients with thyroid autoimmunity. This Research Topic welcomes contributions of any type (clinical trial, correction, editorial, general commentary, hypothesis & theory, methods, mini review, opinion, original research, perspective, policy and practice reviews, review, study protocol, systematic review, technology and code) on topics around recent studies on new treatment strategies for patients with thyroid autoimmunity, thyroid orbitopathy and selected thyroid cancer.
The two-volume set LNAI 13495 and LNAI 13496, constitute the refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 23rd Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop, CLSW 2022, held as a virtual event, during May 14-15, 2022. In total the two-volume set includes 39 full papers and 19 short papers which were carefully reviewed and selected from 214 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: lexical semantics; corpus linguistics; general linguistics, lexical resources; computational linguistics, applications of natural language processing.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of various solutions that address issues related to real-time performance, security, and robustness in emerging automotive platforms. The authors discuss recent advances towards the goal of enabling reliable, secure, and robust, time-critical automotive cyber-physical systems, using advanced optimization and machine learning techniques. The focus is on presenting state-of-the-art solutions to various challenges including real-time data scheduling, secure communication within and outside the vehicle, tolerance to faults, optimizing the use of resource-constrained automotive ECUs, intrusion detection, and developing robust perception and control techniques for increasingly autonomous vehicles.
The last decade has seen rapid development in the use of computational techniques at bulk tissue and single-cell level. However, our knowledge remains limited in this regard, and further progress is needed, especially in inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Controlling, modeling, or predicting cellular phenotype in this context using artificial intelligence (AI) will greatly improve the available in vitro, in situ, in vivo, and in silico methods, but also aid in the understanding of disease pathology and therapeutic efficiency. These methods not only have ramifications for our pathophysiological understanding of tissue function but are also important for advancing AI methods in cell culture, tissue explants, or in vivo for immunologically relevant characteristics of single cells, cell populations, and tissues to predict cell or tissue function.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th Annual Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology, RECOMB 2022, held in San Diego, CA, USA in May 2022. The 17 regular and 23 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 188 submissions. The papers report on original research in all areas of computational molecular biology and bioinformatics.
This textbook describes the biology of different adult stem cell types and outlines the current level of knowledge in the field. It clearly explains the basics of hematopoietic, mesenchymal and cord blood stem cells and also covers induced pluripotent stem cells. Further, it includes a chapter on ethical aspects of human stem cell research, which promotes critical thinking and responsible handling of the material. Based on the international masters program Molecular and Developmental Stem Cell Biology taught at Ruhr-University Bochum and Tongji University Shanghai, the book is a valuable source for postdocs and researchers working with stems cells and also offers essential insights for physicians and dentists wishing to expand their knowledge. This textbook is a valuable complement to Concepts and Applications of Stem Cell Biology, also published in the Learning Materials in Biosciences textbook series.
The papers included in this issue of ECS Transactions were originally presented in the symposium ¿Electrode-Electrolyte Interfaces in Li-ion Batteries ¿, held during the 218th meeting of The Electrochemical Society, in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 10 to 15, 2010.
