Overview: Describes high impact and unique encounters that affected the career development and composed the stepping stones of physician-scientists.This volume will help enhance the public understanding of the .Physician-scientists are unusual creatures. While we are drawn to the clinical challenges of our patients, we are also drawn to the opportunities that our patients’ medical problems bring to science. This book contains the unique experiences and encounters that drew 20 accomplished physician-scientists to this profession. These personal stories are those of people and circumstances that

Overview: Provides an algebraic framework and fundametal results of Media Theory.Reference for e-games, e-learning, e-genetics.Includes supplementary material: The focus of this book is a mathematical structure modeling a physical or biological system that can be in any of a number of ‘states. ’ Each state is characterized by a set of binary features, and di?ers from some other nei- bor state or states by just one of those features. In some situations, what distinguishes a state S from a neighbor state T is that S has a particular f- ture that T does not have. A familiar example is a partial s

Overview: Examines media representations of everyday sustainable living.Analyses popular television shows and personalities such as Kevin McCloud and Grand Designs, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Hugh’s Wa.This book analyses representations of sustainable everyday life across advertising, eco-reality television, newspapers, magazines and social media. It foregrounds the discursive and networked basis of sustainability and demonstrates how such media representations connect the home and local community to broader political, social and economic contexts. The book shows how green lifestyle m

Overview: Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is an initiative proposedby the Object M- agement Group (OMG) for platform-generic software development. MDA s- arates the speci?cation of system functionality from the implementation on a speci?c platform. It is aimed at making software assets more resilient to changes caused by emerging technologies. While stressing the importance of modeling, the MDA initiative covers a wide spectrum of research areas. Further e?orts are required to bring them into a coherent approach based on open standards and supported by matured tools and techniques. Thisvolumec

Overview: The principles of fluorescence spectroscopy are by now well established, and, after a rather lengthy gestation period, the technique is now routinely applied to a broad spectrum of problems, ranging from mechanistic photo­ chemistry to chemical analyses in biomedical and environmental systems of structure and function in biological macromolecules. Phosphor­ to probes escence spectrometry and chemiluminescence are also well-known tech­ niques; they are somewhat less well established than fluorescence (at least in analytical chemistry), but they too are receiving greatly increased appl

Overview: .Marine Ecological Processes. is a modern review and synthesis of marine ecology that provides the reader - particularly the graduate student - with a lucid introduction to the intellectual concepts, approaches, and methods of this evolving discipline. Comprehensive in its coverage, this book focuses on the processes controlling marine ecosystems, communities, and populations and demonstrates how general ecological principles - derived from terrestrial and freshwater systems as well - apply to marine ecosystems. Numerous illustrations, examples, and references clearly impart to the r

Overview: High quality selected papers.Unique visibility.State of the art researchThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Model-Based Methodologies for Pervasive and Embedded Software, MOMPES 2012, held in Essen, Germany, in September 2012. .The 7 revised full papers presented together with 1 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. The papers cover a large spectrum of topics including model-driven engineering, model analysis, runtime verification, modeling of reactive systems, variability mode

Overview: The first book that reviews dramatic recent progress in understanding of the role of mycorrhizal networks in plant nutrition.Proposes new testing to expand understanding of carbon movement between pla.The last 25 years have seen significant advances in our understanding of the mycorrhizal fungi that colonize most of the world’s plants, and the mycorrhizal networks that form and extend into the soil beyond plant roots. In addition to a thorough review of recent research on mycorrhizal networks, this book provides readers with alternative perspectives. The book is organized into three

Overview: Presents a mathematical theory of open fluid systems in the context of continuum thermodynamics.Develops a concept of weak solutions based on entropy rather than the energy balance equation.Considers The goal of this monograph is to develop a mathematical theory of open fluid systems in the framework of continuum thermodynamics. Part I discusses the difference between open and closed fluid systems and introduces the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system as the mathematical model of a fluid in motion that will be used throughout the text. A class of generalized solutions to the Navier-Stokes-F

Overview: Publication in the field of social sciences.Includes supplementary material: Chiara Pierobon analyzes the relationship existing between political youth organizations, music and national identity in contemporary Russia. In particular she focuses the most important political youth organizations present in the city of St. Petersburg and describes their contribution to the conceptualization of post-Soviet national identity(ies), as captured through an analysis of their music. The book distinguishes itself for its conceptualization of music and provides new empirical insights into the use

Overview: Die Veränderung der Wettbewerbsbedingungen durch Qualitätsangleichung und Kostendruck machen es auch für Industrieunternehmen notwendig, über neue Formen von Differenzierung und Behauptung im Markt nachzudenken.
