Overview: Supplement to the first data collection (up-to-date) of the stability of proteins.Absolutely useful for biochemists, biotechnologists, food scientists and biophysicists working with proteins.Includes In 1998, we published the data compilation PROTEIN STABILITY AND FOLDING which covered the data from the early beginnings of thermodynamic studies of protein folding until 1996. Since then, the amount of available thermodynamic data has increased nearly twice. The data constitute very important additions to the information on the protein folding problem, the construction of mutant protei

Overview: Offers new insights into the eugenics and birth control movement in Greece to show the continuity of eugenics during the post-war period.Presents research from previously unexplored Greek, American anThis book sheds light on the history of Greek eugenics during the post-war period. At this time, eugenics had already been condemned by international declarations. Alexandra Barmpouti, however, challenges the assumption that eugenics disappeared and confirms the continuity of eugenics after the Second World War. She looks at the Greek paradigm because it included the establishment of a e

Overview: Population biology has been investigated quantitatively for many decades, resulting in a rich body of scientific literature. Ecologists often avoid this literature, put off by its apparently formidable mathematics. This textbook provides an introduction to the biology and ecology of populations by emphasizing the roles of simple mathematical models in explaining the growth and behavior of populations. The author only assumes acquaintance with elementary calculus, and provides tutorial explanations where needed to develop mathematical concepts. Examples, problems, extensive marginal n

Overview: Takes into account both the Chinese contexts and Western conceptions of practicing democracy.Details the unique operable features of the multiple deliberative democracy in China.Explores the areas of This book argues that most public affairs can be openly discussed before consensus is reached, and people from different backgrounds should be encouraged to get involved in policy-making on an equal basis. This is considered multiple deliberative democracy. The book features in-depth discussions on why multiple deliberative democracy is needed in China, what specific procedures it entail

Overview: First book devoted to hydrocolloid (water-soluble polymer) beads, their properties and their applications.Describes numerous methods of bead production.Covers both the properties and the traditional aBeads made from Egyptian faience have been excavated from grave deposits (c. 4000–3100 BC), together with beads of glazed steatite (a soft rock) and of se- precious stones such as turquoise, carnelian, quartz, and lapis lazuli. Information on these and many more ancient beads used for ornaments and jewelry, ritual ceremonies, as art artifacts and gifts for amorous women throughout histor

Overview: Enriches the understanding of geophysical processes taking place in various natural environments.Presents the results of recent research in the field of interactions of the lithosphere, atmosphere, an.This book includes new results of theoretical and experimental studies of various scales of the processes occurring on the earth including the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Intensive development of research in these areas is due to several factors: 1) the widespread introduction of computer technology, allowing the calculation of complex phenomena, 2) the invention and impro

Overview: Provides a state-of-the-art introduction to fuzzy logics that is both accessible to researchers and students, and comprehensive, being the first book to take into account the many developments in the .Fuzzy logics are many-valued logics that are well suited to reasoning in the context of vagueness. They provide the basis for the wider field of Fuzzy Logic, encompassing diverse areas such as fuzzy control, fuzzy databases, and fuzzy mathematics. This book provides an accessible and up-to-date introduction to this fast-growing and increasingly popular area. It focuses in particular on

Overview: Presented here is an analysis of plant development and plant metabolism using the tools of genetics and molecular biology, such as mutant analysis, mutation tagging, mapping using polymorphic characters and basic molecular biology techniques. Studies with a range of model genetic organisms, most notably maize and .Arabidopsis., are included. The reader gains a comprehensive view of the subject which is more and more of both scientific and industrial interest. The value of basic research in plants is highlighted and examples where basic studies have led to applications in agricultural

Overview: Poland is one of Europe‘s economic out-performers. The country‘s history and geography encourage it to be in favour of deeper European integration.

Overview: Man, through intensive observations of natural phenomena, has learned about some of the basic principles which govern nature. The aurora is one of the most fascinating of these natural phenomena, and by studying it, man has just begun to comprehend auroral phenomena in terms of basic cosmic electrodynamic processes. The systematic and extensive observation of the aurora during and after the great international enterprise, the International Geophysical Year (lGY), led to the concept of the auroral substorm. Like many other geophysical phenomena, auroral displays have a dual time (univ

Overview: Provides comprehensive guide for practitioners and beginners, describing the physics of semiconductors from fundamentals to applications.Proceeds from first principles to description of actual devices.This book describes the basic physics of semiconductors, including the hierarchy of transport models, and connects the theory with the functioning of actual semiconductor devices.  Details are worked out carefully and derived from the basic physics, while keeping the internal coherence of the concepts and explaining various levels of approximation. Examples are based on silicon due to i

Overview: As early as in the twenties and thirties of our century Ernst Scharrer published papers suggesting, on the basis of morphological findings, that the brain exhibits secretory function which he called neurosecretion. Only a few decades later Scharrer‘s presumption was fully confirmed by the isolation of a number of neuropeptides and by the disclosure of their chemical stuctures. Neuropeptide research is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in biomedicin. Initially investigators focused their attention on the existence and role of neuropeptides within the hypothalamo-hypophyseal sys

Overview: The first edition of this book appeared in the Federal Republic of Gennany in 1984. and in English translation as "Computer: A Challenge for Business Administration" in 1985. This book. which is a translation of the fourth Gennan edition. has been comprehensively revised. As a result both the character and the expected audience of the book have changed. which is reflected in the alteration to the title. This book adresses itself to issues arising from the research areas of both infonnation systems and computer science. Computer science departments are primarily concerned with the dev

Overview: This preface is very short, not least because an introductory chapter incorporating much of the material of a conventional preface has been included and covers most of the important points in somewhat greater detail than we have scope for here. The reader should consult this as a guide to the structure of this volume, and the purpose it serves. Nevertheless, some general comments are pertinent. At a practical level, some understanding of the properties of food biopolymers is presumably historical, perhaps dating back to the invention of fire, when stone age man first discovered that

Overview: Die vorliegende Studie gibt erstmals seit fast 20 Jahren wieder einen Überblick über das System der bundesdeutschen Kleinparteien, die bei Wahlen zumeist unterhalb der 1%-Grenze verbleiben. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt der Betrachtung auf den weitgehend verfassungskonformen Gruppierungen, die bisher generell sehr wenig Beachtung fanden. Fragestellungen sind: - Welche aktiven Kleinparteien gibt es? - Wie können sie strukturiert werden? - Was sind die legalen und gesellschaftlichen Bedingungsfaktoren ihrer politischen Arbeit? - Welche Kooperationsprozesse gibt es unter ihnen? - Welche F
