Overview: It can be argued that nonselective cation channels were the first sort of ion channel to be described, though the word channel was not used at the time. Their existence was implied by Fatt and Katz in 1952, when they described the action of acetylcholine at the muscle endplate as producing "a large nonselective increase of ion permeability, i.e. a short circuit". Shortly afterwards, in 1956, Katz referred to "aqueous channels through which small ions can pass ... " (del Castillo and Katz, Prog. Biophysics and Biophys. Chern. 6, 121-170). Now, more than thirty years later, it has beco

Overview: Provides a concise update of the essential elements of the Neuropathology curriculum.Reflects the newest information and ideas in this constantly changing field.Contains additional self-assessment que.As scientific research continues to expand the scope of Neuropathology, the amount of information that both students and practicing pathologists must assimilate and master can be challenging, and at times even daunting. The previous editions of this book summarized the essentials of neuropathology with the goal of providing an overview of neuropathology and to provide a framework for pr

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: ​​In einer immer schnelllebigerenZeit mag es nicht verwundern, dass Individuen zunehmend nach Werten oder Beständigkeitsuchen und sich dabei sowohl ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit als auch nicht selbsterlebten vergangenen Epochen zuwenden. Die Faszination, welche Menschen mit derVergangenheit verbinden, wurde vom Marketing als Absatzchance erkannt undschlägt sich in einer großen Bandbreite von vergangenheitsbezogenen Angebotennieder. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird aus Konsumentensicht hinter denRetro-Trend geschaut - e

Overview: This Festschrift marks the retirement of Professor Chris Calladine, FRS after 42 years on the teaching staff of the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. It contains a series of papers contributed by his former students, colleagues, and friends. Chris Calladine‘s research has ranged very widely across the field of struc­ tural mechanics, with a particular focus on the plastic deformation of solids and structures, and the behaviour of thin-shell structures. His insightful books on Engineering Plasticity and Theory of Shell Structures have been appreciated by many generat

Overview: The majority of the offending toxicants to be reviewed in this volume were devel­ oped to help mankind, and it is only with prolonged or widespread application that their adverse effects have been recognized. Conversely, in the case of pre scrip­ tion drugs, there has been an attempt to identify the adverse effects in advance and incorporate these risks into the decision of approval for human consumption. Unfortunately, for those drugs in which recognized injury occurs only after prolonged use, such appraisals are made in retrospect. Despite this, most renal injury induced by drugs o

Overview: Eine wirtschaftswissenschaftliche StudieChristina Woitzik untersucht den Grad an Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeitsregeln in der Unternehmenspraxis, wobei sie den Fokus auf die Berichterstattung legt und die Berichtsinhalte bezüglich bestimmter Unternehmenscharakteristika analysiert.

Overview: The present volume is a sequel to Deontic Logic: Introductory and Systematic Readings (D. Reidel Publishing Company, Dordrecht 1971): its purpose is to offer a view of some of the main directions of research in contemporary deontic logic. Most of the articles included in Introductory and Systematic Readings represent what may be called the standard modal approach to deontic logic, in which de on tic logic is treated as a branch of modal logic, and the normative concepts of obligation, permission and prohibition are regarded as analogous to the "alethic" modalities necessity, possibil

Overview: In order to validate predictive models of the very long-term processes which affect the performance of radioactive waste repositories, there has been an increased interest in the information and understanding which can be obtained from studying similar mechanisms in natural systems. These "natural analogues", as they are known in the jargon of waste management, have been studied sporadically for many years, but there has been a considerable rejuvenation of interest in the last four years, possibly owing to the fact that performance assessment methodolo­ gy is gradually maturing to th
