Overview: Immunochemistry, recently rechristened molecular immunology, has been pre­ occupied throughout its long history with the structure and function of antibodies and the specificity of antibody-antigen reactions. With the recent X-ray diffrac­ of several crystallized immunoglobulin (Ig) fragments and a whole tion analyses Ig molecule, the three-dimensional structure of antibodies and their ligand­ combining sites has been realized, marking the concluding stages of a phase of immunological research that can be traced back at least 75 years. At the same time chemically minded immunologists

Overview: Key sectors of modern economies depend highly on ICT. The information flowing through the resulting technological super-infrastructure as well as the information being processed by the complex computing systems that underpin it becomes crucial because its disruption, disturbance or loss can lead to high financial, material and, sometimes, human loss. As a consequence, the security and dependability of this infrastructure become critical and its protection a major objective for governments, companies and the research community. CRITIS has been born as an event that aims to bring toget

Overview: .During the last decades, considerable progress has been observed in all aspects regarding the study of cooperative systems including modeling of cooperative systems, resource allocation, discrete event driven dynamical control, continuous and hybrid dynamical control, and theory of the interaction of information, control, and hierarchy. Solution methods have been proposed using control and optimization approaches, emergent rule based techniques, game theoretic and team theoretic approaches. Measures of performance have been suggested that include the effects of hierarchies and infor

Overview: In recent years, India has emerged as a major economic and political power. Yet, the country‘s cultural influence outside India has not been adequately analyzed in academic discourses. This book, a pioneering attempt, from an international communication/media perspective, is aimed to fill the existing gap in scholarship in this area.978-1-349-43981-2978-1-137-02789-4Series ISSN 2731-3883 Series E-ISSN 2731-3891

Overview: Im Business-to-Business-Bereich sind Geschäftsbeziehungen von herausragender Bedeutung. Zwar unterscheiden sie sich in vielerlei Hinsicht, doch basieren sie alle auf einer mehr oder weniger starken „inneren Verbindung“ (commitment)zwischen den Geschäftspartnern. Da bisherige, überwiegend auf sozial- und organisationspsychologische Konzepte zurückgreifende Arbeiten die Besonderheiten interorganisationaler Geschäftsbeziehungen nur unzureichend berücksichtigen, sind sie nur begrenzt für den Business-to-Business-Bereich geeignet.. .Samy Saab entwickelt ein ökonomisch fundiertes Konzept,

Overview: Helpful for lecturers in engineering mathematics.Presents many exercises and solutions.Contains worked out examples.This book presents problems and solutions in calculus with curvilinear coordinates. Vector analysis can be performed in different coordinate systems, an optimal system considers the symmetry of the problem in order to reduce calculatory difficulty. The book presents the material in arbitrary orthogonal coordinates, and includes the discussion of parametrization methods as well as topics such as potential theory and integral theorems. The target audience primarily compri

Overview: Some of the simpler measurements of optical mineralogy are so precise and powerful that they give satisfaction to beginning students. Not long after mastering the strike and dip of rock surfaces with the Brunton compass, many geology students are able to determine precisely the identity of quartz, or the anorthite content of plagioclase, or the magne­ sium ratio of pyroxene with the polarizing or petrographic microscope, by means of measuring refractive index to better than one part in a thousand. Very little training and almost no theory are needed to achieve these skills. But there

Overview: Prägnante Einführung in die Themengebiete Corporate Social Responsibility und Nachhaltigkeit.Umfassendes Glossar mit ausführlicher Beschreibung der wichtigsten Begriffe, inklusive weiterführender LiteDas Buch kombiniert eine Einführung in den Inhalt und Kontext von Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) und Nachhaltigkeit mit einem umfassenden Glossar der wichtigsten Begriffe aus dem Themenfeld. Während der erste Teil die wesentlichen Argumentationslinien einer CSR-Strategie zusammenfasst, dient der zweite Teil der Schärfung der Konzepte und Begrifflichkeiten und erleichtert somit das

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Cells respond to environmental cues through a complex and dynamic network of signaling pathways that normally maintain a critical balance between cellular proliferation, differentiation, senescence, and death. One current research challenge is to identify those aberrations in signal transd- tion that directly contribute to a loss of this division-limited equilibrium and the progression to malignant transformation. The study of cell-signaling m- ecules in this context is a central component of cancer research. From the knowledge of such targets, invest
