Overview: Readers of this book on mentoring won’t find a guidebook with easy to fulfill checklists, but rather one that draws on rich and varied theory to propose a mentoring relationship that is not only egaliThis book is for higher education faculty and staff who wish to deepen their approach to mentoring all students, but it is especially concerned with “outsider” students – those who come from groups that were long excluded from higher education, and who have been marginalized and minoritized by society and academia. Mentoring is difficult work for an abundance of reasons, and – given high

Overview: This year we remember the 39th anniversary of the atomic bomb explo­ sions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which led to the exposure of thou­ sands of people to high doses of ionizing radiations. Nearly 18 years earlier, on the 15th of September, 1927, H. J. Muller presented his paper The Problem of Genic Modification at the Fifth International Congress of Genetics in Berlin, in which he brilliantly demonstrated the muta­ genic activity of X-rays. In 1928, K. H. Bauer formulated his mutation theory of the origin of cancer, and already in 1914, Th. Boveri speculat­ ed that tumor cells orig

Overview: .Mechanisms of Heart Failure. is based on papers selectedfrom poster presentations made at the International Conference onHeart Failure, Winnipeg, May 20-23, 1994. Although the entirebook is one continuous discussion of subcellular mechanisms of heartfailure and its treatment, the presentation has been divided intothree sections: the opening section on the subcellular basis of heartfailure includes discussions of cytokines, signal transduction,metabolism, extracellular matrix, organ level changes and newerapproaches to understanding the pathogenesis of heart failure. Thesecond sectio

Overview: Presents the basics of plastic deformation of rocks and minerals.Targeted to students but also to researchers working in experimental rock mechanisms and to structural geologists trying to understand This book sets out the basic materials science needed for understanding the plastic deformation of rocks and minerals.  Although at atmospheric pressure or at relatively low environmental pressures, these materials tend to be brittle, that is, to fracture with little prior plastic deformation when non-hydrostatically stressed, they can undergo substantial permanent strain when stressed u

Overview: Jede Wissenschaft bedient sich bestimmter Methoden, Arten des Vorgehens, um Antworten auf die von ihr gestellten Fragen zu erlangen. Welcher Methoden bedient sich die Rechtswissenschaft? Unter der "Rechtswissenschaft" wird in die­ sem Buche diejenige Wissenschaft verstanden, die sich mit der Lösung von Rechts­ fragen im Rahmen und auf der Grundlage einer bestimmten, historisch erwachse­ nen Rechtsordnung befaßt, also die herkömmlicherweise so genannte Jurisprudenz. Mit dem Recht befassen sich auch andere Wissenschaften, so die Rechtshistorie und die Rechtssoziologie. Es versteht sich

Overview: Comprehensive review of radioisotope-based molecular imaging probes (radiopharmaceuticals) for PET and SPECT.Basics of nuclear chemistry, radiochemistry and radiopharmacology.Potential applications in.Radioisotope-based molecular imaging probes provide unprecedented insight into biochemistry and function involved in both normal and disease states of living systems, with unbiased in vivo measurement of regional radiotracer activities offering very high specificity and sensitivity. No other molecular imaging technology including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can provide

Overview: On June 1, 1990, Egon Sohmen would have reached the age of 60 had he not suffered from a fatal illness. It demanded his death at the early age of 46. If he were still with us, he would playa prominent role in the current debate on monetary arrangements and on allocation theory, perhaps in­ cluding environmental issues and urban economics. His contributions are well remembered by his colleagues and friends, by his former students, and by many in the economics profession on both sides of the Atlantic. In extrapolating his great achievements as a scholar and teacher beyond the time of h

Overview: The thyroid gland first appears in the phylogenic scale in the Lamprey larva, Ammocoetes, at the time of metamorphosis (see review by Constantinescu, 1972). In higher Vertebrates the adult thyroid gland consists of vesicles i. e. thyroid follicles containing colloid and lined with a cubic or prismatic epithelium. Since the end of the 19th century, many authors have studied the morphoge­ nesis of the follicles during the embryonic and fetal development of the gland in Man and other species, principally Chick, Rat and Rabbit. The development of techniques for culturing organs of higher
