"This book lays out the argument against the labelling of a skeleton found in Indonesia (the ''Hobbit'') a ''new species'' of human. Maciej Henneberg, international scientist and palaeo-anthropologist, writes of his reaction to the extraordinary claims of a ''new species'' find, his quick conclusion that the skeleton is not a new species, and his theory - along with other colleagues - that the skeleton is not only not a new species, but is that of a modern human with a growth disorder, and may only be around 40-50 years old. Based on studies of the teeth, Maciej Henneberg and other scientists believe the ''Hobbit'' may have had modern dental work."--Provided by publisher.

Focusing on the issue of power as the main building block of relationships between business buyers and sellers, this book explains the complex nature of power with its multidimensional and multi-directional character. As a complex construct, inter-firm power is treated as a matter of perception as well as in terms of total and relative power. The book analyses extensively the issue of power asymmetry with its dynamics and its consequences for business-to-business (B2B) relationships, particularly analyzing the dynamic mechanism of power. Various theoretical domains or research streams regarding managing an asymmetrical business relationship by the weaker partner are also examined. Based on the studies of other scholars as well as on the authors'' own research, this book shows how weaker suppliers or buyers deal with high-power partners in business relationships and the approaches of more powerful parties to asymmetrical relationship development. Additionally, the book presents the specific nature of power in international B2B relationships, including its connection to culture and conflict, as well as how to handle power in managing export performance within international B2B relationships. It is written for scholars and students who are interested in academic research concerning B2B marketing and B2B relationship marketing domains, specifically those who are interested in literature dealing with supply chain management, key account management, relationship portfolio management, distribution channel management and the network approach.

Resheph was quite a popular god in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC - especially in Syria - but during the 1st millennium his cult became extinct. Finally it was only maintained in several peripheral and isolated sites, such as in the Palmyra desert and in Cyprus. Maciej M. Munnich presents the written sources which mentioned Resheph and analyzes the features of Resheph''s cult. He emphasizes that there is no confirmation for the theory that Resheph was a lord of the netherworld. Resheph was a belligerent, aggressive god who used diseases to attack people, but who could also heal. Because of the long period of the cult and the geographical range, one can notice some local features: In Egypt, for instance, Resheph originally was venerated as the deity supporting the Pharaoh in battles, but then he was summoned mainly because of illness and everyday needs.

This book presents computationally efficient MPC solutions. The classical model predictive control (MPC) approach to control dynamical systems described by the Wiener model uses an inverse static block to cancel the influence of process nonlinearity. Unfortunately, the model''s structure is limited, and it gives poor control quality in the case of an imperfect model and disturbances. An alternative is to use the computationally demanding MPC scheme with on-line nonlinear optimisation repeated at each sampling instant. A linear approximation of the Wiener model or the predicted trajectory is found on-line. As a result, quadratic optimisation tasks are obtained. Furthermore, parameterisation using Laguerre functions is possible to reduce the number of decision variables. Simulation results for ten benchmark processes show that the discussed MPC algorithms lead to excellent control quality. For a neutralisation reactor and a fuel cell, essential advantages of neural Wiener models are demonstrated.

The physics of strongly interacting many-body systems known as nuclear physics is a mature discipline which has achieved a remarkably quantitative success. It has explained with an impressive accuracy the properties of nuclei from the deuteron to heavy nuclei containing several hundreds of nucleons. This is the more remarkable when one realizes that in no way did the success depend on the existence of, or knowledge derived from, the fundamental theory of strong interactions now believed to be quantum chromodynamics (QCD).This monograph is a first, albeit embryonic, attempt to explain how a nucleus can be understood without invoking the explicit degrees of freedom of quarks and gluons while still staying within the basic premise of QCD and furthermore why do quark-gluon signatures not show up prominently in nuclear processes, including those processes involving short-distance encounters within nuclei. Such an understanding is largely based on the modern concepts of broken chiral symmetry and is believed to be essential in uncovering new physics expected to figure in the hadronic environment under extreme conditions of high temperature and/or high density.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant, used in various fields of industry, such as paper manufacturing, production of polymers, detergents, and cosmetics. Considering that the molecule degrades only to H2O and O2, it is regarded as a green chemical. Unfortunately, the incumbent method of H2O2 synthesis, based on anthraquinone oxidation, although efficient, is not environmentally friendly, as it requires fossil fuels and significant energy input. Therefore, there are efforts underway to reduce the ecological impact of hydrogen peroxide production. Some of the most promising approaches involve catalytic reduction of O2 to H2O2 in an aqueous environment. This can be coupled with water oxidation. As the required energy could be delivered in different ways, hydrogen peroxide synthesis can be achieved by electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, or photocatalysis. This thesis explores the possibility of using organic electronic materials as catalysts for H2O2 evolution in oxygenated water solutions. Organic electronics is a field of materials science focused on conducting and semiconducting organic molecules. These materials offer many possible advantages, related to low cost, flexibility, and good optoelectronic properties. Huge progress in the field over the last years led to their commercial applications in e.g. organic light emitting diodes and photovoltaics. Only very recently have organic electronics begun to be considered from the point of view of catalysis. In the first two papers, we investigate electrocatalytic activity of an organic pigment (PTCDI) and a conducting polymer (PEDOT) towards oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide. Both types of catalysts are chemically stable and able to operate in a wide pH range. In paper 3, we demonstrate that H2O2-evolving photocathodes can be based on an organic PN heterojunction, giving devices of a record-breaking performance. In the first part of paper 4, the same concept was tested for a naturally-occurring semiconductor, eumelanin, leading to a first report of photoelectrocatalytic properties of this material. In the second part of paper 4, as well as in papers 5 and 6, we explore, respectively, photochemical hydrogen peroxide synthesis with eumelanin, organic semiconductors, and organic dyes. We show that the photostability of catalysts is higher for materials with low-lying HOMO level and it can be increased by an addition of a reducing agent to the reaction system. Our findings prove that already existing organic electronic materials can be successfully applied in H2O2 evolution for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis, suggesting their use in harvesting of solar energy and in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide for biomedical applications. Väteperoxid (H2O2) är en viktig oxidant som används inom olika industrier, såsom papperstillverkning och produktion av polymerer, tvättmedel och kosmetika. Med tanke på att molekylen bryts ner till vatten (H2O) och syre (O2) betraktas den som en grön kemikalie. Tyvärr är den befintliga metoden för framställning av H2O2 baserad på oxidation av en antrakinon, en metod som är effektiv, men inte miljövänlig eftersom den kräver fossila bränslen och betydande energitillförsel. Det pågår därför ansträngningar för att minska den ekologiska effekten av väteperoxidproduktionen. Några av de mest lovande metoderna involverar katalytisk O2 till H2O2-reduktion i vattenlösning, kombinerat med vattenoxidation. Eftersom den nödvändiga energin kan levereras på olika sätt kan väteperoxidsyntesen uppnås genom elektrokatalys, fotoelektrokatalys eller fotokatalys. Denna avhandling undersöker möjligheten att använda organiska elektroniska material som katalysatorer för framställning av H2O2i syresatta vattenlösningar. Organisk elektronik är ett område inom materialvetenskap med fokus på ledande och halvledande organiska molekyler. Dessa material erbjuder många fördelar, såsom låg kostnad, flexibilitet och goda optoelektroniska egenskaper. Enorma framsteg på området har under de senaste åren lett till deras kommersiella tillämpningar i till exempel organiska ljusemitterande dioder och fotovoltaik. Nyligen har också organisk elektronik börjat övervägas ur katalysens synvinkel. I de två första artiklarna undersöker vi en elektrokatalytisk aktivitet av ett organiskt pigment (PTCDI) och en ledande polymer (PEDOT) i respekt till syrereduktion och väteperoxidproduktion. Båda typerna av katalysatorer är kemiskt stabila och kan arbeta inom ett brett pH-område. I artikel 3 visar vi att H2O2-producerande fotokatoder kan baseras på en organisk PN-gränsyta, vilket ger enheter med en rekordbrytande kapacitet. I den första delen av artikel 4 testades samma koncept för en naturligt förekommande halvledare, eumelanin, vilket ledde till en första rapport om fotoelektrokatalytiska egenskaper hos detta material. I den andra delen av artikel 4, samt i artikel 5 och 6, undersöker vi fotokemisk väteperoxidsyntes med eumelanin, organiska halvledare och organiska färgämnen. Vi visar att fotostabiliteten hos katalysatorer är högre för material med lågt liggande HOMO-nivå och att den kan ökas genom en tillsats av ett reduktionsmedel till reaktionssystemet. Våra fynd visar att redan befintliga organiska elektroniska material framgångsrikt kan tillämpas i H2O2-utvecklingen för miljövänlig kemisk syntes, vilket antyder att de kan användas för att ta tillvara på solenergi och för produktion av väteperoxid inom biomedicin.

This open access book investigates the complexity and the modalities of securitization of migration and border control at the EU level. It discusses and compares how different EU institutions and agencies have been deploying different logics of security, e.g. humanitarianism or management of risk, while framing increased migratory flows and so called migration crisis as a security problem. The book argues that the (re)development of EU migration and border control policies in response to increased migratory flows of 2015 have revealed an increasingly tangled nature of securitization of migration in the EU. This is reflected in the intertwining of security logics where migrants and human mobility tend to be securitized through different, sometimes multiple, interpretative lenses at different stages of policy framing. From a theoretical point of view, the book develops a fresh analytical perspective that further contributes to burgeoning discussion on securitization theory. By bridging the literature on policy framing and securitization it makes a significant contribution to the debates on both securitization and migration. As such this book is of great interest to students, academics, policy makers and all those working in the fields of EU politics, migration, security, and international relations.

Addresses the very topical, crucial and original subject of parameter identification and optimization within multiscale modeling methods Multiscale Modelling and Optimization of Materials and Structures presents an important and challenging area of research that enables the design of new materials and structures with better quality, strength and performance parameters as well as the creation of reliable models that take into account structural, material and topological properties at different scales. The authors’ approach is four-fold; 1) the basic principles of micro and nano scale modeling techniques; 2) the connection of micro and/or nano scale models with macro simulation software; 3) optimization development in the framework of multiscale engineering and the solution of identification problems; 4) the computer science techniques used in this model and advice for scientists interested in developing their own models and software for multiscale analysis and optimization. The authors present several approaches such as the bridging and homogenization methods, as well as the general formulation of complex optimization and identification problems in multiscale modelling. They apply global optimization algorithms based on robust bioinspired algorithms, proposing parallel and multi-subpopulation approaches in order to speed-up computations, and discuss several numerical examples of multiscale modeling, optimization and identification of composite and functionally graded engineering materials and bone tissues.

This book is an excellent, comprehensive introduction to semiclassical analysis. I believe it will become a standard reference for the subject. —Alejandro Uribe, University of Michigan Semiclassical analysis provides PDE techniques based on the classical-quantum (particle-wave) correspondence. These techniques include such well-known tools as geometric optics and the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation. Examples of problems studied in this subject are high energy eigenvalue asymptotics and effective dynamics for solutions of evolution equations. From the mathematical point of view, semiclassical analysis is a branch of microlocal analysis which, broadly speaking, applies harmonic analysis and symplectic geometry to the study of linear and nonlinear PDE. The book is intended to be a graduate level text introducing readers to semiclassical and microlocal methods in PDE. It is augmented in later chapters with many specialized advanced topics which provide a link to current research literature.

This book explores the physics of atoms frozen to ultralow temperatures and trapped in periodic light structures. It introduces the reader to the spectacular progress achieved on the field of ultracold gases and describes present and future challenges in condensed matter physics, high energy physics, and quantum computation.
