Glycolipids: Methods and Protocols by Kazuya Kabayama, Jin-ichi Inokuchi
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 306 Pages | ISBN : 1071629093 | 48.8 MB
This detailed volume presents a variety of specialized analytical methods on a wide range of glycolipids. From sphingoglycolipids to lipid A, an immune system stimulant present in lipopolysaccharide, the book delves into how glycolipid structure on the surface of the cell membrane, which characterizes each organism, is crucial for the coexistence or repulsion between organisms. In addition, glycolipids play an important role in infections in animals and other organisms by targeting host cell membranes, if enveloped viruses are considered as living organisms. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introduction to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Generating Functions in Engineering and the Applied Sciences (2nd Edition)
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031211421 | 208 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 10 MB
Generating function (GF) is a mathematical technique to concisely represent a known ordered sequence into a simple continuous algebraic function in dummy variable(s). This Second Edition introduces commonly encountered generating functions (GFs) in engineering and applied sciences, such as ordinary GF (OGF), exponential GF (EGF), as also Dirichlet GF (DGF), Lambert GF (LGF), Logarithmic GF (LogGF), Hurwitz GF (HGF), Mittag-Lefler GF (MLGF), etc. This bookis intended mainly for beginners in applied science and engineering fields to help them understand single-variable GFs and illustrate how to apply them in various practical problems. Specifically, the book discusses probability GFs (PGF), moment and cumulant GFs (MGF, CGF), mean deviation GFs (MDGF), survival function GFs (SFGF), rising and falling factorial GFs, factorial moment, and inverse factorial moment GFs. Applications of GFs in algebra, analysis of algorithms, bioinformatics, combinatorics, economics, finance, genomics, geometry, graph theory, management, number theory, polymer chemistry, reliability, statistics and structural engineering have been added to this new edition. This book is written in such a way that readers who do not have prior knowledge of the topic can easily follow through the chapters and apply the lessons learned in their respective disciplines.

Naila Kabeer, "Gender & Social Protection Strategies in the Informal Economy"
English | 2010 | pages: 398 | ISBN: 0415578256 | EPUB | 2,3 mb
The vast majority of the world's working women, particularly those from low-income households in developing countries, are located in the informal economy in activities that are casual, poorly paid, irregular and outside the remit of formal social security and protective legislation. This book examines the constraints and barriers which continue to confine women to these forms of work and what this implies for their ability to provide for themselves and their families and to cope with insecurity.

Futures Beyond Dystopia: Creating Social Foresight By Richard A. Slaughter
2003 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0415302692 | PDF | 2 MB
How can dystopian futures help provide the motivation to change the ways we operate day to day?Futures Beyond Dystopia takes the view that the dominant trends in the world suggest a long-term decline into unliveable Dystopian futures. The human prospect is therefore very challenging, yet the perception of dangers and dysfunctions is the first step towards dealing with them. The motivation to avoid future dangers is matched by the human need to create plans and move forward. These twin motivations can be very powerful and help to stimulate the fields of Futures Studies and Applied Foresight.This analysis of current Futures practice is split into six sections:* The Case Against Hegemony* Expanding and Deepening a Futures Frame* Futures Studies and the Integral Agenda* Social Learning through Applied Foresight* Strategies and Outlooks* The Dialectic of Foresight and Experience.This fascinating book will stimulate anyone involved in Futures work around the world and will challenge practitioners and others to re-examine many of their assumptions, methodologies and practices.

Fundamentals of Particle Accelerator Physics
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031076613 | 457 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 30 MB
This book offers a concise and coherent introduction to accelerator physics and technology at the fundamental level but still in connection to advanced applications ranging from high-energy colliders to most advanced light sources, i.e., Compton sources, storage rings and free-electron lasers. The book is targeted at accelerator physics students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, but also of interest also to Ph.D. students and senior scientists not specialized in beam physics and accelerator design, or at the beginning of their career in particle accelerators.

Ali Aboudzadeh, "Function of Polymers in Encapsulation Process"
English | ISBN: 3036537767 | 2022 | 212 pages | PDF | 17 MB
An interdisciplinary book that brings together, at an international level, a high-quality collection of reviews and original research articles dealing with the importance of natural or synthetic polymers in encapsulation processes and their applications. A deep understanding and relevant theoretical calculations for exploring the functions of the materials (involved in the formulations) have also been presented along with fundamental investigations. This book has explored the latest research on the function of polymers in encapsulation technology including fundamental theory and experiments together with reviews and articles. Moreover, the present book offers easy-to-achieve approaches that have been developed so far and could create a platform for industrial material production.
