Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -There is hardly a science that is without the notion of 'system'. We have systems in mathematics, formal systems in logic, systems in physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, architectural-, operating-, infonnation-, programming systems in computer science, management-and PJoduction systems in industrial applications, economical-, ecological-, biological systems, and many more. In many of these disciplines formal tools for system specification, construction, verification, have been developed as well as mathematical concepts for system modeling and system simulation. Thus it is quite natural to expect that systems theory as an interdisciplinary and well established science offering general concepts and methods for a wide variety of applications is a subject in its own right in academic education. However, as can be seen from the literature and from the curricula of university studies -at least in Central Europe-, it is subordinated and either seen as part of mathematics with the risk that mathematicians, who may not be familiar with applications, define it in their own way, or it is treated separately within each application field focusing on only those aspects which are thought to be needed in the particular application. This often results in uneconomical re-inventing and re-naming of concepts and methods within one field, while the same concepts and methods are already well introduced and practiced in other fields. The fundamentals on general systems theory were developed several decades ago. We note the pioneering work of M. A. Arbib, R. E. Kalman, G. 1. Klir, M. D.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The traditional Vienna Asthma Forum was held in early June 1996 and th was the 6 in a biennial mode within 10 years. This time it was dedicated to the long-acting beta-2-agonists, which were registered (or just about to be) in most European countries. The introduction of this therapeutic principle into routine praxis of asthma therapy was so successful that a closer view on the subject from a scientific point was warranted. Salmeterol, shortly afterwards formo terol are the drugs available for the inhalative route, while bambuterol serves as an oral agent. The scientists particularly involved in the design and pharma cokinetics of these drugs were invited, and we were lucky that Malcolm Johnson (Glaxo), Leif Svensson (Astra) and Gary Anderson (Ciba Geigy) delivered fascinating contributions. However, drug therapy of this kind can only be effective if based on a thorough understanding of the molecular biology of cells and receptors, which was superbly covered by Sheila Collins (Durham) and Ian M. Adcock (London). The pediatric indications for beta-2-agonists were commented by Manfred G6tz (Vienna), and a large spectrum of clinical studies, reported by G. Boyd (Glasgow), A.P. Greening (Edinburgh), M. 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Some of the best current research on realistic rendering is included in this volume. It emphasizes the current 'hot topics' in this field: image based rendering, and efficient local and global-illumination calculations. In the first of these areas, there are several contributions on real-world model acquisition and display, on using image-based techniques for illumination and on efficient ways to parameterize and compress images or light fields, as well as on clever uses of texture and compositing hardware to achieve image warping and 3D surface textures. In global and local illumination, there are contributions on extending the techniques beyond diffuse reflections, to include specular and more general angle dependent reflection functions, on efficiently representing and approximating these reflection functions, on representing light sources and on approximating visibility and shadows. Finally, there are two contributions on how to use knowledge about human perception to concentrate the work of accurate rendering only where it will be noticed, and a survey of computer graphics techniques used in the production of a feature length computer-animated film with full 3D characters. 356 pp. Englisch.

Intensive Care Med This volume contains selected works from the 25th Anniversary of the International Conference on Intracranial Pressure (ICP) held in Williamsburg, Virginia. The theme of the meeting was Intracranial Pressure and Neuromonitoring and focused on all the current state of the art brain monitoring methodologies and their application to brain injury. The brain monitoring techniques covered a wide spectrum from neurochemical monitoring of the injured brain to specialized techniques for assessing shunt function in normal pressure hydrocephalus. It also includes the most recent advances in monitoring of the brain oxygen levels using electrodes or the less invasive Near Infrared Sprectroscopy devices. Controversial issues regarding the management of ICP and CPP or both are also addressed and there are several works dealing with this topic. Of particular interest is the group of papers describing diagnosis and outcome in normal pressure hydrocephalus. It is the first compilation of papers which covers all the latest brain monitoring studies in both ischemia, trauma and hydrocephalus. The manuscripts in this volume have been selected from over 300 abstracts submitted to this international symposium. The abstracts are also published in order to provide the most comprehensive view of the progress made in brain injury research. 452 pp. Englisch.
