A groundbreaking text to the study of textile fibers that bridges the knowledge gap between fiber shape and end uses Textile Fiber Microscopy offers an important and comprehensive guide to the study of textile fibers and contains a unique text that prioritizes a review of fibers' microstructure, macrostructure and chemical composition. The author - a noted expert in the field - details many fiber types and includes all the possible fiber shapes with a number of illustrative micrographs. The author explores a wealth of topics such as fiber end uses, fiber source and production, a history of each fiber and the sustainability of the various fibers. The text includes a review of environmentally friendly fibers and contains information on the most current fiber science by putting the focus on fibers that have been mechanically or chemically recycled, for use in textile production. The author also offers an exploration of issues of textile waste and the lack of textile recycling that can help public policymakers with ways to inform and regulate post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste issues. This vital guide: * Contains an accompanied micrograph for many fibers presented * Includes information on how fiber microstructure is connected to fabric properties and how it affects the end use of fabrics * Offers a review of the sophistication of textile fibers from a scientific point of view * Presents a comparative textile fiber review that is appropriate for both for students, textile experts and forensic scientists Written for students and professionals of apparel design and merchandising, and forensic scientists, Textile Fiber Microscopy presents an important review of textile fibers from a unique perspective that explores fibers' microstructure, macrostructure and chemical composition.

<div> Wir erleben derzeit eine neue Dimension der Gentechnik, doch wohin soll die Reise führen?  </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Sollen wir Krankheiten therapieren oder besser genetisch reparieren? Führt die neue Gentechnik verbunden mit der modernen Reproduktionsbiologie zu Designer-Babies? Und: Dürfen wir eine Liberalisierung dieser Techniken als Bürgerwissenschaft (Citizen Science) zulassen? </div> <div> <br> </div>Neue Methoden können das Erbgut präzise verändern – und sie hinterlassen keine Spuren. Diese „Gen(om)chirurgie“ gedeiht auf dem Boden zunehmenden Wissens um die Wirkungsweise der Gene, jenen merkmalsgebenden Bereichen im Genom. Vor allem im Bereich der Züchtung widerstandsfähigerer und ertragreicherer Kulturpflanzen findet dieses Wissen seine praktische Anwendung.  <div> <br> </div> <div> Und der Mensch? Der Autor zeigt, dass Genvarianten längst nicht mehr nur mit Krankheiten, sondern auch mit Ernährungsvorlieben oder Intelligenz in Verbindung gesetzt werden. Therapie- und Optimierungsmöglichkeiten liegen nahe beieinander.   </div> <div> Welche Wirkung hat die Umwelt auf die Ausprägung des Erbguts? Gene können zu Lebzeiten durch Umwelt, Ernährung oder Erlebtes geprägt und so verändert an die Nachkommen weitergegeben werden.

<p></p> <p>This book examines Shakespearean adaptations through the critical lens of fan studies and asks what it means to be a fan of Shakespeare in the context of contemporary media fandom. Although Shakespeare studies and fan studies have remained largely separate from one another for the past thirty years, this book establishes a sustained dialogue between the two fields. In the process, it reveals and seeks to overcome the problematic assumptions about the history of fan cultures, Shakespeare’s place in that history, and how fan works are defined. While fandom is normally perceived as a recent phenomenon focused primarily on science fiction and fantasy, this book traces fans’ practices back to the eighteenth century, particularly David Garrick’s Shakespeare Jubilee in 1769. <i>Shakespeare’s Fans</i> connects historical and scholarly debates over who owns Shakespeare and what constitutes an appropriate adaptation of his work to online fan fiction and commercially available fan works.</p> <br> <p></p>

<p>This book offers an in-depth and comprehensive review on current understanding of regulatory ncRNAs in complex diseases from a view of bioinformatics. It conveys state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools and methods for ncRNAs from computational detection, functional prediction, to their roles in diseases. Computational methods used to investigate uncharacterised ncRNAs in diseases are mainly summarized in seven aspects: DNA variation of ncRNAs in diseases, prioritization of disease-related ncRNAs, dysregulation epigenetic factors that regulate ncRNA misexpression (DNA methylation and histone-modification), complex crosstalk across ncRNAs, ncRNAs acted as competing regulators to mediate the expression of protein-coding genes, non-coding RNAs mediated risk pathways,and their contributions to drug target predictions. The generally used data resources of ncRNAs are also listed in the end. This book provides important information on the current progress in the fast-moving fields of bioinformatics for regulatory ncRNAs. It provides a timely and useful reference for computational biologists, specifically with RNA interests, and other related areas.</p> <p>Prof. Xia Li is a Professor and the Dean of College of Bioinformatics Science and Technology, Harbin Medical University, China.

This edited collection draws on case studies from around the world to shed light on the sometimes contentious topic of populism. Examining diverse contexts including North America, Latin America, Europe, New Zealand, and Russia, the authors employ different approaches to populist discourse to analyse key notions in populism such as ‘the people’ and ‘the heartland’ as well as the exploitation of medium and narrative. Each of the chapters in this book explores an aspect of the way in which populism constructs a political reality, with reference to such high-profile examples as Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, the Scottish National Party, Hugo Chávez, Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama, and Winston Peters. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of both discourse analysis and political science.   <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div>

<p>This multi-contributed volume provides a practical, applications-focused introduction to nonlinear acoustical techniques for nondestructive evaluation. Compared to linear techniques, nonlinear acoustical/ultrasonic techniques are much more sensitive to micro-cracks and other types of small distributed damages. Most materials and structures exhibit nonlinear behavior due to the formation of dislocation and micro-cracks from fatigue or other types of repetitive loadings well before detectable macro-cracks are formed.  Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) tools that have been developed based on nonlinear acoustical techniques are capable of providing early warnings about the possibility of structural failure before detectable macro-cracks are formed. This book presents the full range of nonlinear acoustical techniques used today for NDE. The expert chapters cover both theoretical and experimental aspects, but always with an eye towards applications. Unlike other titles currently available, which treat nonlinearity as a physics problem and focus on different analytical derivations, the present volume emphasizes NDE applications over detailed analytical derivations. The introductory chapter presents the fundamentals in a manner accessible to anyone with an undergraduate degree in Engineering or Physics and equips the reader with all of the necessary background to understand the remaining chapters. This self-contained volume will be a valuable reference to graduate students through practising researchers in Engineering, Materials Science, and Physics.</p> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>Represents the first book on nonlinear acoustical techniques for NDE applications<br></li> <li>Emphasizes applications of nonlinear acoustical techniques<br></li> <li>Presents the fundamental physics and mathematics behind nonlinear acoustical phenomenon in a simple, easily understood manner<br></li> <li>Covers a variety of popular NDE techniques based on nonlinear acoustics in a single volume</li> </ul> <p></p>
