This is an in-depth guide on the management of COPD, concentrating on the impact of COPD on a patient as well as ...

This book provides a unique multi- and interdisciplinary approach to energy conversion technologies by shedding light on the topic from both technological and ethical perspectives. It applies these concepts to examples of engineering problems related to energy conversion – an internal combustion engine and a fuel cell – in order to give the reader a clear idea of how to implement the approaches and do the work. The first part is an introductio...

This book covers all the key biophysical techniques needed to characterize collagen-mimetic peptides such as CD, X-ray, NMR and fluorescence. It also elaborates how the thermal stability, structure, and dynamics, as well as quantitative information on collagen model peptides are obtained. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework, while emphasizing the potential applications of each technique in detail. This ap...

Gudrun Burkhard zeigt in ihrem Buch, wie wir lernen können, unsere Biografie zu begreifen und das Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Dadurch verstehen wir auch die anderen Menschen besser. Die Biografie wird so zum Organ für soziale Prozesse, aus denen auch wir selbst mit unserer Geschichte hervorgegangen sind.

This book investigates in detail piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology, assessing its potential us to replace conventional electrochemical batteries with kinetic energy harvesters as sustainable power supplies in wireless sensor network (WSN) devices and mobile electronics, which are originally exposed to ambient vibration. Studies on PEH have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical, mechanica...

This book presents detailed insights into the characterization of bionanocomposite materials based on rubber. Examining various classes of material bases, such as cellulose, chitin, starch, soy proteins, polylactic acid (PLA), bacterial cellulose and casein, it offers a valuable reference resource for graduate and postgraduate engineering students, researchers and polymer engineers working in industry.

Elementary Classical Analysis balances pure and applied mathematics with an emphasis on specific techniques important to classical analysis without vector calculus or complex analysis. It also includes detailed coverage of the foundations of the real number system and focuses primarily on analysis in Euclidean space with a view towards application.

This excellent volume lays out methods for the analysis and design of inertial micromachined sensors. The aim of the book is to provide readers with a solid foundation in the theory of inertial measurement, introduce them to design fundamentals, and provide them with design recipes for implementation of inertial instruments on the micro-scale. All of the discussions in the book are supported by constructive computational examples illustrating ...

This book presents a detailed regional study of the Dongting Lake Area and explores potential avenues and challenges for future flood risk management in China.Focusing on dynamic changes in regional vulnerability to flooding and its relevance for flood risk management, it proposes a new construct of vulnerability based on the co-variance between the negative (exposure) and positive (response capacity) components. Further, it develops an histor...
