Overview: The history of Tumor Immunology.How cancer cells escape the immune response.The new era of Cancer Immunotherapy. ..This book is about the escape strategies used by cancer cells to avoid the immune response of the host. The main characters of this story are the “Antigen Presenting Molecules” and the “T Lymphocytes”. The former are known as the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC): the H-2 and the HLA molecules. The latter are a subgroup of white cells travelling all over our body which are capable to distinguish between “self and non self”...Readers will know from the inside about t

Overview: At a practical level, mathematical programming under multipleobjectives has emerged as a powerful tool to assist in the process ofsearching for decisions which best satisfy a multitude of conflictingobjectives, and there are a number of distinct methodologies formulticriteria decision-making problems that exist. These methodologiescan be categorized in a variety of ways, such as form of model (e.g.linear, non-linear, stochastic), characteristics of the decision space(e.g. finite or infinite), or solution process (e.g. priorspecification of preferences or interactive). Scientists from

Overview: Viruses are major pathogens in humans, and in the organisms with which we share this planet. The massive health and economic burden these agents impose has spurred a huge research effort to understand their most intimate details. One outcome of this effort has been the production, in many but certainly not all cases, of effective vaccines and therapies. - other consequence has been the realization that we can exploit viruses and put them to work on our behalf. Viruses are still seen to have the most - tential as vehicles for gene delivery and other therapeutic applications. However,

Overview: During the past decade, geneticists have cloned scores of Mendelian disease genes and constructed a rough draft of the entire human genome. The unprecedented insights into human disease and evolution offered by mapping, cloning, and sequencing will transform medicine and agriculture. This revolution depends vitally on the contributions of applied mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists. .Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Genetic Analysis. is written to equip students in the mathematical sciences to understand and model the epidemiological and experimental data e

Overview: An der Wende zum 21. Jahrhundert ist der Gedächtnisbegriff zu einem zentralen Paradigma der Kulturwissenschaften geworden. Trotz des gegenwärtigen »Booms« der Gedächtnisforschung findet jedoch das Verhältnis von Medialität und Gedächtnis immer noch vergleichsweise wenig Beachtung. Ausgehend von der These, dass kollektive Gedächtnisse prinzipiell medial konstruiert werden, versammelt der vorliegende Band Beiträge, die aus dem an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf angesiedelten interdisziplinären Forschungsforum »Europäisches Gedächtnis. Alterität und nationale Geschichtsschreib
