Overview: Taxonomy is fundamental to understanding the variety of lifeforms, and exciting expansions in molecular biology are re-volutionising the obtained data. This volume reviews the ma-jor molecular biological techniques thatare applied in ta-xonomy. The chapters are arranged in three main sections:1)Overviews of important topics in molecular taxonomy; 2) Casestudies of the successful application of molecular methodsto taxonomic and evolutionary questions; 3) Protocols for arange of generally applicablemethods. The described techni-ques include DNA-DNA hybridization, DNAfingerprinting, RFL

Overview: Explains and contextualises Margaret Mead‘s contribution to educational discourses.Demonstrates how knowledge of human kind garnered from social anthropology illuminates contemporary problems in the eThis book makes a case for Margaret Mead‘s contributions to education discourses, which in retrospect appear visionary and profoundly democratic, non judgemental and transdisciplinary, and for their relevance for education today at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Mead combined her substantial skills and knowledge as a linguist, anthropologist and psychologist to draw attention to

The book contains ten chapters covering various topics ranging from similarity and special types of matrices to Schur complements and matrix normality. Each chapter focuses on the results, techniques, and methods that are beautiful, interesting, and represe

Overview: Contains revised, extended papers from the two workshops MUSE 2013 and MSM 2013.Discusses themes bridging the gap between the social and the ubiquitous world.Focuses on problems related to mining, modThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Mining Ubiquitous and Social Environments, MUSE 2013, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in September 2013, and the 4th International Workshop on Modeling Social Media, MSM 2013, held in Paris, France, in May 2013.The 8 full papers included in the book are revised and significa

Overview: The rise of the mass media and professional science makes the years before the Great War an important formative period in the history of popular science. Peter Broks explores the magazines of the time and uncovers the scientist as hero and villain; science for and against religion; animal biographies and a new empathy with nature; technology as evolutionary progress; utopian visions and degenerationst fears. Through this cultural analysis of popular science he shows how Victorian hopes turned into Edwardian disillusion.978-1-349-25045-5978-1-349-25043-1

Overview: Recently, considerable attention has been focused on studies of membrane structure and function--involvement of cell surface components in intercellular interaction, in translocation of ligands and receptors across cell membranes, and in the immunological properties of cells and gene expression and regulation. These investigations have led to the development of powerful technical tools which can be of immense value in the study of animal and human reproduction. The investigations of problems such as gamete interaction, fertilization, embryo implantation, and development have reached

Overview: Kompakt und gefällig geschriebene Einführung in die Mathematik für Ingenieure.Mit vielen Beispielen und Anwendungen sowie Aufgaben mit Lösungen.In der 4. Auflage um weitere Themen ergänzt und in zwei .Basierend auf Grundkenntnissen aus der Schulzeit oder aus dem ersten Band des Gesamtwerks „Mathematik verstehen und anwenden“ führt dieser zweite Band in die Vektoranalysis, in das Gebiet der Differenzialgleichungen und in die Fourier-Analysis einschließlich der Laplace-Transformation ein und beinhaltet außerdem eine Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik. Damit er

Overview: Shows the reader how to adapt familiar transfer-function-based control for important situations to which it has not applied before.Opens up new perspectives on the solution of problems, such as the co.Although the transfer function approach is widely used in classical control theory, computer-controlled continuous-time processes are a very important subset of periodic sampled-data systems which are not treatable using ordinary transfer functions...The authors show how parametric transfer functions, which incorporate time-dependence, can be used to give a complete exposition of analys

Overview: Wherever possible in this monograph I have referred to English trans­ lations of works originally appearing in other languages. Where this has not been possible, for example with Russian material, I have followed the Library of Congress system of transliteration, but omitted the diacritics. I have also retained the conventional use of ‘y‘ for the ending of certain Russian proper names (e.g., Trotsky not Trotskii). In accordance with the policy of using existing English translations, I have referred to the Martin Nicolaus translation of Marx‘s Grundrisse, which is relatively faithful

Overview: Covers all aspects of millisecond pulsars in one volume.Treats theory and observation in a balanced way.Useful for professional astronomers and graduate studentsThis book includes nine chapters written by internationally recognized experts, covering all aspects of millisecond pulsars in one concise and cohesive volume. These aspects include pulsations powered by stellar spin, accretion and thermonuclear burning of accreted matter, their physics and utility, stellar evolution and the extreme physics of super-dense stellar cores. The book includes substantial background material as wel

Overview: Metal-ligand interactions are currently being studied indifferent fields, from a variety of points of view, and recentprogress has been substantial. Whole new classes of compounds andreactions have been found; an arsenal of physical methods has beendeveloped; mechanistic detail can be ascertained to an increasinglyminute degree; and the theory is being developed to handle systems ofever-growing complexity. As usual, such multidisciplinarity leads togreat opportunities, coupled with great problems of communicationbetween specialists. .It is in its promotion of interactions across thes

Overview: Minimal neoplasia may be defined as a small cancer that has progressed beyond its site of primary origin into the surrounding tissue, but that has not yet reached the stage of deeper invasion or metastasization. The basic principles of this minimal cancer are presented in chapters on molecular, biological and experimental aspects, and, in particular, on the clinical manifestations in various organs: preleukemia, incipient lymphoma, and minimal carcinomas of the uterine cervix, breast, thyroid, larynx, lung, prostate, stomach and colon. A separate chapter is devoted to cryptic gliomas
