Overview: In the search for new functional materials, a clearunderstanding about the relationship between the physical propertiesand the atomic-scale structure of materials is needed. Here, theauthors provide graduate students and scientists with an in-depthaccount of the evolutionary behavior of oxide functional materialswithin specific structural systems, discussing the intrinsicconnections among these different structural systems..Over 300 illustrations and key appendices support the text.978-1-4613-7449-7978-1-4615-5367-0

Overview: This cutting-edge textbook translates benchmark research on functional neuroimaging modalities into both clinical applications and the basic physics behind them for the non-scientist physician and cog.Functional Neuroradiology: Principles and Clinical Applications, is a follow-up to Faro and Mohamed’s groundbreaking work, Functional (BOLD)MRI: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications.? This new 49 chapter textbook is comprehensive and offers a complete introduction to the state-of-the-art functional imaging in Neuroradiology, including the physical principles and clinical applicati

Overview: The quantitative analysis of blood flow within central and peripheral blood vessels has attracted more and more interest, for with the rapid developments in vascular surgery and the introduction of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, it is becom- ing increasingly important to be able to measure regional blood flow in man. In clinical radiology, angiography has been used predominantly from the point of view of its morphological applications. However, theoretically angiography may also be regarded as a specific application of indicator-dilution measurements of blood flow. The indica

Overview: Der Band liefert eine Bestandsaufnahme der deutschen Friedens- und Konfliktforschung aus historischer, v?lkerrechtlicher, politik- und kulturwissenschaftlicher wie naturwissenschaftlicher Sicht..Friedens- und Konfliktforschung thematisiert ein Politikfeld von brennender Aktualit?t. Nur eine ganzheitliche Betrachtungsweise, basierend auf dem fachübergreifenden Dialog, vermag in der Zukunft, Ans?tze zu einem pragmatischen Forschungsfortschritt zu entwickeln und zu politisch/gesellschaftlichen L?sungen beizutragen. Renommierte Autoren aus den genannten Disziplinen liefern hierzu neue Ei

Overview: In this posthumous book, the late Professor R. Hooykaas(1906-1994) conveys a lifetime of historical thought aboutmodes of scientific advance over the centuries. In what variety ofways has the human mind, with all its subjectivity and its capacityfor self-deception, but also its piercing gifts of discovery, managedto come to terms with `the whimsical tricks of nature‘? Central tothis erudite, penetrating, and widely ranging study is Hooykaas‘sdistinction between .facts. (given by nature yet entirely subjectto our mode of interpreting them), .faith. (broad conceptions likethe idea of o

Overview: Facilitation can provide a key route to creating buy-in to the need for change and associated change initiatives. But, this only happens when facilitation is used in the right way. The authors outline the guiding principles of facilitation that every change leader needs to understand in order to successfully drive change.978-1-349-36176-2978-0-230-59030-4

Overview: Our current understanding of a/~ T cell receptor (TCR) ex- pressing T cells advanced from function and specificity to the molecular organization ofthe TCR.We now know that the TCR a and ~ chains together express specificity for (antigenic) peptides presented by the "responder" M H C allele, thus explain- ing the phenomenon of MHC restriction at a molecular level. Surprisingly even though our perception of the molecular organization of the y5 TCR is well advanced, current knowledge of function and specificity of the y5 T cell subset is poor. There- fore it appeared rather timely to br

Overview: The Soviet collapse of 1991 - the Great August liberation - demonstrated the total exhaustion of Marxist-Leninist agitation and propaganda. It was no longer possible to live on slogans. The failure of Soviet agitprop is also the failure of Soviet censorship the latter being a unique institution in anti-thought. In From Glasnost to the Internet Ellis analyses the consequences of censorship, before tackling the media legislation of the Russian Federation and the new dangers to the free flow of information emerging both within and outside the Russian Federation.978-1-349-27076-7

Overview: The present book is based on lectures given by the author at the University of Tokyo during the past ten years. It is intended as a textbook to be studied by students on their own or to be used in a course on Functional Analysis, i. e. , the general theory of linear operators in function spaces together with salient features of its application to diverse fields of modern and classical analysis. Necessary prerequisites for the reading of this book are summarized, with or without proof, in Chapter 0 under titles: Set Theory, Topo- logical Spaces, Measure Spaces and Linear Spaces. Then,

Overview: In the last decade several international conferences on Finsler, Lagrange and Hamilton geometries were organized in Bra§ov, Romania (1994), Seattle, USA (1995), Edmonton, Canada (1998), besides the Seminars that periodically are held in Japan and Romania. All these meetings produced important progress in the field and brought forth the appearance of some reference volumes. Along this line, a new International Conference on Finsler and Lagrange Geometry took place August 26-31,2001 at the "Al.I.Cuza" University in Ia§i, Romania. This Conference was organized in the framework of a Memo

Overview: At this Obergurgl seminar, theoreticians and experimentalists discussed recent developments in laser interactions. This volume contains the texts of invited lectures and abstracts of contributed papers. The main topics discussed are: * multiphoton ionization * above-threshold ionization * collisions in strong fields * atoms in intense fields * chaos in radiative interactions * electron correlations in multiphoton processes * Rydberg atoms in external fields * other laser interactions. Thus a broad and up-to-date account of laser interactions is given which will be of interest to scie

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Leading academic and biomedical researchers comprehensively review the status of essential fatty acids (EFA) in nutrition, medicine, psychology, and pharmacology. Topics range from a discussion of EFA basic mechanisms to their effects on individual psychiatry and behavior, and include extensive coverage of pathology, DHA in CNS development, and phospholipid and fatty acid composition and metabolism. Comprehensive and forward-looking, Fatty Acids: Physiological and Behavioral Functions reviews and critically evaluates our current knowledge of EFA, sett

Overview: On October 24th, 1994, the pro-government German newspaper ‘Die Welt‘ reported that the Minister of Family Affairs, Mrs. Hannelore Ransch, member of the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CD U), withdrew her candidacy for a second term after serving a four year term. While Chancellor Helmut Kohl and other party colleagues officially expressed their regret for this move, the conservative press openly announced their relief. A symbolic photo of Ransch was published together with the article: In the background, two direction indicators are discernable, one pointing to the ‘emergency exi
