Prehistoric Societies on the Northern Frontiers of China: Archaeological Perspectives on Identity Formation and Economic Change during the First Millennium ... (Approaches to Anthropological Archaeology) Gideon Shelach
 This book focuses on the formative period in pastoral-sedentary relations, the late second and early first millennium BCE, on today's northern borders of China. This area - known as the Northern Zone - emerged as a crucial arena for interactions among sedentary, semi-sedentary, and nomadic people during a decisive period in which the region's unique economic adaptations, socio-political systems, local cultures and identities took shape. It is also during this period that the real and symbolic chasm between the "Chinese" (or Zhou) states and their northern neighbors emerged, and when conscious attempts were made to define a broader, ethnic-like identity vis-a-vis the "other" way of life. Based on archaeological field work in the Chifeng area of Inner Mongolia and on data carefully collected from Chinese archaeological publications, as well as on anthropologically-derived theories and rigorous analytical methods, the book challenges common perceptions which were based mainly on the......

Geometric Integration Theory (Cornerstones) Steven G. Krantz, Harold R. Parks
 This textbook introduces geometric measure theory through the notion of currents. Currents, continuous linear functionals on spaces of differential forms, are a natural language in which to formulate types of extremal problems arising in geometry, and can be used to study generalized versions of the Plateau problem and related questions in geometric analysis. The text provides considerable background for the student and discusses techniques that are applicable to complex geometry, partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, and many other parts of mathematics. Topics include the deformation theorem, the area and coareas formulas, the compactness theorem, the slicing theorem and applications to minimal surfaces. Motivating key ideas with examples and figures, Geometric Integration Theory is a comprehensive introduction ideal for both use in the classroom and for self-study. The exposition demands minimal background, is self-contained and accessible, and......

Hereditary Gynecologic Cancer: Risk, Prevention and Management
 Currently, there is a critical need for gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, obstetricians, and gynecologists to integrate meaningful cancer screening and a prevention strategy into daily clinical practice. It is particularly necessary for physicians with patients who are predisposed to hereditary gynecologic cancer (HGC). Clinicians are increasingly confronted with serious issues, such as attempting to knowledgeably apply growing insights of the biology and genetics of cancer, effectively identify high-risk patients, and utilize screening and prevention techniques in their practice. Hereditary Gynecologic Cancer is a clinician-focused reference addressing the epidemiologic, biological, and clinical issues associated with HGC. Containing an overview of hereditary gynecological cancers, as well as in-depth information about Hereditary Breast Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, Lynch, and other syndromes with gynecologic cancer components, this is a one-stop source for all clinicians......

The Genus Macaranga: A Prodromus Tiimothy C Whitmore
 Macaranga is a genus in the family Euphorbiaceae. It comprises trees, treelets and some lianas, many of which are conspicuous large-leafed pioneers of disturbed habitats. Some species have ant associations. There are 257 species, of which 21 are newly described here. The genus is most diverse in South East Asia and New Guinea but also occurs in Africa and Madagascar (37 species), continental Asia (30 species), the Pacific Islands (24 species) and Australia (7 species). The species can be identified with the help of either regional keys or keys within informal species groups. Twenty-five species are illustrated....

Pine Wilt Disease
 Pine forests face a global threat of pine wilt disease, which is being spread by vector beetles carrying pathogenic nematodes from dead trees to healthy ones. Among the host pines there are varying degrees of susceptibility, and nematode strains also contin a variety of virulences, both of which factors help to determine whether infected host trees will die or survive. As well, biotic and abiotic environmental factors influence the fate of infected trees. This book describes the history of the disease, pahogenic nematodes, vector beetles, the etiology and ecology of the disease, microorganisms involved, and control methods that utilize host resistance and biological control agents. Concrete, comprehensive, and the most up-to-date knowledge about this worlwide forest epidemic is presented for readers, enabling them to understand the nature and epidemic threat of pine wilt disease....

One-Dimensional Nanostructures (Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology)
 One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, including nanowires, nanotubes and quantum wires, have been regarded as the most promising building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. Worldwide efforts in both the theory and the experimental investigation of growth, characterization and applications of 1D nanostructures have resulted in a mature, multidisciplinary field. In this book, a wealth of state-of-the-art information offers the opportunity to uncover the underlying science from diverse perspectives. Leading researchers elucidate the synthesis and properties of 1D nanostructures for various morphologies and compositions (semiconductor, metal, carbon, etc.) as well as their considerable impact on spintronics, information storage, and the design of field-effect transistors....

Ships' Graveyards: Abandoned Watercraft and the Archaeological Site Formation Process NATHAN RICHARDS
 "The conventional subject matter of maritime archaeology is usually thought to be 'shipwrecks,' which become archaeological sites through some kind of catastrophic event. Ships' Graveyards is highly significant because it furnishes convincing rationales fthe need to understand deliberate abandonment processes--those resulting from ship owners' decisions and behaviors. Clearly, this is a landmark study of a neglected topic that is likely to stimulate exciting research for decades to come."--Michael B. Schir, University of Arizona Ships' Graveyards is an explicitly theoretical study that avoids the single-site bias prevalent in most underwater archaeology research. It also eschews the traditional examination of shipwreck sites as the core component of stuin this field. Instead, Nathan Richards seeks to discover what we can learn by examining intentionally abandoned vessels and to determine what the differences are between cultural site formation processes and those created......

Statistical Mechanics and Molecular Simulations (Oxford Graduate Texts) Mark Tuckerman
 Complex systems that bridge the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science can be studied at an unprecedented level of detail using increasingly sophisticated theoretical methodology and high-speed computers. The aim of this book is to prepare burgeoning users and developers to become active participants in this exciting and rapidly advancing research area by uniting for the first time, in one monograph, the basic concepts of equilibrium and time-dependent statistical mechanics with the modern techniques used to solve the complex problems that arise in real-world applications. The book contains a detailed review of classical and quantum mechanics, in-depth discussions of the most commonly used ensembles simultaneously with modern computational techniques such as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo, and important topics including free-energy calculations, linear-response theory, harmonic baths and the generalized Langevin equation, critical phenomena,......
