Overview: 1. INTRODUCTION This book describes a new interdisciplinary theory for explaining cultural change. In contrast to traditional evolutionist theories, the present theory stresses the fact that a culture can evolve in different directions depending on its life conditions. Cultural selection theory explains why certain cultures or cultural ele­ ments spread, possibly at the expense of other cultures or cultural elements which then disappear. Cultural elements include social structure, traditions, religion, rituals, art, norms, morals, ideologies, ideas, inventions, knowledge, technology,

Overview: Cyanobacterial symbioses are no longer regarded as mereoddities but as important components of the biosphere, occurring bothin terrestrial and aquatic habitats worldwide. It is becoming apparentthat they can enter into symbiosis with a wider variety of organismsthan hitherto known, and there are many more still to be discovered,particularly in marine environments. The chapters cover cyanobacterialsymbioses with plants (algae, bryophytes, Azolla, cycads, Gunnera),cyanobacterial symbioses in marine environments, lichens,Nostoc-Geosiphon (a fungus closely related to arbuscular mycorrhiz

Overview: About two centuries after the communication by Sir Percival Pott that the "chimney sweeper disease" was a cancer and its suggestion that active compounds of soot were the causative agents, and about one century after the description of urinary bladder cancer in dye workers, an enormous number of substances have been synthesized and have probably come into contact with man. Research in cancer prevention is of primary importance, and may receive continuous support from new discoveries on cancer etiology and pathogenesis. If one accepts the multistage model of chemical carcinogenesis, o

Overview: In the past, coronary arteriography was the only modalityavailable to provide high quality images of the coronary anatomy.Quantitative coronary arteriography (QCA) was developed, implemented,validated and extensively applied to obtain accurate and reproducibledata about coronary morphology and the functional significance ofcoronary obstructions. Over the last few years extensive basictechnological research supported by clinical investigations hascreated competing modalities to visualize coronary morphology and theassociated perfusion of the myocardial muscle. Currently, thefollowing

Overview: People make use of software applications in their activities, applying them as tools in carrying out tasks. That this use should be good for people--easy, effective, efficient, and enjoyable--is a principal goal of design. In this book, we present the notion of Conceptual Models, and argue that Conceptual Models are core to achieving good design. From years of helping companies create software applications, we have come to believe that building applications without Conceptual Models is just asking for designs that will be confusing and difficult to learn, remember, and use. We show h

Overview: This volume arose originally from the complaints of the editor‘s students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, that there was no modern book on protein fibers which told enough about protein science and chemical tech­ nologies related to fibers. By and large this is probably a reasonable cri de coeur. The undergraduate on a technological course, lacking information on the basic scientific techniques used to carry out the research on which his fiber technology is based, can find it difficult to obtain this information. The pure science undergraduate often lacks knowledge of the appli

Overview: Provides an original framework to explain and address the legitimacy crisis facing investment arbitration.Provides an in-depth study of CETA‘s Investment Chapter and, ultimately, a convincing account .This book provides a comprehensive account of the CETA Investment Chapter’s ability to overcome the legitimacy crisis facing investment arbitration. To do so, it first examines the root causes behind the legitimacy crisis, ultimately arguing that it reflects a fundamental rule of law crisis within investment arbitration. In particular, it asserts that the normative standpoints of the le

Overview: MOTOOMI NAKAMURA As we approach the 21st century, ischemic heart disease is the major cause of death in most of the developed nations of the world. Since the 1970s, much effort and expense have led to designs of coronary thrombolytic therapy, percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA), coronary artery bypass grafting, heart transplantation, automatic defibrillators, as well as to the formation of beta blockers and com­ pounds which block the calcium channel. Socio-educational programs directed at exercise, diet, instruction in the risk factors of smoking, hyperlipidemia and hypertensio

Overview: The present volume finalizes the coverage of organocopper compounds. A complete formula and ligand index for the Gmelin organocopper series will appear shortly as" Organa­ copper Compounds" 5. The volume describes mononuclear compounds with ligands bonded by two or more carbon atoms as well as all di- to octanuclear and polymeric compounds. Mononuclear compounds with ligands bonded by one carbon atom have already been described in Vol­ umes 1 (published in 1985), 2 (published in 1983), and 3 (published in 1986). As structural elucidation in organocopper chemistry gained more attentio

Overview: Although many books deal with isolated problems of calcium disturbance in relation to cardiac and cerebral function, this is the first to focus specifically on calcium metabolism and cerebral ischemia. Internationally acknowledged experts present recent data and new concepts in an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. They examine basic information on the pathophysiology of cellular events, the damage caused by excitotoxic substances, and the effects of calcium antagonistic drugs as measured in experimental animals. These contributions may help lead to possible therapeutic inter
