The intricate relationship between art and health has garnered increasing attention in recent years, particularly concerning Indigenous communities. The Arts of Indigenous Health and Well-Being aims to explore how creative practices serve as essential components of health, well-being, and healing among Indigenous peoples. The concept of the "good life," or ‘mino-pimatisiwin’ in Cree, embodies a holistic approach to health that integrates physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental dimension...

As technology continues to evolve, it’s reshaping the way we approach healthcare. From medical research to patient care, user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design are playing a pivotal role in creating tools that are practical, accessible, and centered on the real needs of people.UX/UI Design of Everyday Things: A Human-Centered Approach on Medical Research highlights the importance of thoughtful design in the medical field. This book explores how human-centered and preci...

As our global society wrestles with climate change, depletion of resources, and unsustainable practices, the need for sustainability becomes urgently necessary. Design has an integral part to play in shaping how we interact with the world; architecture, product development, fashion, or urban planning decisions all play their own unique part in making an impact on who we are as humans and society at large.Sustainability in design refers to creating products, environments, and system...

When Kevin Ferko meets Maria Gonzalez, hes hooked. He wasnt seeking a romance, but this young woman really bowls him over. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that pursuing this petite dark-haired beauty will not be easy because her domineering fatherwhos convinced the family business would fall apart without Mariahas no intention of letting his only daughter get hooked up with some man. So hes made it virtually impossible for her to have a relationship, in fact up to this point her love life...

A new edition of the leading textbook on the finite element method, incorporating major advancements and further applications in the field of electromagneticsThe finite element method (FEM) is a powerful simulation technique used to solve boundary-value problems in a variety of engineering circumstances. It has been widely used for analysis of electromagnetic fields in antennas, radar scattering, RF and microwave engineering, high-speed/high-frequency circuits, wir...

Reviews the fundamental concepts behind the theory and computation of electromagnetic fieldsThe book is divided in two parts. The first part covers both fundamental theories (such as vector analysis, Maxwell’s equations, boundary condition, and transmission line theory) and advanced topics (such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and fields in layered media) in order to benefit students at all levels. The second part of the book covers the major computation...

This book offers a complete and well-organized review of the latest advances made in developing ultra-weak chemiluminescence techniques for analytical applications. It systematically introduces the current theories, mechanisms, instruments, technologies, and real applications of ultra-weak chemiluminescence. Compared to books devoted to the normal chemiluminescence and bioluminescence, this book covers a wide range of ultra-weak chemiluminescence based on inorganic chemical reactions and n...

This volume will detail the current state and perspectives of autophagy-based cancer therapy. Covering a wide range of topics, it will include an overview of autophagy as a therapeutic target in cancer, autophagy modulators as cancer therapeutic agents, implications of micro-RNA-regulated autophagy in cancer therapy, modulation of autophagy through targeting PI3 kinase in cancer therapy, targeting autophagy in cancer stem cells, and roles of autophagy in cancer immunotherapy. In addition, ...

This book presents a detailed overview of the design, formatting, application, and development of microfluidic chips in the context of cell biology research, enumerating each element involved in microfluidics-based cell analysis, discussing its history, status quo, and future prospects, It also offers an extensive review of the research completed in the past decade, including numerous color figures. The individual chapters are based on the respective authors' studies and experiences, provi...

This book summarizes the various microfluidic-based approaches for single-cell capture, isolation, manipulation, culture and observation, lysis, and analysis. Single-cell analysis reveals the heterogeneities in morphology, functions, composition, and genetic performance of seemingly identical cells, and advances in single-cell analysis can overcome the difficulties arising due to cell heterogeneity in the diagnostics for a targeted model of disease. This book provides a detailed review of ...

A thought-provoking guide to facing global pandemics, climate change, and other modern crises with maturity, humility, and integrity—for fans of Everything Is F*cked and Against PurityThis book is not easy: it contains no quick-fix plan for a better, brighter tomorrow, and gives no ready-made answers. Instead, Vanessa Machado de Oliveira presents us with a challenge: to grow up, step up, and show up for ourselves, our communities, and the living E...
