This updated work is an all-in-one book, encompassing the essential aspects of radiation physics, radiobiology, and clinical radiation oncology.

The papers in this volume are from the Ninth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition (DCC’20) held virtually at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. They represent the state-of-the-art of research and development in design computing and design cognition including the increasingly active area of design cognitive neuroscience. They are of particular interest to design researchers, developers and users of advanced computation in designing as well as to design educators.

This book discusses fundamental studies involving the history, modelling, simulation, experimental work, and applications on high-entropy materials. Topics include data-driven and machine-learning approaches, additive-manufacturing techniques, computational and analytical methods, such as density functional theory and multifractal analysis, mechanical behavior, high-throughput methods, and irradiation effects. The types of high-entropy materials consist of alloys, oxides, and ceramics. The book then concludes with a discussion on potential future applications of these novel materials.

This fully revised and updated second edition presents the most important theoretical aspects of Image and Signal Processing (ISP) for both deterministic and random signals. The theory is supported by exercises and computer simulations relating to real applications.

Since the publication of the 1/e in 1977, Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract has consolidated its position as the leading textbook of gynecological pathology. An essential reference for all pathologists and residents, this thoroughly updated Seventh Edition includes more than 1400 illustrations in color, informative tables and 22 revised chapters written by internationally recognized experts.

This book summarizes the geological knowledge accumulated on Afar in the last 60 years, demonstrating that it is, and will remain, a real “hot spot” for geological and geophysical research. It provides insights into the Earth processes along diverging plate boundaries, the study of both the continental and oceanic lithosphere and underlying asthenosphere, and margins and transitions including magmatic, volcanic, tectonic, sedimentary, hydrothermal and geodynamic processes.

The book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Design, Materials and Manufacturing (ICRADMM 2020). The topics covered include structural mechanics, kinematics and dynamics of machines, mechanical structures and stress analysis, noise and vibration analysis, fault detection and condition monitoring, optimization techniques, mechatronics & robotics, product design and development, tribology. The book also discusses various properties and performance attributes of modern-age design in mechanical engineering including their durability, workability, and carbon footprint. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in sustainable development in mechanical engineering design and allied fields.

This book presents the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2021), held at NIT Mizoram, Aizwal, Mizoram, India, during June 25 – 26, 2021. FICTA conference aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners to exchange their new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications to various engineering disciplines.

This volume provides readers with an open access protocol collection and wide-ranging recommendations for preclinical renal MRI used in translational research. The chapters in this book are interdisciplinary in nature and bridge the gaps between physics, physiology, and medicine.

A lucid statement of the philosophy of modular programming can be found in a 1970 textbook on the design of system programs by Gouthier and Pont [1, l Cfl0. 23], which we quote below: A well-defined segmentation of the project effort ensures system modularity. Each task fonos a separate, distinct program module. At implementation time each module and its inputs and outputs are well-defined, there is no confusion in the intended interface with other system modules.
At checkout time the in­ tegrity of the module is tested independently; there are few sche­ duling problems in synchronizing the completion of several tasks before checkout can begin.

This book provides essential information on the morphology, biology, phytochemistry, pharmaceutical prospects, evolution, phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomy of Paris (Melanthiaceae), a morphologically distinctive plant genus with great economic importance. Since the establishment of this genus, 70 species and 24 subspecific taxa have been described, resulting in considerable confusion in species delimitation.

Dieses Lehr- und Übungsbuch verzichtet auf höhere Mathematik und bietet eine sehr praxisorientierte und leicht verständliche Darstellung. Es beschränkt sich auf die wesentlichen Grundlagen und bietet mit fast 300 durchgerechneten Beispielen und Aufgaben mit Lösungen nachvollziehbare Ingenieuranwendungen und die Möglichkeit einer guten Lernerfolgskontrolle. Für die aktuelle Auflage wurden die Abschnitte zur Potentialströmung sowie das Kapitel 8 und alle Aufgaben zu Kapitel 8 überarbeitet.

The eight-volume set LNCS 12901, 12902, 12903, 12904, 12905, 12906, 12907, and 12908 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2021, held in Strasbourg, France, in September/October 2021.*

Egal, wo wir uns gerade befinden und was wir tun, in unserem Leben ist der Werkstoff Stahl immer dabei, bei der Arbeit oder in unserer Freizeit, manchmal auch als Kunstwerk. Stahl ist unverzichtbar, wiederverwertbar und hat eine ganz besondere Bedeutung: In unserer modernen Industriegesellschaft ist Stahl der Basiswerkstoff für alle wichtigen Industriebereiche, wie Automobil- und Schiffsbau, Apparate- und Maschinenbau, Brücken- und Stahlhochbau, Energie- und Umwelttechnik, Verpackungsindustrie, Haushalt- und Sportindustrie, Medizintechnik, Hydraulik und Pneumatik u. v. a.

This book introduces “network pharmacology” as an emerging frontier subject of systematic drug research in the era of artificial intelligence and big data. Network Pharmacology is an original subject of fusion system biology, bioinformatics, network science and other related disciplines.
