Recent advances witness the potential to employ nanomedicine and
game-changing methods to deliver drug molecules directly to
diseased sites. To optimize and then enhance the efficacy and
specificity, the control and guidance of drug carriers in
vasculature has become crucial. Current bottlenecks in the optimal
design of drug carrying particles are the lack of knowledge about
the transport of particles, adhesion on endothelium wall and
subsequent internalization into diseased cells. To study the
transport and adhesion of particle in vasculature, the authors have
made great efforts to numerically investigate the dynamic and
adhesive motions of particles in the blood flow. This book
discusses the recent achievements from the establishment of
fundamental physical problem to development of multiscale model,
and finally large scale simulations for understanding transport of
particle-based drug carriers in blood flow.
Evolution and Power: China's Struggle, Survival, and Success,
edited by Xiaobing Li and Xiansheng Tian, brings together scholars
from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive look at China
s rapid socio-economic transformation and the dramatic changes in
its political institution and culture. Investigating subjects such
as party history, leadership style, personality, political
movements, civil-military relations, intersection of politics and
law, and democratization, this volume situates current legitimacy
and constitutional debates in the context of both the country s
ideology, traditions, and the wider global community. The
contributors to this volume clarify key Chinese conceptual
frameworks to explain previous subjects that have been confusing or
neglected, offering case studies and policy analyses connected with
power struggles and political crises in China. A general pattern is
introduced and developed to illuminate contemporary problems with
government accountability, public opposition, and political
transparency. Evolution and Power provides essential scholarship on
China s political development and growth.
With the fast growth ofmultimedia information, content-based video
anal- ysis, indexing and representation have attracted increasing
attention in re- cent years. Many applications have emerged in
these areas such as video- on-demand, distributed multimedia
systems, digital video libraries, distance learning/education,
entertainment, surveillance and geographical information systems.
The need for content-based video indexing and retrieval was also
rec- ognized by ISOIMPEG, and a new international standard called
"Multimedia Content Description Interface" (or in short, MPEG-7)was
initialized in 1998 and finalized in September 2001. In this
context, a systematic and thorough review ofexisting approaches as
well as the state-of-the-art techniques in video content analysis,
indexing and representation areas are investigated and studied in
this book. In addition, we will specifically elaborate on a system
which analyzes, indexes and abstracts movie contents based on the
integration ofmultiple media modalities. Content ofeach part ofthis
book is briefly previewed below. In the first part, we segment a
video sequence into a set ofcascaded shots, where a shot
consistsofone or more continuouslyrecorded image frames. Both raw
and compressedvideo data will beinvestigated. Moreover,
consideringthat there are always non-story units in real TV
programs such as commercials, a novel commercial break
detection/extraction scheme is developed which ex- ploits both
audio and visual cues to achieve robust results. Specifically, we
first employ visual cues such as the video data statistics, the
camera cut fre- quency, and the existenceofdelimiting black frames
between commercials and programs, to obtain coarse-level detection
results.

This book provides practical information on obtaining and using a
wide variety of plant based reagents for different sectors,
addressing the needs and challenges in a single resource. The
chapters complement each other seamlessly and present contributions
from reputed international researchers and renowned professionals
from industry, covering the latest efforts in the field. The book
serves as the starting point for future collaborations in the new
area "Plant Based Green Chemistry" between research, industry, and
education, covering large ecologic and economic applications:
perfume, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food ingredients,
nutraceuticals, biofuels, or fine chemicals industries. This book
is aimed at professionals from industries, academicians engaged in
plant based green chemistry, researchers and graduate level
students, but will also be useful to food technologists and
students and researchers involved in natural products chemistry.
This brief provides a valuable reference for the contribution of
essential oils in the green chemistry, mainly in terms of their
characteristics corresponding to their compositions, the
development of their extraction technologies including both
conventional and green process (e.g. microwave, ultrasound), and
their sustainable applications as antioxidants, antimicrobials,
insecticides, green solvents and synthons for the green synthesis.

The intelligent sports analysis of a soccer ball (also known as
football, football ball, or association football ball) requires
accurately simulating its motion and finding the best design
parameters. Employing classic mechanics, this book establishes a
fundamental framework for the soccer ball multi-body dynamics
modeling, virtual prototype simulation and optimization design. It
presents 3D virtual prototypes to predict the soccer ball
trajectory for soccer players and trainers. Five typical case
studies have addressed in the kinematics and dynamics simulations
of soccer ball projectile motion, free kick, and corner kick in the
virtual environment. The research on multi-body dynamics models
provides a useful method for engineers and scientists to
investigate the spatial kinematics and dynamics performances of
various balls, such as soccer ball, gulf ball, American football,
etc. The book is significant to guide undergraduate and graduate
students from multi-disciplines to study system dynamics and
optimization design.

Oil Spill Detection, Identification and Tracing provides readers
with currently applicable technical methods, including early
warning monitoring of trace oil film in ports, remote sensing
monitoring of sea surface oil spills, and source tracing. Beginning
with the causes and characteristics of oil spills on water,
chapters then evaluate a range of different detection methods,
including passive optical remote sensing, active optical remote
sensing, marine radar, and GNSS-R. The book then reviews oil spill
traceability technology, highlighting the ecological effect of oil
spills on oceanic environment, current studies on oil spill
fingerprinting, and the application of stable isotope technology in
oil spill tracing. The book concludes with three key case studies
with real-world scenarios, making it a practical resource for
