The confocal microscope is appropriate for imaging cells or the
measurement of industrial artefacts. However, junior researchers
and instrument users sometimes misuse imaging concepts and
metrological characteristics, such as position resolution in
industrial metrology and scale resolution in bio-imaging. And,
metrological characteristics or influence factors in 3D measurement
such as height assessment error caused by 3D coupling effect are so
far not yet identified. In this book, the authors outline their
practices by the working experiences on standardization and system
design. This book assumes little previous knowledge of optics, but
rich experience in engineering of industrial measurements, in
particular with profile metrology or areal surface topography will
be very helpful to understand the theoretical concerns and value of
the technological advances. It should be useful for graduate
students or researchers as extended reading material, as well as
microscope users alongside their handbook.
Menopausal symptoms can significantly reduce women's quality of
life, and may last for several years. Women who seek relief from
symptoms often turn to complementary therapies, including Chinese
medicine. The latest in the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese
Medicine series uses a 'whole evidence' approach to summarise the
management of menopausal symptoms with Chinese medicine. The first
chapter describes the conventional medicine understanding of
menopause, including common signs and symptoms, diagnosis and
treatment. The Chinese medicine conceptualisation of menopause,
both in contemporary and classical literature, is reviewed and
discussed.The evidence from clinical studies is reviewed using
internationally accepted scientific methods. Systematic reviews
describe the treatments used in clinical studies, and analyse the
effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicines, acupuncture and related
therapies, other Chinese medicine therapies, and combinations of
Chinese medicine therapies. Experimental studies that describe the
potential mechanisms of action of key herbs are summarised. The
final chapter synthesises the current evidence and offers
suggestions for contemporary clinical practice and future
research.This book is a handy desktop reference for both clinicians
and students of Chinese and integrative medicine. It provides a
comprehensive synthesis of both traditional and contemporary
knowledge that can inform clinical decision-making.

Innovation through specific and rational design and
functionalization has led to the development of a wide range of
mesoporous materials with varying morphologies (hexagonal, cubic,
rod-like), structures (silicates, carbons, metal oxides), and
unique functionalities (doping, acid functionalization) that
currently makes this field one of the most exciting in materials
science and energy applications. This book focuses primarily on the
rapid progress in their application in energy conversion and
storage technologies, including supercapacitor, Li-ion battery,
fuel cells, solar cells, and photocatalysis (water splitting) and
will serve as a valuable reference for researchers in the field
Nanoporous Materials for Molecule Separation and Conversion cover
the topic with sections on nanoporous material synthesis and
characterization, nanoporous materials for molecule separation, and
nanoporous materials for energy storage and renewable energy.
Typical nanoporous materials including carbon, zeolite, silica and
metal-organic frameworks and their applications in molecule
separation and energy related applications are covered. In
addition, the fundamentals of molecule adsorption and molecule
transport in nanoporous materials are also included, providing
readers with a stronger understanding of the principles and topics
covered. This is an important reference for anyone exploring
nanoporous materials, including researchers and postgraduate
students in materials science and chemical engineering. In
addition, it is ideal for industry professionals working on a wide
range of applications for nanoporous materials.
Fluid Inclusion Effect in the Flotation of Sulfide Minerals gives a
detailed introduction to how fluid inclusions affect the flotation
of sulfide minerals. The book introduces the various fluids found
in geology, detailing the properties of fluid inclusions and how to
identify and analyze their composition. It gives the common
chemical compositions of fluid inclusions, investigates the release
of fluid inclusions in sulfide materials and some gangues, and
presents the concentrations and solution chemistry of the released
ions. Finally, the book considers the absorption mechanism and the
interaction of some typical metal ions from fluid inclusions on the
surface of sulfide minerals.

Fall accidents represent a tremendous health problem to the
society, both in terms of human suffering and economic losses.
Improved understanding of age-related biomechanical characteristics
in response to unexpected slip perturbations would enhance our
ability to identify the successful reactive-recovery mechanisms
involved in slip and fall accidents. This book described a
laboratory study having both young and elderly participants walk
over a slippery surface. A 3D lower extremity joint moment analysis
was performed to those trials that participants successfully
recovered their balance. The findings indicated significant
age-related differences in joint moment generation patterns. The
information presented in the book would help develop effective fall
prevention strategies and is intended for researchers in the field
of human balance and stability control.
