Overview: Explores the history of pineal and melatonin, from the autobiographical perspective of a leading author in the field..Focuses on the personal experience and achievements of Dr. Daniel Cardinali..DiscuI wrote this book urged by the overwhelming desire that arises towards the end of life to recapitulate the past. My goal was to summarize my experience of practicing science at the end of the 20th and early 21st centuries in Argentina, a country located far away from the world’s leading scientific centers. In the book, I summarize the intricacies of the pineal gland (“the stone of madnes

Overview: Thema dieser Arbeit ist die geschlechtsspezifische Erziehung von Mädchen im Kindergarten. Wir wollten herausfmden, welche Möglichkeiten und Be­ grenzungen der Kindergarten und die dort arbeitenden Erzieherinnen den- bis 6-jährigen Mädchen bieten, ein positives Selbstwertgefühl, d. h. eine als po­ sitiv erlebte geschlechtliche Identität zu entwickeln. Wir wollten aber auch etwas darüber erfahren, wie die Erzieherinnen diese Möglichkeiten und Be­ grenzungen sehen und bewerten. In diesem Zusammenhang weisen wir gleich anfangs daraufhin, daß uns der Begriff der Geschlechtsrolle für unser

Overview: User engagement refers to the quality of the user experience that emphasizes the positive aspects of interacting with an online application and, in particular, the desire to use that application longer and repeatedly. User engagement is a key concept in the design of online applications (whether for desktop, tablet or mobile), motivated by the observation that successful applications are not just used, but are engaged with. Users invest time, attention, and emotion in their use of technology, and seek to satisfy pragmatic and hedonic needs. Measurement is critical for evaluating whet

Overview: .Managerial and Organisational Integration. discusses a wide range of issues considered pertinent to the more effective use of technology. A closer involvement between management and workforce can reduce tensions, improve the flow of information (both upward and downward), overcome bottlenecks in existing systems, and bring the capability of many minds to bear upon a problem or challenge. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the concept of "internal and external integration" and present ideas for effecting a wider amalgamation. Chapters 3 through 6 focus on the way new technologies can encoura

Overview: Mixing may be thought of as the operation by which a systemevolves from one state of simplicity (initial segregation) to anotherstate of simplicity (complete uniformity). Between these two extremes,complex patterns emerge and die. Questions naturally arise- howcan the geometry of complex patterns be characterised, what is thetime scale of the process, what structures are involved in the flow?.This volume, comprising the proceedings of the NATO ASI on Mixing,attempts to address these questions from the approaches of geometry,kinetics and structure. The ASI which brought together diver

Overview: Although a strikingly modem account of multiple (disseminated) sclerosis was given by Charcot more than one hundred years ago, we are still not sure of the precise nature of the disease, still less of any precise mode of management. Even diagnosis is at best ‘probable‘. This collection of essays examines the particular difficulties which beset the problem and have mili­ tated against the solution-problems of data collection and evaluation; clinical and biochemical vagaries and unanswered questions ; laboratory test prediction of the disease, etc. Experts in their fields have set out

Overview: This book focuses mainly on methods, their standardization and the statistical handling of the data..It gives an overview of techniques and methods necessary in the field of microbial ecology of terreResearch on decomposer communities of terrestrial ecosystems for a long time has focussed on microbial biomass and gross turnover parameters. Recently, more and more attempts are made to look beyond the biomass, and more specifically determine functions and populations on a smaller scale-in time and space. A multitude of techniques is being improved and developed. Garland and Mills (1991
