The monograph is based on the research and training activities in the Western Pacific Ocean Region within the umbrella of UNESCO/IOC-Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific Region. The results of these activities are compared to cases from other tropical and subtropical regions on this planet to make the knowledge applicable to global aspects of sustainability of coral reef ecosystems. In this monograph, we examine the coral reefs from viewpoint of multidisciplinary approaches, including, environmental impacts, coral biology and system ecology, biogeochemical cycles and processes that drive the material and energy flow through the food web, as well as the proxies in geochemistry that have been used to track the responses of coral reefs to the changing climate and human perturbations. Although this study is focused on the Western Pacific Ocean, the Western Pacific Ocean is so large and diverse that most reef environment types on this planet are located within it. Therefore, knowledge gained in this study is relevant to the application of coastal management in practice as well as in the teaching classes on the interactions between coral reef ecosystems with changing environments.

CVVH, CVVHD and CVVHDF: These terms will soon no longer be a "black box" for you! This book is aimed at physicians and nurses in intensive care units who want to both apply and understand continuous renal replacement procedures. Step-by-step, the functionalities and characteristics of all common renal replacement procedures, such as continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and hemodiafiltration, are explained in a comprehensible manner, and the clinical implications of the parameters to be set are described. A separate chapter is devoted to the topic of citrate anticoagulation, an understanding of which is essential when using continuous renal replacement procedures. With this knowledge, the most suitable therapy can be selected for each patient and optimally adapted to the patient's needs.

Context plays an important role in entrepreneurship and this is increasingly being acknowledged both in research, practice, and policy considerations. Where, why, and how entrepreneurship occurs can be considered when studying the effects of context. This book focuses on the role of context in entrepreneurship by analyzing different factors, including locational, time-specific, and cultural variables and social conditions. Researchers of entrepreneurship will particularly benefit from the holistic, context-based perspective this book offers.

Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our time--and recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be fruitful: an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection can be indispensable in understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and there is also likely some kind of intimate connection between quantum mechanics--the most fundamental theory of the physical world--and our efforts to explain, naturalistically, the phenomenon of consciousness.

The Sun, our star, has inspired the research of many scientists and engineers and brings hope to many of us for a paradigm shift in energy. Indeed, the applications of solar energy are manifold, primarily because it concerns both light and heat. Photovoltaic (PV) conversion is the most well-known among these, but other modes of conversion include photochemical, photobiological, photoelectrochemical, thermal and thermochemical.

Computer vision and image processing-based systems and their applications are already an integral part of modern living and are expected to increase in prevalence and complexity. Vision system provides the ability to handle and examine the large data generated by cameras and make a decision based on the situational requirement. As computational intelligent methods are especially adept at rapidly resolving inexact situations or where there is incomplete knowledge, they are being heavily researched and employed in this space. This merger creates intelligent vision systems, which can be extremely versatile, and this book focusses on the latest developments and current key research areas in the field.
