Overview: Volume V deals with the problems of turnover in the nervous system. "Turnover" is defined in different ways, and the term is used in different contexts. It is used rather broadly in the present volume, and intentionally so. The turnover of macromolecules is only one aspect; here "turnover" in­ dicates the simultaneous and coordinated formation and breakdown of macromolecular species. The complexities of cerebral protein turnover are shown in a separate chapter dealing with the synthesis of proteins, in another on breakdown, and in still another on the relationship of these two (showi

Overview: This book represents Volume 2 in a series on the use of Mossbauer spectroscopy in the study of magnetism and materials. However, the perceptive reader will notice some differences from Volume 1. Specifically, in order to market the book at a more affordable price for most universities and research laboratories, the book has been prepared in camera­ ready format The editors and the authors agreed to do this because there is a demand for such a book in the Mossbauer community. This format has placed an extra burden on the editors and the authors and we hope we have overcome all the dif

Overview: Mitochondria are organelles in each cell outside the nucleusand are the energy source of all cells. As such, they are crucial tothe healthy functioning of cells. Recent research has shown thatmitochondrial dysfunction underlies a broad spectrum of disease, frommaternally inherited genetic disorders to metabolism defects, aging,stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson‘s,Alzheimer‘s, and Lou Gehrig‘s disease. This book brings together topresearchers whose work in examining the pathophysiologic processeswill lead to new strategies for prevention and treatment.978-1-4757-

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Natural fires can be considered as scale-dependant, non-linear processes of mass, momentum and heat transport, resulting from a turbulent reactive and radiative fluid medium flowing over a complex medium, the vegetal fuel. In natural outdoor conditions, the experimental study of natural fires at real scale needs the development of an original metrology, one able to capture the large range of time and length scales involved in its dynamic nature and also able to resist the thermal, mechanical and chemical aggression of flames on devices. Robust, accur

Overview: Digitale Räume versprechen ein Mehr an Teilhabemöglichkeiten: Optimistisch könnte man konstatieren, dass sie zu einer Demokratisierung des Diskurses beitragen. Hierfür bedarf es jedoch eines ethisch-verantwortlichen Umgangs mit digitalen Medien: Medienethische Bildung und medienethische Kompetenzen gewinnen an Bedeutung. Doch wie genau könnten und sollten entsprechende Konzepte definiert sein? Wie sollten sie ausgestaltet sein und wie können sie in die Gesellschaft hineinwirken? Im Rückgriff auf bestehende Modelle und Definitionen aus der Medienpädagogik und der Ethikdidaktik werden

Overview: This volume consists of the state-of-the-art reports on new developments in micromechanics and the modeling of nanoscale effects, and is a companion book to the recent Kluwer volume on nanomechanics and mul- scale modeling (it is entitled Trends in Nanoscale Mechanics). The two volumes grew out of a series of discussions held at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), lectures and other events shared by many researchers from the national research laboratories and academia. The key events include the 2001 Summer Series of Round-Table Discussions on Nanotechnology at ICASE Institute (NASA

Overview: Märkte für Erzeugnisse aus zweiter Hand existieren für eine Vielzahl von Produktklassen und gewinnen an Einfluss auf die entsprechenden Primärmärkte. Dennoch fanden Second hand-Märkte in der Forschung bislang nur geringe Beachtung.Martin Ohlwein analysiert in einem Gebrauchtwarenmarkt agierende Funktionsträger und Determinanten, die die Entstehung eines solchen Marktes erklären. Der Autor quantifiziert das Volumen der Transaktionen anhand ausgewählter Produktkategorien. Anschließend untersucht er die Einstellung Beteiligter sowohl auf der Nachfrager- als auch auf der Anbieterseite. A

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Knowledge of instrumentation is for experimentalists a kind of fluency in the language of measurement. But it is a fluency not so commonly possessed, and without which much of the experimental process remains hidden and mysterious. The basic goal in writing this book is to provide a treatment of useful depth of the basic elements of the instrumentation "language," namely electronics, sensors, and measurement. The present epoch is arguably a golden age for instrumentation. The crucial ingredient has been the exceptional development of semiconductor fab
