The Glioma Book
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1626234442 | 352 Pages | PDF | 39 MB
Glioblastoma (GBM) or glioma is an extremely aggressive and malignant brain tumor, with cell infiltration, rapid invasion, and a high frequency of relapse. The Glioma Book by neurosurgeon Michael Sughrue is a highly personal book - a culmination of two years of writing and more than 1,000 surgeries. It presents a unique viewpoint with the potential to transform the traditional paradigm that too often informs treatment of this universally fatal brain tumor. The book reinterprets the role of the cerebrum and sub-cortex, leverages scientific advances to improve cytoreduction and reduce neurological deficits, and challenges the myth of the "inoperable" glioma.

In The Generalized Relative Gol'dberg Order and Type: Some Remarks on Functions of Complex Variables, the authors have discussed the generalized comparative growth analysis of entire functions of several complex variables at length. The discussion covers the important branch of complex analysis specially the theory of analytic functions of several variables. The book contains eight chapters. Chapter 1 presents introductory aspects of the topic and some preliminary definitions. In the proceeding chapters (2-8), the authors derive some results about the generalized Gol'dberg order (α,β) and generalized Gol'dberg type (α,β) of entire functions of several complex variables which progressively explores different variations of these variables, (upper and lower, functions, inequalities, growth measures). The book culminates in an explanation of the sum and product theorems depending on the generalized relative Gol'dberg order (α,β). This monograph is intended for mathematical researchers and enthusiasts who wish to expand their understanding about complex variables of several functions and complex and related aspects of complex analysis.

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Metacognition by Stephen M. Fleming
English | PDF | 2014 | 398 Pages | ISBN : 3642451896 | 7.6 MB
Metacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and psychologists, metacognition has recently become the target of research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychology and insights from psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive functions of the brain.

Sustainable Agriculture Reviews: Volume 13 by Eric Lichtfouse
English | PDF | 2013 | 314 Pages | ISBN : 3319009141 | 7 MB
Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. It is a discipline that addresses current issues: climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control and biodiversity depletion. This series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then proposes alternative solutions.

Strategic Approaches to Energy Management: Current Trends in Energy Economics and Green Investment
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030767825 | 300 Pages | PDF EPUB | 3 MB
This book introduces current managerial approaches to energy production and energy use. The volume analyses how to manage technological developments that contribute to lowering the price of energy production and also focuses on the impact renewable energy sources that provide continuity in energy production and how to manage it. The book presents studies on the effectiveness of wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and hydroelectric energies and discusses current technological approaches to prevent environmental pollution such as carbon capture and storage. Furthermore, the book includes sustainable economic and financial strategies to use energy more effectively and efficiently. It thus appeals not only to an academic readership but also to energy management professionals working in this field.

Solid-State Welding: Friction and Friction Stir Welding Processes by Esther Titilayo Akinlabi
English | PDF | 2020 | 157 Pages | ISBN : 3030370143 | 12 MB
This book presents critical information on the principles and operation of friction welding, friction stir welding, and friction stir processing enhanced with many robust illustrations. It explains the application of these technologies and the current research efforts in the field. The authors explain in detail the advantages offered by these welding processes, in particular their ability to join dissimilar materials not possible to weld in the past. Written for graduate students, researchers, and industrial professionals, the book reinforces concepts presented with case studies on the experimental analysis of welding the dissimilar materials of copper and aluminum, and on friction stir processing.
