Based on a solid theoretical basis of assessment-as-learning and
updated empirical evidences, this timely book significantly expands
the existing scope of assessment-as-learning typically developed in
Western contexts. This edited volume updates theoretical and
empirical advances in assessment-as-learning in complex learning
processes, brought together by an international panel of authors.
The contributors provide a wide range of practical ways to harness
the power of assessment-as-learning to make it work more
effectively not only in the classroom, but also across other
achievement-related situations (e.g. examinations, learning
processes before and after classes). Assessment as Learning
provides a deep contemporary insight into the field of formative
assessment, and brings much-needed international perspectives to
complement the current Western-focused research. This is a valuable
contribution to the discussion, and provides useful insight for
researchers in Education.
Tu Youyou's Journey in the Search for Artemisinin is an
autobiographical science book chronicling in detail the great
experiences of Tu Youyou from her childhood to winning the Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine.As Tu Youyou is the first female
scientist from China to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine, this win created a sudden wave of interest in medicine,
resulting in numerous autobiographical books about Tu Youyou
appearing on the market. Contrary to these mass market titles, this
book is uniquely different as it is fully authorized by the Nobel
laureate herself. Her once-confidential experimental data and
Artemisinin research reports are now revealed in this book for all
to learn and comprehend. In addition, one of the book authors, Dr
Wang Manyuan, is the only PhD student supervised by Professor
Tu.Pharmaceutical researchers can use the book's valuable contents
to reference, quote and analyse while searching for their own
scientific inspirations. It also successfully serves as a guide for
budding scientists and future Nobel Prize winners as it provides
the proper guidance and methods of scientific research.

This book gives a survey of the physics and fabrication of carbon
nanotubes and their applications in optics, electronics, chemistry
and biotechnology. It focuses on the structural characterization of
various carbon nanotubes, fabrication of vertically or parallel
aligned carbon nanotubes on substrates or in composites, physical
properties for their alignment, and applications of aligned carbon
nanotubes in field emission, optical antennas, light transmission,
solar cells, chemical devices, bio-devices, and many others. Major
fabrication methods are illustrated in detail, particularly the
most widely used PECVD growth technique on which various device
integration schemes are based, followed by applications such as
electrical interconnects, nanodiodes, optical antennas, and
nanocoax solar cells, whereas current limitations and challenges
are also be discussed to lay the foundation for future
developments.
Confinement and manipulation of photons using microcavities have
triggered intense research interest in both basic and applied
physics for more than a decade. Prominent examples are whispering
gallery microcavities which confine photons by means of continuous
total internal reflection along a curved and smooth surface. The
long photon lifetime, strong field confinement, and in-plane
emission characteristics make them promising candidates for
enhancing light-matter interactions on a chip. In this book, we
will introduce different ultra-high-Q whispering gallery
microcavities, and focus on their applications in enhancing
light-matter interaction, such as ultralow-threshold microlasing,
highly sensitive optical biosensing, nonlinear optics, cavity
quantum electrodynamics and cavity optomechanics.
