"The Application of Biofluid Mechanics: Boundary Effects on
Phoretic Motions of Colloidal Spheres" focuses on the phoretic
motion behavior of various micron- to nanometer-size particles. The
content of this book is divided into two parts: one on the
concentration gradient-driven diffusiophoresis and osmophoresis,
and one on thermocapillary motion and thermophoretic motion driven
by temperature gradient. Diffusiophoresis and osmophoresis are
mainly used in biomedical engineering applications, such as drug
delivery, purification, and the description of the behavior of the
immune system; thermocapillary motion and thermophoretic motion are
applied in the field of semiconductors as well as in suspended
impurities removal. The book also provides a variety of computer
programming source codes compiled using Fortran for researchers'
future applications.
This book is intended for chemical engineers, biomedical
engineers and scientists, biophysicists and fundamental chemotaxis
researchers. Dr. Po-Yuan Chen is an Assistant Professor at the
Department of Biological Science and Technology, China Medical
University, Taichung, Taiwan.
Fundamentals of Combustion Processes is designed as a textbook for
an upper-division undergraduate and graduate level combustion
course in mechanical engineering. The authors focus on the
fundamental theory of combustion and provide a simplified
discussion of basic combustion parameters and processes such as
thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, ignition, diffusion and
pre-mixed flames. The text includes exploration of applications,
example exercises, suggested homework problems and videos of
laboratory demonstrations
PCR Cloning Protocols, Second Edition, updates and expands Bruce
White's best-selling PCR Cloning Protocols (1997) with the newest
procedures for DNA cloning and mutagenesis. Here the researcher
will find readily reproducible methods for all the major aspects of
PCR use, including PCR optimization, computer programs for PCR
primer design and analysis, and novel variations for cloning genes
of special characteristics or origin, with emphasis on long
distance PCR and GC-rich template amplification. Also included are
both conventional and novel enzyme-free and restriction site-free
procedures to clone PCR products into a range of vectors, as well
as state-of-the-art protocols to facilitate DNA mutagenesis and
recombination, and to clone the challenging uncharacterized DNA
flanking a known DNA fragment.
Immediately Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery (ISBCS): Global
History and Methodology is a comprehensive guide for the safe and
efficient performance of ISBCS. It provides an overview of the
history, recommended protocols, necessary precautions, exclusion
criteria, benefits and risks associated with this procedure,
organizational standards, and more. Written by the most prominent
ISBCS surgeons in the world, chapters recount the arguments for and
against bilateral surgery that have been made throughout the ages,
up to the present, and deliver achieved and proposed resolutions to
all problems discussed. Topics such as ethics and medico-legal
issues surrounding ISBCS are also discussed, and a chapter on the
global evolution of bilateral cataract surgery provides readers
with a complete overview of the development of ISBCS practices in
countries from all continents.

Engineering Energy Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) and its
Application discusses this group of aluminum fibers that are
characterized by their lightweight, high tensile strength, large
current-carrying capacity, high temperature resistance, corrosion
resistance, and small, linear expansion coefficient which make the
ACCC of carbon fiber the most promising new conductor species. With
the development of this technology and the reduction in product
price, the ACCC of carbon fiber can play an important role in power
grid construction and upgrading. The book contains a large number
of practical engineering application examples and problems found in
practical operation and maintenance. It is an ideal reference,
providing theoretical and practical support for those in electrical
engineering, aluminum conductors and overhead transmission lines.

Through natural evolvement in thousands of years, biosurfaces have
become highly adaptable to display their biological functions
perfectly. Interestingly, they have developed micro-/nanostructures
with gradient features to achieve smart wetting controls, such as
ultra-hydrophobic water repellency in lotus leaf, directional water
collection in wetted spider silk, directional adhesion in
superhydrophobic butterfly wing, and fog-collecting
hydrophobic/hydrophilic pattern on beetle back. These surfaces
provide endless inspiration for the design and fabrication of
functional interface materials with unique wettability, generating
promising applications such as micro-fluidic devices, functional
textiles, corrosion resistance, liquid transportation, antifogging,
and water-collecting devices. In recent years there has been an
exciting confluence of research areas of physics, chemistry,
biology, and materials science to develop functional micro- and
nanosurfaces. A kernel consists of organic materials with high/low
surface energy and regular/irregular order/disorder, which can be
rough/smooth and endlessly arranged and combined with various
styles of micro- and nanostructures. This book introduces recent
research on wettability of biological and bio-inspired surfaces. It
discusses the mechanism of smart wetting controls, such as water
collection/repellency on biological micro-/nanostructure gradient
interfaces. It suggests ways to mimic these biological features to
realize bio-inspired functional surfaces with unique wettability.
The book will help researchers innovate designs with novel
materials for future scientific works.
Chinese companies are globalizing at an unprecedented rate. Haier
is the world's largest telecoms equipment manufacturer; Lenovo is

M&A scene. This book presents a detailed analysis of current
and emerging Chinese multinationals, and the policies, strategies,
and ambitions that are driving them today. Written by leading
experts in the field, the book provides the most up-to-date insight
into a phenomenon that is rapidly changing the global economic and
business landscape.
