This book compiles the groundbreaking research conducted by the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 871, centered around the "Regeneration of Complex Capital Goods." This comprehensive work unveils an array of innovative methods developed through CRC 871, designed to revitalize and enhance the functional attributes of these critical assets. From non-destructive characterization of heavily stressed turbine components to the dynamic behavior of regenerated structural elements, each chapter offers a meticulous exploration of diverse facets in the field. The book also addresses the crucial consideration of variability in repair processes and material properties, as well as the comprehensive control of regeneration processes. With insights into simulation-based process design, fast measurement techniques, and resilience-based decision criteria, this volume provides a comprehensive view of the cutting-edge approaches employed. Moreover, readers will find a detailed process chain for condition-based regeneration, offering a practical framework for implementation. Finally, the book sheds light on the importance of targeted public relations in disseminating the invaluable research carried out by Collaborative Research Center 871. This extensive compilation not only showcases the scientific rigor behind maintaining complex capital goods but also demonstrates the collaborative efforts that brought together experts from various fields to push the boundaries of regeneration technology.

The Interpreters Ritual, Violence, and Social Regeneration in the Writing of Wole Soyinka


Free Download Hakeem Bello, "The Interpreters: Ritual, Violence, and Social Regeneration in the Writing of Wole Soyinka"
English | ISBN: 9789181957 | 2014 | 178 pages | PDF | 20 MB
A concern for social regeneration stands as the factor that animates Soyinka’s life-long involvement in social and political activism, leading to hid incarceration for two years during the civil war, and his having to flee into exile during the period of Sani Abacha’s dictatorship. Soyinka expresses this same concern for social regeneration in his writings, using difference metaphors. The focus of this work lies in the exploration of the articulations of social regeneration in the works of Wole Soyinka. The first past focuses on the dramatic works, and the argument of the author is that the metaphor adopted by Africa’s foremost playwright in articulating his vision of social regeneration is that of ritual. Attention shifts in part two to Soyinka’s two novels; and here, Bello goes to the roots of Yoruba metaphysics to fetch a metaphor which describes a creature with contradictory personality; which at once is committed to the regeneration of the social order while at the same time retaining a vindictive, vengeful nature.

Stem Cells And Myocardial Regeneration

2007 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 1588296644 | PDF | 4 MB
Over the past 5 years there has been great excitement and controversy in the scientific, financial, and lay literature for the potential of stem cell-based strategies for the prev- tion and treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Not that long ago we believed we were born with a set number of cardiac myocytes and that once damaged there was no hope to replace them. The interest in the field stems from the magnitude of cardiovascular disease in the world. Our ability to treat and help patients survive acute myocardial infarction (MI) has resulted in a near epidemic of CHF. There are more than 5 million Americans who currently carry the diagnosis of CHF. With more than 1 million MIs a year in the United States, there are approx 500,000 new cases of CHF diagnosed each year. The goal of Stem Cells and Myocardial Regeneration is to present, in a coherent manner, the current state of knowledge of stem cell-based therapies for cardiac dysfunction, including current findings in both the laboratory and the clinic trials. The first section of this Stem Cells and Myocardial Regeneration focuses on the magnitude of the problem and the successes and failures of what we consider optimal medical therapy. It is on this background that stem cell-based therapy needs to build.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 1071640860 | 300 Pages | PDF (True) | 24 MB
This detailed volume presents state-of-the-art techniques in ocular regeneration research, pulling together recent animal model systems identifying key genes and regulatory networks that contribute to the regenerative response as well as advances in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) biology. The book opens with a section on the anterior segment and key models and techniques utilized to study the cornea, lens, and trabecular meshwork, and continues with chapters on the posterior segment, and largely the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), with techniques developed in a variety of model systems to study regeneration of these tissues. The concluding part examines novel technologies utilized in ocular regeneration research. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Free Download Axon Growth and Regeneration: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology) by Andrew J. Murray
English | September 17, 2016 | ISBN: 149394584X | 264 pages | PDF | 62 Mb
Axon Growth and Regeneration: Methods and Protocols brings together a diverse set of techniques for the study of the mechanisms underlying central nervous system axon growth, consequently providing a resource that will aid in the development of repair strategies. After an introductory section, this detailed volume continues with sections focusing on axon growth in vitro, providing a range of protocols that can be used to examine intracellular signalling pathways, axonal responses to extracellular factors and methods for quantifying outgrowth. The next section provides protocols for inducing experimental injury in vivo as well as some highly promising protocols for promoting regeneration, which segues into the final section highlighting a series of protocols that can be used to monitor the extent of axon regeneration in vivo, ranging from tract tracing to in vivo imaging and functional recovery. As a book in the Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
