The technological revolution presents a massive barrier to the development of countries that do not have access to the cutting-edge systems enjoyed in the developed world. Technology transfer presents a real solution. Technology transfer is shown here to be much more complicated than the mere hand-over of new technology hardware to developing countries: it is about innovation and learning. Effective management depends on generating new knowledge and being able to react quickly and to chang...

This book discusses dynamic modeling, simulation, and control strategies for Photovoltaic (PV) stand-alone systems during variation of environmental conditions. Moreover, the effectiveness of the implemented Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques and the employed control strategy are evaluated during variations of solar irradiance and cell temperature. The simulation results are based on the reliability of the MPPT techniques applied in extracting the maximum power from the PV syst...

This book develops and analyses computational wear simulations of the total ankle replacement for the stance phase of gait cycle. The emphasis is put on the relevant design parameters. The book presents a model consisting of three components; tibial, bearing and talar representing their physiological functions.

Adaptive Control (second edition) shows how a desired level of system performance can be maintained automatically and in real time, even when process or disturbance parameters are unknown and variable. It is a coherent exposition of the many aspects of this field, setting out the problems to be addressed and moving on to solutions, their practical significance and their application. Discrete-time aspects of adaptive control are emphasized to reflect the importance of digital computers in t...

This detailed volume explores the dynamic landscape of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) generation and applications. After a few chapters examining the evolution of PDXs, tracing their roots and contextualizing their significance in the broader narrative of cancer research, the book continues with methodologies for generating PDXs from diverse clinical tissue samples as well as for utilizing PDXs in various specific cancer types. From the development of humanized PDX models to the explorati...

This paper focuses on the withdrawal of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) in some jurisdictions post-global financial crisis. It describes existing evidence and consequences of the withdrawal of CBRs and explores drivers of this phenomenon drawing on recent surveys and select country information. While the withdrawal of CBRs has reached a critical level in some affected countries, which can have a systemic impact if unaddressed, macroeconomic consequences have not been identified so ...

Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a young boy named Peter. He had messy brown hair, sparkling green eyes, and a heart full of curiosity and adventure. Every night, Peter dreamed of magical lands and extraordinary creatures. One day, while exploring near his house, Peter stumbled upon an old, overgrown path that led him into an enchanted forest.

Aprovechamos el XV aniversario de la muerte de Mahfuz para presentar una serie de estudios rigurosos en torno a la traducción de su obra. Las tres primeras investigaciones versan sobre su trasvase al español. La primera analiza los culturemas. La segunda aborda la traducción automática. El análisis de una versión adaptada para el público infanto-juvenil de Cuentos para contar es el objeto de estudio de la tercera. En torno a las técnicas traslativas se centran el cuarto y el sexto capítulo...

Queremos aprovechar el XX aniversario de la muerte de Cela para rendirle un pequeño homenaje, presentando una serie de estudios rigurosos en torno a la traducción de su narrativa, considerada como la más relevante de la posguerra española. Siete capítulos integran este libro. El primero analiza el trasvase de las locuciones en dos versiones árabes de La colmena. El segundo aborda la traducción al inglés del realismo grotesco en Mazurca para dos muertos. El análisis de los...

Theory and Practice of Triple Helix Model in Developing Countries contributes to the expanding literature on "triple helix" innovation - focusing on developing countries. The book is based on practical cases and experiences from Africa, Latin America and Asia. Relevant experiences and best practices from developed countries are also examined.The book is presented as a response to the growing awareness about the need for policy shift from the traditional technology transfer...

Abiotic and biotic stress factors, including drought, salinity, waterlog, temperature extremes, mineral nutrients, heavy metals, plant diseases, nematodes, viruses, and diseases, adversely affect growth as well as yield of crop plants worldwide. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) are receiving increasing attention from agronomists and environmentalists as candidates to develop an effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural (e.g., chemical fer...
