An annotated and edited translation of the original Spanish text with the additions of the French version by Pedro Pasik and Tauba Pasik

The book presents the latest findings in experimental plasticity, crystal plasticity, phase transitions, advanced mathematical modeling of finite plasticity and multi-scale modeling.

Maintaining the integrity and the faith to one's own ideals may require extraordinary strength of character, - up to courting persecution or even death, - as happened in the middle ages, and more recently, in the first half of this century with regard to Cecile and Os kar Vogt, whose lives and accomplishments are described in this book.

In this compact introduction to the theory and application of electronic textiles and wearable technology, practical applications are explained in detail and clarified by many illustrations. Unpublished projects by many designers and companies are included.

The book addresses all major aspects to be considered for the design and operation of aircrafts within the entire transportation chain. It provides the basic information about the legal environment, which defines the basic requirements for aircraft design and aircraft operation.

Through a detailed critique of existing online social networks, this volume presents the technical and methodological aspects of designing social media platforms and applications. Readers will learn current techniques and best practices for designing and implementing social networks on the web.

This book explores the potential role of space-based systems in global risk and disaster management. The text introduces the proposed international global natural and industrial emergency aerospace monitoring system (IGMASS), its architecture and function.

An atlas that shows drawings of anatomical landmarks for neuronavigation for preoperative planning. It also shows the relationships between bony landmarks and landmarks which are no longer available after opening of the skull but still recognizable during the operation.

The extravasation of cytotoxic agents can result in severe local tissue damage and medical emergencies during tumor therapy. This revised second edition of the compendium is intended to help clinicians assess any situation speedily and with certainty.

This atlas provides a detailed insight into the complex structure and organization of cells and tissues, and highlights their specific functions as well as the dynamics of diverse intracellular processes.

Haptic Systems Architecture Modeling showcases a novel approach to modeling systems architectures by utilizing Lego bricks and RFID technology. The presented solution can be used by systems and software architects to communicate their design decisions with other stakeholders.

In the first part of the book the surgical anatomy of the nose and sinuses and the basic surgical techniques are described. The detailed, step by step narratives - integrated with many intraoperative photographs - accurately convey both surgical fundamentals and nuances.

Venous valves rank among the smallest and most delicate organs of the human and animal bodies - so why devote an entire book to them? In the pathogenesis of a number of widespread diseases, such as varicose veins or the post-thrombotic syndrome, venous valves are involved as the underlying cause or at least a factor contributory to the symptoms.

This book provides an introduction to the design and mechanical development of reciprocating piston engines for vehicular applications. Each major engine component and sub-system is then taken up in turn, from lubrication system, to cooling system, to intake and exhaust systems, to NVH.

The main part of the book focuses on the clinical aspects giving detailed descriptions on skin tumor detection as well as photodynamic treatment of selected diseases (solar keratoses, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, Bowen's disease, psoriasis lesions, etc.).

This book presents a hybrid approach to the mechanics of thin bodies for rods, plates and shells. The majority of the simulations were performed in the Wolfram Mathematica environment and the compact source code is provided as an integral part of the book.

Approaching transient friction effects by deriving the behavior of macroscopic friction surfaces from microscopic surface physics, this book proposes and demonstrates a multi-scale iteration for calculating the time-dependent real contact between two bodies.

The biological activity of mycotoxins ranges from weak and/or sometimes positive effects, such as antibacterial activity (see penicillin derivatives derived from Penicillium strains) to strong mutagenic (e. Sections are arranged according to mycotoxin classes (e. aflatoxins) and/or structural classes (e.

As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons we began to publish in 1974 this series devoted to Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.

It presents a step-by-step surgical approach from the anterior nasal spine to the anterior wall of the sphenoid, illustrated by brilliant colour photographs. Four critical anatomical structures are emphasised as the foundation for a precise approach to surgery of the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, frontal, and posterior ethmoid sinuses.

Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions.

The author has used for the same purpose methods ranging from physical anthropology to forensic medicine and especially a recent method of comparison of epigenetic traits, which proved to be very useful for the identification of family related skulls in connection with historical and other data.

This is the first comprehensive review of the world literature on filovirus research and provides the most extensive bibliography of the subject yet published. Every aspect of filovirus research, including their history, epidemiology, clinical picture, pathology, molecular biology, and political aspects are reviewed in detail.

This volume provides a comprehensive account of the physical and mechanical behaviour of polyurethanes (PUs) elastomers, films, and blends of variable crystallinity. Topics include the elasticity and inelasticity of PUs, in relation to their sensitivity to chemical and physical structure.
