Functional Diseases of the Esophagus: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Surgical Technique (Updates in Surgery)
by Vincenzo Landolfi Salvatore ToloneThis is an open access book on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and surgical techniques of functional diseases of the esophagus. In the past, these diseases were only studied and treated in a few centres. However, in the last thirty years, thanks to the advent of laparoscopic surgery, interest in these pathologies has broadened considerably, and not only from a surgical point of view: new diagnostic technologies have in fact been developed that have led to more appropriate classifications and endoscopic treatments have been proposed with excellent results; in addition, robotic surgery is emerging in specialised centres and is likely to replace the laparoscopic approach.

Applicability of No-insulation High-Temperature Superconductor Saddle-Shaped Dipole Magnet to Particle Accelerator (Springer Theses)
by Geonyoung KimThis thesis addresses research on the design, fabrication, and operation of the first saddle-shaped dipole magnet for particle accelerators using a no-insulation high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. Unlike HTS magnets with various geometries used in other applications, saddle-shaped magnets posed unresolved challenges in analysis and fabrication due to their complex shape. This thesis is the first study to systematically classify these issues and propose detailed solutions for each. Scaling up the techniques used in this research could enable the development of dipole magnets exceeding 20 T, significantly enhancing particle accelerator performance. Institutions such as CERN and INFN-LASA are pursuing high-field HTS magnets, and this study has led to international collaborations, including Horizon Europe and the International Muon Collider Collaboration. This research has opened a new chapter in foundational technology for particle accelerators, which are widely adopted in particle physics, cancer treatment, chemistry, biotechnology, and materials science. Moreover, it addresses major challenges in HTS magnet technology, such as precise estimation of critical current, screening current analysis, and quench repetition experiments and analysis, by defining these problems and presenting viable solutions with experimental validations.
Climate Change Resilience Across Societal Contexts: Challenges, Potentials and Visions for the Future (Energy, Climate and the Environment)
by Tracey Skillington Annalisa SettiThis volume sets out to address current gaps in research thinking on how material and non-material factors work in tandem to inhibit effective sustainable development transitions across differing world settings. It will showcase a body of research that accounts for the experiences of cohorts residing in various world regions and provide the reader with a series of conceptual tools with which to understand major factors currently shaping responses to climate change. In that, it responds directly to calls by various international agencies for research communities to provide more detailed evidence of how climate change not only adds to existing societal burdens but also creates newer ones and critically reconsider strategies for realizing UN Sustainable Development Goals in ways that bring SDG 10 on inequalities and SDG 13 on climate action, in particular, together more strategically. With a heavy emphasis on the need for communities to abandon many established socio-cultural practices and adjust comprehensively to a series of new climate imperatives (social, environmental, economic, etc.), little attention is paid to the potential risks these changes pose to the health and wellbeing of vulnerable cohorts. As these risks may constitute considerable barriers to long-term resilience-building and effective climate actions, the difficulties encountered by different communities need to be better understood and accounted for in climate change research. This volume sets out to examine these issues and consider more equitable approaches to climate change resilience-building.

Unifying Classical and Quantum Physics: How classical and quantum physics can pass smoothly back and forth
by Riccardo FantoniThis book presents a comprehensive exploration of affine quantization and its implications for quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and even quantum gravity. Canonical quantization has been a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, but it struggles with certain fundamental problems, such as the quantization of a particle in a box. A new approach, affine quantization, offers a more robust framework, addressing challenges that canonical methods cannot resolve. Drawing on the results of our collaboration, we develop a self-contained and rigorous exposition, complete with detailed proofs. Our goal is to provide a valuable reference for graduate students, mathematicians, and physicists seeking deeper insights into unresolved issues of the Standard Model—particularly the Higgs sector—and quantum gravity. From the triviality problem in scalar field theories to the role of quantization in addressing singularities, this book connects fundamental mathematical concepts with pressing questions in modern physics. By presenting both theoretical developments and numerical results, we offer readers a structured approach to exploring novel quantization methods and their impact on contemporary physics.
