Using the lens of the "commons" this book highlights the key development interests and challenges that members of ASEAN collectively recognize. Contributors to the collection discuss the ways in which the Plus Three arrangements that ASEAN has with China, Japan and South Korea address or complicate these three dimensions.

Breaking new ground by bringing together empirical work done in the vein of the emergent field of "digital religion" and larger social-theoretical discussions on secularism and modernity, this book investigates the powerful entanglement of religion and new media technologies.

Safer Cities in the Global South asks what happens when social theory, largely developed and tested in the Global North, meets the realities of life in the violent parts of cities in the Global South. This book is perfect for researchers, policy makers and students interested in exclusion and violence in the cities of developing countries.

This book assesses the varying interests of China and India in economics, environment, energy, and water and addresses the possibility of cooperation in these domains. Containing analyses by leading authorities on China and India, it analyses the nature of existing and emerging conflict, describes the extent of cooperation, and suggests possibilities for collaboration in the future. This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Asian Studies, International Relations, and Asian Politics.

Additive Combinatorics: A Menu of Research Problems is the first book of its kind in aims and scope: it provides readers with an opportunity to actively explore the relatively new field of additive combinatorics. The author has written it specifically for students of any background and proficiency level, from beginners to advanced researchers.

Social presence continues to emerge as a key factor for successful online and blended learning experiences. This volume addresses the evolution of social presence with three distinct perspectives, outlines the relevant research, and focuses on practical strategies that can immediately impact the teaching and learning experience.

Presents a compendium of engaged teaching approaches by faculty across disciplines. These inspiring authors offer models for instructors who care deeply about their students, respect and recognise students' social identities and lived experiences, and are interested in creating community and environments of openness and trust to foster deep-learning, academic success, and meaning-making.

Is the lecture an outmoded teaching method that inhibits active learning or is it a potentially powerful tool that is an essential part of every teacher's repertoire? This book presents up-to-date research on the different types of lecture, on what constitutes effective lecturing, and on the impact of lecturing when done appropriately and well.

Many institutions have adopted a maternal early warning system in order to identify women at risk of significant morbidity. Once a warning sign is identified, however, a quick response is indicated to keep the patient's condition from deteriorating. This book is a practical resource to help the medical professional address these situations.

Analytical Methods for Polymer Characterization presents a collection of methods for polymer analysis. Topics include chromatographic methods (gas chromatography, inverse gas chromatography, and pyrolysis gas chromatography), mass spectrometry, spectroscopic methods (ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance), thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry), microscopy methods (scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy), and x-ray diffraction. The author also discusses mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties.

The book presents information written by international experts in the field of Systems on Chip (SoC) Coupling, including substrate and interconnect magnetic crosstalk, 2D and 3D circuits noise coupling, and TSV and simulation. It enables the reader to analyze crosstalk noise propagating through the parasitics interconnect and package and the PCB.

This is the first book to offer an overview of the theory and practice of care planning in veterinary nursing, answering three key questions: What are nursing care plans? Why should nursing care plans be used in practice? How should nursing care plans be used in practice?

This is the second of a two-part set of books for the undergraduate linear algebra sequence. The text is for more advanced courses taught in mathematics departments. This course is based around matrix theory and focused on the theory of linear algebra. Along with the chapters found in Elementary Linear Algebra, he offers seven additional chapters .

The book discusses the fundamentals of SOFCs by covering ongoing research and challenges to be solved. It discusses current and future materials and offers an overview of development activities with a more general system approach toward fuel cell plant technology, including plant design and economics, industrial data and advances in technology.

Synthetic membranes are widely used for water purification and wastewater treatment. Development of membranes for water treatment has provided a method to produce potable water with much lower energy than thermal distillation. This book describes the basic principles that govern transport across both natural and synthetic membranes.

This book provides a detailed illustration of recent developments for the theory of the SG pseudo differential, dealing with the main aspects of global calculus of pseudo differential operators on Rn and on manifolds with conical /cylindrical ends. The book makes it easier for researchers in the field to learn more about the study of this topic.

Nanotechnology is increasingly used in the food industry in the production, processing, packaging, and preservation of foods. It is also used to enhance flavor and color, nutrient delivery, and bioavailability, and to improve food safety and in quality management. Nanotechnology Applications in the Food Industry is a comprehensive reference book containing exhaustive information on nanotechnology and the scope of its applications in the food industry. The book has five sections delving on all aspects of nanotechnology and its key role in food industry in the present scenario. Part I on Introduction to Nanotechnology in Food Sector covers the technological basis for its application in food industry and in agriculture. The use of nanosized foods and nanomaterials in food, the safety issues pertaining to its applications in foods and on market analysis and consumer perception of food nanotechnology has been discussed in the section. Part II on Nanotechnology in Food Packaging reviews the use of nanopolymers, nanocomposites and nanostructured coatings in food packaging. Part III on Nanosensors for Safe and Quality Foods provides an overview on nanotechnology in the development of biosensors for pathogen and food contaminant detections, and in sampling and food quality management. Part IV on Nanotechnology for Nutrient Delivery in Foods deals with the use of nanotechnology in foods for controlled and effective release of nutrients. Part V on Safety Assessment for Use of Nanomaterials in Food and Food Production deliberates on the benefits and risks associated with the extensive and long term applications of nanotechnology in food sector.
