Overview: Latest research in Networked knowledge and media.Integrates Knowledge Management, New Media Technologies and Semantic SystemsWhen Social Media and the Semantic Web became popular a few years ago it was a simple co-existence between the two, but in the meantime they have increasingly melted making it impossible to think of knowledge technologies without thinking of the Semantic Web. As we can witness today Social Media are widely accepted and common in educational, research and business contexts. Complementary to this Semantic Web principles have not only proven applicable at the tech

Overview: It is increasingly evident that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which in the past were often believed to be mere components of cellular membranes of neural tissue, are actually major determinants of the functional properties of neural cells and are intimately involved in brain disease processes. The two families of PUF A, which are derived from the essential polyenes, linoleic (18:26) and a-linolenic (18:33) acids, constitute a major proportion (-30%) of the total fatty acids esterified to brain phospholipids. Each family is distributed in membranes in a highly specific manner wi

Overview: Familiarity with nitric oxide is essential to a modernunderstanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of infectious disease.Recent research has established nitric oxide and related reactivenitrogen intermediates to be important molecular mediators of diversephysiologic processes such as control of vascular tone, regulation ofthe immune system, and microbial and tumor cell growth. This bookcontains chapters by the leading researchers in the field and examinesthe biology and biochemistry of nitric oxide and its role in a varietyof specific infections ranging from sepsis, tuberculosis and

Overview: The 20th century has witnessed the great benefits of the development of antibi­ otics, which became a reality after World War IL More than 50 years ago I witnessed the miraculous therapeutic power of penicillin, when I was a student at the Tohoku University Medical School‘s Department of Bacteriology in Sendai, Japan. The late Dr. Kondo was a graduate student in the department at that time and developed the first crude penicillin preparation in Japan which was applied with dramatic results in two patients. Although there was patient-family consent at that time, ethics committees, ran

Overview: Professor Rojot‘s work links the theory of negotiation to its more practical aspects and bridges the gap between theoretical work and ‘how to‘ manuals. The theoretical analysis is rooted in the field of sociology in general and in the strategic analysis of organisations in particular. This sets it apart from most treatises on negotiation which tend to be based on social-psychology, political science or economics.978-1-349-11445-0
