Overview: Catecholamines 1922 -1971 H. BLASCHKO Adrenaline and related substances were discussed in the 1924 edition of Hefl‘ter‘s Handbook by PAUL TRENDELENBURG. On 164 pages he described what was then known not only of adrenaline and its closest relatives but also of the sympathomimetic compounds such as tyramine and ephedrine. When the present Editors of the Handbook entrusted us with the task of editing the present Volume it was decided to restrict it to adrenaline and the other naturally occurring catecholamines. The sympathomimetic amines in general will be discussed only in their relati

Overview: As President of International MacGregor I am deeply indebted to the authors of this excellent book for the very considerable amount of work and scholarship it contains. It is the first authoritative work on cargo access equipment to be pubbshed and I am sure that it will be greatly welcomed by the Marine Industries. You will see from the authors‘ preface that the book was commissioned by the Henri Kummerman Foundation which was established in 1976 to assist and promote internationally research and development in the field of marine transportation and cargo handling. The Foundation ha

Overview: Coming of Age in Times of Crisis is an anthropological study of the intersecting roles of gender and schooling in the lives of rural Venezuelan youth as they make the transition to adulthood during times of national political and economic crisis. Strongly grounded in local detail while speaking to larger comparative issues and the crises that surround globalization, the study enables us to see how gender roles and social class are reproduced in a culture experiencing profound upheaval, and to see how rural Venezuelans have managed to reproduce and change their culture in these circum

Overview: Summarizes state-of-the-art of cellulose fibers.Gives applications in green technology.Renowned international authorship.Includes supplementary material: .Because we are living in an era of Green Science and Technology, developments in the field of bio- and nano- polymer composite materials for advanced structural and medical applications is a rapidly emerging area and the subject of scientific attention. In light of the continuously deteriorating environmental conditions, researchers all over the world have focused an enormous amount of scientific research towards bio-based material

Overview: Covers all important concrete fracture models with numerical examples.Is totally new and covers the latest research works carried out regarding behavior of fracture parameters of concrete.Readers can .Cementitious materials, rocks and fibre-reinforced composites commonly termed as .quasibrittle., need a different fracture mechanics approach to model the crack propagation study because of the presence of significant size of fracture process zone ahead of the crack-tip. Recent studies show that concrete structures manifest three important stages in fracture process: crack initiation, s

Overview: Explores the lives‘of astronomers and science writers and their complex inter-relationships between psyche and soma.Recognises the impact of existential trauma, life threatening illness and psychoacti.This book argues that while the historiography of the development of scientific ideas has for some time acknowledged the important influences of socio-cultural and material contexts, the significant impact of traumatic events, life threatening illnesses and other psychotropic stimuli on the development of scientific thought may not have been fully recognised. Howard Carlton examines the

Overview: Unique collection of contributions at the frontier between mathematics and computer scienceIt has long been recognized that there are fascinating connections between cod­ ing theory, cryptology, and combinatorics. Therefore it seemed desirable to us to organize a conference that brings together experts from these three areas for a fruitful exchange of ideas. We decided on a venue in the Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) region, one of the most scenic areas of China, so as to provide the additional inducement of an attractive location. The conference was planned for June 2003 with the offi

Overview: Photobiology is an important area of biological research sincea very large number of living processes are either dependent on orgoverned by light that we receive from the Sun. Among varioussubjects, photosynthesis is one of the most important, and thus apopular topic in both molecular and organismic biology, and one whichhas made a considerable impact throughout the world since almost alllife on Earth depends upon it as a source of food, fuel and oxygen.However, for growth of plants, light is equally essential, andresearch on photomorphogenesis has revealed exciting new developmentsw

Overview: Specifically for the pump user, this book concentrates on theidentification and solution of problems associated with existingcentrifugal pumps. It gives specific examples on how to modify pumpperformance for increased efficiency and better quality control,which turn into long-term cost savings. Some basic theory is includedto give the reader greater understanding of the problems beingencountered and attacked.978-1-4612-8516-8978-1-4613-1217-8

Overview: How can one think about a thing, think something false aboutit, and still be thinking about that thing at all? If a concept isapplied to something outside its meaning, how are we to say it doesnot mean that thing as well? The problem of misrepresentation is oneof the central issues in contemporary philosophy of mind. Here, MarkPerlman criticizes the way all contemporary theories of mentalrepresentation seek to account for misrepresentation, concluding thatit cannot be explained naturistically. Specifically, Perlman evaluatesand criticizes the theories of mental content proposed by Fo

Overview: Das Thema Chargenverfolgung wird je nach Branche und Anwendungsgebiet kontrovers diskutiert, insbesondere die effiziente Koordination und Verbesserung von Prozessen durch Identifikation, Ortung und Zustandsüberwachung von Flussobjekten. In diesem Zusammenhang sind folgende Fragen entscheidend: Welche Technologien, d.h. welche Hardware, Signalstärken, Reichweiten und Umgebungstoleranzen sind im Unternehmensumfeld erforderlich? Wie sehen das Datenmodell und die Schnittstellen aus? Ist die nahtlose Anbindung an das vorhandene ERP-System zu schaffen und ist Chargenverfolgung gesetzlich v

Overview: As networks of video cameras are installed in many applications like security and surveillance, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and assisted living facilities, among others, image understanding in camera networks is becoming an important area of research and technology development. There are many challenges that need to be addressed in the process. Some of them are listed below: - Traditional computer vision challenges in tracking and recognition, robustness to pose, illumination, occlusion, clutter, recognition of objects, and activities; - Aggregating local information
