      "The avifauna of China include a total of close to 1,500 species, of which 60 are endemic. More than 100 species are globally threatened. This new field guide, published in China by Chinese National Geography, treats all species, illustrating every one using 4,000 individual images. Each species has identification text and a distribution map. It is, in every way, a modern-style field guide and will fill a void for birders within and outside China"--

      Focusing on regulatory compliance, this technical report outlines a framework for quantifying and monitoring uncertainties related to Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) parameters such as Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Credit Conversion Factor (CCF). It aligns with the European Banking Authority's guidelines effective January 1, 2021, and introduces a methodology for adjusting estimates based on categorized deficiency types. The proposed approach aims to be intuitive, flexible, and transparent for institutions navigating these complex requirements.

      The thesis explores the creation of theranostic gold nanostars (GNS) aimed at enhancing cancer imaging and therapy. It introduces an innovative dual treatment approach that merges immune-checkpoint inhibition with GNS-mediated photothermal nanotherapy. This method successfully eliminates primary tumors while also activating immune responses that target and treat distant, untreated tumors in a mouse model, showcasing its potential for comprehensive cancer treatment.

      This SpringerBrief presents a recent advancement in modeling and measurement of the effect of surface wettability on the defrost process. Carefully controlled laboratory measurements of the defrosting of cooled surfaces are used to reveal the effect of surface wetting properties on the extent and speed of frost removal by melting or slumping. The experiments are accompanied by visualization of frost removal at several defrosting conditions. Analysis breaks the defrost process into three stages according to the behavior of the meltwater. Surface wetting factors are included, and become significant when sufficient meltwater accumulates between the saturated frost layer and the surface. The book is aimed at researchers, practicing engineers and graduate students.

      The report delves into the estimation and grading of customer Probability of Default (PD) within financial institutions, highlighting the established use of a firm-wide master scale for internal portfolios. It addresses the ongoing debates regarding the comparison of grade PDs, average PDs across grades, and the observed Default Rate (DR). Additionally, it examines the Bayesian estimator for grade PDs, emphasizing its potential advantages over the traditional method of using simple default rates based on varying prior distribution assumptions.
