Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Two trends come together in the world’s cities to make urban sustainability a critical issue today. First greater and greater numbers of people are living in urban areas—and are projected to do so for the foreseeable future. Additionally cities contribute to climate change in a significant way and must make systemic changes to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. Urban planners face serious challenges in enhancing sustainability but also have an important set of tools available for creating innovative solutions. This book adds to the conversation about the place of urban planning in the creation and maintenance of sustainable cities. | Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Synopsis of Sleep Medicine

Synopsis of Sleep Medicine

Sleep medicine encompasses an unusually board spectrum of contributions from biology technology and medicine. This volume summarizes the considerable mass of knowledge that has been accumulated in the field and imparts its major findings in a manner that is comprehensive yet not overwhelming. Edited by an eminent sleep researcher and with contributions from leading experts in the field the volume provides a basic grounding in sleep medicine and covers the fascinating complexity of the field. It separates figure from ground for those who are newcomers to the field and who are seeking guideposts for further research. Sleep problems are frequently co-morbid with other medical conditions and clinicians need to be alert to this interconnectedness and to recognize which difficulties are primary and which are not. Synoposis of Sleep Medicine will be a valuable tool for clinicians in many specialties for addressing diagnostic problems in sleep medicine. The volume is the first of its kind rich yet comprehensive and focused and one that is sure to meet the needs of both basic and clinical research for some years to come. | Synopsis of Sleep Medicine

Advances in Invertebrate (Neuro)Endocrinology A Collection of Reviews in the Post-Genomic Era Volume 1: Phyla Other Than Anthropoda

Advances in Invertebrate (Neuro)Endocrinology A Collection of Reviews in the Post-Genomic Era Volume 1: Phyla Other Than Anthropoda

Advances in Invertebrate (Neuro)Endocrinology: A Collection of Reviews in the Post-Genomic Era (2-volume set) provides an informative series of reviews from expert scientists who are at the forefront of their research into the endocrinology of invertebrates. These two volumes are timely and appropriate in this post-genomic era because of the rapid pace of change brought about by genome projects functional genomics and genetics (omics technologies). The volume shows the rich history and strong tradition of cutting-edge research using invertebrates that has opened up our broader understanding of comparative endocrinology and the evolution of regulatory pathways and systems. These reviews set the scene and context for this exciting new era of understanding that has come from this post-genomic revolution. This book undertakes the daunting task of covering most of the diverse endocrine systems that exist among invertebrates. The papers in this book will advance our knowledge of invertebrate endocrinology but also of endocrinology in general making the book will be valuable to researchers and students. | Advances in Invertebrate (Neuro)Endocrinology A Collection of Reviews in the Post-Genomic Era Volume 1: Phyla Other Than Anthropoda

Intelligent Sensor Node-Based Systems Applications in Engineering and Science

Intelligent Sensor Node-Based Systems Applications in Engineering and Science

This new volume covers the fusion of IoT and wireless communication technology for real-life applications. It discusses the current developments trends and latest usage of technology in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and IoT which offer improvement in many areas including in enabling smart homes in agricultural systems for security systems for university monitoring systems and more. The volume also provides a theoretical analysis and discussion of the factors influencing smart sensing exploring the state-of-the-art IoT elements that are designed to be analogous to WSNs. It looks at advancements in IoT systems along with a two-way usage with wireless sensor networks that span the gap between the physical and virtual worlds leading to a hyperconnected society where devices are not only used to exchange data but also are smart devices with more capabilities. The chapters reveal how these technologies are used in smart homes for intelligent sensor-based cognitive radio networks for different techniques for data fusion for the synthesis and fabrication of nanosensor devices for monitoring agricultural nutrient levels and more. Furthermore the fake user problems in WSNs are also investigated with a note on the current trends and the newer trends to come in near future. | Intelligent Sensor Node-Based Systems Applications in Engineering and Science

Effective School Librarianship Successful Professional Practices from Librarians around the World: (2-volume set)

Effective School Librarianship Successful Professional Practices from Librarians around the World: (2-volume set)

These volumes provide a series of informative interviews with school/teacher librarians practicing in different parts of the world. The 2-volume set showcases the resilience creativity and best practices from successful school librarians from Europe Asia Africa Australia and North and South America. The librarians interviewed come from all different schools and schools systems from a tiny recently built school library in a rural village in Africa to an ultra-modern library in Sweden. Featuring 37 interviews with successful school librarians from across the globe the volumes let us hear the stories from countries around the world. They tell about their creative and innovative school library projects their unconventional reading programs and their best practices and experiences in addressing the challenges of supporting basic literacy. A wide selection of methodologies and approaches are discussed offering a global “voyage” through topics important in school librarianship. The 2-volume set also addresses recent advancements in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the shift toward inquiry-based learning that impacts school libraries worldwide. The books are packed with information that can be used by school librarians teachers school administrators and others in a variety of ways. Readers can borrow best practices from the experiences presented in the book and the volumes can also serve as a strong voice for practicing school librarians and the profession through expanding the opportunities for professional sharing in the international school library community. | Effective School Librarianship Successful Professional Practices from Librarians around the World: (2-volume set)
