Overview: Timeliness – Superresolution methods are beginning to transform neurobiological research.Relevance – Progress in synapse research hinges on advances in superresolution imaging.Competence – Chapters arSynapses underlie rapid and flexible neural communication in the brain and they hold the key to understanding higher brain functions in health and disease. Because they are very small and highly dynamic, it is very difficult to study them with traditional techniques. Fortunately, recent ground-breaking advances in optical microscopy (e.g. STED, PALM, STORM, SIM) have greatly improved our

Overview: Offers a multi-dimensional picture of ageing issues in the rural northern context.Demonstrates how political positions and their outcomes affect social and political conditions of older people.ContribThis book provides an underexplored view of ageing, one that conceives older people as valuable resources in their communities, as active citizens with both voice, and an agency that includes the capacity for resistance. It acknowledges that becoming old with dignity means also paying attention to caring, good health services and the possibility of good death. The book defines age and ag

Overview: Though the subject of this work, "nominalism and contemporary nom­ inalism", is philosophical, it cannot be fully treated without relating it to data gathered from a great variety of domains, such as biology and more especially ethology, psychology, linguistics and neurobiology. The source of inspiration has been an academic work I wrote in order to obtain a postdoctoral degree, which is called in Belgium an "Aggregaat voor het Hoger Onderwijs" comparable to a "Habilitation" in Germany. I want to thank the National Fund of Scientific Research, which accorded me several grants and the

Overview: This is the third meeting we have organized which has explored the meaning of fetal neural developmental disruption in the etiology of schiwphrenia. The first was sponsored by the Schiwphrenia Research Branch with the scientific cooperation of Dr. David Shore. We met in Washington; the output of the meeting was published in a book entitled, Fetal Neural Development and Adult Schizophrenia. Cambridge University Press. 1991. The next meeting was an Advanced Research Workshop sponsored by NATO and was held at n Ciocco. Castelvecchio Pascoli. This meeting was reported in a NATO volume. D

Overview: Latest research on Databases and Information Systems.Results of the workshops of the 16th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2012) held September 18-21, 2Database and information systems technologies have been rapidly evolving in several directions over the past years. New types and kinds of data, new types of applications and information systems to support them raise diverse challenges to be addressed. The so-called big data challenge, streaming data management and processing, social networks and other complex data analysis, including se

Overview: Provides a basic understanding of nutrition and nutritional supplements.Authors are experts in their fields.Provide stimulus for research in nutritional science.Nutrition in Pediatric Pulmonary Disease. is a much needed resource for practitioners that provides a basic understanding of nutrition and nutritional supplements; their impact on physiologic function and how this can be applied for general health maintenance as well as a supplemental treatment for pulmonary diseases.  This book provides information on (1) basics of nutrition, supplements and herbs and how they influence phys

Overview: .Nontarget Effects of Biological Control. is the first bookof its kind. The environmental safety of biological control has comeunder scrutiny due to several areas of concerns: the irreversibilityof alien introductions, the prevalence of host switching to innocuousnative or beneficial species, dispersal of the biocontrol agent to newhabitats away from croplands, and the lack of research on the efficacyand impact of biocontrol attempts. The debate has been stronglypolarized between conservationists and biological controlpractitioners. .Nontarget Effects of Biological Control. proposest

Overview: The nonlocality phenomena exhibited by entangled quantum systems are certainly one of the most extraordinary aspects of quantum theory. This book discusses this phe­ nomenon according to several points of view, i.e., according to different interpretations of the mathematics of the quantum formalism. The several interpretations of the Copenhagen interpretation, the many worlds, the de Broglie-Bohm, quantum logics, the decohering by the environment approach and the histories approach interpretations are scrutinized and criticized in detail. Recent results on cryptography, quantum bit c

The centerpiece of investigations regarding adaptation to hypoxia and sensorial perception has been the dopaminergic system. It is now clear that a complex interaction among various neuroactive substances, rather than a single one, forms the basis of respiratory changes. The research on neurotransmitter interact

Overview: Contains the first systematic presentation of nonlocal curvature and perimeter for measurable sets.With applications to minimal surfaces.Nonlocal heat content is also studied.This book highlights the latest developments in the geometry of measurable sets, presenting them in simple, straightforward terms. It addresses nonlocal notions of perimeter and curvature and studies in detail the minimal surfaces associated with them. .These notions of nonlocal perimeter and curvature are defined on the basis of a non-singular kernel. Further, when the kernel is appropriately rescaled, they con

Overview: The present study is a preliminary draft on nonlinear economic dynamics, with which the author has been concerned the last years. It grew out from the joint work by Professor Martin Beckmann and the present author on nonlinear statics in spatial economics, Beckmann and Puu, "Spatial Economics" (North-Holland 1985). The monograph mentioned contains sections on price waves and business cycles, but in a linear format. The rest is static theory. The author has finally come to the conviction that linear dynamic modelling has very little to yield. This is due to the poor set of alternative
