Overview: Um den Umfang der vorliegenden Monographie in erträglichen Grenzen zu halten und eine größere Übersichtlichkeit zu wahren, wurden von der Literatur bis zum Jahre 1940 nur diejenigen Arbeiten besprochen, die wesentliches zur Pharmakologie des Morphin beitrugen und auch heute noch Geltung besitzen. Diese Beschränkung war um so eher möglich, als in der ausgezeichneten Mono­ graphie von KRUEGER, EDDY und SUMWALT aus dem Jahr 1941 "The pharmacology of the opium alcaloids" die Weltliteratur bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt fast lückenlos gesammelt und kritisch besprochen worden ist. Dagegen wurde d

Overview: Introduction to state-of-the-art technologies that are being used to study microbial systems biology.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementati. Systems biology is the study of interactions between assorted components of biological systems with the aim of acquiring new insights into how organisms function and respond to different stimuli.  Although more and more efforts are being directed toward examining systems biology in complex multi-cellular organisms, the bulk of system-level analyses conducted to date have focused on the

Overview: Integrates the literature of international marketing with international business studies on distance.Reflects upon the “globalization vs localization” debate in relation to global marketing trends.Pre.The aim of this book is to offer up-to-date insights into the challenges for international firms represented by managing their marketing mix in “distant” countries, especially considering the role played by cultural distance. Building on the famous McCarthy’s “4Ps,” and on the concept of “cultural distance,” the book outlines some key challenges and opportunities for firms that manage i

Overview: Puts the spotlight on the importance of relationships becoming positive and resilient.Places mentoring firmly in positive psychology and takes it beyond that.Shows how relationships and creative pursuThis book examines the concept and practice of mentoring, as well as the wider scope and diversity of the mentoring that people can experience in their own life time. With each chapter dedicated to a specific level of mentoring, the book makes clear the impact and value of mentoring not only for the participants themselves but also on the situations in which mentoring occurs and the reve

Overview: Never before has the failure of mobility policy to ethical, professional, and educational aspects been compared.Contains many innovative projects for both North American and European cities.An “intern.Mobility and Environment. calls for a mobility revolution which does not simply mean taking a bus instead of a car: it implies a dramatic shift in the political debate from a technical to a political culture. The author introduces his book by disputing “non-political” Sustainable Development policies which are among the major culprits for the conservatism in environmental policies. .For

Overview: .Modelling and Prediction Honoring Seymour Geisser. contains the refereed proceedings of the Conference on Forecasting, Prediction, and Modelling held at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan in 1994. The papers discuss general methodological issues; prediction; design of experiments and classification; prior distributions and estimation; posterior odds, testing, and model selection; modelling and prediction in finance; and time series modelling and applications. Specific topics include very interesting and topical statistical issues related to DNA fingerprinting and spatial image r

Overview: The Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineer­ ing (ICASE) and NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) brought together on October 2-4, 1989 experts in the various areas of com­ bustion with a view to expose them to some combustion problems of technological interest to LaRC and possibly foster interaction with the academic community in these research areas. The top­ ics chosen for this purpose were flame structure, flame stability, flame holding/extinction, chemical kinetics, turbulence-kinetics in­ teraction, transition to detonation, and reacting free shear layers. Th

Overview: Shares fascinating insights into the evolutionary, biological and ecological importance of microorganisms.Offers a collection of unique essays, written by noted scientists from various fields.Includes.This collection of essays discusses fascinating aspects of the concept that microbes are at the root of all ecosystems. The content is divided into seven parts, the first of those emphasizes that microbes not only were the starting point, but sustain the rest of the biosphere and shows how life evolves through a perpetual struggle for habitats and niches. Part II explains the ways in wh

Overview: Uniquely explores ageing and the specific needs of older men as they engage with retirement.Generates new understandings around the issues surrounding ageing and older men such as depression, loneline.Marginalisation of Older Men: The Lost Boys. focuses on the phenomenon of the marginalisation of older men and the impact of gendered ageing as a pathologic disorder leading to suicide ideation, rather than a celebratory state. In this engaging investigation,Deborah Mulligan explains why and how some older men have become marginalised in society, and the effects of this social isolation

Overview: Starting in 1996, a sequence of articles appeared in the Journal of Nonlinear Science dedicated to the memory of one of its original editors, Juan-Carlos Simo, Applied Me­ chanics, Stanford University. Sadly, Juan-Carlos passed away at an early age in 1994. We lost a brilliant colleague and a wonderful person. These articles are collected in the present volume. Many of them are updated and corrected especially for this occasion. These essays are in areas of scientific interest of Juan-Carlos, including mechanics (particles, rigid bodies, fluids, elasticity, plastic­ ity, etc.), geome

Overview: In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist die Mathematik eines der wichtigsten Hilfsmittel der mo­ dernen Ökonomie geworden, da es nur mit (wenn auch idealisierten) mathematischen Modellen möglich ist, die Wechselwirkungen komplexer wirtschaftlicher Situationen zu beschreiben. Die Entwicklung von speziell auf die Bedürfnisse von Ökonomen zugeschnit­ tenen mathematischen Instrumentarien hat teilweise sogar zur Entwicklung eigener ma­ thematischer Disziplinen geführt und einen dementsprechend starken Einfluß auf die Ma­ thematik ausgeübt ( z.B. Lineare und nichtlineare Optimierung, Statistik, Spi

Overview: Our understanding of the basic processes of crystal growth has meanwhile reached the level of maturity at least in the phenomenological concepts. This concerns for example the growth of pure crystals from a low-density nutrient phase like vapor or dilute solution with various aspects of pattern formation like spiral and layer growth, facetting and roughening, and the stability of smooth macroscopic shapes, as well as basic mechanisms of impurity incorporation in melt growth of (in this sense) simple materials like silicon or organic model substances. In parallel the experimental tech

Overview: First book on methods of cut-elimination.Combines techniques and results from proof theory and automated deduction.Thereby the book provides a completely new view on proof theoretic methods and their .This is the first book on cut-elimination in first-order predicate logic from an algorithmic point of view. Instead of just proving the existence of cut-free proofs, it focuses on the algorithmic methods transforming proofs with arbitrary cuts to proofs with only atomic cuts (atomic cut normal forms, so-called ACNFs). The first part investigates traditional reductive methods from the po
