Essays on the History and Culture of the Unknown Calabria
Calabria is one of the oldest civilised regions of Europe. In antiquity, the philosophy, science, literature and poetry of the Greek Pythagoreans flourished here; in the Middle Ages, the Norman Kingdom was the most cultured and opulent civilisation in the world. However, in modern times, Calabria has suffered from the almost complete neglect of its multi-facetted cultural legacy by dominant foreign ruling powers, declining into a third world region at the toe of the Italian peninsula. This book directs the attention of the world to those immense disregarded riches, through a collection of essays on the region’s history, arts and crafts, its philosophy and substantial intellectual legacy and especially its rejuvenation among the younger generations of today. Each of the 16 chapters was written by a scholar with unique experience in their field of research. They will be immensely useful for academics as well as students interested in Mediterranean culture.
Neurons: Methods and Applications for the Cell Biologist
Many cell biologists study the properties of cells grown outside of the animal, in the controlled environment of a culture dish. Many cell biologists would benefit from directing their attention to nerve cells, but are afraid to try growing nerve cells in culture because it has the reputation for being much more difficult and unreliable than growing other kinds of cells. This volume is written by cell biologists and neuroscientists who are experts at growing various kinds of neurons in culture and using them for diverse experimental applications. The aim of this volume is to demystify the techniques used to grow nerve cells and to show cell biologists that it is something that they can easily master. * Contains culture methodology for more than a dozen types of CNS and PNS neurons * Includes most recent and reliable techniques from expert practitioners for specific experimental applications * Addresses the latest strategies for transfecting neurons.
Neuronal Mechanics and Transport
Understanding the underlying mechanisms of how axons and dendrites develop is a fundamental problem in neuroscience and a main goal of research on nervous system development and regeneration. Previous studies have provided a tremendous amount of information on signaling and cytoskeletal proteins regulating axonal and dendritic growth and guidance. However, relatively little is known about the relative contribution and role of cytoskeletal dynamics, transport of organelles and cytoskeletal components, and force generation to axonal elongation. Advancing the knowledge of these biomechanical processes is critical to better understand the development of the nervous system, the pathological progr...
Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society
This book provides a thorough overview of cutting-edge research on electronics applications relevant to industry, the environment, and society at large. It covers a broad spectrum of application domains, from automotive to space and from health to security, while devoting special attention to the use of embedded devices and sensors for imaging, communication and control. The book is based on the 2015 ApplePies Conference, held in Rome, which brought together researchers and stakeholders to consider the most significant current trends in the field of applied electronics and to debate visions for the future. Areas addressed by the conference included information communication technology; biotechnology and biomedical imaging; space; secure, clean and efficient energy; the environment; and smart, green and integrated transport. As electronics technology continues to develop apace, constantly meeting previously unthinkable targets, further attention needs to be directed toward the electronics applications and the development of systems that facilitate human activities. This book, written by industrial and academic professionals, represents a valuable contribution in this endeavor.
