Industrial Buildings and Safety
English | 2026 | ISBN: 303215801X | 279 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 76 MB
This book discusses the structural safety and fire protection issues of industrial plants and industrial buildings, and also provides thoughtful discussions and analyses on the current development of industrial buildings and the future development of industrial buildings. This book collects outstanding papers from the 2025 8th International Conference on Structural Engineering and Industrial Architecture, and all the themes revolve around industrial buildings. The research directions of this book mainly focus on the following contents, including research on laws and regulations related to industrial buildings, structural safety design, repair and durability analysis of industrial buildings, fire protection research on industrial buildings and high-risk workshops, economic research on industrial buildings, and transformation and improvement of existing industrial buildings. We hope this book can bring the field of industrial buildings back into the focus of researchers and attract more attention. In the foreseeable future, industrial buildings will remain an indispensable and important building form and content in civil engineering, and their safety will continue to be of importance. The readers of this book are civil engineers, civil engineering-related practitioners, and researchers.

India's Covid-19 Vaccine Drive: Management of Over 2 Billion Doses

This book provides an overview of India's COVID-19 vaccination journey, highlighting the innovative strategies for managing vaccine distribution and combating hesitancy. It discusses how India handled its vaccine rollout and supply chain, emphasizing the need for adjustments in response to rapidly changing vaccination policies. It also examines the strategic 'triage' system that optimized vaccine distribution.

In The Search For Beauty: Unravelling Non-euclidean Geometry
English | 2019 | ISBN: 9813274352 | 248 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This is a popular book that chronicles the historical attempts to prove the fifth postulate of Euclid on parallel lines that led eventually to the creation of non-Euclidean geometry. To absorb the mathematical content of the book, the reader should be familiar with the foundations of Euclidean geometry at the high school level. But besides the mathematics, the book is also devoted to stories about the people, brilliant mathematicians starting from Pythagoras and Euclid and terminating with Gauss, Lobachevsky and Klein. For two thousand years, mathematicians tried to prove the fifth postulate (whose formulation seemed to them too complicated to be a real postulate and not a theorem, hence the title In the Search for Beauty). But in the 19th century, they realized that such proof was impossible, and this led to a revolution in mathematics and then in physics. The two final chapters are devoted to Einstein and his general relativity which revealed to us that the geometry of the world we live in is not Euclidean.Also included is an historical essay on Omar Khayyam, who was not only a poet, but also a brilliant astronomer and mathematician.

Improving Tests for Discrete Small Sample Data
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819553008 | 131 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This book provides a guide for improving test statistics that are based on phi-divergence for discrete models, which include various kinds of independence models of contingency tables as well as generalized linear models of binary data. The improvements are based on the theory of asymptotic expansion and lead to correct conclusions of a test even when sample sizes are not large. Without such an improvement, there is a risk that the results of a test will lead to the opposite conclusion, as a limiting distribution is used for an approximated distribution of test statistics.

Immunology: Overview and Laboratory Manual
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032199972 | 568 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 44 MB
Section I of this book provides an overview of the immune system and immunity, and includes review questions, problem sets, case studies, inquiry-based questions, and more to provide students with a strong foundation in the field. New chapters on trained immunity, oral immunity, mucosal immunity, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and immune checkpoint inhibitors have been added to the second edition. Section II consists of thirty-seven lab exercises focused on key concepts in immunology, such as antibody production, cell separation, cell function, immunoassays, Th1/Th2 cytokine detection, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), nitric oxide detection, cell and tissue culture methods, and cell and molecular biology techniques. Appendices include safety information, suggested links and readings, and standard discipline processes, protocols, and instructions.

Immunoassays: Methods, Troubleshooting and Regulatory Requirements
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3662717816 | 763 Pages | PDF (True) | 51 MB
Each chapter in Immunoassays begins with a basic introduction to the topic before going on to cover important details for everyday laboratory work and professional practice. Readers will gain confidence in using the methods as potential problems are discussed in detail and troubleshooting sections help to solve them. The book covers all the classic and essential techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), dot blot, and western blot, as well as the latest advances in polymerase chain reaction (PCR), flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and 3D cell and organoid culture. Importantly, the book also covers regulatory requirements and provides information on quality systems with various mandatory guidelines and regulations, such as in-vitro diagnostics, medical devices, the pharmaceutical industry, and food analysis.

I dispositivi di ritenuta e le barriere di sicurezza stradali
Italiano | 2026 | ISBN: 3032107091 | 243 Pages | PDF (True) | 42 MB
Il testo illustra le modalità operative per l'esecuzione delle prove reali di crash test, le procedure per l'eventuale modifica dei dispositivi o delle modalità di posa in opera e l'impiego delle simulazioni numeriche nei vari contesti applicativi.
