This book provides evidence-based guidance on thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy, equipping surgeons to perform all the latest procedures and get the best outcomes. The rapid development of three-dimensional computed tomographic images has made it possible to provide more refined individualized anatomic details and has consequently enabled advances in pulmonary subsegmentectomy. Atlas of Thoracoscopic Anatomical Pulmonary Subsegmentectomy provides an in-depth comprehensive overview and guidance on anatomical pulmonary subsegmentectomy from both theoretical and technical perspectives. The book is divided into two parts: Part I is dedicated to the theoretical background of surgery including surgical subsegmental anatomy, CT three-dimensional reconstruction of pulmonary structures, surgical techniques, and perioperative patient management. Part II presents more than 40 kinds of subsegmentectomies of the left and right lungs, both upper and lower lobes. This book is a valuable resource to thoracic surgeons and physicians interested in thoracic surgery and mini-invasive surgical approaches.

Die Entwicklung der Nanotechnologie und der energiebezogenen Technologien in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten hat zu einem verst rkten Interesse an der Anwendung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis in elektrochemischen Energiespeichern wie Superkondensatoren und Li/Na-Ionen-Batterien gef hrt. Die elektrochemische Leistung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis h ngt jedoch eng mit ihrer Struktur und ihren Herstellungsverfahren zusammen. Daher ist die Kontrolle der Mikro-Nanostruktur von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis und ein tiefes Verst ndnis der Beziehung zwischen ihrer elektrochemischen Leistung, Struktur und Herstellungsmethoden eine wesentliche Voraussetzung f r die Erweiterung der Anwendung dieser Materialien in elektrochemischen Energiespeichern. Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden berblick ber die Herstellung von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis, die strukturelle Kontrolle und die Optimierung ihrer elektrochemischen Leistung bei der Verwendung als negative Elektroden in Li/Na-Ionen-Batterien. Es soll als Leitfaden f r Forscher und Praktiker auf diesem Gebiet dienen und bietet sowohl theoretische als auch experimentelle Beweise f r die elektrochemischen Anwendungen von Materialien auf Kohlenstofffaserbasis.

The book comprehensively investigates the relationship between critical urban form and fabric parameters and urban microclimate in the high-rise urban environment that prevails in Asian megacities such as Shanghai. It helps readers gain a deeper understanding of climate-responsive urban design strategies and tactics for effectively mitigating the negative impacts of deteriorating urban thermal environments on pedestrian thermal comfort, outdoor air quality and building energy consumption. It also reviews the latest advances in urban climate research, with a focus on the challenges in terms of outdoor space comfort, health, and livability posed by the high-rise and high-density development in emerging Asian megacities, and proposes an integrated framework in response to the pressing need for microclimate research. It then presents a series of studies on high-rise residential and non-residential urban neighborhoods and districts based on instrumented field study, validated numerical simulation, and spatial analysis using a GIS platform. The book includes extensive, valuable experimental data presented in a clear and concise manner. The thermal atlas methodology based on empirical modeling and spatial analysis described is a useful climate-responsive design tool for both urban designer and architects. As such, the book is of particular interest to researchers, professionals, and graduate students in the fields of urban planning and design, building science and urban climatology.

Rate constants for reactions of 11 hydrochlorofluorocarbons and 12 hydrofluorocarbons were measured by means of the absolute rate method over the temperature range 250-430 K. OH radicals were generated by flash photolysis, laser photolysis, or a discharge flow methods; and the concentration of OH radicals was monitored by means of the laser-induced fluorescence technique. The fluorinated compounds were purified by gas chromatography; impurities remaining in the samples after purification were found to have no sizeable effect on the measured rate constants. The Arrhenius rate expressions were determined from the kinetic data obtained in this study as well as from available literature data. A method for estimating rates of reactions with OH radicals using an artificial neural network method was developed. An algorithm for a back-propagation method for determining optimised weights was developed for cases in which the reactivities of individual reaction sites of a molecule are not known. The ability of the neural network method to predict rate constants was evaluated by using the leave-one-out method. Rate constants for 94 compounds, including hydrocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorocarbons, and brominated compounds, were calculated within a factor of 2.
