 Pro Java Microservices with Quarkus and Kubernetes: A Hands-on Guide English | 2021 | ISBN: 1484271696 | 413 Pages | PDF EPUB | 23 MB Build and design microservices using Java and the Red Hat Quarkus Framework. This book will help you quickly get started with the features and concerns of a microservices architecture. It will introduce Docker and Kubernetes to help you deploy your microservices.  Posttranslational Protein Modifications in the Reproductive System by Peter Sutovsky English | EPUB | 2014 | 249 Pages | ISBN : 1493908162 | 2.7 MB This book`s aim is to increase the awareness of a great variety of posttranslational modifications in the male and female reproductive system. Some of the most intriguing reproductive strategies, mechanisms, and pathways involving PTM are discussed, with an added angle of evolutionary conservation and diversity. The book also chapters on sperm-egg binding, as well as on histone modification in both the embryo and sperm. Chapters are also devoted to protein ubiquitination, the regulation of sperm function during fertilization in mammals and tubulin modifications in gametes and embryos.  Positive Integration - EU and WTO Approaches Towards the "Trade and" Debate by Rike Krämer-Hoppe English | PDF | 2019 | 147 Pages | ISBN : 3030256618 | 3.5 MB This book presents a new framework for the 'trade and environment' debate and discusses the ways in which the EU and the WTO address this topic: positive, negative and non-integration. It analyses areas like food safety and renewable energy from the perspectives of legal and political science, and economics, and includes contributions focusing on various approaches, such as harmonisation, regulatory cooperation and judicialisation. In the 21st century, especially in our current times, where free trade and economic integration are increasingly being called into question, it is even more vital to find convincing normative answers and ways to address the very complex relationship between trade and environmental policies. Debunking some of the myths concerning positive and negative integration and the relationship between the two, this book is a valuable contribution to the debate on globalisation.  Perspectives on the Introductory Phase of Empirical Research Articles: A Study of Rhetorical Structure and Citation Use by (Kathy) Ling Lin English | PDF | 2019 | 301 Pages | ISBN : 9813292032 | 5.4 MB Combining English for Specific Purposes (ESP) genre-based analysis, corpus-based language studies, and semi-structured interviews, this book represents the first multi-faceted project on the macro-structure of empirical research articles (ERAs) from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and on the "I+LR" patterned introductory phase (comprising two introductory sections, i.e., the Introduction and the Literature Review in RAs drawn from civil engineering and applied linguistics journals) regarding their rhetorical organization, use of citation, and structural and functional links and variations.  Parallel and High Performance Computing English | 2021 | ISBN: 1617296465 | 1091 Pages | EPUB | 16 MB Complex calculations, like training deep learning models or running large-scale simulations, can take an extremely long time. Efficient parallel programming can save hours-or even days-of computing time. Parallel and High Performance Computing shows you how to deliver faster run-times, greater scalability, and increased energy efficiency to your programs by mastering parallel techniques for multicore processor and GPU hardware.  Optimization of Power System Problems: Methods, Algorithms and MATLAB Codes by Mahmoud Pesaran Hajiabbas English | PDF | 2020 | 386 Pages | ISBN : 303034049X | 15.7 MB This book presents integrated optimization methods and algorithms for power system problems along with their codes in MATLAB. Providing a reliable and secure power and energy system is one of the main challenges of the new era. Due to the nonlinear multi-objective nature of these problems, the traditional methods are not suitable approaches for solving large-scale power system operation dilemmas. The integration of optimization algorithms into power systems has been discussed in several textbooks, but this is the first to include the integration methods and the developed codes.  Optical Properties of Solar Absorber Materials and Structures English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811634912 | 323 Pages | PDF EPUB | 44 MB This book presents an overview of both the theory and experimental methods required to realize high efficiency solar absorber devices. It begins with a historical description of the study of spectrally selective solar absorber materials and structures based on optical principles and methods developed over the past few decades. The optical properties of metals and dielectric materials are addressed to provide the background necessary to achieve high performance of the solar absorber devices as applied in the solar energy field. In the following sections, different types of materials and structures, together with the relevant experimental methods, are discussed for practical construction and fabrication of the solar absorber devices, aiming to maximally harvest the solar energy while at the same time effectively suppressing the heat-emission loss. The optical principles and methods used to evaluate the performance of solar absorber devices with broad applications in different physical conditions are presented. The book is suitable for graduate students in applied physics, and provides a valuable reference for researchers working actively in the field of solar energy.  Next Generation Sequencing Technologies and Challenges in Sequence Assembly by Sara El-Metwally English | PDF | 2014 | 118 Pages | ISBN : 149390714X | 1.5 MB The introduction of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies resulted in a major transformation in the way scientists extract genetic information from biological systems, revealing limitless insight about the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of any species.  Neo-shamanism and Mental Health by Karel James Bouse English | PDF | 2019 | 163 Pages | ISBN : 3030319105 | 1.8 MB This book explores the contemporary practice of Neo-shamanism and its relationship to mental health. Chapters cover the practice of Neo-shamanism, how it differs from traditional shamanism, the technology of the shamanic journey, the lifeworlds of some of its practitioners, as well as its benefits and pitfalls.  Nature and Psychology: Biological, Cognitive, Developmental, and Social Pathways to Well-being English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030690199 | 287 Pages | PDF EPUB | 14 MB This volume is comprised of contributions to the 67th Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which brought together various research disciplines such as psychology, education, health sciences, natural resources, environmental studies to investigate the ways in which nature influences cognition, health, human behavior, and well-being. The symposium is positioned to explore two proposed mechanisms in the most depth: 1) the psycho-evolutionary theory of stress recovery and 2) Attention Restoration Theory. The contributions in the volume represent research guided by both of these posited mechanisms, rigorously examine these theories and processes, and share methodological innovations that can be utilized across programs of research. This volume will be of great interest to researchers on natural environments, practitioners and clinicians working with an environmental lens at the intersection of psychology, social work, education and the health sciences, as well as researchers and students in environmental and conservation psychology. |
