Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Vor mehr als 300 geladenen Gästen feierte das Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) am 31. Oktober 2012 in Braunschweig sein zehnjähriges Bestehen mit einem fachlichen Symposium und einer Festveranstaltung. Die Vorträge der Referenten des Fachsymposiums und die Grußworte der Festredner sind in diesem Bericht abgedruckt. Impressionen der Jubiläumsveranstaltung und eine Aufbereitung der zehnjährigen BVL-Geschichte ergänzen den Bericht. Dieser bietet somit einen Blick auf die Vergangenheit des gesundheitlichen Verbraucherschutzes in Deutschland als auch auf die Perspektiven des BVL in der Zukunft.¿Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 96 pp. Deutsch.

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.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. 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 Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 64 pp. Englisch.

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 -Swaps, futures, options, structured instruments - a wide range of derivative products is traded in today's financial markets. Analyzing, pricing and managing such products often requires fairly sophisticated quantitative tools and methods. This book serves as an introduction to financial mathematics with special emphasis on aspects relevant in practice. In addition to numerous illustrative examples, algorithmic implementations are demonstrated using 'Mathematica' and the software package 'UnRisk' (available for both students and teachers). The content is organized in 15 chapters that can be treated as independent modules. In particular, the exposition is tailored for classroom use in a Bachelor or Master program course, as well as for practitioners who wish to further strengthen their quantitative background. 191 pp. Englisch.
