Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In 1968 when Cell Walls and Membranes was published it was still reasonable to attempt to write a book covering the whole subject. Accordingly this edition of the book had something to say about walls from micro-organisms and plants as well as about membranes from bacteria and animal cells. A decade later this is manifestly impossible. Knowledge about almost all the subjects has grown explosively, par ticularly about membranes and the biosynthesis of macromolecules. Moreover aspects of the subject that were still in a relatively primitive state ten years ago have grown into highly sophisticated subjects worthy of extended treatment. The result is that the present book has had to be confined to structures and functions relating to only one division of the biological kingdom, namely micro-organisms. Even then severe limitations have had to be made to keep the task within the time available to the authors and their expertise. A few of the titles of chapters such as those on the isolation of walls and membranes, the structure of the components of bacterial and micro-fungal walls and their biosynthesis remain from the earlier book. These chapters have been almost completely rewritten and a number of quite new chapters added on topics such as the action of the antibiotics that inhibit bacterial wall syn thesis, on the function of bacterial membranes, and the bacterial autolysins.…

Neuware -The Buccaneer Gas and Oil Field Study has been the most comprehensive research project to date concerned with assessing the ecological effects of offshore production activities. It took nearly five years to complete and involved almost 30 individual research groups. All of the raw data have been archived with NOAA's Environmental Data and Information Services, and detailed technical reports have been deposited with the National Technical Information Service so the interested investigator should be able to gain access to them. However, we felt that it would be desirable to present a distillation of our more significant findings in a form that was more readily available to the scientific and lay community. Thus, we conducted a symposium. on the study during EXPOCHEM '80 at the Astrohall, Houston, Texas during October, 1980. This volume comprises the proceedings of that symposium. All but two of the papers presented are included in this book. Manuscripts were not received from Dr. D. A. Wiesenburg (Texas A&M University: Volatile Hydrocarbons) or Dr. J. Tillery (Southwest Research Institute: Trace Metals), but these topics are adequately covered by other authors. An introductory chapter was added to place the study in its proper perspective and to provide some background material on the Buccaneer Field, a brief chapter on biocides was inserted since this topic generated much dis cussion at the symposium, and a bibliography is provided to direct the interested reader to sources of additional published infor mation on the Study.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The discipline of stream ecology has grown exponentially along with most other areas of science in the last three decades. The field has changed from a fish management-dominated poor-sister of limnology to a discipline with theoretical constructs and ecological insights as rich as those in any area of ecology. A focus on energy transformations, nutrient turnover and the storage and processing of organic substrates has greatly enhanced the development of current paradigms. For example, the data base on microbial-biochemical invertebrate interactions in streams is now very extensive. A survey of the stream ecology literature reveals the central role played by H.B. Noel Hynes, whom I believe to be the world's premier lotic ecologist. Professor Hynes produced the major text in the field ('The Ecology of Running Waters') which has served both as an integrative review and as a bridge between the fish-water quality orientation of the fifties and sixties to the process oriented, nutritional resource-watershed perspectives of the seventies. It should also be noted that Professor Hynes' book, 'The Biology of Polluted Waters', served as a basic reference for the earlier period and he has published over 150 research papers, the great majority in stream ecology, spanning four decades.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores both non parametric and general statistical ideas by developing non parametric procedures in simple situations. The major goal is to give the reader a thorough intuitive understanding of the concepts underlying nonparametric procedures and a full appreciation of the properties and operating characteristics of those procedures covered. This book differs from most statistics books by including considerable philosophical and methodological discussion. Special attention is given to discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical methods and approaches. Difficulties that often arise in applying statistical theory to real data also receive substantial attention. The approach throughout is more conceptual than mathematical. The 'Theorem-Proof' format is avoided; generally, properties are 'shown,' rather than 'proved.' In most cases the ideas behind the proof of an im portant result are discussed intuitively in the text and formal details are left as an exercise for the reader. We feel that the reader will learn more from working such things out than from checking step-by-step a complete presen tation of all details.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Biobanks are promising instruments of biomedical research and of transnational medicine in particular. Ethical, legal and social issues associated with biobanking, however, have recently led to a more critical view on this concept. All efforts addressing these concerns have been grounded on well-established standards of biomedical ethics such as informed consent procedures, protection of individual autonomy, benefit sharing etc. By additionally highlighting the widely neglected aspect of trust, this book aims at broadening the horizon of the ELSI-debate and thus filling a gap in current research on biobanking. The contributions of leading experts and junior researchers cover a wide field of disciplines relevant for biobanking including law, ethics, medicine, public health, social sciences, philosophy and theology. 280 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The advances in the theory of diffraction gratings and the applications of these results certainly determine the progress in several areas of applied science and engineering. The polarization converters, phase shifters and filters, quantum and solid-state oscillators, open quasi optical dispersive resonators and power compressors, slow-wave structures and patter forming systems, accelerators and spectrometer; that is still far from being a complete list of devices exploiting the amazing ability of periodic structures to perform controlled frequency, spatial, and polarization selection of signals.Diffraction gratings used to be and still are one of the most popular objects of analysis in electromagnetic theory. The further development of the theory of diffraction gratings, in spite of considerable achievements, is still very important presently. The requirements of applied optics and microwave engineering present the theory of diffraction gratings with many new problems which force us to search for new methods and tools for their resolution. Just in such way there appeared recently new fields, connected with the analysis, synthesis and definition of equivalent parameters of artificial materials - layers and coatings, having periodic structure and possessing features, which can be found in natural materials only in extraordinary or exceptional situations.In this book the authors present results of the electromagnetic theory of diffraction gratings that may constitute the base of further development of this theory which can meet the challenges provided by the most recent requirements of fundamental and applied science.The following issues will be considered in the book Authentic methods of analytical regularization, that perfectly match the requirements of analysis of resonant scattering of electromagnetic waves by gratings; Spectral theory of gratings, providing a reliable foundation for the analysis of spatial - frequency transformations of electromagnetic fields occurring in open periodic resonators and waveguides;Parametric Fourier method and C-method, that are oriented towards the efficient numerical analysis of transformation properties of fields in the case of arbitrary profile periodic boundary between dielectric media and multilayered conformal arrays;Rigorous methods for analysis of transient processes and time-spatial transformations of electromagnetic waves in resonant situations, based on development and incorporation in standard numerical routines of FDTD of so called explicit absorbing boundary conditions;New approaches to the solution of homogenization problems - the key problem arising in construction of metamaterials and meta surfaces;New physical results about the resonance scattering of pulse and monochromatic waves by periodic structures, including structures with chiral or left-handed materials;Methods and the results of the solutions of several actual applied problems of analysis and synthesis of pattern creating gratings, power compressors, resonance radiators of high capacity short radio pulses, open electromagnetic structures for the systems of resonant quasi optics and absorbing coatings. 408 pp. Englisch.…

In den Vereinigten 1 Staaten leben ständig 2 / Millionen Opfer von Schlaganfällen; 2 ein Drittel davon ist jünger als 65 Jahre, und 10% bedürfen der Betreuung in einer Anstalt. Das daraus entstehende Leid läßt sich nicht in Zahlen ausdrücken, wohl aber die jährlichen Ausgaben, die für medizinische Betreuung auf 1,2 Milliarden Dollar und für Verdienstausfälle auf mehr als 3 Milliarden Dollar geschätzt werden. Trotz dieser hohen Ausgaben verfügen viele Ärzte über nur beschränkte Kenntnisse bezüglich des zerebralen Kreislaufs und dessen Erkrankungen. Demzufolge ist die medizinische Betreuung, die vielen ihrer Patienten zuteil wird, nicht optimal. Unser Buch wurde für Kliniker geschrieben, und wir haben den Akzent auf die Diagnose und Therapie häufig vorkommen der Probleme gelegt.

Auflage des Jadassohnschen Handbuches' fiir Haut- und Geschlechts krankheiten verstreut in teils nicht zusammenhangenden Banden. Nach unserer urspriinglichen Konzeption sollten daher die in einer Generation hinzugewonnenen neuen Erkenntnisse dieses Spezialgebietes in einem einzigen Band (IV/I) des Erganzungswerkes vereinigt werden. Die erstrebte Zusammenfassung ist zwar erfolgt, doch - bedingt durch die Fiille des Stoffes - erwies sich eine Zweiteilung des gesamten Materials in die Bande IV/I A und IV/IB als notwendig, von denen wir nunmehr den ersten Teil vorlegen. Eine besondere Freude war es uns, als Bearbeiter von Teilgebieten des vor liegenden Bandes zwei Autoren gewinnen zu konnen, die bereits 1929 das gleiche Thema dargestellt hatten (F. T. CALLOMON und H. H. BIBERSTEIN). Einige tro pische und subtropische Dermatosen wurden von erfahrenen Spezialisten jener Regionen bearbeitet, was unseres Erachtens fUr das Werk von groBem Nutzen war.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Es ist eine unleugbare Tatsache, daB die medizinische Wissenschaft sich immer mehr spezialisiert. Ob dies richtig ist oder nicht, solI dahingestellt bleiben, die Tatsache bleibt aber bestehen. Die Padiatrie hat vielleicht noch am hart nackigsten ihre Einheit zu bewahren versucht und wollte immer das Kind als eine pathologische Einheit betrachten. Wie lange dieses Bestreben der Padiatrie erhalten bleiben wird, wissen wir nicht; die Umrisse der Spezialisierung auch innerhalb der Kinderheilkunde sind aber schon da, so auch auf dem Gebiete der Tuberkulose des Kindesalters. Wer sich ala Kinderarzt mit der Tuberkulose der Kinder eingehender beschaftigen will, der muB bald anerkennen, daB er . ohne ausgiebige rontgenologische und phthisiologische Ausbildung sehr schwer weiterkommen wird. Eben diese Grenzgebiete verlangen eine gewisse Spezialisie rung auch innerhalb der Kinderheilkunde. Jene Rontgenologen und Lungen facharzte hingegen, die sich mit der Tuberkulose der Kinder beschaftigen wollen, miissen sich in die verschiedenen Eigenschaften des Kindesalters so vertiefen, daB sie dadurch die Tuberkulose des Kindesalters besser verstehen sollen. Das Ziel dieses Buches ist, die verschiedenen Anspriiche so auszugleichen, . daB innerhalb der Kinderheilkunde auch die Fortschritte der Grenzgebiete bei der Tuberkulose des Kindesalters beriicksichtigt werden sollen.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In weiten Gebieten der Erde stehen sich heute zwei groBe Probleme diametral gegeniiber: die standig steigende Zahl der kinderlosen Ehen einerseits und die LJberbevolkerung andererseits. Daraus erwachsen gerade fiir den Arzt vollig neue, zum Teil noch kaum losbare Aufgaben. Die hinreichend bekannten, tra gischen Einzelschicksale bei Nichterfiillung des Kinderwunsches konnen jedoch nicht ohne weiteres kollektiven Menschheitsproblemen geopfert werden. 1m Handbuch der Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten von JADASSOHN war die mannliche Infertilitat nur kurz im Rahmen der seinerzeit so vorherrschenden postgonorrhoischen Komplikationen abgehandelt. Ohne Zweifel wurden damals andere Ursachen zu wenig beachtet. Die groBe Bedeutung der mannlichen Infertilitat bei sterilen Ehen wurde erst wahrend der letzten 3 Jahrzehnte erkannt. Die Kenntnisse iiber dieses Gebiet haben sich so stark ausgeweitet und so stiirmisch entwickelt, daB inner halb der Dermatologie mit ihrer langen Tradition auf diesem Gebiet sozusagen ein neues Spezialfach - ahnlich wie die Endokrinologie innerhalb der inneren Medizin - entstanden ist. Die von gynakologischer Seite vielfach erhobene Forderung der Betreuung von beiden Ehepartnern durch einen Arzt diirfte heute nur selten moglich sein. Eine Abtrennung des Forschungsgebietes der mannlichen Infertilitat von der weiblichen Infertilitat und Sterilitat, also eine Abtrennung der Andrologie von der Gynakologie war nach entsprechender Ent wicklung in den anglo-amerikanischen und anderen europaischen Landern unver meidbar. Trotz aller Mahnungen von Andrologen und Gynakologen wird auch heute noch oft die Untersuchung des Ehemannes unterlassen, der Frau aber ohne Not wendigkeit eine Kette von differenten diagnostischen Eingriffen und mehrfachen Operationen zugemutet. 904 pp. Deutsch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Astronauts For Hire' is a comprehensive and authoritative study of the increasing need for commercial astronauts. Erik Seedhouse provides unique insights into the burgeoning new field of commercial space operation and the individuals who will run these missions. Section I begins by describing how Astronauts for Hire (A4H) was created in 2010 by Brian Shiro, a highly qualified NASA astronaut candidate, and a group of other astronaut candidates. Erik introduces A4H's vision for opening the space frontier to commercial astronauts and describes the tantalizing science opportunities offered when suborbital and orbital trips become routine. Section II describes the vehicles astronauts will use. Anticipation is on the rise for the new crop of commercial suborbital and orbital spaceships that will serve the scientific and educational market. These reusable rocket-propelled vehicles are expected to offer quick, routine, and affordable access to the edge of space, along with the capability to carry research and educational crew members. The quick turnaround of these vehicles is central to realizing the profit-making potential of repeated sojourns by astronauts to suborbital and orbital heights. Section III describes the various types of missions this new corps of astronauts will fly and who will hire them. For example, suborbital flights may be used to do high altitude astronomy, life science experiments, and microgravity physics. This section continues with an examination of the types of missions that will accelerate human expansion outward, to Exploration Class missions through lunar bases, the establishment of interplanetary spaceports, and outposts on the surface of Mars. Along the way it describes the tasks commercial astronauts will perform, ranging from mining asteroids to harvesting helium. 272 pp. Englisch.…
