Overview: Recent advances in the understanding of the major events that shape the immune recog­ nition system have been remarkable. The analysis of immunoglobulin (Ig) gene organization and Ig repertoire diversification in lower vertebrates has provided new insight into this process in mammals. Similarly, the understanding of the early development of lymphocytes and of the acquisition of immunological tolerance has been aided by elegant studies in quail/chicken chimeras, using the power of the distinctive markers of the constitutive cells of these birds. Great strides have been made in underst

Overview: Neue Modelle und Ansätze in der DiskussionImmer wieder wird von Jugend- und Mediensoziologen betont, wie bedeutsam Medien im Jugendalter sind und dass sie gar mit den traditionellen Sozialisationsinstanzen konkurrieren und zunehmend an Sozialisationsmacht gewinnen. Aber dennoch überzeugen die Ergebnisse vieler qualitativer und quantitativer Rezeptionsstudien im Sinne einer soziologischen Sozialisationstheorie nicht. Dies ist der Tatsache geschuldet, dass es an einem zeitgemäßen komplexen Theoriemodell fehlt, das umfassend alle Indikatoren und Parameter berücksichtigt, die in der Situ

Overview: Die Schreibmaschine ist tot -es lebe der Computer! Dieses Motto ist Leitmotiv des vorliegenden Bandes, der den traditionellen Maschinenschreibunterricht auf die Bedingungen eines modernen Büroalltages umstellen will und kann. Auch wenn vielfach noch die klassische Ausbildung an der Schreibmaschine anzutreffen ist, hat die Schreibmaschine -zunehmend auch als Speicherschreibmaschine -in der mo­ dernen Bürotechnik ausgespielt. Mit dem Übergang von der guten alten Schreib­ maschine auf den modernen Bürocomputer ist viel mehr verbunden als die vorder­ gründige Möglichkeit, Textkorrekturen

Overview: Offers new readings of Maria Edgeworth’s representations of slavery in works across the course of her career.Explores how Edgeworth employed satiric technique and intertextual allusion within her gene.This Palgrave Pivot offers new readings of Maria Edgeworth’s representations of slavery. It shows how Edgeworth employed satiric technique and intertextual allusion to represent discourses of slavery and abolition as a litmus test of character – one that she invites readers to use on themselves. Over the course of her career, Edgeworth repeatedly indicted hypocritical and hyperbolic mis

Overview: Brings a new depth of research to the field on intimate partner violence.Examines men‘s experiences of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in childhood and adolescence.Speaks to academics an.This open access book draws on a broad study on violence against men, from both male and female partners in Norway, to contribute to the research on intimate partner violence. It identifies similarities in men‘s experiences and backgrounds, including in their perceptions of their own victimisation. Marianne Inez Lien and Jørgen Lorentzen argue that the traditional gender power model sho

Overview: Demonstrates that quantum-plasmonics is possible at length scales that are useful for real applications.Outlines the fabrication of a molecular electronic circuit using two plasmonic resonators, a str.This thesis describes the controlled immobilization of molecules between two cuboidal metal nanoparticles by means of a self-assembly method to control the quantum plasmon resonances. It demonstrates that quantum-plasmonics is possible at length scales that are useful for real applications. Light can interact with certain metals and can be captured in the form of plasmons, which are col

Overview: This book uses global perspectives to address questions of media ethics and justice in a local and transnational global environment, and examines the common denominator running through such disparate investigations of theories and practices of media ethics and justice in the democracies of India, South Africa, Pakistan, and the United States.978-1-349-50520-3978-1-137-49826-7

Overview: One suspects that the people who use computers for their livelihood are growing more "sophisticated" as the field of computer science evolves. This view might be defended by the expanding use of languages such as C and Lisp in contrast to the languages such as FORTRAN and COBOL. This hypothesis is false however - computer languages are not like natural languages where successive generations stick with the language of their ancestors. Computer programmers do not grow more sophisticated - programmers simply take the time to muddle through the increasingly complex language semantics in

Overview: Discusses real-time and label-free measurement of biomolecular interaction.Present protocols to calculate kinetics and affinities with single analyte concentration.Examines techniques for the optimum .This volume describes methods and protocols for the fragment-based screening of proteins using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The initial chapter of the book discusses the principle of SPR for the identification of biomolecular interactions, while the subsequent chapters introduce methods for labelling proteins with different tags including, histidine and biotin tags. It also discusse
