Changes in the phenomenon of icon-painting in Romania from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day by Draghici-Vasilescu, N

“…Traditionally, in addition to their skills and artistic training, it is essential that iconographers should be deep believers, have a solid theological training, and live a very pure life. In Chapter 6 I present the answers of 27 Romanian contemporary iconographers to a 17 item questionnaire regarding the way in which they are trained and keep the canonical rules today, the techniques they use in painting and their own attitude towards their work.…”

Applications of classification of C*-algebras by Neagu, R-M

“…</p> <br> <p>In the last chapter, we use classification techniques involving the trace-kernel extension to show that the property that all amenable traces are quasidiagonal is invariant under homotopy for separable exact C^∗-algebras that have a faithful amenable trace.…”

Sorptive properties of microplastics extracted from cosmetics by Praveena, Sarva Mangala, Aris, Ahmad Zaharin

“…Wastewater is likely a major pathway for microplastics to enter the aquatic environment, be transported over long distances, persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in food webs, and endanger human health. This chapter provides an overview of microplastics extracted from cosmetics, their pathways to wastewater and the aquatic environment along with their pollutant sorption properties. …”

Developing frameworks for an equitable future: from building decarbonization to generative modeling. by De Simone, Zoe

“…However, financing deep retrofits for all U.S. homes exceeds available public funds. This chapter proposes a model that examines long-term carbon reduction trajectories under various incentive policies, focusing on fairness and equity. …”

Distributed In-Memory Computing on Binary Memristor-Crossbar for Machine Learning by Yu, Hao, Ni, Leibin, Huang, Hantao

“…However, the existing memristor-crossbar based computing is mainly assumed as a multi-level analog computing, whose result is sensitive to process non-uniformity as well as additional overhead from AD-conversion and I/O. In this chapter, we explore the matrix-vector multiplication accelerator on a binary memristor-crossbar with adaptive 1-bit-comparator based parallel conversion. …”

Biological characterization of RNA polymerase proteins from human 2009 pandemic H1N1 and low pathogenic avian H5N2 and H9N2 influenza viruses by Myaing, Myint Zu

“…In our gene reassortment study, a single reassortant bearing a human-origin PA or PB2 subunit against an avian polymerase background could overcome the host range barrier of avian polymerase in human 293T cells, indicating the PA or PB2 as a major determinant of species tropism and pathogenicity. …”

“British English is much more prestigious, everybody knows that!”: reproducing and resisting hegemonic language ideologies in Chilean English teacher education by Pérez Andrade, Gonzalo

“…This is particularly relevant for the English language teaching profession due to the large number of teachers who are non-native speakers of the language, since these ideologies have the power to influence ideas regarding (self-)efficacy, employability, and even discrimination (Holliday, 2015). The purpose of this chapter is to explore how teacher trainers at teacher education programmes in Chile conceptualise the English they speak, teach, and expect their students to acquire. …”

Co-optation of B Cell Developmental States in Malignancy and Autoimmunity by Ramseier, Michelle L.

“…We thus utilize B cell development and maturation as model systems to study how perturbations to cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic regulators can result in the pathologic emergence of aberrant developmental states enabling dysregulated survival and proliferation. In each chapter, we apply single-cell RNA-sequencing to define heterogeneous B cell developmental states in malignancy and autoimmunity, and uncover underlying signaling perturbations linked to their dysfunctional transcriptional regulation. …”
