Overview: This book is based on an international symposium titled "Cytochrome oxidase in energy metabolism and Alzheimer‘s disease," held as a satellite to the 27th meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, New Orleans, 1997. The symposium was dedicated in honor of Dr. Margaret T. T. Wong-Riley because, in our opinion, the cytochrome oxidase histo­ chemical method introduced by Dr. Wong-Riley in 1979 was the most significant break­ through to map energy metabolism in the entire brain since the 2-deoxyglucose method introduced by Dr. Louis Sokoloff and colleagues in 1977. Both of these metabolic

Overview: Provides a series of structured, focused, comparative case studies of military interventions from Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire, and Mali.Operationalizes Qualitative Comparative Analysis methods in the This book explores the impact and efficiency of Western intervention in African civil wars. Emphasizing the relational conditions to the study of interventions, it posits the importance of historical, institutional relationships not just in the decision to intervene but also in the process of intervention and its outcome. Drawing from case studies of American and European intervention in

Overview: Presents a valuable collection of essays by Confucianism scholars.Includes detailed discussions of Confucianism, centered on its "Theory" and "Practice".Shows the prospects of Confucianism, both in Ch​​This volume focuses on contemporary Confucianism, and collects essays by famous sinologists such as Guy Alitto, John Makeham, Tse-ki Hon and others. The content is divided into three sections – addressing the “theory” and “practice” of contemporary Confucianism, as well as how the two relate to each other – to provide readers a more meaningful understanding of contemporary Confucianism

Overview: The mathematical theory of wave propagation along a conductor with an external coaxial return is very old, going back to the work of Rayleigh, Heaviside, and J. J. Thomson. These words were written by S. A. Schelkunoff back in 1934. Indeed, those early works dealt with signal propagation along the line as well as electromagnetic shielding of the environment inside and/or outside the metallic enclosures. Max­ well himself developed pioneering studies of single-layer shielding shells, while a paper with such a "modern" title as "On the Magnetic Shielding of Concentric Spherical Shells"

Overview: Offers a provocative challenge to the modern celebration of Nature.Provides an analysis of discourses on Nature, from Greek and Latin philosophers to the present day.Features a series of case studies.This book challenges the Western contemporary “praise for Nature”. From food to body practices, from ecological discourses to the Covid-19 pandemic, contemporary imaginaries abound with representations of an ideal “pure Nature”, essentially defined according to a logic of denial of any artificial, modified, manipulated — in short, cultural — aspect..How should we contextualise and unders

Overview: The topics in this book represent the presentations given at the Fifth Annual Meeting entitled "Cardiac Surgery: Current Issues" held at the Frenchman‘s Reef Beach Resort, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, November 18-20, 1993. This symposium was sponsored by the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the School of Cardiovascular Perfusion and the Department of Nursing Education and Quality Assurance of Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Camden, New Jersey, as well as the Academy of Medici

Overview: Clarifies the presence of an indigenous feminist philosophy, namely Chihera.Highlights the relevance of the Chihera philosophy to women‘s liberation in Zimbabwe, Africa, and beyond.Showcases the prese.Zimbabwean social media has been awash with images of a woman character, spirit, or concept called Chihera. Traditionally, a woman descending from the Mhofu (Eland) lineage/totem is known as Chihera.  In the cumulative tradition of the Shona (a Zimbabwean ethnic group), Chihera is a fiercely independent, assertive, free spirited, and no nonsense woman.  ..This volume seeks to deepen ref

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the expertsThis second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updated chapters in model systems and new crops. The book contains protocols for plastid engineering in leaves, tissue culture cells, and the shoot apex of plants, as well as for marker excision from the plastid genome and engineering Rubisco, the key enzyme of photosynthesis. Written in the highly successful .Methods in Molecular Biology. series format,

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Leading investigators and clinicians detail the different mechanisms used by tumors to escape and impair the immune system and then spell out possible clinical strategies to prevent or reverse tumor-induced immune dysfunction. The authors review the mechanisms of immune dysfunction and evasion mechanisms in histologically diverse human tumors, focusing on tumor-induced molecular defects in T cells and antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells and tumors), that may serve as biomarkers for patient prognosis. They discuss the means by which these immune

Overview: This chapter deals with so me surgical uses of an air-powered bone-biter, Ronjair®. The to01 has been developed in response to the need to prevent hand cramping, blisters, fatigue, and consequent cIumsiness after extensive bone removal. The Instru­ ment, which has been in operative use since April 1971, has also proved to be more precisely controllable by the surgeon than comparable hand-powered instruments. The instrument is a new Air Instrument conceived with considerable attention, to full contral of the biting tips, to versatility and ease of use. Still, a little directed learnin
