Overview: Provides an up-to-date overview of TNF family signal transduction with a special emphasis on TRAIL and Fas L.Deals with cell biology, immunology and oncology and in particular drug-resistance mechanis.This volume provides the current understanding of death receptor‘s/TLR3 signaling regulation in cancer. Death receptors, including TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, Fas and TNF-RI, owing to their ability to trigger apoptosis and to contribute to the elimination of cancer cells by the immune system have been considered, to variable extent, as important therapeutic targets for cancer therapy. But an in

Overview: The Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) or the Boundary Element Method is now well established as an efficient and accurate numerical technique for engineering problems. This book presents the application of this technique to axisymmetric engineering problems, where the geometry and applied loads are symmetrical about an axis of rotation. Emphasis is placed on using isoparametric quadratic elements which exhibit excellent modelling capabilities. Efficient numerical integration schemes are also presented in detail. Unlike the Finite Element Method (FEM), the BIE adaptation to axisymmetri

Overview: Economic growth and structural change - the future of the world economy - is analysed in this book. Conditional forecasts are given for the economic development of the most important world market countries till the year 2000. The driving forces of economic growth are identified and forecasted, in connection with collaborating scholars in most of these countries and with international organizations. This information is used in solving a coherent world model. The model consists of linked growth models for each country (or groups of countries). The solutions show that the inequality in

Overview: This study of the United Nations in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific evaluates the organization‘s role and performance in Cambodia and over refugees; regarding human rights, development, environment and the needs of women; within regional cooperation; and as an instrument of state policy. These cases illustrate how multilateral conduct through the United nations provides a barometer indicating the intensity with which policy initiatives and values are sustained by relevant governmental interests alike. In the regional settings considered, conduct towards and within the UN has amp

Overview: Presents the state of the art of Virtual Reality based tactile perception.Devoted to the special case of tactile perception of textiles.Written by experts in the fieldVirtual Reality (VR) has a lot of applications ranging from entertainment to mechanicaldesign and medical training. VR systems are often used in training situations where training in a real environment would be inappropriate and possibly even dangerous.This work was part of the EU funded HAPTEX project, which aimed at developing a VR system for the visual and haptic presentation of textiles.978-3-642-26400-9978-3-642-13

To describe the various disease complexes, morphology takes into account all methods of result representation, including immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy..The four disciplines mentioned in the subtitle describe all aspects of the CNS with regard to AIDS, including clinically sign

Overview: This is an examination of the principle works of Anglo-American novel criticism, defining the values, method and concepts that these works have in common and advancing a defence of Anglo-American humanistic criticism and the ideas proposed by Structuralism, Marxism and deconstruction.978-1-349-10885-5

Overview: In 1985 I first began my research on the life and work of Harold Hotel­ ling. That year, Harold Hotelling‘s widow had donated the collection of his private p:;tpers, correspondence and manuscripts to the Butler Library, Columbia University. This is a most appropriate place for them to reside, in that Hotelling‘s most productive period as an active researcher in eco­ nomics and statistics coincides with the years when he was Professor of Mathematical Economics at Columbia (1931-1946). The Hotelling Collection comprises some 13,000 separate items and contains numerous unpublished lette

Overview: Praxisbezogenes Werk für die Schmerzbehandlung bei Tumorpatienten.Includes supplementary material: Eine optimale Tumorschmerztherapie erfordert genaue Kenntnisse über die Entstehung, Lokalisation und Projektion des Schmerzes, sowie eine Ausschöpfung des pharmakologischen, radiologischen, anästhesiologischen und psychologischen Arsenals auch in Verbindung mit operativen Maßnahmen. Darüber hinaus müssen Aspekte der Aufklärung und ethische, soziale und seelsorgerische Gesichtspunkte beachtet werden..Die 2. Auflage wurde, bedingt durch wesentliche Fortschritte, stark erweitert. Unter and

Overview: This book is a contribution to a problem in foundational studies, the problem of the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in the sense of the theoretical significance of the transition from classical to quantum mechanics. The obvious difference between classical and quantum mechanics is that quantum mechanics is statistical and classical mechanics isn‘t. Moreover, the statistical character of the quantum theory appears to be irreducible: unlike classical statistical mechanics, the probabilities are not generated by measures on a probability space, i. e. by distributions over atomic e

Overview: This book deals with the theory of macroscopic systems. Traditionally this theory has been fragmented over a number of disciplines like thermodynamics, physical transport phenomena, sometimes referred to as non-equilibrium or irreversible thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, chemical reaction engineering and heat and power engineering. This fragmentation, the different approaches followed in presenting theory, e.g. the inductive approach as opposed to the postulational approach in textbooks on thermodynamics, many alternative representations of equations and differences in notation make
