This book provides in-depth analysis and guidance in the clinical
diagnosis and treatment, and development of new treatments with
clinical applied prospect of burn and trauma associated lung
injury. It includes study on the pathological change of burn and
trauma associated lung injury such as inhalation injury, lung blast
injury, pulmonary barotrauma, delayed hemopneumothorax, lung injury
associated sepsis, ventilator-induced lung injury and
ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. It is also compiled with many
clinical typical cases, full data and series of pictures. It also
aims at bringing more clinicians' attention to burn-/trauma-induced
lung injury, making them familiar with the relevant theories and
clinical diagnose; guiding the treatment of burn and trauma
associated lung injury and improving the prognosis and life quality
of patients; stimulating more clinicians and researchers to further
explore the pathological mechanism and new treatments of burn and
trauma associated lung injury. It persists in combining theory and
practice, and highlights practical application to reflect the
theoretical value. It is very suitable for the medical teaching and
can also be used as a reference book for medical doctoral students,
postgraduates, and medical trainees receiving continuing education
from critical care medicine, burn & trauma surgery, and
emergency medicine.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Robotic
Grasping and Manipulation Challenge, RGMC 2016, held at IROS 2016,
Daejeon, South Korea, in October 2016.The 13 revised full papers
presented were carefully reviewed and are describing the rules,
results, competitor systems and future directions of the inaugural
competition. The competition was designed to allow researchers
focused on the application of robot systems to compare the
performance of hand designs as well as autonomous grasping and
manipulation solutions across a common set of tasks. The
competition was comprised of three tracks that included
hand-in-hand grasping, fully autonomous grasping, and simulation.
This book covers the state-of-the-art technologies for positioning
with nanometer resolutions and accuracies, particularly those based
on piezoelectric actuators and MEMS actuators. The latest advances
are described, including the design of nanopositioning devices,
sensing and actuation technologies and control methods for
nanopositioning. This is an ideal book for mechanical and
electrical engineering students and researchers; micro and
nanotechnology researchers and graduate students; as well as those
working in the precision instrumentation or semiconductor
industries.
The field of robotic vision has advanced dramatically recently with
the development of new range sensors. Tremendous progress has been
made resulting in significant impact on areas such as robotic
navigation, scene/environment understanding, and visual learning.
This edited book provides a solid and diversified reference source
for some of the most recent important advancements in the field of
robotic vision. The book starts with articles that describe new
techniques to understand scenes from 2D/3D data such as estimation
of planar structures, recognition of multiple objects in the scene
using different kinds of features as well as their spatial and
semantic relationships, generation of 3D object models, approach to
recognize partially occluded objects, etc. Novel techniques are
introduced to improve 3D perception accuracy with other sensors
such as a gyroscope, positioning accuracy with a visual servoing
based alignment strategy for microassembly, and increasing object
recognition reliability using related manipulation motion models.
For autonomous robot navigation, different vision-based
localization and tracking strategies and algorithms are discussed.
New approaches using probabilistic analysis for robot navigation,
online learning of vision-based robot control, and 3D motion
estimation via intensity differences from a monocular camera are
described. This collection will be beneficial to graduate students,
researchers, and professionals working in the area of robotic
vision. Â

As I left the milongas, the sentiments that stayed in my heart melt
into colors and lines, weaved themselves together and urged me to
draw. I simply obeyed, as I obeyed the divine sound of a beautiful
song. This book is a dance. It is a dance that contains everything
that I have felt, loved, and treasured in my tango journey.
In his thesis, Xiaoyu Sun conducts the first total synthesis of all
possible stereoisomers of plakortide E and also confirms the
absolute configuration of natural plakortide E. Xiaoyu Sun
subsequently converts Plakortide E methyl ester to plakortone B in
a biomimetic conversion. Construction and functionalization of
cyclic peroxides are notoriously difficult due to the very low O-O
bond dissociation energy. Plaktoride E is isolated from the
Jamaican marine sponge platorits halichondrioides and contains a
five-membered peroxide ring, with oxygen atoms linked to tertiary
C4 and C6 centers. The methodology used for synthesizing highly
substituted cyclic peroxides is novel and useful, and not only
extends the field of Pd-catalyzed reactions, but also provides a
convenient synthetic approach for the preparation of the
1,2-dioxolanes series. Plakortide E and plakortone B are bioactive,
which means that the synthetic studies on them and their analogs
are pivotal in drug discovery.
