fresh hardcover with illustrated printed covers, appears essentially unused. SABINE, LEE, ed. . The Bethe-Peierls correspondence. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific, 2007, xi, 506pp., . Text in English, with German correspondence also accompanied by English translations - Sabine Lee (U. of Birmingham) presents a collection of correspondence between Hans Berthe and Rudolf Peierls, two accomplished scientists who made important contributions to 20th-century physics. Ranging from 1927 to 1995, the letters began when Berthe and Peierls were students in Munich and continued throughout their distinguished careers into retirement. They throw light not only on the lives of these two remarkable individuals, but also on the historical circumstances in which they lived and worked, and on the academic and political environments in which they operated. The materials are organized chronologically into four phases in Berthe and Peierls academic development and their working and personal relationship. Each of the four sections is prefaced by brief introductory remarks explaining the background to some of the developments mentioned in the correspondence. - CONTENTS: Two Full and Good Lives -- 1.

Neuware - China's Elite Politics provides a new theoretical perspective on elite politics in China and uses this theoretical perspective to explain power transfer from Jiang Zemin to Hu Jintao and political dynamics between different factional groups since the Sixteenth Party Congress of November 2002. It explains the transition in structural terms, presents characteristics of China's political elites, and analyzes the balance of power among formal institutions as well as among factional groups. It also examines political interactions between Jiang Zemin and his cronies on the one side and Hu Jintao and his allies on the other over a number of issues: the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS); ideological institutionalization; the politics over economic overheating; Jiang Zemin's complete retirement; and Hu Jintao's power consolidation in both ideological and personnel terms.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Tissue engineering has been recognized as offering an alternative technique to whole-organ and tissue transplantation for diseased, failed, or malfunctioned organs. To reconstruct a new tissue via tissue engineering, the following triad components are needed: (1) cells which are harvested and dissociated from the donor tissue; (2) biomaterials as scaffold substrates in which cells are attached and cultured, resulting in implantation at the desired site of the functioning tissue; and (3) growth factors which promote and/or prevent cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Of these three key components, scaffolds play a critical role in tissue engineering. This timely book focuses on the preparation and characterization of scaffold biomaterials for the application of tissue-engineered scaffolds. More importantly, it serves as an experimental guidebook on the standardization of the fabrication process and characterization of scaffolding technology.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ambition, genius, thought, imagination, love, hate, greed and, above all, consciousness ourselves as alive and as part of our world ¿ all this is somehow enabled by the brain. The brain is the person, and if it goes wrong, a person is ruined. This book is about part of what the brain does ¿ a role of which many of us are hardly aware, but one that has ensured, the survival of mankind. Despite famine, drought, wars, cold, infections and hostile environments, we survive as a species ¿ though not always as individuals. All this time, our brains have been coping with what fate throws at us ¿ a process that some call adaptation. How does the brain do it How does it know what's needed How does it enable us to provide that need How much do we depend on our own brains, or on those of others This book is different from other books on the brain. It deals with the brain's role in survival, rather than ¿higher¿ cognitive functions (such as language or thought). It describes the special part of the brain that keeps you alive: that makes you feel hungry when you need energy, makes you feel thirsty when you need water, drives you to reproduce so that your species survives, makes you fearful of things or individuals that might harm you, and defends you against adversity.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The spatial aspects of epidemics have been a largely ignored feature of plant ecology, yet an understanding of the spatial dynamics of pathogens is essential to quantifying the impact of diseases on wild plants. Moreover, it may provide valuable information for the control of human diseases. This seminal work fulfills such a role by describing the basics of botanical epidemiology within the context of plant ecology. A variety of models are covered to estimate key parameters at both the individual plant and population levels, with emphasis on the value of spatial-temporal models in the evolutionary dynamics of pathogens. Practical methods are presented to validate these models, thus making this book accessible to theorists and empiricists alike.
