This book elucidates the role of brain-gut peptides in
neuroendocrine regulation for understanding how these peptides
interact with the reproductive neuroendocrine axis and for
developing novel therapeutic agents for fertility or contraceptive
therapies.
Because of the long-standing Canada-U.S. lumber trade dispute and
the current pressure on the world's forests as a renewable energy
source, much attention has been directed toward the modelling of
international trade in wood products. Two types of trade models are
described in this book: one is rooted in economic theory and
mathematical programming, and the other consists of two
econometric/statistical models--a gravity model rooted in theory
and an approach known as GVAR that relies on time series analyses.
The purpose of the book is to provide the background theory behind
models and facilitate readers in easily constructing their own
models to analyse policy questions that they wish to address,
whether in forestry or some other sector. Examples in the book are
meant to illustrate how models can be used to say something about a
variety of issues, including identification of the gains and losses
to various players in the North American softwood lumber business,
and the potential for redirecting sales of lumber to countries
outside the United States. The discussion is expanded to include
other products besides lumber, and used to examine, for example,
the effects of log export restrictions by one nation on all other
forestry jurisdictions, the impacts of climate policies as they
relate to the global forest sector, and the impact of oil prices on
forest product markets throughout the world. This book will appeal
to practising economists and researchers who wish to examine
various policies that affect international trade, whether their
interest is local or international in scope. Because the book
provides the theoretical bases underlying various models, students
and practitioners will find this a valuable reference book or
supplementary textbook.
The book describes the main findings of the EU-funded project
IDIHOM (Industrialization of High-Order Methods - A Top-Down
Approach). The goal of this project was the improvement,
utilization and demonstration of innovative higher-order simulation
capabilities for large-scale aerodynamic application challenges in
the aircraft industry. The IDIHOM consortium consisted of 21
organizations, including aircraft manufacturers, software vendors,
as well as the major European research establishments and several
universities, all of them with proven expertise in the field of
computational fluid dynamics. After a general introduction to the
project, the book reports on new approaches for curved
boundary-grid generation, high-order solution methods and
visualization techniques. It summarizes the achievements,
weaknesses and perspectives of the new simulation capabilities
developed by the project partners for various industrial
applications, and includes internal- and external-aerodynamic as
well as multidisciplinary test cases.

Leverage Kubernetes for the rapid adoption of emerging
technologies. Kubernetes is the future of enterprise platform
development and has become the most popular, and often considered
the most robust, container orchestration system available today.
This book focuses on platforming technologies that power the
Internet of Things, Blockchain, Machine Learning, and the many
layers of data and application management supporting them. Advanced
Platform Development with Kubernetes takes you through the process
of building platforms with these in-demand capabilities. You'll
progress through the development of Serverless, CICD integration,
data processing pipelines, event queues, distributed query engines,
modern data warehouses, data lakes, distributed object storage,
indexing and analytics, data routing and transformation, query
engines, and data science/machine learning environments. You'll
also see how to implement and tie together numerous essential and
trending technologies including: Kafka, NiFi, Airflow, Hive,
Keycloak, Cassandra, MySQL, Zookeeper, Mosquitto, Elasticsearch,
Logstash, Kibana, Presto, Mino, OpenFaaS, and Ethereum. The book
uses Golang and Python to demonstrate the development integration
of custom container and Serverless functions, including interaction
with the Kubernetes API. The exercises throughout teach Kubernetes
through the lens of platform development, expressing the power and
flexibility of Kubernetes with clear and pragmatic examples.
Discover why Kubernetes is an excellent choice for any individual
or organization looking to embark on developing a successful data
and application platform. What You'll Learn Configure and install
Kubernetes and k3s on vendor-neutral platforms, including generic
virtual machines and bare metal Implement an integrated development
toolchain for continuous integration and deployment Use data
pipelines with MQTT, NiFi, Logstash, Kafka and Elasticsearch
Install a serverless platform with OpenFaaS Explore blockchain
network capabilities with Ethereum Support a multi-tenant data
science platform and web IDE with JupyterHub, MLflow and Seldon
Core Build a hybrid cluster, securely bridging on-premise and
cloud-based Kubernetes nodes Who This Book Is For System and
software architects, full-stack developers, programmers, and DevOps
engineers with some experience building and using containers. This
book also targets readers who have started with Kubernetes and need
to progress from a basic understanding of the technology and "Hello
World" example to more productive, career-building projects.
