Overview: Muscle cells provide a unique probe into the motile properties of all living systems. A full understanding of the molecular mechanisms within muscle cells is therefore important to many areas of biological research. It is now nearly 40 years since the postulation of the sliding filament model of muscle contraction yet only recently has sufficient evidence been produced to support a convincing model. This book marks a turning point in muscle research. It reviews the evidence that myosin cross-bridges do indeed swing on actin filaments during contraction, and starts to tackle the probl

Overview: Highlights the importance of phytochemicals and mitochondria in cancer prevention and therapy.Discusses updates on environmental and genetic factors causing cancer initiation and progression.Examines .This book highlights the importance of phytochemicals and mitochondria in cancer prevention and therapy. Recent scientific discoveries have identified that naturally occurring biologically active compounds (i.e. phytochemicals) target multiple steps of tumorigenesis leading to the inhibition or delay in cancer progression. Mitochondria, organelles within a cell, are a critical target fo

Overview: .Mining Very Large Databases with Parallel Processing.addresses the problem of large-scale data mining. It is aninterdisciplinary text, describing advances in the integration ofthree computer science areas, namely `intelligent‘ (machinelearning-based) data mining techniques, relational databases andparallel processing.

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciences.Includes supplementary material: ​Due to a varying product demand (changing product mix) and different production speeds, bottlenecks may shift between the stages. In that case, a simultaneous lot-sizing and scheduling of these stages is recommendable. Hence, an improved version of the General Lot-Sizing and Scheduling Problem for Multiple production Stages (GLSPMS) was developed. Moreover, several reformulation techniques were applied to this model to solve it exactly. Besides, a new meta-heuristic which combines the principles of Variab

Overview: This book had its nucleus in some lectures given by one ofus (J. O‘M. B. ) in a course on electrochemistry to students of energy conversion at the Vniversity of Pennsylvania. It was there that he met a number of people trained in chemistry, physics, biology, metallurgy, and materials science, all ofwhom wanted to know something about electrochemistry. The concept of writing a book about electrochemistry wh ich could be understood by people with very varied backgrounds was thereby engendered. The lectures were recorded and written up by Dr. Klaus Muller as a 293-page manuscript. At a

Overview: With the rapid growth in the use of computers to manipulate, process, and reason about multimedia data, the problem of how to store and retrieve such data is becoming increasingly important. Thus, although the field of multimedia database systems is only about 5 years old, it is rapidly becoming a focus for much excitement and research effort. Multimedia database systems are intended to provide unified frameworks for requesting and integrating information in a wide variety of formats, such as audio and video data, document data, and image data. Such data often have special storage re

Overview: The 1997 Symposium of the Egon-Sohmen-Foundation, which gave rise to this book, took place in the United States, on the East Coast between New Y C)rk and New Haven, more precisely in Stamford (Conn.). The original choice had been a place close to Yale University, where Egon Sohmen taught economics from 1958 to 1960, subsequent to his period at MIT. But the hotel in New Haven was closed down by a new owner-to pass through a process of creative destruction. Change of ownership-on a large scale and as a transition from public to private hands-had been the topic of the preceding Egon­ So
