The Mapping between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Signaling Molecules
The fundamental molecules in the human body are sodium, calcium, and potassium, while the vital substances of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are Qi, Yang Qi, and Yin Qi. This book identifies the mappings between 48 TCM vital substances and signaling molecules. TCM practitioners have proven successful in alleviating the symptoms of a wide range of conditions from arthritis to diabetes. By applying these mappings, this book thoroughly explores these claims and succinctly explains the molecular mechanism behind the practice. The communication and mutual support between eastern and western medicines would provide a thorough understanding of human physiology and enable more effective treatment of abnormal or disease states.
Green Infrastructure and Climate Change Adaptation
This open access book introduces the function, implementation and governance of green infrastructure in Japan and other countries where lands are geologically fragile and climatologically susceptible to climate change. It proposes green infrastructure as an adaptation strategy for climate change and biodiversity conservation. In the face of climate change, dams, levees and floodways built as disaster prevention facilities do not sufficiently function against extraordinary events such as mega-floods and tsunami disasters. To prevent those disasters and loss of biodiversity in various ecosystems, we should shift from conventional hard measures to more adaptive strategies using various function...
Advances in Sustainable Construction and Resource Management
This book comprises the proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies. The contents of this volume focus on issues related to natural and man-made disasters, and discuss solutions through the use of alternative resources, towards building a sustainable and resilient society from geotechnical perspectives. Some of the themes covered include recycled materials in geotechnical constructions, management and utilization of disaster wastes, climate change independent natural disasters, socio-economic and environmental aspects in sustainable construction, physical and numerical modelling of disaster mitigation techniques, etc. This book will be beneficial to researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers alike.
Climate Change Countermeasures in Ports Toward Carbon Neutrality
This book presents an in-depth examination of the challenges facing the port industry in reducing CO2 emissions. Through empirical studies and real-world data, it explores the energy consumption of cargo handling machinery and reefer containers, and introduces new technologies and methods for reducing emissions. With a focus on practical application, the book provides a valuable resource for port managers and stakeholders looking to implement effective climate change countermeasures. It also serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying ports and climate change.
Sustainable Geo-Technologies for Climate Change Adaptation
This edited volume is a compilation of peer-reviewed papers of the plenary lectures, keynote lectures, special lectures and young researcher’s special lectures delivered at the 1st International Symposium on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies (CREST 2020) organized by Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. The book focuses on sustainability, promotion of new ideas and innovations in design, construction and maintenance of geotechnical structures with the aim of contributing towards climate change adaptation and disaster resiliency to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It presents latest research, information, technological advancement, practical challenges encountered, and solutions adopted in the field of geotechnical engineering for sustainable infrastructure towards climate change adaptation. This volume will be of interest to those in academia and industry alike.
Salt in Eastern North America and the Caribbean
Case studies examining the archaeological record of an overlooked mineral Salt, once a highly prized trade commodity essential for human survival, is often overlooked in research because it is invisible in the archaeological record. Salt in Eastern North America and the Caribbean: History and Archaeology brings salt back into archaeology, showing that it was valued as a dietary additive, had curative powers, and was a substance of political power and religious significance for Native Americans. Major salines were embedded in collective memories and oral traditions for thousands of years as places where physical and spiritual needs could be met. Ethnohistoric documents for many Indian culture...
