Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidases (¿-GTs) are members of the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase superfamily, enzymes that cleave the ¿-glutamyl amide bond of glutathione to liberate cysteinylglycine. The released ¿-glutamyl group can be transferred to water (hydrolysis) or to amino acids or short peptides (transpeptidation). ¿-GT plays a key role in the gamma glutamyl cycle by regulating the cellular levels of the antioxidant glutathione, hence it is a critical enzyme in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis.¿-GT is upregulated during inflammation and in several human tumors, and it is involved in many physiological disorders related to oxidative stress, such as Parkinson¿s disease and diabetes. Furthermore, this enzyme is used as a marker of liver disease and cancer. This book coverscurrent knowledge about the structure-function relationship of ¿-GTs andgives information aboutapplications of ¿-GTs in different fields ranging from clinical biochemistry to biotechnology and biomedicine.¿Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 68 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Das Anordnen von Strukturen, Systemen, Bausteinen und Räumen im Städtebau Städtebauliches Entwerfen basiert auf Ordnungs- und Gestaltungsprinzipien, die funktionale Ansprüche erfüllen und zugleich die Entwurfselemente zu einem unverwechselbaren Ganzen fügen müssen. Auch wenn Entwürfe fast immer vom Zeitgeist geprägt sind, so sind die kompositorischen Grundprinzipien weitgehend zeitlos.Stadt entwerfen erläutert die wichtigsten Entwurfs- und Darstellungsprinzipien im Städtebau anhand von ausgewählten historischen Beispielen und internationalen zeitgenössischen Wettbewerbsbeiträgen, entworfen von Büros wie Foster+Partners, KCAP Architects & Planners, MVRDV, OMA und anderen.Im Zentrum der Publikation steht die Frage, wie die Projekte entworfen wurden und welche Methoden und Instrumente dem Entwerfer zur Verfügung stehen: Neben dem klassischen Entwurf, der im Kopf des Entwerfers entsteht, erweitert sich gegenwärtig das Repertoire durch neue, computergestützte Methoden, wie z.B. dem parametrischen Entwerfen, bei dem veränderbare Parameter den Entwurf automatisiert beeinflussen und eine Vielfalt von Lösungsmöglichkeiten anbieten. Drei Best-Practice-Beispiele, die Hafencity Hamburg, Belval-Ouest in Luxemburg und die Südstadt in Tübingen, zeigen im Schlusskapitel, wie prämierte städtebauliche Konzepte und Entwürfe erfolgreich realisiert werden.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Quaternion andClifford Fourier and wavelet transformations generalize the classical theory to higher dimensions and are becoming increasingly important in diverse areas of mathematics, physics, computer science and engineering. This edited volume presents the state of the art in these hypercomplex transformations. The Clifford algebras unify Hamilton¿s quaternions with Grassmann algebra. A Clifford algebra is a complete algebra of a vector space and all its subspaces including the measurement of volumes and dihedral angles between any pair of subspaces. Quaternion and Clifford algebras permit the systematic generalization of many known concepts.This book provides comprehensive insights into current developments and applications including their performance and evaluation. Mathematically, it indicates where further investigation is required. For instance, attention is drawn to the matrix isomorphisms for hypercomplex algebras, which will help readers to see that software implementations are within our grasp.It also contributes to a growing unification of ideas and notation across the expanding field of hypercomplex transforms and wavelets. The first chapter provides a historical background and an overview of the relevant literature, and shows how the contributions that follow relate to each other and to prior work. The book will be a valuable resource for graduate students as well as for scientists and engineers.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 368 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pierre Grisvard, one of the most distinguished French mathematicians, died on April 22, 1994. A Conference was held in November 1994 out of which grew the invited articles contained in this volume. All of the papers are related to functional analysis applied to partial differential equations, which was Grisvard's specialty. Indeed his knowledge of this area was extremely broad. He began his career as one of the very first students of Jacques Louis Lions, and in 1965, he presented his 'State Thesis' on interpolation spaces, using in particular, spectral theory for linear operators in Banach spaces. After 1970, he became a specialist in the study of optimal regularity for par tial differential equations with boundary conditions. He studied singulari ties coming from coefficients, boundary conditions, and mainly non-smooth domains, and left a legacy of precise results which have been published in journals and books. Pierre Grisvard spent most of his career as a full professor at the University of Nice, where he started in 1967. For shorter or longer periods, he visited several foreign countries, and collaborated with some of the most famous mathematicians in his field. He was also an excellent organizer and directed a large number of Ph.D. students. Finally, this volume contains a bibliography of Grisvard's works as well as one paper which he wrote and which has not been published before. 292 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Volume 38 of 'Progress in Drug Research' contains four reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with novel quinolones and their antibacterial properties; neu ropeptides and their immunoregulatory role; the new generation of monoamine oxidase inhibitors and their potential use in Parkin son's disease; and with alternative approaches to the discovery of novel antipsychotic agents. These four reviews present important tools in the search for new and useful medicines. In the 32 years that 'Progress in Drug Research' has existed, the Editor has enjoyed the valuable help and advice of many col leagues. Readers, the authors of the reviews, and, last but not least, the reviewers have all contributed greatly to the success of the series. Although the comments received so far have generally been favorable, it is nevertheless necessary to analyze and to reassess the current position and the future direction of such a review series.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 380 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -There is now compelling evidence that the complexity of higher organisms correlates with the relative amount of non-coding RNA rather than the number of protein-coding genes. Previously dismissed as ¿junk DNA¿, it is the non-coding regions of the genome that are responsible for regulation, facilitating complex temporal and spatial gene expression through the combinatorial effect of numerous mechanisms and interactions working together to fine-tune gene expression. The major regions involved in regulation of a particular gene are the 5¿ and 3¿ untranslated regions and introns. In addition, pervasive transcription of complex genomes produces a variety of non-coding transcripts that interact with these regions and contribute to regulation. This book discusses recent insights into the regulatory roles of the untranslated gene regions and non-coding RNAs in the control of complex gene expression, as well as the implications of this in terms of organism complexity and evolution.¿Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the major concerns of theoretical computer science is the classifi cation of problems in terms of how hard they are. The natural measure of difficulty of a function is the amount of time needed to compute it (as a function of the length of the input). Other resources, such as space, have also been considered. In recursion theory, by contrast, a function is considered to be easy to compute if there exists some algorithm that computes it. We wish to classify functions that are hard, i.e., not computable, in a quantitative way. We cannot use time or space, since the functions are not even computable. We cannot use Turing degree, since this notion is not quantitative.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The mathematical theory of networks and systems has a long, and rich history, with antecedents in circuit synthesis and the analysis, design and synthesis of actuators, sensors and active elements in both electrical and mechanical systems. Fundamental paradigms such as the state-space real ization of an input/output system, or the use of feedback to prescribe the behavior of a closed-loop system have proved to be as resilient to change as were the practitioners who used them. This volume celebrates the resiliency to change of the fundamental con cepts underlying the mathematical theory of networks and systems. The articles presented here are among those presented as plenary addresses, invited addresses and minisymposia presented at the 12th International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, held in St. Louis, Missouri from June 24 - 28, 1996. Incorporating models and methods drawn from biology, computing, materials science and math ematics, these articles have been written by leading researchers who are on the vanguard of the development of systems, control and estimation for the next century, as evidenced by the application of new methodologies in distributed parameter systems, linear nonlinear systems and stochastic sys tems for solving problems in areas such as aircraft design, circuit simulation, imaging, speech synthesis and visionics. 452 pp. Englisch.
