Heat radiation at the nanoscale is a relatively young but flourishing research field, that has attracted much attention in the last decade. This is on the one hand due to the fact that this effect is nowadays experimentally accessible (Hu et al. (2008); Kittel et al (2005);Narayanaswamy et al. (2008); Ottens et al. (2011); Rousseau et al. (2009); Shen et al. (2009)), and on the other hand due t…

Radiation is energy that moves through space or matter at a very high speed. This energy can be in the form of particles, such as alpha or beta particles, which are emitted from radioactive materials, or waves such as light, heat, radiowaves, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. Radioactive materials, also known as radionuclides or radioisotopes, are atoms that are unstable. In nature, there is a…
Increase vehicle production for national consumption by 10%. Increase national content by 15% through the substitution of vehicle imports, by substituting imports of electronic components for vehicles, expanding aluminum auto parts production, and developing battery cell production for electric vehicles. Manufacture trains in Mexico and/or their components. Double dual education plans.
Radioactivity is a spontaneous process characteristic of atoms with unstable nuclei in which the nucleus releases energy either as a particle with kinetic energy or as electromagnetic energy. Upon release of this energy the nucleus may be stable or it may still be unstable and will acquire stability through an additional transformation(s). The original species prior to radioactive disintegrati…

Selalu ada saat ketika kita tidak sempat bertanya kepada sepasang kaki sendiri kenapa tidak mau berhenti sejak mengawali pengembaraan agar kita bisa memandang sekeliling dan bertahan semampu kita untuk tidak melepaskan aira mata menjelma sungai tempat berlayar tukang perahu yang mungkin saja bisa memberitahu kita, ke sana, saudara, ke sana. Selalu ada kapal yang mendadak bergoyang bahkan ketik…
Chinese leaders were determined to make the agreed deal work. They consulted widely. In the years leading up to 1997 I met with top leaders several times a year, both as a governor of the American Chamber of Commerce and—more often and more significantly—as chair of the Economic Committee of the Business and Professionals Federation, a group of top Hong Kong business leaders that had helped…
Thailand has transitioned from a lowincome to an upper-middle-income country in less than a generation. Over the past 20 years, the country has maintained high foreign reserves, low inflation, a sound banking system and a stable exchange rate. Combined with an openness to trade, financial flows, labour migration and investments in both human and physical capital, these advances have facilitate…

Gastronomy is the art or practice of selecting, cooking, and eating “good” food. Most food writers and expert chefs say that gastronomy is a term that indicates a form of respect for the art of preparing and serving food. Over time, some foods fall out of favor and, as a result, new foods are invented. The molecular gastronomy trend adds “science” to the art of selecting, preparing, ser…

Today we shall begin a new series of catecheses, on the theme of Christian hope. It is very important, because hope never disappoints. Optimism disappoints, but hope does not! We have such need, in these times which appear dark, in which we sometimes feel disoriented at the evil and violence which surrounds us, at the distress of so many of our brothers and sisters. We need hope! We feel d…
Most of this type are called liquid crystal polymer and have high mechanical strength, particularly, high rigidity even without filling materials because of their self reinforcing property (reinforcing effect similar to filling material derived from the liquid crystal molecular orientation). In addition, some of them have the highest heat resistance among all the thermoplastic resins. The mater…
Plastics, as we know them today, are synthetic, malleable polymers derived predominantly from petrochemicals. Plastic polymers are fascinating. They are incredibly versatile and useful in modern life, but what makes them so beneficial can also damage people and the environment when handled incorrectly. We must understand plastics to eliminate their harmful effects while we harness their strengt…
A first round of reviews was conducted over 2010-16.

The hot compact core of the Sun – where the energy is created – has a radius of about 175,000 km. Outside the core is a layer where the energy is transported by electromagnetic radiation or photons. This layer is called the radiation zone. Further out we find the convection zone where the energy is transported as a turbulent churning motion similar to a pot of boiling soup. The visible surf…
Globally, leopard is the most widely distributed and persecuted cat amongst large cat species like the tiger across much of its distribution range and with lion and clouded leopard in certain areas of its distribution range. Owing to its very high adaptability for surviving in varieties of habitats and opportunitistic feeding behavior, it is often found to be at the center of the human wildlife…
Thirty years ago, Kenneth Hudson, the grand old figure of the European museum world, said that there are chiefly two qualities that will be demanded of the museums in the future: pluralism of interest and the flexibility of imagination. Today, we cannot but admit that he was right. Even if the diversity of definitions of museum is bigger than ever, there is no doubt that modern museums want…
The internet is changing the way knowledge, in the broadest sense, is made and understood. It is a change from making knowledge predominantly in small groups via face-to-face interaction to making knowledge predominantly via remote interaction. We think this change, if it is too radical, could be disastrous for the long-term future of what we call ‘pluralist d…
Ancient Greece wasn't one big country like modern Greece is today. Instead, areas of land belonged to ‘city states’ (poleis), which all acted separately from the others. Sometimes they would make alliances with each other to fight enemies like the Persians — sometimes the Greek city states would fight each other.
The aim of this handbook is to provide guidance for trained anaesthetists working for the ICRC and to offer advice in areas where practice will differ from that in their home ountry. It is designed to supplement the practical training given in ICRC war-surgery seminars and to support the work of the ICRC in war surgery. Anaesthetists working in austere environments will generally be expected c…
These days few biologists would try to pin their religious faith, if they have any, on biological evidence, and the apparent design to which Paley referred would be attributed instead to the evolutionary mechanism which Charles Darwin called natural selection. Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is universally accepted among serious biologists (except for a …
The present book proposes a framework for understanding long-term change in world politics in terms of social evolution. ‘Change’deliberately includes the very emergence of world politics as arecognizable realm in its own right within the social world andits constant transformation thereafter. In order to provide such aframework, this book offers a condensed, yet quite far-reaching,reading …
In early May 1901, the colonial authorities in Kingstown, capital of the island of St Vincent, then a British colony in the Lesser Antilles, were taken by surprise by requests from the Carib populations living on the flanks of Mount La Soufrière to be removed to the south of the island. They were afraid of the increasing frequency of small earthquakes in the area. Stories had bee…

Most of the fresh foods contain large amounts of water. It is one of the major component in composition of many foods. Each food has its own characteristic amount of this component. Effect of water on structure, appearance and taste of foods as well as their susceptibility to spoilage depends on its amount, location, and orientation. Therefore, it is essential to know its physical properties…
A towered airport has an operating control tower. Air traffic control (ATC) is responsible for providing the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic at airports where the type of operations and/or volume of traffic requires such a service. Pilots operating from a towered airport are required to maintain two-way radio communication with air traffic controllers, and to acknowledge and …
Insofar as available statistics allow for any such comparisons, some estimates suggest that North Korea’s rapid post-war industrialisation put it ahead of South Korea by the mid-1960s (Eichengreen et al., 2015). During the next three decades, however, South Korea grew very rapidly, far outpacing North Korea, where trend growth declined and turned negative as Soviet support ended and the terms…
