Overview: Comprehensive look at the pathology and biology of retinal inflammation.Written by current, respected opthamologists and eye researchers.Reports on age-related degeneration, gene-associations, and othNumerous studies have pointed to the key role of complement in the pathogenesis of retinal disease, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Reports about new gene associations and links to other physiological pathways are emerging almost on a weekly base. Several promising clinical candidates covering a wide area of potential treatment applications are in the pipelines of bo

Overview: .Questo libro è una galleria estremamente variegata di ironiche riflessioni sul mondo accademico, di lievi aneddoti, di pacate provocazioni, di appunti di viaggi, di ritratti di matematici famosi, sospesi tra scherzo e serietà, tra sogno e realtà. Aprono la raccolta due squisite fantasie di Arthur Porges e Arthur Koestler, seguite da racconti scritti da matematici di professione, che hanno per hobby la letteratura, ispirati a personaggi e fatti, a emozioni e fantasie legati al mondo della matematica. Docenti, ricercatori e studenti di matematica potranno riconoscere, con gusto e part

Overview: For more than two decades percolation theory, random walks, interacting parti­ cle systems and topics related to statistical mechanics have experienced inten­ sive growth. In the last several years, especially remarkable progress has been made in a number of directions, such as: Wulff constructions above two dimen­ sions for percolation, Potts and Ising models, classification of random walks in random environments, better understanding of fluctuations in two dimen­ sional growth processes, the introduction and remarkable uses of the Stochastic Loewner Equation, the rigorous derivatio

Overview: Introduction to the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Method for Electromagnetics provides a comprehensive tutorial of the most widely used method for solving Maxwell‘s equations -- the Finite Difference Time-Domain Method. This book is an essential guide for students, researchers, and professional engineers who want to gain a fundamental knowledge of the FDTD method. It can accompany an undergraduate or entry-level graduate course or be used for self-study. The book provides all the background required to either research or apply the FDTD method for the solution of Maxwell‘s equa

Overview: Presents recent research on modeling and control of large nuclear reactors.Includes control scheme representations to enable a quick understanding of control techniques.Compares control techniques to .This book examines the different spatial control techniques for regulation of spatial power distribution in advanced heavy water reactors (AHWR). It begins with a review of the literature pertinent to the modeling and control of large reactors. It also offers a nodal-core model based on finite difference approximation since the AHWR core is considered to be divided into 17 relatively la

Overview: Situates embodied commerce and intimate labor within the geographic, temporal, and cultural context of the global economy.Draws on debates on "immaterial labor" to address the theoretical and moral qu.This book illustrates how intimate workers in differentsocio-cultural contexts negotiate the commercial uses of their sexuality,identity, affect, and bodies, thereby often defying inequality, impoverishment,  and resource depletion in their regions. The studies shed light on themulti-faceted experiences of subjects involved in intimate economies,oscillating between personal empowerment

Overview: Contains a clear exposition of the mathematical structure of isogeometric analysis.Contains a very illustrative application to the Navier Stokes equation.The format of courses is well-balanced with anProviding an introduction to isogeometric methods with a focus on their mathematical foundations, this book is composed of four chapters, each devoted to a topic of special interests for isogeometric methods and their theoretical understanding. It contains a tutorial on splines and generalizations that are used in CAD parametrizations, and gives an overview of geometric modeling techniqu

Overview: Recently, much attention has been paid to image processing withmultiresolution and hierarchical structures such as pyramids andtrees. This volume deals with recursive pyramids, which combine theadvantages of available multiresolution structures and which areconvenient both for global and local image processing. Recursivepyramids are based on regular hierarchical (recursive) structurescontaining data on image fragments of different sizes. Such an imagerepresentation technique enables the effective manipulation ofpictorial information as well as the development of special hardwareor da

Overview: Bringing the eastern European economies in transition (defined more precisely in the Introduction) under the economic, political, and secu­ rity umbrella of the European Union (ED) has been an ambition of many of these countries from the very start of the so-called annus mirabilis in 1989. The road to gratification of this aspiration since then has been rather bumpy, however one wants to look at recent events. Indeed, since 1989 the relationship between the EU and the economies in transition has been ebbing and flowing with the evolution of two main strands of policy stances in the E

Zum anderen wird das bestehende Verhältnis zwisch

Overview: The development of international financial centers (IFCs) has paralleled the rapid expansion of international banking and Eurocurrency activities. During the past decade and a half, the international banking and financial markets have experienced phenomenal growth along with the parallel expansion of IFCs. The size of the Eurocurrency market grew from $110 billion in 1970 to over $4,000 billion by 1987, while the total international assets of all banking institutions rose from $130 billion to $4,800 billion during the same period. Some of the preeminent IFCs are playing a major role
