Handbook of Hormones: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and
Clinical Research, Second Edition presents a catalog of fundamental
information on the structure and function of hormones from basic
biology to clinical use, offering a rapid way to obtain specific
facts about the chemical and molecular characteristics of hormones,
their receptors, signaling pathways, and the biological activities
they regulate. The book's stellar editorial board, affiliated with
the Japan Society for Comparative Endocrinology, brings together
authors that present a compelling structure of each hormone with a
consistent presentation that provides a primer surrounding the
plethora of hormones that now exist. Comparative endocrinology
continues to rapidly expand and new information about hormones is
being produced almost daily, making it important to stay
up-to-date. Hormone, paracrine, and autocrine factors have been
identified as key players in a range of different systems,
including immune, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular. Frontiers
between disciplines are being blurred and many scientists in fields
other than endocrinology are interested in hormones. Scientists now
have the unprecedented opportunity to look from invertebrates to
vertebrate and identify novel regulatory factors and understand
their function and how they determine an organism's physiology and
survival.

Nikko is the first true "post human"-a man genetically engineered
to survive in the airless void of space-but the research permit
that allows his existence is about to expire. His body has already
begun an insidious, pre-programmed failure that will end in his
death. Nikko's only hope for survival rides on an illegal and
extremely powerful nanotech device known as the Bohr Maker, that
will allow him to rewrite his genetic code and extend his life. He
attempts to steal the Maker from the archives of the Commonwealth
police, but his plan goes awry. The device escapes into the wild,
infecting a young woman named Phousita who lives in an impoverished
slum where nanotechnology is regulated only by the black market.
Phousita's genetic code is rewritten by the Maker. Her senses are
enhanced, and she gains extraordinary powers of healing, but like
Nikko she has become a fugitive. The Commonwealth police are on the
hunt, determined to sterilize all traces of the Bohr Maker before
it can be copied and spread throughout the population. Together,
Phousita and Nikko must evade a ruthless pursuit, both to preserve
their own lives and to save the Bohr Maker, which holds the promise
of re-defining humanity-for good or for ill.A brilliantly original,
fast-paced thriller, The Bohr Maker won the Locus Award for Best
First Novel. The Bohr Maker is Book 1 of The Nanotech Succession, a
collection of stand-alone novels exploring the rise of
nanotechnology and the strange and fascinating future that follows.
The newest diary manga from the Harvey Award-winning creator of My
Lesbian Experience with Loneliness. After attending a friend's
wedding, Nagata Kabi decides she wants one of her own. That's not
the only thing she wants-she longs to love and be loved. But she
has three major problems: she has no partner, no dating experience,
and her only sexual encounters are limited to a lesbian escort
service. With the help of a photoshoot, a dating app, and more, the
author embarks on a journey to seek the love and happiness she so
desperately desires.
How do we learn to produce and comprehend speech? How does language
relate to thought? This second edition of the successful text
Psycholinguistics- Language, Mind and World considers the
psychology of language as it relates to learning, mind and brain as
well as various aspects of society and culture. Current issues and
research topics are presented in an in-depth manner, although
little or no specific knowledge of any topic is presupposed. The
book is divided into four main parts: First Language Learning
Second Language Learning Language, Mind and Brain Mental Grammar
and Language Processing These four sections include chapters
covering areas such as- deaf language education, first language
acquisition and first language reading, second language
acquisition, language teaching and the problems of bilingualism.
Updated throughout, this new edition also considers and proposes
new theories in psycholinguistics and linguistics, and introduces a
new theory of grammar, Natural Grammar, which is the only current
grammar that is based on the primacy of the psycholinguistic
process of speech comprehension, derives speech production from
that process. Written in an accessible and fluent style,
Psycholinguistics- Language, Mind and World will be of interest to
students, lecturers and researchers from linguistics, psychology,
philosophy and second language teaching.
Based on a collection of labour contracts and other documents, this
book examines the legal, economic and social relations of labour as
they developed in the commercial enterprises of Tokugawa Japan. The
urban focus is Kyoto, the cultural capital and smallest of the
three great cities of the Tokugawa period, but the data comes from
a wider region of commercial and castle towns and rural villages in
central Japan.
The second edition of the well-received book updates the knowledge
of clinical treatment, radiobiology, physics, and instrumentations
to provide a comprehensive description of stereotactic body
radiation therapy (SBRT). Clinical aspects include indications and
prescriptions for diseases treated with SBRT and clinical trial
details. The chapters associated with physics cover quality
assurance, patient immobilization devices, respiratory motion
management, and treatment planning. It also illustrates the latest
devices and provides know-how for safe and reliable treatment that
differs from conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. In this
second edition, the future of SBRT using artificial intelligence in
the post-COVID-19 world will also be discussed. Stereotactic Body
Radiation Therapy 2nd Edition - Principles and
Practices enrich the readers' understanding of
patient-friendly cancer care. Radiation oncologists, medical
physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, senior
nurses, medical oncologists, and surgical oncologists interested in
radiotherapy will benefit from this practical guide. Since the last
edition, there has been significant progress in the field, and the
book renews the facts and evidence based on cutting-edge research.
The fourteen authors in this collection used phenomenology (the
study of consciousness) and hermeneutics (the interpretation of
meaning) to conduct deep inquiry into perplexing and wondrous
events in their work and personal lives. These seasoned
scholar-practitioners gained remarkable insight into areas such as
health care and illness, organ donation, intercultural
communications, high-performance teams, artistic production, jazz
improvisation, and the integration of Tai Chi into education. All
authors were transformed by phenomenology's expanded ways of seeing
and being.

Do authoritarian regimes manage ethnic pluralism better than
democracies? Is the process of democratization itself destructive
of inter-ethnic accomodation? The notable contributors to
Democratization and Identity explore and challenge such arguments
as they introduce the experiences of East and Southeast Asia into
the study of democratization in ethnically (including religiously)
diverse societies. This insightful volume views political regimes
and ethnic identities as co-constitutive: authoritarianism,
democratization, and democracy are interconnected processes of
(re)producing collective (including ethnic) identities and
political power, under the influence of entrenched and evolving
sociopolitical relations and forms of economic production.
Democratization and Identity suggests that the risk of ethnicized
conflict, exclusion, or hierarchy during democratization depends in
large part on the nature of the ethnic identities and relations
constituted during authoritarian rule. This collection's
theoretical breakthroughs and its country case studies shed light
on the prospects for ethnically inclusive and non-hierarchical
democratization across East and Southeast Asia and beyond.

they developed in the commercial enterprises of Tokugawa Japan. The
urban focus is Kyoto, the cultural capital and smallest of the
three great cities of the Tokugawa period, but the data comes from
a wider region of commercial and castle towns and rural villages in
central Japan.
Tokugawa businesses were family firms, but the system differed from
that found in European cities at this time, and differences in
family practice also resulted in a different organization adapted
to business needs. This semi-public family environment also lent
itself to conflict as outsiders were incorporated into family
space, hierarchies and affairs. Conflict and its resolution is a
topic of special interest in this study. Problems such as
embezzling, stealing and absconding, and the mechanisms developed
to address these problems in the paternalistic environment of
family firms are portrayed through letters and other documents of
accusation, investigation, apology, reconciliation and punishment.
Numerous translated excerpts of documents written by and for
workers and employers bring the voice of the people to life and in
this analysis of labor relations.

Oxide materials are good candidates for replacing Si devices, which
are increasingly reaching their performance limits, since the
former offer a range of unique properties, due to their
composition, design and/or doping techniques. The author introduces
a means of selecting oxide materials according to their functions
and explains metal/oxide interface physics. As he demonstrates,
material development is the key to matching oxide materials to
specific practical applications. In this book, the investigation
and intentional control of metal/oxide interface structure and
electrical properties using data obtained with non-destructive
methods such as x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray
reflectometry (XRR) are discussed. Further, it shows how oxide
materials can be used to support the development of future
functional devices with high-k, ferroelectric, magnetic and optical
properties. In closing, it explains optical sensors as an
application of metal Schottky contact and metal/oxide resistive
random access memory structure.
This volume focuses on the theatre history of Asian countries, and
discusses the specific context of theatre modernization in Asia.
While Asian theatre is one of the primary interests within theatre
scholarship in the world today, knowledge of Asian theatre history
is very limited and often surprisingly incorrect. Therefore, this
volume addresses a major gap in contemporary theatre studies. The
volume discusses the conflict between tradition and modernity in
theatre, suggesting that the problems of modernity are closely
related to the idea of tradition. Although Asian countries
preserved the traditional form and values of their respective
theatres, they had to also confront the newly introduced values or
mechanisms of European modernity. Several papers in this volume
therefore provide critical surveys of the history of theatre
modernization in Asian countries or regions-Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
Hong Kong, India Malaysia, Singapore, and Uyghur. Other papers
focus on specific case studies of the history of modernization,
discussing contemporary Taiwanese performances, translations of
modern French comedy into Chinese, the modernization of Chinese
Xiqu, modern Okinawan plays, Malaysian traditional performances,
Korean national theatre, and Japanese plays during World War II.
Renowned academics and theatre critics have contributed to this
volume, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students
of theatre studies, literature, and cultural studies.
This volume focuses on apoptotic and non-apoptotic programmed cell
death, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, and
presents recent findings in the field. It discusses the crucial
role that apoptotic and non-apoptotic cell death play in various
pathological conditions, such as skin diseases, inflammatory bowel
diseases, and virus infections. Further, it highlights the
mechanisms underlying the recognition and clearance of dead cells,
and the subsequent biological responses triggered by phagocytosed
macrophages and factors released from dying cells. Offering
insights into cell death, it is a valuable resource for researchers
and clinicians developing novel strategies to treat various
diseases that are closely associated with cell death.

The dynamics of nuclear structures described in this book furnish
the basis for a comprehensive understanding of how the higher-order
organization and function of the nucleus is established and how it
correlates with the expression of a variety of vital activities
such as cell proliferation and differentiation. The resulting
volume creates an invaluable source of reference for researchers in
the field.
