Overview: "Nitric Oxide and Free Radicals in Peripheral Neurotransmission" is a welcome addition to the literature and describes current research into the role of nitric oxide in the peripheral nervous system and its associated organs.Topics covered range from general consideration of nitrergic transmission, in its broadest sense, to elaboration of our current understanding of the role of nitric oxide in transmission in individual peripheral organs, including its role as a backup, or alternate as well as chief transmitter. The influence of nitric oxide and related compounds on the more convent

Overview: The informational content of cells is encoded in the nucleotide sequences of their DNA. The restrictions on base pairing- A pairing with T (U), and G pairing with C - in nature assures the fidelity of replication of DNA in cell division, and of transcription. In the test tube, these restrictions can be exploited for ascertaining similarities and dissimilarities of nucleic acids of varying origin by measuring the kinetics of reassociation of polynucleotides to double-stranded molecules in DNA­ DNA renaturation or RNA-DNA hybridization experiments, and by determining the thermal stabil

Overview: Presents uniquely secure control of networked systems from the perspectives of information security and control theory.Demonstrates the methods presented using practical experiments, not just numericaThis book presents the latest results on predictive control of networked systems, where communication constraints (e.g., network-induced delays and packet dropouts) and cyber attacks (e.g., deception attacks and denial-of-service attacks) are considered. For the former, it proposes several networked predictive control (NPC) methods based on input-output models and state-space models resp

Overview: Supports creation of systems that increase safety in facilities such as offshore platforms, drilling rigs, sucker rod pumping units.Details noise technology applications in seismic activity detection,This book examines noise-monitoring technologies and tools for registering the threshold of development of the latent period of the transition of a facility or product into an emergency state and controlling the dynamics of this development. It also describes how the use of noise technology can improve the accuracy of the results of traditional methods employed in the analysis of noisy s

Overview: From his 1956 Suez triumph to the 1967 defeat, President Nasser of Egypt dominated the Arab revolution. Drawing on new Arabic material, this history casts a fresh light on Nasser‘s era and legacy of conflict and provides an essential background to developments in the contemporary Arab world.978-1-349-28224-1978-0-230-62637-9

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland.Evaluated by a high-level committee, featuring Anthony J. Leggett (Nobel Prize in Physics 2003).St.This book studies the dynamics of fundamental collective excitations in quantum materials, focusing on the use of state-of-the-art ultrafast broadband optical spectroscopy. Collective behaviour in solids lies at the origin of several cooperative phenomena that can lead to profound transformations, instabilities and phase transitions. Revealing the dynamics of collective excitations is a

Overview: .This book provides the first comprehensive study of narco cinema, a cross-border exploitation cinema that, for over forty years, has been instrumental in shaping narco-culture in Mexico and the US borderlands. Identifying classics in its mammoth catalogue and analyzing select films at length, Rashotte outlines the genre‘s history and aesthetic criteria. He approaches its history as an alternative to mainstream representation of the drug war and considers how its vernacular aesthetic speaks to the anxieties and desires of Latina/o audiences by celebrating regional cultures while expl

Overview: Neurophysiological recording is the major neuromonitoring technique employed in ICU. In addition, continuous recording of intracranial pressure has proved to provide infomation useful for critical care of the patient with severe brain damage. It is, however, difficult to assess neurochemical and/or metabolic environments of the brain with these conventional neuromoni­ toring techniques. Information regarding these changes, if available on a real-time basis, is undoubtedly useful for patient care. Many important developments in bedside techniques to monitor these changes have been ach

Overview: Bietet Einblicke in den Wandel der Arbeitsbedingungen innerhalb der Arbeitsverwaltung seit der Hartz-Reformen.Zeigt, wie die motivationale Orientierung von Mitarbeitern der Jobcenter beurteilt werden Seit den Hartz-Reformen stehen die Auswirkungen auf die Bezieher sozialer Dienstleistungen im Mittelpunkt des öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Weitgehend unbeachtet blieb hingegen der – in Tradition des New Public Management interpretierbare – Wandel der Arbeitsbedingungen innerhalb der Arbeitsverwaltung selbst..Die vorliegende Abhandlung schließt diese Forschungslücke und

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Humans are often extraordinary at performing practical reasoning. There are cases where the human computer, slow as it is, is faster than any artificial intelligence system. Are we faster because of the way we perceive knowledge as opposed to the way we represent it? ...The authors address this question by presenting neural network models that integrate the two most fundamental phenomena of cognition: our ability to learn from experience, and our ability to reason from what has been learned. This book is the first to offer a self-contained presentati

Overview: Offers an overview on nanocarriers employed to encapsulate drugs and bioactive compounds.Outlines nanoencapsulation and encapsulation efficiency plus control release.Provides data on nanocarriers and .This brief provides a comprehensive overview of nanocarriers used for nanoencapsulation of bioactive compounds. It includes the basis of encapsulation mechanism, encapsulation efficiency, controlled release, target delivery, and its application in food, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals. .978-3-031-57487-0978-3-031-57488-7Series ISSN 2197-571X Series E-ISSN 2197-5728

Overview: .Up until the early 1980s there were a limited number of tests used for diagnosing dementia, and those existing were severely limited in terms of accurate detection, particularly in individuals with intellectual disabilities. The last 25 years however have seen several neurological measures being developed to aid in this diagnosis, with treatment further branching out to include psychologists, psychiatrists, specialised nurses and neuroscientists, as well as clinical practioners. .. ..As such, this book contains a review of the most important neuropsychological measures currently use

Overview: I welcome the privilege of writing some words of introduction to this important book. Its authors have been courageous in bringing together in one text a triad of topics that cover such large tracts of biomedical sciences as epidemiology, biochemistry, immunology, and clinical medicine. Malnutrition and infection are known to be closely linked, the one promoting the other. The adaptive immune system forms a part of the link since it is responsible for a good deal of defense against infection, and it may be affected adversely by malnutrition and indeed by infection itself. Knowledge i
