Natura Incognita: New Perspectives in the History of Science
English | 2026 | ISBN: 303212445X | 371 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 52 MB
Far from exhaustive yet remarkably rich, the volume brings a collection of previously unpublished contributions by early-career scholars that together provide an overview of current research trends in the Italian history of science community. The essays employ diverse methodologies, all rooted in a careful analysis of textual, archival, material, and visual sources from which local and global stories of science emerge. These contributions were originally presented at the Early Career Conference of the Italian Society for the History of Science (Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn - Naples, September 6-8, 2023), and cover a wide range of scientific fields, from botany to zoology, medicine to mental sciences, physics to earth sciences, with a particular focus on the tools and techniques used in the study of nature. The timeframe is broad, taking the reader on a journey from antiquity through the early modern era and well into the 20th century. Overall, the book highlights how the production of new scientific knowledge and practices results from a sustained, long-standing interest in the natural world.

Nanoreactors and Innovative Applications
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819819016 | 342 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 57 MB
This book presents a comprehensive review, analysis and synthesis of the advances in nanoreactors and their innovative applications in sustainable energy, environmental, and biomedical processes. It begins with an overview of bioinspired materials and artificial devices, followed by a detailed explanation of the definition and basic structural characteristics of nanoreactors. It focuses on key synthetic strategies for controlling the size, composition, morphology, and functionalisation of nanoreactors. The distinctive structure-activity relationships, including spatial limiting effects, pore selective/confinement effects, and isolation-synergy effects of active species at a cross-scale level, are reviewed and thoroughly discussed. A range of innovative applications of nanoreactors in catalysis, biomedical separation and reactions, wastewater treatment, and energy conversion and storage is examined. Finally, major bottlenecks and challenges in structural optimization will be highlighted and future design schemes and research frontiers in this burgeoning field proposed.

Mussolini in Rapperswil: Eine historische Spurensuche
Deutsch | 2026 | ISBN: 3384818091 | 63 Pages | EPUB (True) | 6 MB
Seit Generationen hält sich in Rapperswil eine hartnäckige Legende: Der junge Benito Mussolini soll 1905 als einfacher Handlanger am Bau des Schulhauses Herrenberg mitgewirkt und im lokalen Restaurant Tonhalle feurige Reden vor italienischen Arbeitern gehalten haben. Ein vergilbtes Gruppenfoto gilt seither als das einzige sichere Zeugnis für seine Anwesenheit.

Multivariate Analysis with LISREL
English | 2026 | ISBN: 303224305X | 460 Pages | PDF (True) | 20 MB
In addition to core topics such as structural equation modeling, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses, regression, principal component analysis, and longitudinal data analysis, it introduces two new chapters on models for twin data and simulation, and adds important new sections on time series analysis, mediation and moderation, interaction models, and multitrait-multimethod models.

Multiplicative Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1527589978 | 370 Pages | PDF (True) | 4 MB
Differential and integral calculus, the most applicable mathematical theory, was created independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz in the second half of the 17th century. Later, Leonard Euler redirected calculus by giving a central place to the concept of function, and thus founded analysis. Two operations, differentiation and integration, are basic in calculus and analysis. In fact, they are the infinitesimal versions of the subtraction and addition operations on numbers, respectively. From 1967 until 1970, Michael Grossman and Robert Katz gave definitions of a new kind of derivative and integral, moving the roles of subtraction and addition to division and multiplication, and thus established a new calculus, called multiplicative calculus. Multiplicative calculus can especially be useful as a mathematical tool for economics and finance. This book is devoted to multiplicative Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, summarizing the most recent contributions in this area. It will appeal to a wide audience of specialists such as mathematicians, physicists, engineers and biologists, and can be used as a textbook at the graduate level or as a reference book for several disciplines.

Multimodal Knowledge Systems: Construction and Reasoning
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032187605 | 235 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 34 MB
This book focuses on advancing the integration of multimodal data (text, images, and structured knowledge) to enable precise knowledge extraction and human-like reasoning. The book's primary objective is to address critical challenges such as modality gaps, semantic misalignment, dataset biases, and static reasoning paradigms. By introducing novel frameworks that unify graph-based learning, hierarchical representation, bias mitigation, and iterative refinement, this book provides systematic solutions to build robust, interpretable, and scalable AI systems. This book addresses gaps caused by incomplete textual semantics, spurious correlations across modalities, and inflexible reasoning pipelines by offering three pivotal contributions. First, the authors offer theoretical innovations in graph alignment techniques, hierarchical learning paradigms, and multi-agent reasoning frameworks. Then, the book goes on to offer practical tools including benchmark datasets, reproducible methodologies, and applications validated on state-of-the-art tasks. Finally, the book offers a broader impact through solutions tailored for low-resource settings, ethical considerations in AI deployment, and integration with emerging technologies like large foundation models. By bridging the divide between theoretical advancements and real-world applicability, the book serves as an essential resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to leverage multimodal data effectively, ethically, and at scale.

Multifunctorial Equivariant Algebraic K-Theory
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1009775200 | 489 Pages | PDF | 5 MB
A central question in equivariant algebraic K-theory asks whether there exists an equivariant K-theory machine from genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories to orthogonal G-spectra that preserves equivariant algebraic structures. This book answers this question positively by constructing an enriched multifunctor from the G-categorically enriched multicategory of O-pseudoalgebras to the symmetric monoidal category of orthogonal G-spectra, for a compact Lie group G and a 1-connected pseudo-commutative G-categorical operad O. As the main application of its enriched multifunctoriality, this machine preserves all equivariant algebraic structures parametrized by multicategories enriched in either G-spaces or G-categories. In addition to highly detailed proofs of all the main results, this work also reviews relevant concepts, including orthogonal G-spectra. Appendices provide the necessary background on symmetric monoidal categories, multicategories, and classifying space. Clearly written and well organized, this book will be a useful reference for researchers and graduate students for years to come.
