Animated superhero feature in which Iron Man (voice of Matthew
Mercer) comes up against one of his toughest opponents yet. When a
terrorist attack during the launch of a satellite owned by
billionaire Tony Stark is blamed on Iron Man, S.H.I.E.L.D. set out
to capture the apparently fallen hero. However, Stark is painfully
aware that Iron Man is not the guilty party - for the very good
reason that he is Iron Man. The true culprit appears to be an
unhinged technological genius who has developed armour even more
powerful than that possessed by Iron Man. Will Stark/Iron Man find
a way to topple a villain with greater strength and resources?
Did someone call for a badass mage to stop petty nobles from
squabbling and face the real threat-unbridled Chaos? In a world
where the noble elite are supposed to fend off the threat of
terrifying Chaos but instead engage in pointless petty squabbles,
young mage Siluca Meletes dreams of bringing justice to the land.
She finds an ally in Theo, a young knight with a bright future. But
as Theo soon finds out, despite her righteous goal of world peace,
her methods are more than a little unorthodox! Siluca and Theo's
master plan is put to its first test: a battle against the fearsome
Lassic David, the lord of a nearby domain who only cares about
conquest. Assisted by Balgary, the next king of the Cait Sith, an
incredibly strong Artist named Aishela, and Irvin, Siluca's own
Artist, these newly minted rulers of their domain must stand fast
against the threat and pray that they survive the coming battle.
This volume addresses the rapid growth of China's cultural industry
and its significant cultural and economic impact on the country. It
considers what exactly constitutes the cultural industry, defining
the basis for discussions on issues as the internal tensions
constraining China's cultural industry development. It examines the
place of culture and cultural industry in relation to China's
overall development, and what kinds of strategies, policies and
concrete measures are most effective in promoting the industry's
growth, exploring the role of Government in Cultural Industrial
Development.
This book features a comprehensive analysis of the development of
shale gas resources in China, with a focus on the potential
environmental impacts that may result. China has the world's
largest shale gas resources, which it is keen to develop to
alleviate air pollution and successfully transition to a low-carbon
energy future. However, one significant obstacle standing between
the ambition and reality is the potentially serious environmental
impacts of shale gas production. This book offers a systematic
assessment of these potential impacts, including the risk of water
contamination, ecological disruption due to the huge consumption of
water and methane leakage. It presents valuable first-hand data
collected from the authors' fieldwork in Sichuan and Chongqing and
the latest information on China's current shale gas operations and
also includes a set of models and methods developed to quantify the
impacts. It allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of
environmental regulatory management systems regarding shale gas
production in China by examining whether the existing monitoring,
reporting and verification (MRV) systems and environmental
regulations can effectively prevent adverse impacts from shale gas
production. Providing a detailed study of shale gas development in
China based on an unprecedented primary dataset, the book is a
valuable resource for scholars, engineers and students who are
interested in the energy development and environmental risks.
Did someone call for a badass mage to stop petty nobles from
squabbling and face the real threat-unbridled Chaos? In a world
where the noble elite are supposed to fend off the threat of
terrifying Chaos but instead engage in pointless, petty squabbles,
young mage Siluca Meletes dreams of bringing justice to the land.
Siluca and Theo's efforts have paid off, resulting in a strong
standing army, a variety of Artists on their side, and a few
powerful allies, too. But no one gets this far without making a few
enemies, and now the time has come for Siluca to justify their
actions to Margrave Marrine Kreische, the leader of the Factory
Alliance. Siluca has broken the rules to get this far, and her
punishment may be too much to bear...

young mage Siluca Meletes dreams of bringing justice to the land.
War is coming to Siluca and Theo's domain, and they have only the
barest hope of stopping it. Margrave Marrine Kreische, the leader
of the Factory Alliance, is coming, and she's bringing The Dragoon,
an otherworldly power that makes her army even more formidable.
Theo can counter her with The Patriot, but will it be enough? The
fate of the domain rests in the balance.

She finds an ally in Theo, a young knight with a bright future. But
as Theo soon finds out, despite her righteous goal of world peace,
her methods are more than a little unorthodox! A marriage between
the heirs of the Fantasy Federation and the Factory Alliance should
have led to the creation of the greatest symbol of peace ever
imagined-the Grancrest seal. But when tragedy strikes the wedding,
Siluca Meletes finds herself with no choice but to forge a new
future for the world. With the aid of a knight errant with great
potential, she will go against the world's order to achieve peace
through the magical power of crests.
Cholecystecomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is
the definitive treatment for symptomatic gallstones and
non-neoplastic gallbladder disease. In this book, the authors
present current research in the study of the procedures, prognosis
and potential complications of cholecystectomies. Topics include
the techniques and indications of cholecystectomy; traditional
laparoscopic cholecystectomy; iatrogenic bile duct injuries after
cholecystectomy; surgical strategy for gallbladder carcinoma;
cholecystectomy in patients with suspected choledocholithiasis and
cholecystitis in the elderly; and single-incision laparoscopic
cholecystectomy.
Nonlinear optics(NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the
behaviour of light in non-linear media, that is, media in which the
dielectric polarisation P responds nonlinearly to the electric
field E of the light. This non-linearity is Typically only observed
at very high light intensities such as those provided by pulsed
lasers. Non-linear optics is of considerable research interest
since it includes: Free space and guided wave non-linear optics;
Weak (second and third order etc. effects) and strong
(non-perturbative)nonlinearities: Fast (electronic fs timescale)
and slow (thermal ms timescale) nonlinearities; Novel non-linear
materials; Numerical simulation of nonlinear optical propagation;
Applications of non-linear optics in fields such as signal
processing, optical communications, holographic memory and soliton
phenomena. This Advanced book provides the latest research from
around the globe in this fast-moving field.
