Overview: Seeks to make visible men’s experience of poverty and deprivation.Draws on personal accounts of vulnerability and precarity in low income families.Provides a methodological framework for future resear.This book develops a new sociology of the intergenerational and longitudinal dynamics of men’s family participation in relation to their trajectories through poverty. By addressing the ostensible absence of men from low-income families in existing literature and policy, the authors interrogate the interconnectedness of poverty, family, and place while paying explicit attention to the tr

Overview: This second edition of the book, Modeling and Computation of Boundary-Layer Flows^ extends the topic to include compressible flows. This implies the inclusion of the energy equation and non-constant fluid properties in the continuity and momentum equations. The necessary additions are included in new chapters, leaving the first nine chapters to serve as an introduction to incompressible flows and, therefore, as a platform for the extension. This part of the book can be used for a one semester course as described below. Improvements to the incompressible flows portion of the book incl

Overview: Mathematical thorough treatment of a topical problem in soil-structure interaction For scientists in geotechnical engineering and elastic wave propagationAlthough realistic soil and rock foundations reveal noticeable deviations in their properties from homogeneity and isotropy, the model of the homogeneous isotropie elastic half-space is widely used when studying static and dynamie interactions between a defonnable foundation and structures. This is explained by significant mathematieal difficulties inherent in problems conceming mechanies of anisotropie and heterogeneous elastic bod

Overview: Applies computational methods to simulate the electrostatic interaction of protein molecules to form complexes and domains.Predicts amino acid sequences with specific physical properties.Helps to impr.This book is devoted to the physical and mathematical modeling of the formation of complexes of protein molecules. The models developed show remarkable sensitivity to the amino acid sequences of proteins, which facilitates experimental studies and allows one to reduce the associated costs by reducing the number of measurements required according to the developed criteria. These models m

Overview: This book reviews recent advances in polymer swelling resulting from the use of novel microporous composite films. It offers a new approach to understanding sorption processes in polymer-liquid systems based on the molecular structures of the sorbed molecules and the repeat unit of the sorbent polymer. It is shown how the adsorption parameters obtained in these studies relate meaningfully with the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters. This implies that these adsorption parameters have relevance not only for swelling and drying of polymers, but also for other phenomena in which molecu

Overview: Provides a comprehensive summary of current techniques for miRNA detection.Describes both the technical and clinical aspects of miRNA.Addresses the promising clinical applications of miRNA, emphasizin.This book summarizes microRNA (miRNA) biology in a variety of pathological processes, emphasizing the significant potential applications of miRNA in diagnostics and prognostics, as well as novel drug targets. The conventional techniques used for miRNA detection including standard PCR, Northern blotting, microarray and clone methods are addressed. Recent emerging strategies in miRNA dete

Overview: Seit dem Nachweis erhöhter Masern-Antikörper bei Multiple Sklerose­ Kranken durch ADAMS und IMAGAWA 1962 ist die Bedeutung ubiquitärer, in einer frühen Lebensperiode stattfindender Virusinfektionen ein Zentral­ problern der Ursachenforschung über die Multiple Sklerose (MS) geblie­ ben. ERNST KUWERT war einer der ersten Forscher, die diese Frage ernst­ haft in Angriff genommen haben, und es gibt wohl kaum einen, der sie mit vergleichbarer Konsequenz und Beharrlichkeit weiter verfolgt hat. Aus der großen Zahl der Studien über die Frage Masern und MS, die von statistischen Erhebungen bi

Overview: Recently, mobile security has garnered considerable interest in both the research community and industry due to the popularity of smartphones. The current smartphone platforms are open systems that allow application development, also for malicious parties. To protect the mobile device, its user, and other mobile ecosystem stakeholders such as network operators, application execution is controlled by a platform security architecture. This book explores how such mobile platform security architectures work. We present a generic model for mobile platform security architectures: the model

Overview: Marx is out of fashion in intellectual circles on the whole but he is increasingly seen as an astute and relevant guide to the spread of a new raw capitalism world wide. This book is a timely and lively reappraisal of Marx and the socialist experience in the light of subsequent political and intellectual developments.978-1-349-40918-1978-0-230-50448-6

Overview: Welcome to Middleware‘98 and to one of England‘s most beautiful regions. In recent years the distributed systems community has witnessed a growth in the number of conferences, leading to difficulties in tracking the literature and a consequent loss of awareness of work done by others in this important field. The aim of Middleware‘98 is to synthesise many of the smaller workshops and conferences in this area, bringing together research communities which were becoming fragmented. The conference has been designed to maximise the experience for attendees. This is reflected in the choice
