Overview: Prominent experimentalists critically review the animal models widely used in developing powerful new therapies for central nervous system diseases. Coverage includes novel uses of animal models of Alzheimer‘s, Parkinson‘s, and Huntington‘s diseases, and studies of aging. Techniques that rely heavily on behavioral analyses, as well as models developed from infusions of neurotoxins and from advances in molecular biology, are thoroughly explicated, as are models developed for more acute neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injury and stroke. Comprehensive and authoritativ

Overview: This is a revised edition of Chinua Achebe (1980), a critical study of the most widely known African writer, which now incorporates a discussion of his most recent work, including his major new novel, Anthills of the Savannah. The study examines the context in which he writes - that complex intermingling of his own Igbo society and European colonialism - before undertaking a critical discussion of the five main novels, his poetry and short stories. Throughout, there is an underlying concern with Achebe‘s system of values and the pressure on them through periods of colonialism, indepe

Overview: Written by recognized experts in their field.Highlights the integrated multidimensional aspects of caring for patients with Crohn’s disease.Provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of curreCrohn’s Disease: Basic Principles provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the current diagnosis and treatment strategies for Crohn’s disease.  Care of these patients and clinical conditions can be quite complex and often require a multidisciplinary approach.  Sections of the book are based on the most current, evidenced-based resources and have been structured to review

Overview: Fast, cheap, environmentally friendly method.Flexibility, specific adaptations and resistance of cyanobacteria.Variety of mechanisms of environment depollution.Avoidance of use of toxic chemicalsThis book reflects the use of cyanobacteria for the bioremediation of wastewater through different mechanisms and pathways of transformation and transfer of hazardous substances from one medium to another. The application of microorganisms for bioremediation is determined by their ubiquity, small size, high rate of reproduction and large surface-to-volume cell ratio. Mechanisms of interaction

Overview: Written by experts in the field.Illustrates the study of centenarians as a model of positive biology.Provides contributions on epigenetic, genetic and phenotypic aspects of centenarians.This state-of-the-art review on longevity focuses on centenarians, studied as a model of positive biology...The extraordinary rise in the elderly population in developed countries underscores the importance of studies on ageing and longevity in order to decrease the medical, economic and social problems associated with the increased number of non-autonomous individuals affected by invalidating patholo

Overview: Offers an integrated view of karst processes in various coastal landforms.Includes cutting edge coastal research from leaders in the field.Examples from a broad range of island and continental shoreli.Carbonate rock coasts are found world-wide, from continental shorelines of the Adriatic Sea of Europe to the Yucatan Peninsula of North America, and on tropical islands from Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, to the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, to the Bahama Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.  Such coasts are well known for their unusual and distinctive karst landforms. Karst pr

Overview: This is a book about how Cl- crosses the cell membranes of nerve, muscle, and glial cells. Not so very many years ago, a pamphlet rather than book might have resulted from such an endeavor! One might ask why Cl-, the most abundant biological anion, attracted so little attention from investigators. The main reason was that the prevailing paradigm for cellular ion homeostasis in the 1950s and 1960s assigned Cl- a ther­ modynamically passive and unspecialized role. This view was particularly prominent among muscle and neuroscience investigators. In searching for reasons for such a negat

Overview: .This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Workshop on Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing, CASC 2019, held in Moscow, Russia, in August 2019..The 28 full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. They deal with cutting-edge research in all major disciplines of computer algebra. The papers cover topics such as polynomial algebra, symbolic and symbolic-numerical computation,  applications of symbolic computation for investigating and solving ordinary differential equations,  applications

Overview: Covers the four core subjects of motion analysis: motion estimation, detection, tracking, and 3d-interpretation.Includes an overview on the mathematical background needed for variational methods.WrittThis book presents a unified view of image motion analysis under the variational framework. Variational methods, rooted in physics and mechanics, but appearing in many other domains, such as statistics, control, and computer vision, address a problem from an optimization standpoint, i.e., they formulate it as the optimization of an objective function or functional. The methods of image m

Overview: Based on refractions of earlier beliefs, modern angels - at once terrible and comforting, frighteningly other and reassuringly beneficent - have acquired a powerful symbolic value. This interdisciplinary study looks at how humans conversed with angels in medieval and early modern Europe, and how they explained and represented these conversations.978-1-349-36260-8978-0-230-31697-3

Overview: Supports learning and teaching with many exercises with solutions.Displays clarity and precision of the used mathematics - therefore also interesting for math students.Contains a very well illustratedThe book covers the content of a typical higher undergraduate course of the theory of Quantum Mechanics. The focus is on the general principles of quantum mechanics and the clarification of its terminology: What exactly is a Hilbert space? What is a hermitean operator? A tensor product? An entangled state? In what sense does a wave function constitute a vector? A separate chapter discuss

Overview: Die Cash-Flow-Steuer als Reformalternative zur Einkommensteuer wird seit geraumer Zeit diskutiert. Die USA sind jedoch bisher das einzige Land, das -insbesondere seit 1995 - konkrete Steuervorschläge in den politischen Gesetzgebungsprozess eingebracht hat. Ein Vergleich mit der Umsatzsteuer ist in diesem Kontext interessant, weil sie als eine Form der Cash-Flow-Steuer angesehen werden kann und zudem bereits in vielen Ländern außerhalb der USA etabliert ist. Hierdurch ergeben sich wesentliche Erkenntnisse für die Ausgestaltung und einen möglichen rechtlichen Regelungsbedarf der Steuer

Overview: How did European imperialism shape the ideas and practices of religion in East and Southeast Asia? Casting Faiths brings together eleven scholars to show how Western law, governance, education and mission shaped the basic understanding of what religion is, and what role it should play in society.978-0-230-23545-8

Overview: The concept of conditional specification is not new. It is likely that earlier investigators in this area were deterred by computational difficulties encountered in the analysis of data following con­ ditionally specified models. Readily available computing power has swept away that roadblock. A broad spectrum of new flexible models may now be added to the researcher‘s tool box. This mono­ graph provides a preliminary guide to these models. Further development of inferential techniques, especially those involving concomitant variables, is clearly called for. We are grateful for inval
