I. From war to peace -- pt. II. The new world -- pt. III. American dreams. 330 $aFrom 1944 to 1946, as the world pivoted from the Second World War to an unsteady peace, Americans in more than two hundred cities and towns mobilized to chase an implausible dream. The newly-created United Nations needed a meeting place, a central place for global diplomacy?a Capital of the World. But what would it look like, and where would it be? Without invitation, civic boosters in every region of the United States leapt at the prospect of transforming their hometowns into the Capital of the World. The idea stirred in big cities?Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans, Denver, and more. It fired imaginations in the Black Hills of South Dakota and in small towns from coast to coast. Meanwhile, within the United Nations the search for a headquarters site became a debacle that threatened to undermine the organization in its earliest days. At times it seemed the world?s diplomats could agree on only one thing: under no circumstances did they want the United Nations to be based in New York. And for its part, New York worked mightily just to stay in the race it would eventually win. With a sweeping view of the United States? place in the world at the end of World War II, Capital of the World tells the dramatic, surprising, and at times comic story of hometown promoters in pursuit of an extraordinary prize and the diplomats who struggled with the balance of power at a pivotal moment in history. 606 $aHISTORY / United States / General$2bisacsh 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xBuildings, structures, etc 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / General. 676 $a341.2309 700 $aMires$b Charlene, $00 701 $aMires$b Charlene$01633515 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814407703321 996 $aCapital of the World$93973287 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01520oam 2200481zu 450 001 9910153170903321 005 20210803234845.0 010 $a2-336-28995-4 035 $a(CKB)3780000000044776 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000951430 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12361646 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000951430 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10885004 035 $a(PQKB)10264390 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000044776 100 $a20160829d2013 uy 101 0 $afre 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAutour de Jean Moulin : témoignages et documents inédits 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cL'Harmattan$d2013 225 0 $aChemins de la mâemoire Autour de Jean Moulin 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a2-336-29038-3 311 $a2-296-53028-1 606 $aStatesmen$xUnderground movements$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zFrance 606 $aRegions & Countries - Europe$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aFrance$2HILCC 615 0$aStatesmen$xUnderground movements 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Europe 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aFrance 700 $aTémoignages$01243563 702 $aBerriot$b F 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153170903321 996 $aAutour de Jean Moulin : témoignages et documents inédits$92884385 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05620nam 22006615 450 001 9910300533503321 005 20200703183341.0 010 $a978-981-13-0472-9 010 $a981-13-0472-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-13-0472-9 035 $a(CKB)4100000004244378 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5402148 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-13-0472-9 035 $a(PPN)227399390 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000004244378 100 $a20180524d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 12$aA Polymer Cochlear Electrode Array: Atraumatic Deep Insertion, Tripolar Stimulation, and Long-Term Reliability /$fby Tae Mok Gwon 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (107 pages) 225 1 $aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 311 $a981-13-0471-8 327 $aAbstract -- Contents -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- List of Abbreviations -- Chapter 1 Introduction -- 1.1 Overview of Neural Prostheses and Cochlear Implants -- 1.2 Review of Cochlear Electrode Arrays -- 1.3 Proposed Polymer Cochlear Electrode Array -- 1.4 Long-Term Reliability of Polymer-Based Neural Prostheses -- 1.5 Objectives of the Dissertation -- Chapter 2 Materials and Methods -- 2.1 Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) -- 2.2 Cochlear Electrode Array for Atraumatic Deep Insertion -- 2.3 Polymer Electrode Array for Tripolar Stimulation -- 2.4 Long-Term Reliability Analysis of LCP-Based Neural Implants -- Chapter 3 Results -- 3.1 LCP-Based Cochlear Electrode Array for Atraumatic Deep Insertion -- 3.2 Polymer Electrode Array for Tripolar Stimulation -- 3.3 Long-Term Device Reliability -- Method -- Chapter 4 Discussion -- 4.1 LCP-Based Cochlear Electrode Arraysfor Atraumatic Deep Insertion -- 4.2 Power Consumption and Stimulation Threshold of Tripolar Stimulation -- 4.3 Technical Strategies to Improve Device Reliability -- 4.4 Review of Long-Term Reliability of LCP-Based Devices -- Chapter 5 Conclusion -- References. 330 $aThis book describes the design, fabrication and evaluation of a polymer-based neural interface for a cochlear electrode array, reviewed in terms of fabrication process, functionality, and reliability. Polymer-based devices have attracted attention in the neural prosthetic field due to their flexibility and compatibility with micro-fabrication process. A liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is an inert, highly water-resistant polymer suitable for the encapsulation of electronic components and as a substrate material for fabricating neural interfaces. The author has designed, fabricated, and evaluated an LCP-based cochlear electrode array for an improved polymer-based cochlear implant. The thesis deals with 3 key topics: atraumatic deep insertion, tripolar stimulation, and long-term reliability. Atraumatic insertion of the intracochlear electrode and resulting preservation of residual hearing have become essential in state?of-the-art cochlear implantation. A novel tapered design of an LCP-based cochlear electrode array is presented to meet such goals. For high-density and pitch-recognizable cochlear implant, channel interaction should be avoided. Local tripolar stimulation using multi-layered electrode sites are shown to achieve highly focused electrical stimulation. This thesis addresses another vital issue in the polymer-based neural implants: the long-term reliability issue. After suggesting a new method of forming mechanical interlocking to improve polymer-metal adhesion, the author performs accelerating aging tests to verify the method?s efficacy. The aforementioned three topics have been thoroughly examined through various in vitro and in vivo studies. Verification foresees the development of LCP-based cochlear electrode array for an atraumatic deep insertion, advanced stimulation, and long-term clinical implant. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aMaterials?Surfaces 606 $aThin films 606 $aPolymers 606 $aMicroarrays 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aMicroarrays$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12050 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aMaterials?Surfaces. 615 0$aThin films. 615 0$aPolymers. 615 0$aMicroarrays. 615 14$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aMicroarrays. 676 $a617.89 700 $aGwon$b Tae Mok$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0835609 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300533503321 996 $aA Polymer Cochlear Electrode Array: Atraumatic Deep Insertion, Tripolar Stimulation, and Long-Term Reliability$92529260 997 $aUNINA
