deeper understanding of themselves and those around them.
The mass of available data about World War II has never been as
large as it is now, yet it has become increasingly complicated to
interpret it in a meaningful way. Packed with cleverly designed
graphics, charts and diagrams, World War II: Infographics offers a
new approach by telling the story of the conflict visually.
Encompassing the conflict from its roots to its aftermath, more
than 50 themes are treated in great detail, ranging from the rise
of the Far Right in pre-war Europe and mass mobilization, to
evolving military tactics and technology and the financial and
human cost of the conflict. Throughout, the shifting balance of
power between the Axis and the Allies and the global nature of the
war and its devastation are made strikingly clear.
Nanochemistry: Chemistry of Nanoparticle Formation and Interactions
provides an overview of the chemistry aspects of nanoparticle
science, including nanoparticle synthesis, chemical properties,
stability, applications and self-assembly behavior. The critical
concepts discussed in this book represent the necessary toolbox for
enabling the rational design of nanoparticle-based materials for
target applications. After an introduction to standard analytical
techniques used for nanoparticle characterization, four separate
chapters cover inorganic, organic, polymer nanoparticles, and
carbon nanostructures to highlight the synthetic protocols,
structural intricacies, and chemical properties specific to each of
these material classes. Finally, physicochemical phenomena
governing self-assembly behavior of nanoparticles are also
discussed in detail separately. This book is intended for senior
undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students and research
scientists in nanoscience and nanotechnology, material science,
chemistry, physics, biomedical sciences and relevant engineering
fields that want to develop a deeper understanding of the governing
chemical principles on the nanoscale.
This book examines the memoir of Toussaint Louverture-a former
slave, general in the French army, and leader of the Haitian
Revolution-and the memoir of his son, Isaac. The Revolution and its
leaders have been studied and written about extensively. Until
recently (2004), however, the memoir of Toussaint has received
little attention-and only as a historical document. This is the
first study that explores the 1802 work foremost as a literary
text, a creative production that deploys the techniques of fiction
and drama to make truth claims about the past; moreover, this is
the first book-length study of Isaac Louverture's memoir. The two
texts are read as examples of how black men thought of themselves
as "men" (citizens) and, therefore, how they expressed their
masculinity, at that historical moment, as experiences of mourning
and loss. This study builds upon three areas of scholarship: the
tradition of memoir writing; historicist readings of Toussaint's
memoir; and descriptions and theories of men and masculinity within
the black Atlantic. The study distinguishes itself in ways that
will make it of interest to more than just historians: in addition
to using the intersection of race and masculinity as an analytical
tool, it speaks to the nature of literary creativity and it draws
from studies examining the relationship between history, memory,
and fiction. As a result, scholars and students in literary and
cultural criticism, as well as those in gender and diasporic
studies, will also find this study of interest and value.
"The world is a finite body, and therefore has finite power." John
Philoponus is remembered for using this Aristotelian premise to
break ranks with Aristotle and argue that the world is not
everlasting. This investigation reconsiders Philoponus’s
arguments from finite power, and then explores the aftermath of
this line of thinking in the works of three lesser-known Arabic
intellectuals active in the generation before Avicenna (d. 1037):
Abū l-Ḫayr Ibn Suwār (d. after 1017), Abū al-Ḥasan
al-ʿĀmirī (d. 992), and Abū Sahl al-Masīḥī (d. after 1025).
Each engaged with this dictum in unique and novel ways, and in so
doing anticipated a number of central features of Avicenna’s
writings. The history of this argument is of crucial importance for
understanding the evolution of natural philosophy and metaphysics
in this formative period, away from tedious and simplistic
arguments about creation and towards a more robust modal ontology
based on intrinsic and extrinsic necessity.
A renowned physicist and the head of MI5 battle threats to the
Empire and solve extraordinary mysteries across the globe. The 29th

snow-covered town populated by a hard people who are set in their
ways and don't take too kindly to strangers. It's a place where
folks mind their own business - however odd it may be - and do as
they please. That is, until the calm, quiet sheriff decides to do
his job...
Information is a core concept in animal communication: individuals
routinely produce, acquire, process and store information, which
provides the basis for their social life. This book focuses on how
animal acoustic signals code information and how this coding can be
shaped by various environmental and social constraints. Taking
birds and mammals, including humans, as models, the authors explore
such topics as communication strategies for "public" and "private"
signaling, static and dynamic signaling, the diversity of coded
information and the way information is decoded by the receiver. The
book appeals to a wide audience, ranging from bioacousticians,
ethologists and ecologists to evolutionary biologists. Intended for
students and researchers alike, it promotes the idea that Shannon
and Weaver's Mathematical Theory of Communication still represents
a strong framework for understanding all aspects of the
communication process, including its dynamic dimensions.

This volume discusses the cellular and molecular techniques used to
study and characterize the different components of the CRAC channel
signaling pathway. The chapters in this book cover topics such as
fluorescence-based measurements of the CRAC channel activity in
cell populations; patch-clamp recording of the CRAC channel in
STIM-Orai overexpressing cells and native systems; western-blotting
and co-immunoprecipitation of endogenous STIM/ORAI and protein
partners; shRNA-mediated gene silencing; and the SC-SMD system.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips
on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and
cutting-edge, The CRAC Channel: Methods and Protocols is a valuable
resource for any researcher interested in learning more about the
CRAC channel, as its activation mechanism and roles in cellular
functions have yet to be completely explored.
This authored monograph covers a viability to approach to traffic
management by advising to vehicles circulated on the network the
velocity they should follow for satisfying global traffic
conditions;. It presents an investigation of three structural
innovations: The objective is to broadcast at each instant and at
each position the advised celerity to vehicles, which could be read
by auxiliary speedometers or used by cruise control devices.
Namely, 1. Construct regulation feedback providing at each time and
position advised velocities (celerities) for minimizing congestion
or other requirements. 2. Taking into account traffic constraints
of different type, the first one being to remain on the roads, to
stop at junctions, etc. 3. Use information provided by the probe
vehicles equipped with GPS to the traffic regulator; 4. Use other
global traffic measures of vehicles provided by different types of
sensors; These results are based on convex analysis, intertemporal
optimization and viability theory as mathematical tools as well as
viability algorithms on the computing side, instead of conventional
techniques such as partial differential equations and their
resolution by finite difference or finite elements algorithms. The
target audience primarily covers researchers and mathematically
oriented engineers but the book may also be beneficial for graduate
students.
Researchers in the field of ecological genomics aim to determine
how a genome or a population of genomes interacts with its
environment across ecological and evolutionary timescales.
Ecological genomics is trans-disciplinary by nature. Ecologists
have turned to genomics to be able to elucidate the mechanistic
bases of the biodiversity their research tries to understand.
Genomicists have turned to ecology in order to better explain the
functional cellular and molecular variation they observed in their
model organisms. We provide an advanced-level book that covers this
recent research and proposes future development for this field. A
synthesis of the field of ecological genomics emerges from this
volume. Ecological Genomics covers a wide array of organisms
(microbes, plants and animals) in order to be able to identify
central concepts that motivate and derive from recent
investigations in different branches of the tree of life.
Ecological Genomics covers 3 fields of research that have most
benefited from the recent technological and conceptual developments
in the field of ecological genomics: the study of life-history
evolution and its impact of genome architectures; the study of the
genomic bases of phenotypic plasticity and the study of the genomic
bases of adaptation and speciation.
