“…When materials are irradiated with energetic charged particles (ions /electrons), their energies are transferred to electrons and atoms in materials, and the lattice structures of the materials are largely changed to metastable or non-thermal-equilibrium states, modifying several physical properties. Such phenomena will engage the interest of researchers as a basic science, and can also be used as promising tools for adding new functionalities to existing materials and for the development of novel materials. …”

“…We may age physiologically and chronologically, but our social aging--how we behave as social actors toward others, and even how we align ourselves with or come to understand the signs of difference or change as we age--are phenomena achieved primarily through communication experiences.Synthesizing the vast amount of research that has been published on communication and aging in numerous international outlets over the last three decades, the book's contributors include scholars from North America and the United Kingdom who are active researchers in the perspectives covered in their particular chapter. …”

“…Jung demonstrates his thesis by an investigation of the Allegoria Christi, especially the fish symbol, but also of Gnostic and alchemical symbolism, which he treats as phenomena of cultural assimilation. The first four chapters, on the ego, the shadow, and the anima and animus, provide a valuable summation of these key concepts in Jung's system of psychology…”

“…The starting point is the reconceptualization of the notion of natural disaster, which manifests the distancing between nature and society and has made human beings lose their ancestral fear of geological and meteorological phenomena, to consider instead the conditions of vulnerability of the Northern Patagonian region.In this way, and with the aim that the knowledge about the multiplicity of events generated by the eruption allows mitigating its negative effects, this research recovers the memory of the inhabitants and analyzes the approach strategies focused on economic, productive and social activities. …”
