Overview: Includes supplementary material: Internationally recognized investigators review the latest developments in, and novel approaches to, understanding the prion protein and prion diseases at the molecular level. Utilizing a variety of cutting-edge techniques, these distinguished scientists seek to define the normal function of a prion protein, to detect and measure the early immune response to prion disease, and to discover possible therapeutic targets. They also use transgenic mice and new electrophysiological investigations to elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in prion di

Overview: The book is self-contained.The methods presented in the book can be applied to a wide range of domains in nonlinear analysis.Some very recent research results are presented along with more classical o.The objective of this self-contained book is two-fold. First, the reader is introduced  to the modelling and  mathematical analysis used in fluid mechanics, especially concerning the Navier-Stokes equations which is the basic model for the flow of incompressible viscous fluids. Authors introduce mathematical tools so that the reader is able to use them for studying many other kinds of p

Overview: In this book we study Markov random functions of several variables. What is traditionally meant by the Markov property for a random process (a random function of one time variable) is connected to the concept of the phase state of the process and refers to the independence of the behavior of the process in the future from its behavior in the past, given knowledge of its state at the present moment. Extension to a generalized random process immediately raises nontrivial questions about the definition of a suitable" phase state," so that given the state, future behavior does not depend

Overview: advanced metastatic disease of solid tumors, dictates that each tumor mass, indeed each individual metastasis, will have a unique antigen and cytokine environment and hence unique response to immune modu­ lation. A differential response to immunotherapy is thus inevitable. 4. Many of the human trials described are not randomized and report survival or response against historical controls. Most tumors described are immunogenic human tumors: renal cell cancer and melanoma are most common. In order to avoid the well-described inter-patient vari­ ation and rare incidence of spontaneous r

Overview: The three volume proceedings LNAI 11906 – 11908 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery in Databases, ECML PKDD 2019, held in Würzburg, Germany, in September 2019..The total of 130 regular papers presented in these volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 733 submissions; there are 10 papers in the demo track. ..The contributions were organized in topical sections named as follows:..Part I: pattern mining; clustering, anomaly and outlier detection, and autoencoders; dimensionality reduction and feature select

Overview: First book to apply OR techniques specifically to crude oil production and refining.Examines the problem of deciding how much crude to produce annually for export each year.Considers the decision of hThis book considers the problem of determining how many barrels of crude oil an oil-producing and exporting country should produce annually for export―along with several other important problems that decision-makers in the crude oil industry face―and discusses procedures for finding optimum solutions for them. It considers the important Objective Functions they need in making these critic

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Bernd Holzinger geht in einem interdisziplinären Ansatz der Frage nach, ob sich Firmen nach pluralistischen Kriterien führen lassen und ob sie sogar davon profitieren können. Es geht dabei unter anderem um mögliche individuelle Freiheiten der Mitarbeiter: Größtmögliche Autonomie, den Vorgesetzten wählen, selbst über Urlaub, Gehalt oder Bewerber entscheiden. Mit Hilfe der Effizienz-, Entscheidungsqualitäts-, Verantwortungs- und Motivationsthese gelingt es dem Autor, die Eignung pluralistischer Ansätze auch im Unterne

Overview: Offering a dialogue between anthropology and literature, culture, and media, this book presents fine-grained ethnographic vignettes of monsters dwelling in the contemporary world. These monsters hail from Aboriginal Australia, the Pacific, Asia, and Europe, and their presence is inextricably intertwined with the lives of those they haunt.978-1-349-50129-8978-1-137-44865-1

Overview: This book is based on a workshop entitled.: Model " Identification and Adap­ tive Control: From Windsurfing to Telecommunications" held in Sydney, Aus­ tralia, on December 16, 2000. The workshop was organized in honour of Pro­ fessor Brian (BDO) Anderson in recognition of his seminal contributions to systems science over the past 4 decades. . The chapters in the book have been written by colleagues, friends and stu­ dents of Brian Anderson. A central theme of the book is the inter relationship between identification and the use of models in real world applications. This theme has und

Overview: This book provides up-to-date information on Bile acid regulatory functions and disorders.It uniquely covers diversity of metabotropic receptors signaling and applications of nanoparticles.It integrat.This book will provide current understandings about two ubiquitously expressed metabotropic GPCRs, G-coupled purinoreceptor type 2 (P2Y) and Takeda G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 5 (TGR5). G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of proteins implicated in majority of cellular responses. The two receptor sub-families play a central role in many physiological funct

Overview: This volume contains papers presented at the International Conference on Software Process (ICSP 2008) held in Leipzig, Germany, during May 10-11, 2008. ICSP 2008 was the second conference of the ICSP series. The theme of ICSP 2008 was “Making Globally Distributed Software Development a Success Story. ” Software developers work in a dynamic context of frequently changing technologies and with limited resources. Globally distributed development teams are under ev- increasing pressure to deliver their products more quickly and with higher levels of qu- ity. At the same time, global comp

Overview: Neuropsycholinguistics - the interaction between linguistics, psycholinguistics, and aphasiology - has, over the past two decades, established itself as a multidisciplinary science worthy of its recent attention in Drs. Nespoulous and Villiard‘s .Morphology, Phonology and . .Aphasia.. In this new volume in the Springer Series in Neuropsychology, the editors have most successfully developed a multidisciplinary team of research through the organization of two symposia - one on "Morphology and Aphasia", the other focused on "Phonology and Aphasia". Toward the goal of better understandin

Overview: Der Band bietet praxisorientiert erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick über die Arbeitsweisen und Erfahrungen der in der BRD seit 1986 tätigen "Musikmobile" in der Kulturarbeit und Beispiele für weitere Kulturprojekte im Bereich der Populären Musik. 1986 wurde in Deutschland das erste "Rockmobil" gestartet. Mit den Stilformen Populärer Musik die Sprache und das Denken Jugendlicher zu erreichen und über dieses Medium langfristige Projektzusammenhänge herzustellen, lautete die zentrale methodische Prämisse. Nach dem Modell dieses ersten Jugendmusikmobils sind seither von Berlin bis Münc

Overview: .From the reviews.: "In the world of mathematics, the 1980‘s might well be described as the "decade of the fractal". Starting with Benoit Mandelbrot‘s remarkable text .The . .Fractal Geometry of Nature., there has been a deluge of books, articles and television programmes about the beautiful mathematical objects, drawn by computers using recursive or iterative algorithms, which Mandelbrot christened .fractals.. Gerald Edgar‘s book is a significant addition to this deluge. Based on a course given to talented high- school students at Ohio University in 1988, it is, in fact, an advanced

Overview: The objective of this conference was to foster a healthy exchange of ideas and experience in the domain of multiple criteria problem solving. This conference was an outgrowth of an earlier conference I organized with Herve Thiriez at CESA, Jouy-en-Josas, France in 1975 during my stay at the European Institute in Brussels. When I re­ joined the State University of New York at Buffalo that year, I be­ gan to search for potential sponsors for this conference. Approxi­ mately one year later when the prospects began to look promising, I contacted several individuals to act as an informal
