Overview: Neuroimmunology could be defined as the application of immunological methods to problems in neurobiology but such a definition is so all­ encompassing as to be unhelpful. It is not a precisely circumscribed discipline but it seems worthwhile at the outset to point to three of the major areas of activity. One rather early use of the term was in connection with studies on the immune response to antigens in the nervous system. This includes topics such as autoimmunity in the central and peripheral nervous sys­ tems, the response to neural tumors or viral infections, and the im­ munopath

Overview: The pharmacology of neurotrophic factors is part of the general field called neuroprotection or neurodegeneration, which has emerged during the past two decades. This new broad research area has identified molecular mechanisms that regulate the morphological plasticity of the nervous system and, in con­ sequence, discovered novel pharmacological approaches to manipulate these processes in disease states. The new, structural neuropharmacology as de­ scribed in this volume attempts to regulate the anatomic aspects of the nervous system and is perhaps comparable to hardware manipulation

Overview: Building on recent developments in social ecology, this book advances a new critical theory of society and nature, exploring social metabolism and global resource flows in contemporary society.

This volume contains the papers presented at ICSP 2010 held in Paderborn, G- many, during July 8-9, 2010. ICSP 2010 was the fourth conference of the ICSP series. The confe

Overview: Outlines historical development of major nonhuman primate facilities.A practical guide for welfare assessment, housing, enrichment and training.Covers legal frameworks and humane end-of-life decisionsThis volume reviews the broad topic of welfare in nonhuman primates under human care. Chapters detail the history of primates in captivity, ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of nonhuman primates as entertainment or in research, the different approaches that welfare are measured, and how housing, enrichment, and other conditions can foster or degrade welfare..Since humans began

Overview: The last decade or so has witnessed tremendous progress in methodology in the field of drug development in general and pharmacokinetics in particular. Clinical pharmacokinetics is using new tools for probing into the "black box" once being ac­ cessible only partly through experimental techniques and, mostly through mathemati­ cal and computer means. Development of computerized scanning, positron emission tomography (PET), stereoselectivity and other techniques are now enabling investi­ gators to have better pictures of the systems they are studying. Mathematical models through comput

Overview: .Large-scale experimentation allows scientists to test the specific responses of ecosystems to changing environmental conditions. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory together with other Federal and University scientists conducted a large-scale climatic change experiment at the Walker Branch Watershed in Tennessee, a model upland hardwood forest in North America. This volume synthesizes mechanisms of forest ecosystem response to changing hydrologic budgets associated with climatic change drivers. The authors explain the implications of changes at both the plant and stand leve

Overview: .As the structure of contemporary communication networks grows more complex, practical networked distributed systems become prone to component failures. Fault-tolerant consensus in message-passing systems allows participants in the system to agree on a common value despite the malfunction or misbehavior of some components. It is a task of fundamental importance for distributed computing, due to its numerous applications...We summarize studies on the topological conditions that determine the feasibility of consensus, mainly focusing on directed networks and the case of restricted topo

Overview: Vor einem knappen Jahrzehnt entstanden in den USA die ersten Beiträge einer Forschungsrichtung, die heute allgemein als "neue" Wachstumstheorie bekannt ist. Der "neuen" Wachstumstheorie, die methodisch als Weiterentwicklung der neoklassischen Wachstumstheorie zu kennzeichnen ist, kann als entscheidend Neues das erfolgreiche Bemühen um eine und nach Meinung ihrer Protago­ nisten sogar auch die erste wirklich ökonomische Erklärung der langfristigen Wachstumsrate attestiert werden. Die nachhaltige Wirkung des Ansatzes spie­ gelt sich in einer Vielzahl von mittlerweile vorliegenden Folge
