The Routledge Handbook of Content and Language Integrated Learning

The Routledge Handbook of Content and Language Integrated Learning

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an increasingly popular educational approach given its dual focus on enabling learners to acquire subject-matter through an additional language while learning this second language in tandem with content. This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of recent CLIL developments illustrating how CLIL has been uniquely conceptualised and practised across educational and geographical contexts. Divided into six sections covering language and language teaching core topics and issues contexts and learners CLIL in practice CLIL around the world and a final section looking forward to future research directions every chapter provides a balanced discussion of the benefits challenges and implications of this approach. Representing the same diversity and intercultural understanding that CLIL features the chapters are authored by established as well as early-career academics based around the world. The Routledge Handbook of Content and Language Integrated Learning is the essential guide to CLIL for advanced students and researchers of applied linguistics education and TESOL.

Simple Extensions with the Minimum Degree Relations of Integral Domains

Simple Extensions with the Minimum Degree Relations of Integral Domains

Although there are many types of ring extensions simple extensions have yet to be thoroughly explored in one book. Covering an understudied aspect of commutative algebra Simple Extensions with the Minimum Degree Relations of Integral Domains presents a comprehensive treatment of various simple extensions and their properties. In particular it examines several properties of simple ring extensions of Noetherian integral domains. As experts who have been studying this field for over a decade the authors present many arguments that they have developed themselves mainly exploring anti-integral super-primitive and ultra-primitive extensions. Within this framework they study certain properties such as flatness integrality and unramifiedness. Some of the topics discussed include Sharma polynomials vanishing points Noetherian domains denominator ideals unit groups and polynomial rings. Presenting a complete treatment of each topic Simple Extensions with the Minimum Degree Relations of Integral Domains serves as an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers involved in the area of commutative algebra.

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction

The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction presents a comprehensive view on the destruction of cultural heritage and offers insights into this multifaceted interdisciplinary phenomenon; the methods scholars have used to study it; and the results these various methods have produced. By juxtaposing theoretical and legal frameworks and conceptual contexts alongside a wide distribution of geographical and temporal case studies this book throws light upon the risks and the realizations of art and heritage destruction. Exploring the variety of forces that drive the destruction of heritage the volume also contains contributions that consider what forms heritage destruction takes and in which contexts and circumstances it manifests. Contributors including local scholars also consider how these drivers and contexts change and what effect this has on heritage destruction and how we conceptualise it. Overall the book establishes the importance of the need to study the destruction of art and cultural heritage within a wider framework that encompasses not only theory but also legal military social and ontological issues. The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction will contribute to the development of a more complete understanding and analysis of heritage destruction. The Handbook will be useful to academics students and professionals with interest in heritage conservation and preservation history and art history archaeology anthropology philosophy and law.

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology

Kaplan's Principles of Plant Morphology defines the field of plant morphology providing resources examples and theoretical constructs that illuminate the foundations of plant morphology and clearly outline the importance of integrating a fundamental understanding of plant morphology into modern research in plant genetics development and physiology. As research on developmental genetics and plant evolution emerges an understanding of plant morphology is essential to interpret developmental and morphological data. The principles of plant morphology are being brought into studies of crop development biodiversity and evolution during climate change and increasingly such researchers are turning to old texts to uncover information about historic research on plant morphology. Hence there is great need for a modern reference and textbook that highlights past studies and provides the synthesis of data necessary to drive our future research in plant morphological and developmental evolution. Key Features Numerous illustrations demonstrating the principles of plant morphology Historical context for interpretations of more recent genetic data Firmly rooted in the principles of studying plant form and function Provides evolutionary framework without relying on evolutionary interpretations for plant form Only synthetic treatment of plant morphology on the market Related Titles Les D.

Organelle and Molecular Targeting

Organelle and Molecular Targeting

We have surpassed the omics era and are truly in the Age of Molecular Therapeutics. The fast-paced development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines such as the mRNA vaccines encoding the viral spike protein demonstrated the need for and capability of molecular therapy and nanotechnology-based solutions for drug delivery. In record speed the SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA genome was sequenced and shared with the scientific community allowing the rapid design of molecular therapeutics. The mRNA vaccines exploit the host cell endoplasmic reticulum to produce viral spike proteins for antigen presentation and recognition by the innate and adaptive immune system. Lipid nanoparticles enable the delivery of the fragile degradation-sensitive nucleic acid payloads. Molecular-based therapeutics and nanotechnology solutions continue to drive the scientific and medical response to the COVID-19 pandemic as new mRNA DNA and protein-based vaccines are developed and approved and the emergency use approved vaccines are rapidly manufactured and distributed throughout the globe. The need for molecular therapies and drug delivery solutions is clear and as these therapies progress and become more specialized there will be important advancements in organelle targeting. For example using organelle targeting to direct lipid nanoparticles with mRNA payloads to the endoplasmic reticulum would increase the efficacy of mRNA vaccines reducing the required dose and therefore the biomanufacturing demand. Likewise improving the delivery of DNA therapeutics to the nucleus would improve efficacy. Organelles and molecules have always been drug targets but until recently we have not had the tools or capability to design and develop such highly specific therapeutics. Organelle targeting has far-reaching implications. For example mitochondria are central to both energy production and intrinsic apoptosis. Effectively targeting and manipulating mitochondria has therapeutic applications for diseases such as myopathies cancer neurodegeneration progerias diabetes and the natural aging process. The SARS-CoV-2 vaccines that exploit the endoplasmic reticulum (for mRNA vaccines) and the nucleic translational process (DNA vaccines) attest to the need for organelle and molecular therapeutics. This book covers the status demand and future of organelle- and molecularly targeted therapeutics that are critical to the advancement of modern medicine. Organelle and molecular targeting is the drug design and drug delivery approach of today and the future; understanding this approach is essential for students scientists and clinicians contributing to modern medicine.
