Overview: Useful for post-doctoral researchers and post-graduate research students working on Shh signalling in a particular organhe hedgehog signalling pathway is highly conserved and seen in organisms ranging from Drosophila to humans. This pathway is Tcritical in determining cell fate decisions in a variety of different cell types. There are several vertebrate analogues of the Drosophila hedgehog protein of which the most widely studied is Sonic hedgehog (Shh). Shh signalling classically involves the Gli family of zinc-fmger transcription factors. The Shh signalling pathway is well characte

These new systems will basically belong to two categories: (i) satellite networks for mobile/personal communications, mainly with handheld terminals, and (ii) satellite networks for broadband multimedia communica

Overview: Lee Hannah, along with his selected authors, are some of the few people really working on the issue of extinction and climate change today.There is no more important issue in conservation biology than.The research paper "Extinction Risk from Climate Change" published in the journal Nature in January 2004 created front-page headlines around the world. The notion that climate change could drive more than a million species to extinction captured both the popular imagination and the attention of policy-makers, and provoked an unprecedented round of scientific critique..Saving a Million S

Overview: Presents open components for embedded real-time adaptive and self-organizing applications.Describes innovative techniques in: scheduling, memory management, quality of service, communications supporti.This book describes the emerging field of self-organizing, multicore, distributed and real-time embedded systems. Self.‐organization of both hardware and software can be a key technique to handle the growing complexity of modern computing systems. Distributed systems running hundreds of tasks on dozens of processors, each equipped with multiple cores, requires self‐organization principl

Overview: Tamsin Wilton interviewed close to a hundred women in order to understand how we go about constructing a sexual identity as ‘lesbian‘ or ‘heterosexual‘. How do women experience desire? What are the differences between men and women as sexual partners? How do desire, pleasure, intimacy, gender and morality become part of women‘s sense of self? Asking these, and other questions, this study breaks through the stand-off between essentialists and constructionists to propose a fresh re-thinking of the desiring self.978-1-4039-0574-1978-0-230-50621-3

Overview: The book deals with a powerful and convenient approach to a great variety of types of problems of the recursive monte-carlo or stochastic approximation type. Such recu- sive algorithms occur frequently in stochastic and adaptive control and optimization theory and in statistical esti- tion theory. Typically, a sequence {X } of estimates of a n parameter is obtained by means of some recursive statistical th st procedure. The n estimate is some function of the n_l estimate and of some new observational data, and the aim is to study the convergence, rate of convergence, and the pa- metr

Overview: Workstation and computer users have an ever increasing need for solutions that offer high performance, low cost, small footprints (space requirements), and ease of use. Also, the availability of a wide range of software and hardware options (from a variety of independent vendors) is important because it simplifies the task of expanding existing applications and stretching into new ones. The SBus has been designed and optimized within this framework, and it represents a next-generation approach to a system‘s I/O intercon- nect needs. This book is a collection of information intended t
