Algebraic Invariants of Links / Jonathan A. Hillman
Đầu mục:3
Tài liệu số:0This book serves as a reference on links and on the invariants derived via algebraic topology from covering spaces of link exteriors. It emphasizes the features of the multicomponent case not normally considered by knot-theorists, such as longitudes, the homological complexity of many-variable Laurent polynomial rings, the fact that links are not usually boundary links, free coverings of homology boundary links, the lower central series as a source of invariants, nilpotent completion and algebraic closure of the link group, and disc links. Invariants of the types considered here play an essent
Relational medicine : personalizing modern healthcare : the practice of high-tech medicine as a RelationalAct / Federica Raia, Mario C. Deng
Đầu mục:3
Tài liệu số:0In this book, we present a novel framework of high-tech modern medicine. Patients going through major high-tech medical interventions, e.g. Advanced Heart Failure (AdHF) patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and heart transplantation, must integrate scientific and technological advances into personal life, including strong emotional experiences unthinkable thirty years ago, novel to themselves and their caregivers and unknown to healthcare professionals. Our book provides a theoretical framework for the person-centered vision to "heal humankind by improving health, alleviating suffering and delivering acts of kindness, one person at a time", we develop the theoretical as well as practical concept of the "RelationalAct (RA)" as core concept to engage and participate in modern medicine. This book will be used as a recommended textbook for the following UCLA Fall 2014 course: Course Director: Professor Federica Raia / Co-Director: Professor Mario Deng. Course title: Educational Perspectives of Relational Practices in Modern Medicine. Course summary: This UCLA course systematically discusses Personhood & Body Concepts in the context of asymmetric Person/Person-relationships in High-Tech Modern Medicine and the diverse implications for building of theories of Relational Practice. Course topics: Personhood/Body Concepts; Asymmetric Person/Person-relationships; Theories of Relational Practice
Power microelectronics : device and process technologies / Yung C. Liang, Ganesh S. Samudra, Chih-Fang Huang
Đầu mục:1
Tài liệu số:0This is an excellent reference book for graduates or undergraduates studying semiconductor technology, or for working professionals who need a reference for detailed theory and working knowledge of processes in the field of power semiconductor devices.' IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine This descriptive textbook provides a clear look at the theories and process technologies necessary for understanding the modern power semiconductor devices, i.e. from the fundamentals of p-n junction electrostatics, unipolar MOSFET and superjunction structures, bipolar IGBT, to the most recent wide bandgap SiC and GaN devices. It also covers their associated semiconductor process technologies. Real examples based on actual fabricated devices, with the process steps described in clear detail are especially useful. This book is suitable for university courses on power semiconductor or power electronic devices. Device designers and researchers will also find this book a good reference in their work, especially for those focusing on the advanced device development and design aspects
Science of the Earth, climate, and energy / Milton W. Cole, Angela D. Lueking, David L. Goodstein
Đầu mục:3
Tài liệu số:0Whether on personal health, politics, or climate change, we are constantly bombarded with more numerous 'breaking news' articles than we have time for. In such an environment, how can we tell which to read, or which is even true. Science of the Earth, Climate and Energy helps readers understand major issues that affect us individually and the world as a whole. In language that a non-scientist can follow easily, the book first explains the general principles of science, its nature and how it works, with a certain degree of emphasis on the meaning of the words "uncertainty" and "fact, before it goes into the related topics of the earth, its climate and energy sources at a level that does not require a background in science. Finally, the book addresses what individuals and societies can do to mitigate problems associated with both climate change and limited resources
Knowledge grid : toward cyber-physical society / Hai Zhuge
Đầu mục:3
Tài liệu số:0The Knowledge Grid is an intelligent and sustainable interaction environment that consists of autonomous individuals, self-organized semantic communities, adaptive networking mechanisms, evolving semantic link networks keeping meaningful connection between individuals, flows for dynamic resource sharing, and mechanisms supporting effective resource management and providing appropriate knowledge services for learning, innovation, teamwork, problem solving, and decision making. This book presents its methodology, theory, models and applications systematically for the first time. Its second editio
Biomolecular forms and functions : a celebration of 50 years of the Ramachandran map / Manju Bansal, Narayanaswamy Srinivasan (editor)
Đầu mục:2
Tài liệu số:0Understanding the functions and properties of molecules in living systems requires a detailed knowledge of their three-dimensional structures and the conformational variability that allows them to adopt multiple functional forms. Interpreting biological systems in the language of three-dimensional structures is of fundamental importance and innumerable research groups around the world are working in this area. This book is a compilation of articles describing attempts at understanding the intricacies of biological systems through the structures of and interactions between their constituent molecules
