Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Volume 47 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains eight reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with inotropic steroids, with chemokines and their involvement in a wide range of inflam matory diseases, with the subclassification and nomenclature of ul- and Uz-adrenoceptors, with Chinese traditional medicine, with drug targets in the molecular pathogenesis of asthma, with cytokines and their therapeutic application in immunosuppression and immunostimulation, with alter native medicine and with the potential use of calcium blockers in psy chiatry. These reviews and the quotations of original articles provide the reader with valuable information on several new developments in the world-wide search for new and better medicines. In 1959, when the Editor started this series of monographs, it was his intention to help disseminate informa tion on the vast and fast growing domain of drug research. Already at that time,it was not possible to follow the major individual publications in this field, and the reader was thereby provided with a tool to keep abreast of the latest developments and trends. This goal remained unchanged over the last 37 years, and I believe that the reviews in PDR are useful to the non-specialist who can obtain an overview of a particular field of drug research in a relatively short time.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 348 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Evariste Galois' short life was lived against the turbulent background of the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of France, the 1830 revolution in Paris and the accession of Louis-Phillipe. This new and scrupulously researched biography of the founder of modern algebra sheds much light on a life led with great intensity and a death met tragically under dark circumstances. Sorting speculation from documented fact, it offers the fullest and most exacting account ever written of Galois' life and work. It took more than seventy years to fully understand the French mathematician's first mémoire (published in 1846) which formulated the famous 'Galois theory' concerning the solvability of algebraic equations by radicals, from which group theory would follow. Obscurities in his other writings - mémoires and numerous fragments of extant papers - persist and his ideas challenge mathematicians to this day. Thus scholars will welcome those chapters devoted specifically to explicating all aspects of Galois' work. A comprehensive bibliography enumerates studies by and also those about the mathematician.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die komplexe Beziehung Mensch-Natur kann nur sinnvoll bearbeitet werden, wenn es der Wissenschaft gelingt, die Grenzen der Fächer und ihre eigenen Grenzen zu über-schreiten: Der Inter- bzw. Transdisziplinarität kommt in der Umweltforschung herausragende Bedeutung zu, und die akademische Lehre ist gefordert, die Voraussetzungen dafür zu vermitteln. Eine breit verstandene, interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftsforschung, zu der vor allem Wissenschaftsphilosophie, -soziologie und -geschichte Beiträge liefern, soll diese Aufgabe erfüllen. Das Buch gibt Einblick in verschiedene Zugänge einer solchen integrativen ''Wissenschafts-Wissenschaft'' und zeigt, welchen Stellenwert und Nutzen Wissenschaftsforschung für die Umweltforschung und -lehre haben kann. Es bietet Gelegenheit, sonst nur getrennt vorliegende empirische und analytische Ansätze exemplarisch kennenzulernen. Das Werk richtet sich an Wissenschaftler/innen und Verantwortliche der Bereiche Umwelt, Bildung und Forschung in Politik und Verwaltung, die sich damit beschäftigen, wie die Wissenschaft Umweltprobleme und andere gesellschaftliche Probleme angemessen angehen kann. 202 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Increasing interest has been emerging in the last decade in the field of signal recognition and transduction. This is particularly true for animal systems where an impressive amount of literature is appearing and where many important pathways have been clarified at a molecular level. In the elucidation of the functions of single components of a given pathway, gene cloning has played a major role and opened the field to the genetic engineering of these complex systems. At variance with this situation, plant systems are less well elucidated, even if in recent years exciting research of developments have been initiated especially with the view toward the most promising role plants in biotechnology. Recent studies have elucidated some of the events involved in the perception of the plant hormone signals and some steps concerning its transduction. Only for three of the five hormones in plants, namely auxin, ethylene and cytokinins, have specific receptors been isolated. The use of classical molecular approaches, together with the more recently isolated mutants, have produced crucial information on receptors and shed light on possible transduction pathways. As in the case of red light, more than one pathway can be triggered by one specific signal. Many systems involved in animal signaling are now shown to be present also in plants, and in view of the fast progress in this area, it will be possible in the near future to fully describe the content of the 'black boxes' in the reaction chain specifically triggered by a signal.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 196 pp. Englisch.
