Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -24. Marz 1994 -ein denkwiirdiges Datum: ein halbes Jahrtausend ist seit der Geburt eines Mannes vergangen, der jener Zeit in ganz besonderer Weise seinen Stempel aufdriickte und dies in der Absicht, Niitzliches, WertvoHes, Tiefgriindi ges, AuBergewohnliches zu schaffen. Goethe nannte ihn eine tilchtige und wohl um sich her schauende N atur, lobte ihn ob seiner Werke, welche den ganzen Kreis des alten und neuen Bergbaues, alter und neuer Erz-und Steinkunde umfassen und uns als ein kostliches Geschenk vorliegen. Welch schone Worte fur einen Menschen, dem das unverfalschte Erbe der Antike ebenso wichtig war wie die im Aufbruch befindliche Wissenschaft zu bereichem und in groBer Vielfalt gleichsam zu veredeln. Padagogik, lateinische und griechische Sprache, Philosophie, Medizin, Historiographie, Numismatik und Metrologie, Geologie und Mineralogie, Berg-und Hiittenwesen, Aufberei tung und Verfahrenstechnik - wer schuf in jener Zeit Vergleichbares und sol cherart Facettenreiches in wissenschaftlichem Denken und Wirken, zumal in groBem FleiBe niedergeschrieben und flir die N achwelt so auf ewig aufbewahrt In diesem Jahr steht dieser groBe sachsische Humanist und Renaissancege lehrte, dieser Riese an Denkkraft, Leidenschaft und Charakter, an Vielseitigkeit und Gelehrsamkeit, deutlicher denn je vor uns, gemahnt gleichermaBen an Gutes wie an urnfassende Bildung und Weisheit, nimmt uns auf neue Weise in die tagliche Pllicht.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 512 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF) is a secreted glycoprotein that stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte precursor cells, and induces mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells from the bone marrow. Development of recombinant human G-CSF has had a profound impact on the treatment of many diseases, including severe chronic neutropenia and cancer, and has enabled peripheral stem cell transplantation to supplant bone marrow transplantation in the autologous setting.This Milestones in Drug Therapy volume describes the experience of the last 20 years of treatment with recombinant human G-CSF, including the basic science, the use of recombinant human G-CSF in both the oncology and nononcology settings, and the safety and economics of its use. Many of the authors were the original investigators of recombinant human G-CSF and other authors are key researchers who provide their outlook for the next 20 years for use of and research with recombinant human G-CSF.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 500 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Unter den Gattungen der antiken Literatur ist nach Jahren der Ver nachUissigung in der letzten Zeit ein besonderes Interesse am griechisch romischen Roman festzustellen. Die vom 27. -31. Marz 1995 im Centro Stefano Franscini von den beiden Unterzeichnenden organisierte Tagung wollte diesem neu erwachten Interesse in zweifacher Weise gerecht wer den: Einerseits wollten wir ein Forum bieten, urn die oft kontroversen Forschungsstandpunkte zu diskutieren und dadurch eventuell neue Mog lichkeiten des Zugangs zu den erzahlenden Texten der Antike zu erOff nen, andrerseits sollten die vielfaltigen Beziehungen zwischen den antiken und mittelalterlichen Erzahlformen in interdisziplinarer Zusammenarbeit von Klassischen Philologen, Byzantinisten, Mediavisten und Romanisten erhellt werden. Die in dem vorliegenden Band publizierten Beitrage, die Uberarbeiteten Fassungen der auf dem Monte Verita gehaltenen Vortrage, belegen, so hoffen wir, die auBerst ertragreiche und anregende Zusam menarbeit der verschiedenen an der Tagung beteiligten literaturwissen schaftlichen Disziplinen. An dieser Stelle seien einige Worte des Dankes gestattet: Dem Centro Stefano Franscini und der ETH ZUrieh sei gedankt flir die Gastfreund schaft, die uns auf dem Monte Verita zuteil wurde, und fUr die Uberaus groBzUgige finanzielle UnterstUtzung, ohne die die Tagung nie hatte statt finden konnen. Frau Katia Bastianelli hat durch ihren nie ermUdenden Einsatz den reibungslosen Ablauf der Tagung moglich gemacht. Die ZUr cher Mitarbeiter, Tatiana Crivelli und Johannes Bartuschat, haben sich sowohl im Vorfeld der Tagung als auch in der redaktionellen Arbeit am vorliegenden Tagungsband selbstlos eingesetzt.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 364 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Eleven years have elapsed since the appearance of the first Volume and it is with great pleasure that the Editor is now able to present Volume 14. During these eleven years various fields of drug research have undergone important, partly revolutionary, changes. A number of these have already been dealt with, so that the series PROGRESS IN DRUG RESEARCH contains a comprehensive review of a substantial part of our current knowledge. The Editor is particularly grateful for the opportunity of transmitting to those connected with the development of drugs the extensive knowledge of the Authors, who, without exception, are themselves actively engaged in research. Drug research is currently in a state of transformation: reconsideration in the light of the past and reorientation with a view to the future. To a large extent this is due to the tumultuous developments in the last 20 years, developments which are unparalleled in the history of medicine and the consequences of which cannot yet be completely evaluated. Unfortunately, however, the current situation is not devoid of its unpleasant and even tragic aspects, aspects which fall outside the research worker's sphere or influence. Those connected with drug research, be they in industry, in universities or in clinics, are aware of these problems, and, as a result of this awareness, are all the more in need of an aid which will assist them in ascertaining the current position and in fixing future goals.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 588 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Volumes 18 and 19 of 'Progress in Drug Research' differed from the earlier volumes insofar as they were concerned almost exclusively with problems in the field of Tropical Medicine. The editor and publishers believed that in this way some contribution could be made to the solution of some of the many problems with which the developing countries are burdened. The 20th volume, however, is in the customary form; it contains 17 contributions from various areas of drug research and therapy. Whereas the articles concentrate on a short representation of the progress which has already been made, nevertheless reference is also made to the many unsolved problems within the particular areas. The editor hopes that the 20th volume will not only represent a comprehensive review but will also be of some use in focusing further investigations on problems of medicine that have still not been overcome. The editor would also like to take this opportunity of expressing his gratitude to Dr. A. Naffor carefully working over the manuscripts and correcting proofs. Thanks are also due to the publishers and the printers, Druckerei Birkhauser, especially Dr. A. Birkhauser, Th. Birkhauser and C. Einsele, for their painstaking work on the printing and lay-out of the volume. August 1976 Dr. E. JUCKER Sandoz AG, Basel Vorwort Die Bande 18 und 19 der 'Fortschritte der Arzneimitte1forschung' wichen insofern von den vorhergehenden Banden ab, a1s sie fast ausschliess1ich Prob1eme der Tropenkninkheiten behandelten. 632 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present 18th volume differs from previous volumes insofar as, with the exception of two contributions, it is exclusively concerned with problems of a single field, namely Tropical Medicine. This was occasioned by the Internatio nal Symposium on the investigation and treatment of infectious tropical diseases held in Bombay in January 1974 and organized by the editor in collaboration with the Minister of Health of the State of Maharashtra, Dr. Rafiq Zakaria, the Director of the Hafl'kine Institute, Dr. B. Gaitonde, and with Dr. J. N. Banerjee, Dr. S. K. Bhattacharya and Mr. P. D'Souza. The Hafl'kine Institute celebrated on this occasion the 75th year of its existence and everyone entrusted with the organisation of the Symposium considered themselves fortunate to have been able to help in strengthening the contacts between Indian and foreign research workers, in the hope of, in this way, making a contribution to the fight against infectious tropical diseases. The editor hopes that the present 18th volume will represent comprehensive information on the topics treated at the Symposium; the 19th volume, which will soon appear, is concerned with the same area, so that the two volumes together should give a good picture of the many still unsolved problems. The editor would also like to take this opportunity of expressing his gratitude to his collaborator, Dr. A. Niif, who, as usual, performed valuable services in working over the manuscripts. 498 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Volume 41 of 'Progress in Orug Research' contains eight reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the con nection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with teratogenesis; nephrotoxicity; bacterial resistance to P. lactam antibiotics; eradication of diseases by vaccination; chirality and drug design; endogenous digitalis-like factors; erythropoietin; and sero tonin (5HT)-antagonists. 3 All these articles give an excellent overview of the respective fields of research. In the 33 years that POR has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valu able help and advice of many colleagues. Readers, the authors of the reviews, and last but not least, the reviewers have all contributed greatly to the success of this series. Although the comments received so far have generally been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze and to reassess the current position and the future direction of such a review series. So far, it has been the Editors intention to help disseminate informa tion on the vast domain of drug research, and to provide the reader with a tool with which to keep abreast of the latest developments and trends. The reviews in POR are useful to the non-specialists, who can obtain an overview of a particular field of research in a relatively short time. The specialist readers of POR will appreciate the reviews' comprehensive bibliographies, and, in addition, they may even get fresh impulses for their own research. 406 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tiergerechte Haltungsformen gewinnen erfreulicherweise und aus vielerlei Grunden zu nehmend an Gewicht. Die Entwicklung wird von sehr unterschiedlichen Menschen und Gruppen vorangetrieben. Verhaltensforscher erarbeiten deren Grundlagen. Es gilt namIich herauszufinden, welche Haltungssysteme im Sinne der darin lebenden Tiere als tiergerecht bezeichnet werden konnen, wo Kompromisse moglich sind und welche Haltungsformen abgelehnt werden miissen. Es gilt aber auch herausZufinden wie Stane beschaffen sein soll ten, in denen Menschen im Rahmen ihrer taglichen Arbeit mit den Nutztieren umgehen. Zu fragen sind daher die Tiere und die Tierhalter. Die vorliegende Schrift ist aus einer am Fachbereich Landwirtschaft der Gesamthochschule Kassel in Witzenhausen angefertigten Diplomarbeit hervorgegangen. Am Anfang stand das Engagement des Autors fUr die Belange der Milchkiihe. Es ~eIang das Niitzliche mit dem Angenehmen zu verbinden und das Interesse an ethologlschen Fragen in eine Diplomarbeit als AbschluB des landwirtschaftlichen Studiums einzubringen. Gediingt wurde die Pflanze mit dem Humus der Kenntnisse, die sich auf den verschiedenen Gebieten der landwirschaftlichen Tierhaltung angesammelt hatten. Die berechtigten Forderungen der Praxis sorgten schlieBlich dafiir, daB die Baume nicht in den Himmel wuchsen. So ist ein Leitfaden entstanden, der mithelfen kann, den Wunsch nach tiergerechter Milchviehhaltung etwas besser zu erfiillen. Wer Verbesserungen, Umbauten oder gar einen Neubau plant, wird zahlreiche Anregun gen finden. Wer sich, aus welchen Grunden auch immer, informieren will, kann dies mit Gewinn tun. Der Leser wird schnell gewahr werden, wie vielschichtig die Synthese aus dem Verhalten von Milchkiihen, den daraus abgeleiteten Grundre~eln des Stallbaus und den Beurteilungskriterieen der Tierschutzgesetzgebung in der Wirkllchkeit ist. 108 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.
