Through discussing these cutting edge researches, the future directions of nanowire electronics are identified.

This edited volume provides comprehensive and latest information on the fungal biodiversity in its morphological characters, bioactive molecules, pathogenicity and virulence, and its impacts on crop production and sustainable management of agricultural productivity towards resolving global food security issues. The increasing number of infectious fungal diseases are regarded as threats to agricultural productivity and global food security. The efforts done by scientists to inventories the fungal diversity and identification of fungal species contributing as pathogens towards many plant and human diseases have been compiled in the present volume. The identification of the potential fungal pathogens is a prerequisite for an effective disease control management program. Also important is to understand the complex interactions between the host-pathogen and the environment. The book dwells on insights on the aforementioned aspects. The book also includes articles on ecological significance of fungi and fungal antagonists used as biocontrol agents on other pathogens. This compilation is useful to scientists working in similar areas as well as to undergraduate and graduate students keen on getting updated information on the subject. Scientists involved in agricultural research, crop management, and industries that manufacture agrochemicals may also find it useful read.

This book offers a timely yet comprehensive snapshot of innovative research and developments at the interface between manufacturing, materials and mechanical engineering, and quality assurance.
It covers a wide range of manufacturing processes, such as cutting, grinding, assembly, and coatings, including ultrasonic treatment, molding, radial-isostatic compression, ionic-plasma deposition, volumetric vibration treatment, and wear resistance. It also highlights the advantages of augmented reality, RFID technology, reverse engineering, optimization, heat and mass transfer, energy management, quality inspection, and environmental impact.

This book presents the results of a European-Chinese collaborative research project, Manipulation of Reynolds Stress for Separation Control and Drag Reduction (MARS), including an analysis and discussion of the effects of a number of active flow control devices on the discrete dynamic components of the turbulent shear layers and Reynolds stress. From an application point of view, it provides a positive and necessary step to control individual structures that are larger in scale and lower in frequency compared to the richness of the temporal and spatial scales in turbulent separated flows.

This book constitutes refereed proceedings of the 8th Conference on Information and Communication Technologies of Ecuador, TICEC 2020, held in November 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held online.
The 36 full and 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 117 qualified submissions. The papers are organized according to the following topical sections: biomedical sensors and wearables systems; data science; ICT´s applications; industry 4.0; smart cities; software development; technology and environment.

This book discusses socio-environmental interactions in the middle to late Holocene, covering specific areas along the ancient Silk Road regions. Over twenty chapters provide insight into this topic from various disciplinary angles and perspectives, ranging from archaeology, paleoclimatology, antiquity, historical geography, agriculture, carving art and literacy.

Elektrofahrzeuge sind für Entwickler der Fahrzeug­akustik ebenso eine Heraus­forderung wie eine höhere NVH-Performance durch Leicht­bau­strukturen und kleinere Motoren mit Turbo­lader. Die Auto­mobil­forschung muss das Akustik­manage­ment im Fahrzeug neu denken. Die internationale Automotive Acoustics Conference bietet dazu als Fach­tagung das notwendige Experten­wissen, um die künftigen Anforderungen an Antriebs­strang, Antriebs­systeme und Fahrzeug­architek­turen zu erfüllen. Simulations­prozesse und Verfahren der Multi­physik sind dabei essenziell, um Ruhe in die Passagier­kabine zu bringen. Die Konferenz zur car acoustics bietet dazu neustes Experten­wissen.

Dieses Buch behandelt grundwasserchemische Fragen, die durch die zunehmende Nutzung und Verschmutzung der aquatischen Umwelt immer wichtiger werden. Die Autoren erläutern die Belastungen des Grundwassers mit verschiedenen anorganischen und organischen Stoffen sowie das Verhalten dieser Stoffe in Grundwasserleitern und die chemischen Aspekte der Wasseraufbereitung.

This book presents Proceedings of the 2021 Intelligent Systems Conference which is a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wider range of topics in areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence and their applications to the real world. The conference attracted a total of 496 submissions from many academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer-review process. Of the total submissions, 180 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings.

Am Anfang dieses umfangreichen und modernen Nachschlagewerkes steht die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Drehflügler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Die Strahl- und Blattelemententheorie sowie deren Anwendung im Schwebe-, Vertikal-, Vorwärts- und Autorotationsflug stellen zunächst den Schwerpunkt dar. Die Grundlagen der Rotorblattdynamik, der Leistungsrechnung sowie des Hubschrauberentwurfes werden anschließend erläutert.

Eye cancers vary in presentation depending upon geographic location and access to healthcare.
