Overview: In 1970 I gave up the chairmanship of the Department of Pharmacology at Stanford University Schoel of Medicine to devote full time to basic and clinical research on problems of drug addiction. In 1971 I developed the method of radioligand binding that led to the important characterization of opioid receptors in several laboratories. The extraordinary specificity of these receptors for morphine and related opiates suggested the likelihood that there were naturally occurring morphine-like molecules in the brain and other tissues. The systematic search for these molecules culminated in

Overview: Compiles studies about forest mammals movement that are very difficult to study due to their secretive behaviour.African forest mammals are relatively much less studied by the scientific community thaThis book brings a unique perspective to animal movement studies because all studies come from African tropical environments where the great diversity, either biological and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), present the animals with several options to fulfil their basic needs. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique movement patterns and ecological strategies.

Overview: It is a pleasure to introduce Volume 5 in the Methods in Pharmacology series. In 1971, Volume 1 of this series was published while I was Head of the Division of Myocardial Biology in the Department of Pharmacology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I dedicated that first volume to Sir Henry Hallet Dale, who died on July 23, 1968. In the Preface I pointed out that many of the pharmacological advancements that occurred during the last century were direct descendants from the classic paper published in 1910 by Professor Dale and his colleague, Dr. Barger. In this paper, th

Overview: First book to introduce and describe media literacy education in China.Opens the door for readers who want to understand and conduct research on media literacy education in China.Provides updates in tThe Chinese government has long kept tight control on both traditional and new media to prevent potential challenges to its authority. But, for better or worse, China has now reached a stage where it is difficult to exercise political hegemony through laws and regulations and the control of the mass media. China has become a global superpower and in 2011 surpassed Japan as the world’s se

Overview: This volume contains the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Magnetism and Structure in Systems of Reduced Dimension", held at l‘Institut d‘Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese - U.M.S. - C.N.R.S. - Universite de Corte­ Universite de Nice Sophia - Antipolis during June 15-19, 1992. The ordering of papers in the volume reflects the sequence of papers presented at the workshop. The aim was not to segregate the papers into rigidly defmed areas but to group the papers into small clusters, each cluster having a common theme. In this way the parallel, rather than serial,

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas – École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France.Includes a comprehensive review of recent advances in our understanding of This book presents recent advances in the physics of magnetic reconnection, investigated via both in situ spacecraft observations and fully kinetic numerical simulations. Magnetic reconnection is a  fundamental process in plasma physics during which the topological reconfiguration of the magnetic field leads to energy conversion and particle energization. The book focuses on the physics

Overview: Assumes no prior knowledge of high frequency engineering. Covers all aspects fundamentals, technologies, practical design approaches, measurements. Includes practical examples and design exercisesA broadly based introduction to high frequency and microwave engineering that covers all the important topics in this field. With the recent expansion in mobile communications and the increasing use of the microwave frequency bands for these wireless applications, attention has become focused on this area..While the treatment is from first principles, due emphasis is placed on practical appl

Overview: Analyses issues in trade law and EU pharmaceutical law concerning market access for traditional medicinal products.Discusses the topic from the standpoints of fundamental law, international law and EU.This book presents an in-depth analysis of issues in trade law and EU pharmaceutical law concerning market access for traditional Chinese medicinal products. It discusses these issues from the standpoints of fundamental law, international law and EU law, so to offer a comprehensive perspective. Specifically, it points out the core legislative issues for EU policymakers who deal with mar

Overview: Introduces the basics multi-particle system dynamics, expounding the practical techniques and the implementation of the molecular dynamics.Describes the connection between the molecular dynamics and t.This book presents computer simulations using molecular dynamics techniques in statistical physics, with a focus on macromolecular systems. The numerical methods are introduced in the form of computer algorithms and can be implemented in computers using any desired computer programming language, such as Fortran 90, C/C++, and others. The book also explains how some of these numerical me

Overview: Illustration of techniques and phenomena.Can be used as a graduate textbook.Includes supplementary material: This book covers the modular invariant theory of finite groups, the case when the characteristic of the field divides the order of the group, a theory that is more complicated than the study of the classical non-modular case. Largely self-contained, the book develops the theory from its origins up to modern results. It explores many examples, illustrating the theory and its contrast with the better understood non-modular setting. It details techniques for the computation of in

Overview: Provides a new and timely modeling approach for information diffusion in social media.Written by the experts who initiated the approach of modeling with partial differential equations (PDEs).AccessiblThe book lies at the interface of mathematics, social media analysis, and data science. Its authors aim to introduce a new dynamic modeling approach to the use of partial differential equations for describing information diffusion over online social networks. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix for the underlying social network are used to find communities (clusters)

Overview: Summarizes the latest studies in secure information using multistage multiphoton technique for realizing security at data rates.Outlines several alternative protocols associated with multiphoton crypt.This book explores alternative ways of accomplishing secure information transfer with incoherent multi-photon pulses in contrast to conventional Quantum Key Distribution techniques.

Overview: Drawing on current and future satellite data presents visible perspectives of a more efficient HAB monitoring system for the future.Emphasises practical applications, impacting on marine ecology, nati.Sometimes known as "Red Tides", some of the wide variety of phytoplankton species in the World’s oceans produce toxins which can harm marine life. In certain circumstances, these harmful algal blooms can even cause illness or death in humans. Shellfish filter feed on phytoplankton and concentrate their toxins in their bodies and people who eat them can contract life threatening food poi

Overview: This book presents a critical view of economic development in the last 50 years and evaluates different approaches taken that led to success or failure. It covers development policies, methods, procedures, as well as development project selection and how the one-size-fits-all approach taken by major players in development resulted in huge waste and disappointments. Global examples and comparisons are used to identify the need for selective strategies and new ways to assure development effectiveness.978-1-349-52572-0978-0-230-00629-4

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This Springer Brief investigates the voice and elastic/interactive data service support over cognitive radio networks (CRNs), in terms of their delay requirements. The increased demand for wireless communication conflicts with the scarcity of the radio spectrum, but CRNS allow for more efficient use of the networks. The authors review packet level delay requirements of the voice service and session level delay requirements of the elastic/interactive data services, particularly constant-rate and on-off voice traffic capacities in CRNs with centralized and
