Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) require multiple components to operate properly, and the fuel cell stack—the source of power—is one of the most important components. While the number of enterprises manufacturing and selling fuel cell stacks is increasing globaly year after year, the residual challenges of core components and technologies still need to be resolved in order to keep pace with the development of lithium-ion batteries (i.e., its primary competitor). Additionally, many production and distribution standards are seen as unsettled. These barriers make large-scale commercialization an issue. Use of Proton-exchange Membrane Fuel Cells in Ground Vehicles explores the opportunities and challenges within the PEMFC industry. With the help of expert contributors, a critical overview of fuel cells and the FCEV industry is presented, and core technology, applications, costs, and trends are analyzed. The report concludes a series of recommendations for industry and government stakeholders to promote the development of FCEV industry.

Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology, recognized by many as the most authoritative single source of information in the field of toxicologic pathology, has been extensively updated to continue its comprehensive and timely coverage. The fourth edition has been expanded to five separate volumes due to an explosion of information in this field requiring new and updated chapters. Completely revised with a number of new chapters, Volume 2: Toxicologic Pathology in Safety Assessment is an essential part of the most authoritative reference on toxicologic pathology principles and techniques for assessing product safety and human risk. Volume 2 describes the integration of product-induced structural and functional changes in tissues and the interpretation of their biological implications. Completely revised with many new chapters, Volume 2 of the Fourth Edition covers product safety assessment from many angles including current and emerging issues in toxicologic pathology for many product classes. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology is a key resource for pathologists, toxicologists, research scientists, and regulators who use toxicologic pathology methods to study and make decisions on product safety. - Previous chapters on such topics as drug discovery and development, toxicity and carcinogenicity testing, report preparation, and risk assessment and communication have undergone extensive revision that includes in-depth discussion of new developments in the field - New chapters consider fundamental attributes for additional product classes including protein therapeutics, nucleic acid pharmaceutical agents, gene therapy and gene editing, stem cell and other cell therapies, vaccines, agricultural and bulk chemicals, and assigning adversity - Chapters dealing with product-specific practices address pathology and regulatory issues - Chapters offer high-quality and up-to-date content in a trusted work written by the collaborative efforts of many leading international subject matter experts - Hundreds of full-color images and diagrams are featured in both the print and electronic versions of this book to illustrate classic examples and highlight difficult concepts

This book examines the issue of plagiarism in the Chinese context of history and education, both in classical and contemporary times. In view of the effort on a global scale to fight against plagiarism and consolidating anti-plagiarism education, this book examines how plagiarism is conceptualized and addressed in the Confucian Heritage Culture society of China. Employing qualitative content analysis, genre analysis, and discourse analysis to examine Chinesemedium textual materials of different kinds, this book offers new perspectives on the question of plagiarism in China. These textual materials include classic and ancient Chinese books, modern newspapers in China (1840–1949), academic literature, correspondence texts on plagiarism cases, and textbooks published in China on Chinese and English academic writing. Inspiring future research and educational initiatives aimed at addressing the problem of plagiarism in the contemporary world, this book will appeal to students and scholars of education, Chinese history, and Asian studies.

Eggs are one of the most popular foods worldwide due to their great taste and versatility, economical value and high nutritional content. The egg plays an important role in the human diet, both for the nutritional value of its many components (e.g., proteins, vitamins, minerals, choline, specific long chain fatty acids) as well for its wide range of functional characteristics, including foaming, gelling and emulsifying properties. The egg sector is a vibrant field with many new developments in terms of production, processing and commercialization as well as research. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the global production of eggs has grown by 69.5%, farm production systems have evolved to improve the welfare of laying hens, many eggshell and egg products have been developed to address the changing demands of consumers and our knowledge of the composition of the egg has been boosted by the latest gene-based technologies. Information on the science and technology of egg and egg processing is essential to governments, academia and industry. The Handbook of Egg Science and Technology aims to be the first book providing a complete source of information about egg science and technology, covering topics such as world egg production, marketing of eggs, chemistry of egg components, functional properties of egg components, egg processing, egg product development, eggshell quality, grading, egg microbiology, egg pasteurization, egg nutrition and bioactive components, egg biotechnology and sustainability of egg production. Features Includes the most current and comprehensive scientific and technical information about egg science and technology Presents an ideal guide for professionals in related food industries, egg business consultants, regulatory agencies and research groups Answers the need for a comprehensive textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in food science, animal science and poultry departments A global panel of experts in the field of egg science was gathered with the aim to provide the most updated information and development on many topics likely to interest readers ranging from academia and food science students to managers working in the food production and egg processing sectors. This handbook is an excellent resource for the food and poultry industry, R&D sectors, as well as experts in the field of food and nutrition.
