Overview: This book, Recent Advances in Geriatrics, is based on the proceedings of the 8th Course of the School of Gerontology and Geriatrics held in Erice (Trapani, Italy) at the In­ ternational Centre for Scientific Culture "Ettore Majorana" on March 20-25, 1997. This international effort was organized jointly by professors from the University of Palermo (It­ aly) and from Wayne State University (Michigan, USA) as a result of a cross-cultural col­ laboration of several years. _ The increasing average age of the populations in industrialized countries has re­ sulted in increased interest in t

Overview: Posits that the impact of relativism extends far beyond the direct influence of relativism itself.Argues for the dynamic of relativization and various positive and negative reactions to be taken into This book approaches post-truth and relativism in a multidisciplinary fashion. Researchers from astrophysics, philosophy, psychology, media studies, religious studies, anthropology, social epistemology and sociology discuss and analyse the impact of relativism and post-truth both within the academy and in society at large. The motivation for this multidisciplinary approach is that relati

It includes an introduction and eight chapters, focusing on historical classical and contemporary structural branches of realist IR theorizing in historical and political contexts in which realist thinking did develop. It reminds us of realist key fi

Overview: The theory of the operation of many modern man-made discrete event systems such as manufacturing systems, computer and communications networks largely belongs in the domain of queuing theory and operations research. However, some recent research indicates that the evolution of these man-made systems demonstrates dynamic features that are similar to those of natural physical systems. This monograph presents a multidisciplinary approach to the study of discrete event systems, and is complementary to textbooks in queuing and control systems theories.978-3-540-19872-7978-3-540-39330-6Ser

Overview: Der vorliegende Band 11 der "Regelungstechnik" führt gemäß der Ziel­ setzung des Bandes I die Behandlung der Regelungstechnik als methodi­ sche Wissenschaft fort. Dabei wurden bezüglich der Stoffauswahl weit­ gehend solche Analyse- und Syntheseverfahren ausgesucht, die bei der Realisierung moderner Regelkonzepte benötigt werden. Hierzu gehören insbesondere die Grundlagen zur Behandlung von Regelsystemen im Zu­ stands raum sowie die Grundkenntnisse der digitalen Regelung. Daneben muß aber der Regelungsingenieur auch die Methoden zur Darstellung nichtlinearer Regelsysteme beherrschen,

Overview: ​Like many sectors, agriculture is experiencing a continuous digitalization, i.e. an increase in data-driven technologies used. In contrast to companies of other critical infrastructures, a typical farm is comparatively small and often runs as a family business. Accordingly, the demands on farming technology, its implementation, and regulations are different in many terms. Currently, a promising technological trend of agriculture is smart farming, that incorporates more precise cultivation with less manual effort. But such new developments usually lack an assessment about its impact

Overview: Includes supplementary material: A collection of readily reproducible methods for the design, preparation, and use of RNAs for silencing gene expression in cells and organisms. The techniques range widely and include methods addressing the biochemical aspects of the silencing machinery, RNA silencing in non-mammalian organisms, and the in vivo delivery of siRNAs and silencing vectors. There are also techniques for designing, preparing, and using RNAs to silence gene expression, for fine-tuning regulation by targeting specific isoforms of a given gene, and for the study and use of mic

Overview: First book to dedicate one chapter each to each of the main types of RNA editing.Special focus on correlation between RNA structure and RNA function.Written by experts in the field.Includes supplement“Editing a book on editing” has a certain “tongue in cheek” connotation to it, and I must admit that I was not aware what the job truly entailed when the project started. However, over the many months that it took to complete the book, it was interesting to realize that indeed “printing-type editing” and “biological editing” have many matching characteristics. Therefore, the quote by the

Overview: An impressive characteristic of Dudley Shapere‘s studies in the philosophy of the sciences has been his dogged reasonableness. He sorts things out, with logical care and mastery of the materials, and with an epistemological curiosity for the historical happenings which is both critical and respectful. Science changes, and the philosopher had better not link philosophical standards too tightly to either the latest orthodox or the provocative up­ start in scientific fashions; and yet, as critic, the philosopher must not only master the sciences but also explicate their meanings, not th

Overview: Examines the process of preparation of expression vectors and disruption of yeast cells to enable to isolation of the recombinant protein.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible result.In the last few years, significant advances have been made in understanding how a yeast cell responds to the stress of producing a recombinant protein, and how this information can be used to engineer improved host strains. The molecular biology of the expression vector, through the choice of promoter, tag and codon optimization of the target gene, is also a key determinant of a high-yi
