Overview: Serves as a comprehensive review of all known immune mechanisms for common medically important fungal pathogens from the organ perspectives of the human body.Related to host defense mechanisms against.Fungal immunology, an expanding field of research, studies the interaction between fungi and the immune system. Modulated immunity as well as evasive mechanisms played by fungi all contribute to the chronicity and reoccurrence of fungal infections. Hypersensitivity to various fungal elements plays a major role in the pathogenesis of many diseases...This book will serve as a comprehensiv

Overview: Seven years have elapsed since Dr. Renee Ford, editor-in-chief of Materials Technology, first suggested to me to publish a book on Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). She said that the FGM concept, then largely unknown outside of Japan and a relatively few laboratories elsewhere, would be of great interest to everyone working in the materials field because of its potentially universal applicability. There was no book about FGMs in English at that time, although the number of research papers, review articles, and FGM conference proceedings had been increasing yearly. We discussed wh

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The Tenth LMS-EPSRC Numerical Analysis Summer School was held at the University of Durham, UK, from the 7th to the 19th of July 2002. This was the second of these schools to be held in Durham, having previously been hosted by the University of Lancaster and the University of Leicester. The purpose of the summer school was to present high quality instructional courses on topics at the forefront of numerical analysis research to postgraduate students. The speakers were Franco Brezzi, Gerd Dziuk, Nick Gould, Ernst Hairer, Tom Hou and Volker Mehrmann. Thi

Overview: Up-to-date results.Fast track conference proceedings.State-of-the-art resultsAll modern industries rely on large and complex software systems. In order toconstruct such large systems in a systematic manner, the focus of the developmentmethodologies has switched in the last two decades from functional to structuralissues. Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification ofmedium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their applicationto the development of large systems requires a greater emphasis on specification,modeling, and validation techniques s

Overview: Provides a unique and up to date collection of facts about the physical nature of distant faint objects.Greatly enhances the appreciation of the visual appearance of a faint object in the eyepiece.HasFaint Objects and How to Observe Them is for visual observers who are equipped with a 10-inch or larger astronomical telescope and who want to "go deep" with their observing. It provides a guide to some of the most distant, dim, and rarely observed objects in the sky, supported by background information on surveys and objects lists - some familiar, such as Caldwell, and some not so famil

Overview: Sheds light on the deepest mysteries of Quantum Mechanics.Authored by world-leaders in quantum theory and beyond.Published in honor of Dieter Zeh, pioneer of decoherence theory.Quantum theory is at the foundation of the physical description of our world. One of the people who contributed significantly to our conceptual understanding of this theory was Heinz-Dieter Zeh (1932-2018).  He was the pioneer of the process of decoherence, through which the classical appearance of our world can be understood. This volume presents a collection of essays dedicated to his memory, written by dist

They cover topics such as: concurrent programming; security; probabilities, time and other resources; and model-based testing and petri nets

Overview: The history of biology is replete with examples of how comparative biology helped clarify the meaning of structure and function in complex animals. Indeed, without the comparative approach to biology, the birth of physiology would have been delayed. Fishman (1979) Comparative morphologists are challenged to discern the changes that have occurred in evolution and development of the forms and states of organisms as well as to explain the factors that compelled them (e.g. Dullemeijer 1974). The main objective of this contribution is to present what I deem to be some of the fundamental s

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-27252-7978-3-662-28738-5

Overview: Provides wide-ranging and thorough examples and explanations of how and why bubbles and crashes have historically developed and are tied to money, credit, trust, psychology, risk preferences, behavior. .Economists broadly define financial asset price bubbles as episodes in which prices rise with notable rapidity and depart from historically established asset valuation multiples and relationships. Financial economists have for decades attempted to study and interpret bubbles through the prisms of rational expectations, efficient markets, equilibrium, arbitrage, and capital asset prici

Overview: The properties of fats and the characteristics of some food products based on fats have been documented in several books. Individual fats such as milkfat, however, have received less attention despite many successful initiatives to increase their utilization in food products. Moreover, the availability of data on the function of fats in the context of major manufactured food products has often been constrained by the general reluctance of manufacturers to disclose details of working practices. In some areas, such as yellow fat spreads, the market has changed dramatically over the las

Overview: .This book brings together a set of analytical and empirical essays aimed at understanding inclusive finance in emerging markets focusing on Asia. Despite the significant policy interest in the issue of financial inclusion in the Asian market, there is a dearth of academic literature on the topic. This book fills this gap by being the first of its kind to address the relevant issues and policy concerns relating to the availability and affordability of financial services in this rapidly emerging geopolitical area. The book features a mixture of empirical and case study oriented essays

Overview: This book is based on the 20th Study Group of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, which concerned the important topic of fetal growth. Basic scientific, and both obstetric and paediatric aspects of the subject were addressed in contributions from many different disciplines, and we are greatly indebted to all the international experts who took part in this workshop at the RCOG in London in November 1988. The deliberations covered the broad topics of normal fetal growth, fetal over­ growth and undergrowth. Clinical implications of these entities, especially fetal und
