Sorting and Recycling Endosomes provides the latest information on endosomes, the receiving compartment for endocytosed cargos, and the donor compartment and sorting station for cargos designated to lysosomes, Golgi, or plasma membrane. In recent years, the importance of endosomes as a sorting and recycling compartment has become increasingly appreciated. As such, scientists from various fields of cell biology, membrane traffic, and beyond, see the needs to communicate and learn about the ...

"Wei’s writing is wonderfully evocative, and her recipes capture the balance, generosity and seasonality that lie at the heart of Chinese home cooking." Helen Goh"Wei's cookbook is one of generational stewardship, of recipes handed down with care, a connective thread to bring us closer to our ancestors and our children through flavours and shared moments.“ Michael ZeeThis is a wonderful book for anyone who want...

This book presents models that capture the nonlinear response of piles subjected to lateral forces. Utilising a consistent approach encompassing new mathematical models, it offers solutions presented as closed-form expressions and underpinned by the same set of 3-5 measurable soil-input parameters. These focus on nonlinear response of mono piles, anchored piles, pile groups, and torsional piles, as well as passive piles subjected to soil movement induced in shearing, sliding slopes or exca...

Pile Foundations are an essential basis for many structures. It is vital that they be designed with the utmost reliability, because the cost of failure is potentially huge. Covering a whole range of design issues relating to pile design, this book presents economical and efficient design solutions and demonstrates them using real world examples. Co

Time is a scarce resource that is often overlooked in business and personal life. Despite its limited availability, time can be effectively managed through careful planning and prioritization. By understanding the importance of time management, individuals and especially organizations can improve their productivity, efficiency, and overall success. Based on the author’s direct experience of creating and building what is now a 20, 000-employee company, this book examines the crucial role ti...

High-speed Railway Train–Track–Bridge Systems: A Seismic Safety Technology Framework systematically constructs a seismic safety technology framework for high-speed railways, focusing on three key dimensions: catastrophe simulation innovation, in-depth mechanism revelation, and the implementation of prevention technologies. The book transcends the traditional limitation of modeling tracks as inertial masses by establishing, for the first time, a seismic failure model of railway tracks. For ...

The digital age represents a profound shift, building upon the industrial age's foundations of technological breakthroughs like the steam engine, electricity, and computers. Just as the industrial revolution transformed production and societies, the digital revolution driven by the internet, data, AI, cloud computing and emerging technologies is spawning a new virtual realm that integrates with and redefines the physical world. This transition brings upheaval but also possibilities to crea...

This book of the conference proceedings focuses on innovative design, technology and methods in the fields of building, civil engineering and smart city. It contains a large number of detailed design, construction and performance analysis charts, benefited to students, teachers, research scholars and other professionals in related fields. As well, readers will encounter new ideas for realizing more safe, intelligent and economical buildings.

This book aims to provide comprehensive and systematic introduction and summary of corrosion characteristics, mechanisms, and control methods of candidate alloys in sub- and supercritical water environment. First of all, corrosion types of candidate alloys and the effects of major alloying elements on corrosion resistance of potential alloys in sub- and supercritical water are compared and analyzed. At the same time, research status of candidate materials, and development and application t...

This pivot focuses on “the concept of edification” in a bid to systematically expound its connotative structure and logical evolution. It is divided into ten chapters, embracing various issues, such as human nature as the foundation of edification, the development of edification and cultivation, the evolution of edification and the resultant life based on ritual and music, the political orientation and ultimate care of edification, and the nurturing of social edification, in an effort to o...

Transaction processing is fundamental for many modern applications. These applications require the backend transaction processing engines to be available at all times as well as provide a massive horizontal scale for intensive transaction requests.Concurrency Control and Recovery features recent progress in research in online transaction processing. The book also showcases the authors' research on a highly scalable OLTP system. Its contents include the designs of an efficient multiple vers...

This book introduces the current state of surgical treatment in this particular location-sacrum and pelvis, presenting progress and innovation, describing in detail the related procedures. The book comprises three main parts, pelvic, sacral and typical cases. In each part, chapters are organized in a parallel fashion, with general considerations, surgical approaches and commonly used procedures. This helps to illustrate and detail the surgical techniques involved. This book is valuable for...
