 Antimicrobial Compounds: Current Strategies and New Alternatives by Tomás G. Villa English | PDF | 2014 | 325 Pages | ISBN : 364240443X | 6.4 MB Since penicillin and salvarsan were discovered, a number of new drugs to combat infectious diseases have been developed, but at the same time, the number of multi-resistant microorganism strains is increasing. Thus, the design of new and effective antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal agents will be a major challenge in the next years.  Alternative Envelope Components for Energy-Efficient Buildings English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030709590 | 105 Pages | PDF | 5 MB This book examines ways of saving energy by using green roofs and facades, solar devices such as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and thermal solar panels, as components of energy-efficient building envelopes. The author takes an interdisciplinary / multidisciplinary approach to the subject that analyzes several different scientific fields connected to building research-sustainability, sustainable architecture, energy efficiency in buildings, and building envelopes-while approaching other collateral domains, including history, archaeology, botanics, physics, engineering, and landscape architecture. Alternative Envelope Components for Energy-Efficient Buildings will be a welcome resource for researchers, students, and postgraduates in the fields of energy, building materials, and renewable energy, as well as architects, engineers, and specialists in industries related to building products.  Algebra: Notes from the Underground English | 2021 | ISBN: 1108958230 | 490 Pages | PDF | 4 MB From rings to modules to groups to fields, this undergraduate introduction to abstract algebra follows an unconventional path. The text emphasizes a modern perspective on the subject, with gentle mentions of the unifying categorical principles underlying the various constructions and the role of universal properties. A key feature is the treatment of modules, including a proof of the classification theorem for finitely generated modules over Euclidean domains. Noetherian modules and some of the language of exact complexes are introduced. In addition, standard topics - such as the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the Gauss Lemma, the Sylow Theorems, simplicity of alternating groups, standard results on field extensions, and the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory - are all treated in detail. Students will appreciate the text's conversational style, 400+ exercises, an appendix with complete solutions to around 150 of the main text problems, and an appendix with general background on basic logic and naïve set theory.  Aesthetics and the Iconoclasm of Contemporary Art: Pictures Without a World English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030753042 | 151 Pages | PDF | 2 MB The main themes and aims of this book are understanding aesthetics, contemporary art and the end of the avant-garde not from the traditional viewpoint of the metaphysics of the beautiful and the sublime but rather thru close connection to the techno-genesis of virtual worlds. This book tackles problems in contemporary art theory such as the body in space and time of digital technologies, along with other issues in visual studies and image science. Further intentions exhibit the fundamental reasons for the disappearance of the picture in the era of virtual reality starting from the notion of contemporary art as realized iconoclasm; art has no world for its "image". The author argues that the iconoclasm of contemporary art has severe consequences. This text appeals to philosophers of art and those interested in contemporary art theory.  Advances in Plant Breeding Strategies: Vegetable Crops: Volume 8: Bulbs, Roots and Tubers English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030669645 | 560 Pages | PDF | 18 MB This book examines the development of innovative modern methodologies towards augmenting conventional plant breeding, in individual crops, for the production of new crop varieties under the increasingly limiting environmental and cultivation factors to achieve sustainable agricultural production, enhanced food security, in addition to providing raw materials for innovative industrial products and pharmaceuticals.  Advanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD'2019): Volume 6 - Advanced Intelligent Systems for Networks and Systems by Mostafa Ezziyyani English | PDF | 2019 | 540 Pages | ISBN : 3030331024 | 41.6 MB This proceedings book presents extended versions of papers on advanced intelligent systems for networks and system selected from the second edition of the International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD'2019), which was held on 8-11 July 2019 in Marrakech, Morocco.  Adjusting to Brain Injury: Reflections from Survivors, Family Members and Clinicians English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367629291 | 207 Pages | PDF | 7 MB This important book in the After Brain Injury: Survivor Stories Series tells the story of four people who suffered acquired brain injuries: Karl Hargreaves and Ashraf Sheikh as a result of road traffic accidents, Lisa Summerill because of a stroke and Meg Archer as a result of meningitis.  Absent Management in Banking: How Banks Fail and Cause Financial Crisis by Christian Dinesen English | PDF | 2020 | 304 Pages | ISBN : 3030358232 | 2.6 MB Offering a historical analysis of management in banking from the Medici to present day, this book explores how banks can cause devastating financial crisis when they fail. Rather than labelling management as 'good' or 'bad', the author focuses on the concept of absent management, which can occur as a result of complexity.
