Overview: .Human immunosenescence contributes to morbidity and mortality in later life. The age-associated increasing incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease plateaus at around 80 years of age in industrialised countries, but death due to infectious disease continues to increase up to 100 years of age and beyond. Understanding the reasons for age-associated alterations to protective immunity in the elderly would facilitate the development of interventions to reconstitute appropriate immune function, increase responsiveness to vaccination and extend healthspan. The majority of the papers

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: ​Familienunternehmen sind von zentraler volkswirtschaftlicher Bedeutung, sodass auch aus theoretischer wie praktischer Sicht von Relevanz ist, die Innovationstätigkeiten und -fähigkeit dieses Unternehmenstypus zu verstehen. Die wenigen Forschungsergebnisse zu dieser Thematik weisen widersprüchliche Ergebnisse auf, sodass einerseits anzunehmen ist, dass Familienunternehmen wandlungsresistent sind und in Traditionen verharren, andererseits kommen einige Studien auch zu dem Ergebnis, dass Familienunternehmen von großer

Overview: Combines innovative sociological theory with Islamic studies.Reviews the modernisation theoretical understanding of Islamic history.Opposes the hegemony of the identity politics debates of our timeThis book combines sociological theorising with studies on the Middle East and Islam. The diversity of modernities that can be observed in our world is linked to the claim of living in a global modernity, in a world society. The book underpins this claim with numerous excursions into Islamic history. It criticises the view that modernisation can be equated with westernisation and considers

Overview: This well-illustrated book examines in detail the role of integrated cardiothoracic imaging, made possible by the development of fast scanning technologies.Relevant technological and anatomical backgr.The development of fast scanning techniques and ultrahigh temporal resolution, which can be employed for both ECG-gated and nongated examinations of the chest, has made integrated cardiothoracic imaging a reality. This timely, well-illustrated book, written by recognized experts in the field, addresses the potential value of such imaging. The first and second parts discuss the technolog

Overview: A strong technical reference book for both students and engineers.Authors are well-respected in their fieldThe topics of control engineering and signal processing continue to flourish and develop. In common with general scientific investigation, new ideas, concepts and interpretations emerge quite spontaneously and these are then discussed, used, discarded or subsumed into the prevailing subject paradigm. Sometimes these innovative concepts coalesce into a new sub-discipline within the broad subject tapestry ofcontrol and signal processing. This preliminary batde between old and new

Overview: An immunological approach to the treatment of cancer has many theoretical features to commend it. There should be specificity, so that tumour cells alone are destroyed whilst normal tissues are unaffected. Provided the tumour is uni­ form and all of the cells have appropriate antigens, every malignant cell should be destroyed and even distant metastases dealt with. So far these speculative advantages are unfulfilled and the initial optimism that surrounded im­ munotherapy has not been sustained. Acceptance of the precepts of tumour im­ munology continues but these disappointing obser
