In order for L2 learners to communicate effectively in L2, not only must they comply with the L2 grammatical rules, they must also be able to accurately convey the focus and emphasis of a proposition in L2....

I used OPN-/- mice to evaluate osteopontin’s involvement in immune organ homeostasis in response to physical stress. Using the hindlimb unloading model, I compared OPN-/- mice with OPN+/+ mice subjected to HU for 3 days....

Simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography has received attention for chiral separations since early 1990s and is, today, considered as a cost-effective preparative-scale purification technology. In this book, development and verification of a design method for chiral SMB separation by both simulations and experiments are introduced....

This book presents the first study on the radiative relaxation mechanism of water between its different phases in order to explain an uncommon radiation phenomenon observed in the first-order phase-transition process of water....

Is real property appraisal evolving, or have all of the \"big ideas\" already been conceived? This question has been circulating among the leaders of the Appraisal Institute during the past several annual meetings, usually encountering little in the way ofsatisfying answers....

The second edition of this comprehensive, fully illustrated publication explains the basic measurement techniques, describes the commercially available instruments, and provides an overview of the current perception of 3-D topography analysis in the academic world and industry and the commonly used 3-D parameters, and plots for characterising and v...
