Overview: Being diagnosed with cancer is devastating. But when the cancer cells have to spread to form secondary colonies, the prognosis for the patient is worse. If meaningful improvements in survival are to occur, then control of metastasis will be a foundation. Relatively little is known about the control of the metastatic process at the molecular level. This volume begins to explore our current knowledge regarding the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms controlling the metastatic phenotype. While all of the authors attempted to put their findings into a context for translation

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Support for addressing the on-going global changes needs solutions for new scientific problems which in turn require new concepts and tools. A key issue concerns a vast variety of irreducible uncertainties, including extreme events of high multidimensional consequences, e.g., the climate change. The dilemma is concerned with enormous costs versus massive uncertainties of extreme impacts. Traditional scientific approaches rely on real observations and experiments. Yet no sufficient observations exist for new problems, and "pure" experiments, and learn

Applications in various contexts are given. A significant portion of the book is devoted to material which is important in the general area of complex analysis. In this regard, a geometric approach is used to obtain fundamental results such as the local parameterization theorem, Lelong‘ s Th

Overview: Puts China in global perspective in its efforts of mitigation and adaptation to the impact of climate change.Represents interdisciplinary work among policy, engineering, and business scholars and expeClimate change is a huge challenge to humanity in the 21th century. In view of China’s recent pledge to the international community to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, this book examines climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in China through the prism of the steel sector, and it does so from three interrelated perspectives, i.e., policy, techno

Overview: Covers all aspects of solar system aeronomy.Presents the observations and findings of many recent space missionsAndrew F. Nagy Originally published in the journal Space Science Reviews, Volume 139, Nos 1–4. DOI: 10. 1007/s11214-008-9353-0 © Springer Science+Business Media B. V. 2008 Keywords Aeronomy The term “aeronomy” has been used widely for many decades, but its origin has mostly been lost over the years. It was introduced by Sydney Chapman in a Letter to the Editor, entitled “Some Thoughts on Nomenclature”, in Nature in 1946 (Chapman 1946). In that letter he suggested that aeron

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Beiträge.Includes supplementary material: Eileen Böhner-Taute zeigt, dass signifikante Anstiege der sozialen Ungleichheiten und tendenzielle Reduktionen ethnischer Ungleichheiten über den Bildungsverlauf hinweg auch nach der Öffnung der Bildungswege zum Abitur durch alternative Wege zur Hochschulreife identifizierbar sind. Ferner variieren Übergangs- und Bestandsungleichheiten wie auch deren Entwicklung bildungssystemspezifisch. Die Autorin zeigt, dass besonders restriktiv-strikte Varianten von Schulsystemen und ebenso a

Overview: Considers Catherine of Lancaster‘s influence on poetry at the Castilian court.Explores the Baena songbook in particular.Traces transnational cultural influences in late medieval England and Castile.This book offers an integrated study of the English princess and Castilian queen Catherine of Lancaster (1373–1418), drawing on available archival, architectural, and poetic sources in England and Spain. Catherine’s mother, Queen of Castile in exile, and father, the powerful military commander John of Gaunt, raised her to take the Castilian throne. This volume connects Catherine’s early li

Overview: Summarizes fundamental issues in methane conversion for novices in the field.Illustrates examples of methane conversion without the boundary of chemical and biological catalysts.Uses basic organic andThis book introduces various types of reactions to produce chemicals by the direct conversion of methane from the point of view of mechanistic and functional aspects. The chemicals produced from methane are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as propylene and benzene, and methanol. These chemicals are created by using homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts such as zeolites,

Overview: Environmental pollution is one of the main problems to confronthumanity, with the heavy metals occupying a leading role among themost pernicious pollutants. The metals cause cancer and othersicknesses. Their cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials arenot fully understood, and any thorough investigation demands thecombined efforts of scientists drawn from many different disciplines.But the effects of heavy metals are not all negative: some, like.cis.-DDP, and some ruthenium and tin complexes, have antitumouractivity. .The idea underlying the present work is therefore to prese
