“…Through essays and lectures, Foucault explores themes such as political practices, scientific discourse, and societal control mechanisms. He critiques the traditional concepts of universal systems and foundational truths, advocating instead for an analysis rooted in historical and social contexts. …”

“…The chapters are written for the electric power-engineering professional for detailed design information, as well as for other engineering professions (e.g., mechanical, civil) who want an overview or specific information in one particular area--…”

“…The book provides a detailed examination of the coping mechanisms people use and offers strategies for overcoming these difficulties. …”

“…The issue contains 13 papers, which highlight recent investigations and developments in diamond research related to the diverse problems of natural diamond genesis, diamond synthesis and growth using CVD and HPHT techniques, and the use of diamond in both traditional applications, such as mechanical machining of materials, and the new recently emerged areas, such as quantum technologies. …”

“…The papers collected investigate the mechanisms that determine the social diffusion of trust, examining the interplay of the psychological, sociological and economic factors; and analyze the impact of the food risk communication policies on consumers and producers and on the society as a whole…”

“…In particular, the book focuses on the more recent results in mathematical physics, engineering applications, theoretical and applied physics as quantum mechanics, signal analysis, and in those relevant research fields where nonlinear dynamics occurs and several tools of nonlinear analysis are required. …”

“…The present book encompasses many key aspects of polyphenolsfrom classification, dietary sources, health benefits, to possible mechanisms of action. ""Polyphenols"" is intended for a wide range of readers, hoping to provide readers with the recent scientific findings of why and how polyphenols can exert multiple health benefits…”

“…Toxicologists seek to better understand the myriad of mechanisms responsible for neurotoxins. Because the incidence of neurobehavioral hazards and risks of exogenous compounds (e.g., natural toxins, synthetic molecules, and therapeutic agents) remain a subject matter of interest, predictive tools have evolved, including but not limited to novel translational in vitro models, biomarkers, newer epidemiological research tools, and well-accepted best practices for diagnosing neurotoxins in clinical practice. …”

“…The current standard model of cosmology is based primarily on two incompatible theoretical models: (1) the standard model of particle physics, which describes the physics of the very small in terms of quantum mechanics, and (2) the general theory of relativity, which describes the physics of the very large in terms of classical physics. …”

“…This edited volume is concerned with the evolution and achievements of cooperation in research and innovation between Africa and Europe, and points to the need for more diversified funding and finance mechanisms, and for novel models of collaboration to attract new actors and innovative ideas. …”

“…Developments in the understanding of the fundamental principles of the nanowire growth mechanisms and mastering functionalization provide tools to control crystal structure, morphology, and the interactions at the material interface, and create characteristics that are superior to those of planar geometries. …”

“…There exist hardly any functioning market mechanisms for IP. For these reasons, IP valuation for strategic and prognostic, i.e. future-related, purposes is highly complex. …”

“…It demonstrates the significant interest and increasing relevance to ameliorate nuclear medicine imaging with PET or SPECT, and also radiotherapeutical procedures.Numerous targets and mechanisms have been identified and have been under investigation over the previous years, covering many fields of medical and clinical research. …”

“…As a consequence, trees develop an orchestra of resilience and resistance mechanisms to biotic and abiotic stresses in order to support their growth and development in a constantly changing atmospheric and pedospheric environment. …”

“…Postwar polemics concentrated on German aggression and war crimes, but the real issue was the damage done to the world's economic mechanism. In the end all nations suffered, including the United States…”

“…The papers that comprise this volume examine the concept of precedence as a form of local discourse and as a mechanism for ordering status, at different levels, within specific Austronesian-speaking societies. …”

“…These cells are not only responsible for converting chemical and mechanical stimuli into the electrical signals but are also liable for monitoring vital functions. …”

“…Plants have developed mechanisms to deal with pathogenic attacks, while at the same time, pathogens are actively devising ways of overcoming the plant defense systems. …”

“…Various nature-inspired algorithms and their multidisciplinary applications (in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, machine learning, image processing, data mining and wireless network domains are detailed, which will make this book a handy reference guide…”
