Overview: A convincingly argued "reality check" for both scientists and general readers.Demonstrates that, without mind, the Universe is a "blank slate".Based on newest results from the neurosciences and studieThe topic of this book is the relationship between mind and the physical world. From once being an esoteric question of philosophy, this subject has become a central topic in the foundations of quantum physics. The book traces this story back to Descartes, through Kant, to the beginnings of 20th Century physics, where it becomes clear that the mind-world relationship is not a speculative

Overview: Discusses molecular mechanisms of total or partial loss of the MHC class I antigens in cancer cells.Explains the role of MHC class I defects in cancer progression.Shows the correlation of MHC class I Abnormal expression of MHC class I molecules in malignant cells is a frequent occurrence that ranges from total loss of all class I antigens to partial loss of MHC specific haplotypes or alleles. Different mechanisms are described to be responsible for these alterations, requiring different therapeutic approaches. A complete characterization of these molecular defects is important for im

Overview: When first introduced, antisense oligonucleotides were hailedas the long awaited magic bullet that would provide an unprecedentedlevel of specificity in controlling gene expression. Following thisinitial enthusiasm, antisense oligonucleotides have been maligned asnonspecific, toxic, and essentially useless. However, application ofantisense oligonucleotide technology in the nervous system standsapart from the use of this technique in peripheral systems, largelybecause of its enormous success. The source of this success remains amatter of some controversy...Modulating Gene Expression b

Overview: The present book contains three articles: "Systems of Linear Differential Equations," by V. P. Palamodov; "Fredholm Operators and Their Generalizations," by S. N. Krachkovskii and A. S. Di­ kanskii; and "Representations of Groups and Algebras in Spaces with an Indefinite Metric" by M. A. Naimark and R. S. Ismagilov. In the fi.rst article the accent is on those characteristics of systems of differential equations which distinguish the systems from the scalar case. Considerable space is devoted in particular to "nonquadratic systems," a topic that has very recently stimulated interest.
