This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management, WAIM 2011, held in Wuhan, China in September 2011. The 53 revised full papers presented together with two abstracts and one full paper of the keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 181 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on query processing, uncertain data, social media, semantics, data mining, cloud data, multimedia data, user models, data management, graph data, name disambiguation, performance, temporal data, XML, spatial data and event detection.
Transformation optics has been widely used for controlling various fields/waves, such as electromagnetic fields, acoustic waves, thermal fields, and water waves. Many novel devices with unique functions (e.g., invisibility cloak, perfect imaging, etc.) can be designed with the help of Transformation optics. In recent years, many new research branches in transformation optics are developing, such as simultaneous controlling multiple physical fields, deep learning for designing invisibility cloaks, optical surface transformation, and so on. This Research Topic will focus on any frontier areas and research branches related to transformation optics.
This book highlights recent advances in and diverse techniques for exploring the plasma membrane’s structure and function. It starts with two chapters reviewing the history of membrane research and listing recent advances regarding membrane structure, such as the semi-mosaic model for red blood cell membranes and the protein layer-lipid-protein island model for nucleated tissue cell membranes. It subsequently focuses on the localization and interactions of membrane components, dynamic processes of membrane transport and transmembrane signal transduction. Classic and cutting-edge techniques (e.g. high-resolution atomic force microscopy and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy) used in biophysics and chemistry are presented in a very comprehensive manner, making them useful and accessible to both researchers in the field and novices studying cell membranes. This book provides readers a deeper understanding of the plasma membrane’s organization at the single molecule level and opens a new way to reveal the relationship between the membrane’s structure and functions, making it essential reading for researchers in various fields.
This book is the first comprehensive book in the world on co-processing of wastes as Alternative Fuels and Raw materials (AFRs) in cement kilns. It discusses how AFR from wastes can play an important role in contributing toward reducing the use of fossil fuel and costs while conserving natural resources, lowering global CO2 emissions, and reducing the need for landfills. The use of AFR in resource and energy-intensive industries is called co-processing, which is discussed in detail highlighting both advantages and disadvantages. Co-processing in cement kilns is a technology that is practiced globally on a large scale for environmentally sound and ecologically sustaining management of wastes ...
China Satellite Navigation Conference (CSNC 2021) Proceedings presents selected research papers from CSNC 2021 held during 22nd-25th May, 2021 in Nanchang, China. These papers discuss the technologies and applications of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and the latest progress made in the China BeiDou System (BDS) especially. They are divided into 10 topics to match the corresponding sessions in CSNC2021 which broadly covered key topics in GNSS. Readers can learn about the BDS and keep abreast of the latest advances in GNSS techniques and applications.
