The two-volume set LNCS 11944-11945 constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2019, held in Melbourne, Australia, in December 2019. The 73 full and 29 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 251 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on: Parallel and Distributed Architectures, Software Systems and Programming Models, Distributed and Parallel and Network-based Computing, Big Data and its Applications, Distributed and Parallel Algorithms, Applications of Distributed and Parallel Computing, Service Dependability and Security, IoT and CPS Computing, Performance Modelling and Evaluation.
Here is the first booklength study of the life and works of Wu Yun, one of the most remarkable figures of eighth-century Daoism. Blending literary criticism with religious and cultural history, this book assesses the importance of Wu Yun the Daoist priest, the poet, the anti-Buddhist, the defender of reclusion and the philosopher of immortality, and in doing so, sheds new light on the very nature of Tang dynasty Daoism. The book, which should be of special interest to students of Tang literature and Medieval Daoism alike, alternates narrative and analysis with annotated translations of two thirds of Wu Yun’s remaining writings, including two stela inscriptions, three prose treatises, four rhapsodies and several dozens of poems.
This thematic volume provides authoritative, up-to-date reviews pertaining to the epidemiology, public health significance and shifts therein, control (current activities, successes, setbacks), persisting challenges (e.g. sanitation, universal coverage of health services, health-related behavior) of the key parasitic diseases in Southeast Asia. The book also discusses the new tools and approaches for enhanced discovery and control of helminthic diseases. - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts
This two volume set (CCIS 1058 and 1059) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference of Pioneering Computer Scientists, Engineers and Educators, ICPCSEE 2019 held in Guilin, China, in September 2019. The 104 revised full papers presented in these two volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 395 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics related to basic theory and techniques for data science including data mining; data base; net work; security; machine learning; bioinformatics; natural language processing; software engineering; graphic images; system; education; application.
First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. Advances in Parasitology includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications. Eclectic volumes are supplemented by thematic volumes on various topics, including control of human parasitic diseases and global mapping of infectious diseases. The 2011 impact factor is 4.39. - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts
This book is part of a two-volume work that constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Life System Modeling and Simulation, LSMS 2007, held in Shanghai, China, September 2007. Coverage includes modeling and simulation of societies and collective behavior, computational methods and intelligence in biomechanical systems, tissue engineering and clinical bioengineering, computational intelligence in bioinformatics and biometrics, and brain stimulation.
Autophagy (“auto-digestion”), a lysosome-dependent process, degrades and turns over damaged or senescent organelles and proteins. Autophagy is a highly regulated process that impacts several vital cellular responses, including inflammation, cell death, energy metabolism, and homeostasis of organelles (mitochondria and others). Although the role of autophagy in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis is well documented, its role during tissue injury and regeneration is still emerging. In this Special Issue on “Autophagy in Tissue Injury and Homeostasis”, we focus on the roles of autophagy in systemic, specific tissue (organs/cells) injury or organ failure associated with sepsis, inflammation, metabolic disorder, toxic chemicals, ischemia-reperfusion injury, hypoxic oxidative stress, tissue fibrosis, trauma, and nutrient starvation. The knowledge gained from the identification and characterization of new molecular mechanisms will shed light on biomedical applications for tissue protection through the modulation of autophagy.
