Sex/gender-specific medicine is a fundamental aspect of tailored therapy and precis

Overview: The 1997 European Conference on Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules (ECSBM) is the seventh in a biennial series of conferences devoted to the applications of molecular spectroscopy to biological molecules and related systems. The interest of these conferences rests mainly on the relationship between the structure and physiological activity of biological molecules and related systems of which these molecular species form part. This volume ofECSBM contains articles prepared by the invited lecturers and those making poster presentations at the seventh ECSBM. The reader will find mainly

Overview: Considers Africa’s economy independently to other countries’ economies and regions of the world.Presents a detailed elaboration of Africa’s specifics and tendencies of growth and development.Develops .This edited volume explores and dissects Africa‘s economic growth and sustainable development using an optimal conceptual model of the progressive continent‘s development up to and until 2030. Africa is studied not against the background of developed (OECD) and leading developing (e.g. BRICS) countries, but as a separate economy and as a self-sufficient region which follows its own prio

Overview: Provides a pedagogical review of two quantum gravity models: causal dynamical triangulations, with the aid of numerous illustrations, and n-DBI gravity.Contains many examples of and supplements to the.In this thesis, the author considers quantum gravity to investigate the mysterious origin of our universe and its mechanisms. He and his collaborators have greatly improved the analyticity of two models: causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) and n-DBI gravity, with the space-time foliation which is one common factor shared by these two separate models.. .In the first part, the analytic

Overview: Kritische Situation im Kreissaal: Gut vorbereitet für den Fall der Fälle.Alle Aspekte: Pathophysiologie, Prävention, Vorgehen, Dokumentation und Gutachten.Hilfestellung für die mediko-legale Aufarbeit.Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem seltenen, bei dessen Eintreten aber extrem kritischen Ereignis in der modernen Geburtshilfe, der Schulterdystokie. Die Vorbefassung mit dieser belastenden Komplikation im Kreissaal gehört zu den wichtigsten Maßnahmen, um im Falle einer Schulterdystokie das Risiko einer Plexusparese so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren...Bei einem Plexusschaden resultiert h

Overview: Delivers timely overview of the fundamental challenges in modern speech communication systems.Provides concise insights into recent research topics.Modern communication devices, such as mobile phones, teleconferencing systems, VoIP, etc., are often used in noisy and reverberant environments. Therefore, signals picked up by the microphones from telecommunication devices contain not only the desired near-end speech signal, but also interferences such as the background noise, far-end echoes produced by the loudspeaker, and reverberations of the desired source. These interferences degrad

Overview: Das vorliegende Buch enthält die wichtigsten Begriffe und Grundlagen zur Analyse stochastischer Systeme. Es verfolgt das Ziel, eine dem gegenwärtigen internationalen Niveau entsprechende, für Ingenieure gedachte Darstellung der Wahrscheinlichkeits­ rechnung, der Theorie zufälliger Prozesse und deren Anwendungen auf Systeme der Informationstechnik zu geben. Damit unterscheidet sich das Buch grundlegend einerseits von den hauptsächlich für Mathematiker gedachten Darstellungen, für deren Studium gute Kenntnisse der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung vorausgesetzt werden (z. B. [5, 6, 7]), und

Overview: Provides an accessible introduction to geometric scattering theory and the theory of resonances.Discusses important developments such as resonance counting, analysis of the Selberg zeta function, and .This text introduces geometric spectral theory in the context of infinite-area Riemann surfaces, providing a comprehensive account of the most recent developments in the field. For the second edition the context has been extended to general surfaces with hyperbolic ends, which provides a natural setting for development of the spectral theory while still keeping technical difficulties to

Overview: Presents novel results in the rapidly growing field of basic and applied research in biomineralization and nanobiotechnology.Authors are leading authorities in the field.Includes supplementary materia.During evolution silica deposition has been used in Protozoa, Metazoa and in plants as skeletal elements. It appears that the mechanisms for the formation of biogenic silica have evolved independently in these three taxa. In Protozoa and plants biosilicification appears to be primarily driven by non-enzymatic processes and procedes on organic matrices. In contrast, in sponges (phylum Po

Overview: One of the few books that combines knowledge management and social media.The focus on applications makes it worthwhile for practitioners as well.New insights on applying social media in organizations.Knowledge management (KM) is about managing the lifecycle of knowledge consisting of creating, storing, sharing and applying knowledge. Two main approaches towards KM are codification and personalization. The first focuses on capturing knowledge using technology and the latter on the process of socializing for sharing and creating knowledge. Social media are becoming very popular as indi

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Seizures are frightening events. They frighten the patients who experience them; they frighten those who witness them; they also frighten many physicians who have to deal with them. Most individuals with seizures present to family physicians or to emergency room physicians. However, despite the fact that seizures are among the most common neurological conditions, most general practitioners, family practice specialists, and intemists do not see large numbers of patients with seizures. Given the apoplectic appearance of generalized tonic clonic convulsi

Overview: This book addresses the issues surrounding the prospects of small countries in an integrated, globalized world. The contributors support the thesis that the new global environment does not represent a twilight for small countries, but recognise that the honeymoon has not been as comfortable as others had expected. They demonstrate that by entering the global arena or by consolidating into regional alliances small countries do not ‘lose‘, and may even gain sovereignty in areas previously closed to them.978-0-230-51319-8
