Across the Ussuri Kray: Travels in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains

In Russia's Far East sits the wild Ussuri Kray, a region known for its remote highlands and rugged mountain passes where tigers and bears roam the cliffs, and salmon and lenok navigate the rivers. In this collection of travel writing by famed Russian explorer and naturalist Vladimir K. Arsenyev (1872-1930), readers are shuttled back to the turn of the 20th century when the Russian Empire was reeling from its defeat in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and vulnerable to its Far Eastern neighbors. What began as an expedition to survey the region's infrastructure for the Russian military turned into an adventure through a territory rich in ethnic and ecological diversity. Encountering the disappearing indigenous cultures of the Nanai and Udege, engaging the help of Korean farmers and Chinese hunters, and witnessing the beginning of indomitable Russian settlement, Arsenyev documents the lives and customs of the region's inhabitants and their surroundings. Originally written as "a popular scientific description of the Kray," this unabridged edition includes photographs largely unseen for nearly a century and is annotated by Jonathan C. Slaght, a biologist working in the same forests Arsenyev explored. Across the Ussuri Kray is a classic of northeast Asian cultural and natural history.

Adaptive On- and Off-Earth Environments (Springer Series in Adaptive Environments)

This volume investigates the challenges and opportunities for designing, manufacturing and operating off-Earth infrastructures in order to establish adaptive human habitats. The adaptive aspects are considered with respect to the development of adequate infrastructures designed to support human activities. Given the limitations in bringing materials from Earth, utilisation of in-situ resources is crucial for establishing and maintaining these infrastructures.Adaptive on-and off-Earth Environments focuses, among other aspects, on the design, production, and operation processes required to build and maintain such off-Earth infrastructures, while heavily relying on In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU). Such design, production, and operation processes integrate cyber-physical approaches developed and tested on Earth. The challenge is to adapt on-Earth approaches to off-Earth applications aiming at technology advancement and ultimately transfer from on- to off-Earth research. Thischallenge is addressed with contributions from various disciplines ranging from power generation to architecture, construction, and materials engineering involving ISRU for manufacturing processes. All chapters, related to these disciplines, are structured with an emphasis on computing and adaptivity of on-Earth technology to off-Earth applications and vice versa to serve society at large.

The Addiction Spectrum: A Compassionate, Holistic Approach to Recovery

"If anyone you know is struggling with addiction—or if you think you might have a problem—you want to read this book.”—GARTH STEIN, bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain"a proven, comprehensive program that compassionately guides the reader to a place of resolution"—DAVID PERLMUTTER, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain, and, Brain Maker "a massive achievement and a giant step forward for addiction medicine"—ANNIE GRACE, author of This Naked Mind Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under fifty. Even as opiate addiction skyrockets, more people than ever before are hooked on alcohol, sedatives, cigarettes, and even screens. The face and prevalence of addiction has changed and evolved, but our solutions to addiction are stuck in the past. We’ve been treating addiction as a black or white issue, a disease you either suffer from or will never suffer from. The problem with this model is that it doesn’t account for the incredible forces working against all of us, pushing all of us toward addiction: stress, undernourishment, sleep-deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, and isolation, not to mention a flawed medical system and corrupt pharmaceutical companies doling out prescriptions at every turn.The truth: Addiction is a disease that, like many others, exists on a spectrum. We are more vulnerable to becoming addicted to substances at certain points in our lives and based on the evidence provided in The Addiction Spectrum, most effective at kicking addiction when we take a holistic approach. With the help of the 13-point plan and individual protocols detailed in this book, you have the power to change your destiny. No one understands this more than Dr. Paul Thomas, who recovered from alcohol addiction early in his career and founded one of the most effective rehabilitation centers for teens and young adults in his hometown of Portland, OR. Named one of the top family doctors and one of the top pediatricians in the country, Dr. Paul is also board-certified in both integrative medicine and addiction medicine. This unique combination of specialties is intentional: Dr. Paul has devoted his entire life and career to saving lives.Using the best conventional medicine alongside the new science of alternative health, Dr. Paul has treated thousands of patients with the life-saving solutions provided in The Addiction Spectrum. Addiction is a compendium of often devastating circumstances that have gone unchecked by society for far too long. This book is a positive light and guide to overcoming not only addiction but the challenges and obstacles that affect us all.

Additive Fertigung für Chemiewissenschaften und Chemieingenieurwesen

Dieses Buch ist speziell für Forscher sowie Lehrende konzipiert, die einen Fortgeschrittenen-Fertigungs-Kurs in ihren Klassen unterrichten oder einführen. Es präsentiert den aktuellen Forschungsstand in diesem Forschungsbereich und die bisher identifizierten Hauptprobleme für die Integration der additiven Fertigung in chemische Prozesse. Die einzigartige Fähigkeit, Materialien mithilfe aufkommender additiver Fertigungstechnologien in funktionale Bauteile mit spezifischer Geometrie zu verwandeln, hat in Biologie, Ingenieurwissenschaften und Materialwissenschaften erhebliches Interesse geweckt, um maßgeschneiderte Designs für spezifische Anwendungen zu erstellen. Die Anwendungen dieses aufstrebenden Fertigungsverfahren im Bereich der chemischen Wissenschaften und des Ingenieurwesens sind im Anfangssdtadium. Daher liegt der Hauptfokus dieses Buches darauf, die grundlegenden Prinzipien der additiven Fertigungsverfahren sowie den Einsatz in konventionelle chemische Prozesse und verschiedeneVerfahrenstechniken einzuführen. Der potenzielle Vorteil der Anwendung dieser additiven Fertigungstechnologien besteht darin, großtechnisch chemische Prozesse herunterzuskalieren, was mehrere Vorteile bietet, darunter eine geringere Flächenbedarf, Abfallreduktion, effiziente Wärmeintegration und dezentrale chemische Fertigung. Was ist Additive Fertigung? Additive Fertigung (engl.: additive manufacturing, AM) – weitgehend auch als 3D-Druck bezeichnet – ist ein aufstrebendes und innovatives Fertigungsverfahren, das sich grundlegend von konventionellen Herstellungsprozessen unterscheidet und der Forschung und Industrie zu völlig neuen Möglichkeiten verhilft. Bauteile werden Schicht für Schicht aufgebaut und entstehen nicht wie bei herkömmlichen Verfahren durch Abtrag von Material (zum Beispiel durch fräsende Bearbeitung). Dadurch ergibt sich eine enorme Flexibilität und Designfreiheit beispielsweise bei der Herstellung von Prototypen und auch zunehmend in der Serienfertigung. Die Zukunft der additiven Fertigung Die additive Fertigung zählt zu den starken Wachstumsfeldern innerhalb der Produktion. Führende Marktberichte sagen ein durchschnittliches jährliches Wachstum von ca. 20 Prozent für die nächsten fünf Jahre voraus. Das Fraunhofer IGCV geht dabei davon aus, dass dieses Branchenwachstum der additiven Fertigung nicht nur in einem spezifischen Industriezweig zu beobachten sein wird. Vielmehr ist davon auszugehen, dass in allen Industriezweigen der Einsatz additiver Fertigungsverfahren zunehmen wird. Im Jahr 2022 wurden zur Zukunft der additiven Fertigung zwei Studien (An Additive Manufacturing Breakthrough & The Futures of Metal Additive Manufacturing 2030) veröffentlicht, bei denen das Fraunhofer IGCV Zuarbeiten geleistet hat.
