Overview: One of the major advances in the understanding of the mechanism of action of hormones, neurotransmitters and drugs had arisen from the hypothesis that the physiological or pharmacological responses are trig­ gered by their interaction with specific cell compo­ nents, termed receptors. However, the presence of receptors has been inferred from indirect data, and only recently has it been possible to study the kinetics of the interaction between drug and receptors directly, through the so called "binding technique. " This NATO-ASI on "Principles and Methods in Receptor Binding" was devo

Overview: Integrates research from a broad range of fields on primate-pathogen molecular interactions, primate immune function, and primate-pathogen co-evolution.Provides a sound base of knowledge for future in.The immune systems of human and non-human primates have diverged over time, such that some species differ considerably in their susceptibility, symptoms.,. and survival of particular infectious diseases. Variation in primate immunity is such that major human pathogens - such as immunodeficiency viruses, herpesviruses and malaria-inducing species of .Plasmodium. - elicit striking differe

Overview: A concise musical acoustics book intended for undergraduates with a basic understanding of math and science.Discusses both the physics of sound, and the psychology and physiology of how humans perceivPrinciples of Musical Acoustics focuses on the basic principles in the science and technology of music. Musical examples and specific musical instruments demonstrate the principles. The book begins with a study of vibrations and waves, in that order. These topics constitute the basic physical properties of sound, one of two pillars supporting the science of musical acoustics. The second

Overview: Recent research results on portfolio analysis.The State of the art of uncertainty methods – from probabilistic to credibilisticThe most salient feature of security returns is uncertainty. The purpose of the book is to provide systematically a quantitative method for analyzing return and risk of a portfolio investment in di?erent kinds of uncertainty and present the ways for striking a balance between investment return and risk such that an optimal portfolio can be obtained. In classical portfolio theory, security returns were assumed to be random variables, and probability theory was

Overview: How to bridge the communication gap between business people and systems experts in development work.How to understand and change organisations by using established models and methodsHow can established models and methods be employed for the understanding and change of organisations? One of the key issues presented in this book is bridging the communication gap between business leaders and IT experts in companies and public services. This is facilitated by combining different models for the development of corporate strategies, business processes and information support. The leading id

Overview: Analyse unterschiedlicher Aspekte der Professionalisierungsthese.Verbindung quantitativer und qualitativer Methoden.Spricht unterschiedliche Zielgruppen überzeugend anZu welchem Ausmaß stellen Wahlkämpfe professionalisierte politische Kommunikation dar? Die These der Professionalisierung von Wahlkämpfen ist gerade im Hinblick auf die Wirkung von Kontextfaktoren – also im Vergleich von Staaten oder über Zeit hinweg – noch nicht systematisch untersucht worden. Die Beiträge in diesem Band analysieren unterschiedliche Aspekte der Professionalisierung von Wahlkämpfen auf der Ebene der deu

Overview: This monograph deals with the expansion properties, in the complex domain, of sets of polynomials which are defined by generating relations. It thus represents a synthesis of two branches of analysis which have been developing almost independently. On the one hand there has grown up a body of results dealing with the more or less formal prop­ erties of sets of polynomials which possess simple generating relations. Much of this material is summarized in the Bateman compendia (ERDELYI [1], voi. III, chap. 19) and in TRUESDELL [1]. On the other hand, a problem of fundamental interest in
