Overview: The study of the physical processes at work in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has kept a large number of astronomers busy since the discovery, in the early sixties, of the ?rst radio galaxies and quasars. After a few decades of debate there is now a clear consensus about the source of energy in AGN, namely gravitational energy released through matter accretion onto a massive black hole. The most commonly accepted ideas regarding AGN are pictured in the so-called AGN uni?ed model, although one should remember that this is still a “working” model. Tremendous progress has been made in unv

Overview: Pricing is a vital and complex element of the marketing mix. The right price can be the key to profitability and the establishment of a sustainable and successful market position. The theme of this book is that the price for a product meshes marketing and manufacturing strategies in maximising the long-term profitability of the firm within the constraints of cost structure and the market place.

Overview: First data collection (up-to-date) of the stability of proteins.Absolutely useful for biochemists, biotechnologists, food scientist and biophysicists working with proteinsProtein folding remains one of the most exclusive problems of modern biochemistry. Structure analysis has given access to the wealth of the molecular architecture of pro­ teins. As architecture needs static calculations, protein structure is always related to thermodynamic factors that govern folding and stability of a particular folded protein over the non-organized polypeptide chain. During the past decades a huge

Overview: Pro Android Web Apps teaches developers already familiar with web application development how to code and structure a web app for use on the Google Android mobile platform..Developing applications for Android and other mobile devices using web technologies is now well within reach. When the capabilities of HTML5 are combined with CSS3 and JavaScript, web application developers have an opportunity to develop compelling mobile applications using familiar tools.
