Analysis of Amyloid Using Various Methods
by Josef Makovitzky Levente Emődy Thomas Raul Appel Beáta Marianna KovácsThis book explores the world of amyloid, consisting of heterogeneous deposits that have captivated scientists for decades. Amyloid, characterized by its highly organized insoluble protein fibrils exhibiting cross-layered quaternary beta-sheet structures, comprises diverse components such as the P-component, sialic acid, O-acyl sialic acid, and sGAG components. This assembly forms an anisotropic entity that induces birefringence in linearly polarized light, creating a distinctive optical signature. Initially linked to human disease and tissue damage, the predominant idea that amyloid only harms the host has been challenged. Recent pioneering studies have uncovered the existence of functional amyloid fibers in unexpected domains, from bacteria to mammals. Advances during the 1960s and 1970s, along with seminal immunohistochemical investigations, gave impetus to immunobiological analysis of amyloid in the 1980s. Notable work, such as the exploration of amyloid fiber staining techniques and the comprehensive study of histochemical properties, have enriched the understanding of this enigmatic deposit. The book presents a current overview of amyloid research in health and disease, with contributions from the prestigious biennial Amyloid Forum. Written by a distinguished researcher with nearly five decades of experience, the book encompasses five meticulously elaborated chapters. From human and animal deposits to bacterial formations, isolated fibrils, prions, and amyloid-related neurodegenerative disorders, each category of deposit is given a thorough examination. Innovative topo-optical staining techniques - polarization microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy - reveal intricate structures in all species. Coherent structural features are authenticated by various staining reactions and different digestions. A key segment dissects animal prion fibers, revealing their intricate architecture by topo-optical reactions and uncovering selective arrangements of components. To complete this, the book confirms the postulated helical structure of the amyloid fiber. This innovative idea is validated by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy, which reveals ordered and helically stacked amyloid protein fibrils in β-sheet conformation. Associations with chondroitin, heparan sulfate, and looser sphingolipid linkages further unravel the structural complexities of amyloid. Also offers an insightful journey into the realm of amyloid, combining historical knowledge with cutting-edge methodologies, redefining the understanding of this intricate phenomenon.

Analysis of Bipolar and CMOS Amplifiers
by Amir M. SodagarThe classical approach to analog circuit analysis is a daunting prospect to many students, requiring tedious enumeration of contributing factors and lengthy calculations. Most textbooks apply this cumbersome approach to small-signal amplifiers, which becomes even more difficult as the number of components increases. Analysis of Bipolar and CMOS Amplifiers offers students an alternative that enables quick and intuitive analysis and design: the analysis-by-inspection method.This practical and student-friendly text demonstrates how to achieve approximate results that fall within an acceptable range of accuracy and are based on sound scientific principles. Working from the basics of amplifiers and transistors to biasing, single- and multistage amplifiers, current sources and mirrors, and analysis at midband, low, and high frequencies, the author demonstrates the interrelationship between behavior in both the time and frequency domains and balances the discussion between bipolar and CMOS circuits. Each chapter closes with a set of simulation examples in SPICE and MATLAB® that give students hands-on experience applying the concepts and methods using industry-standard tools.Building a practical working knowledge around a solid theoretical framework, Analysis of Bipolar and CMOS Amplifiers prepares your students to meet the challenges of quick and accurate approximations and software-based analysis awaiting them in the workplace.

by Ryan O'DonnellBoolean functions are perhaps the most basic objects of study in theoretical computer science. They also arise in other areas of mathematics, including combinatorics, statistical physics, and mathematical social choice. The field of analysis of Boolean functions seeks to understand them via their Fourier transform and other analytic methods. This text gives a thorough overview of the field, beginning with the most basic definitions and proceeding to advanced topics such as hypercontractivity and isoperimetry. Each chapter includes a "highlight application" such as Arrow's theorem from economics, the Goldreich-Levin algorithm from cryptography/learning theory, Håstad's NP-hardness of approximation results, and "sharp threshold" theorems for random graph properties. The book includes roughly 450 exercises and can be used as the basis of a one-semester graduate course. It should appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in computer science theory and related mathematical fields.
Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities
by Committee on the Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities-Phase IIn the late 1980s, the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities (including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant) in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However, this study is now over 20 years old. The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. "Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1" focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility, judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power, ability to assess potential confounding factors, possible biases, and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment, which will be carried out in Phase 2. This report is beneficial for the general public, communities near nuclear facilities, stakeholders, healthcare providers, policy makers, state and local officials, community leaders, and the media.

Analysis of Catastrophes and Their Public Health Consequences: Descriptions, Predictions, and Aggregation of Expert Judgment Supporting Science Policy
by Paolo F. RicciPublic health policy prospectively and retrospectively addresses the consequences of events ranging from the commonplace to the catastrophic. Informing policymakers and stakeholders by enhancing their understanding of complex causation to justify remedial or precautionary actions is a critical science-policy task. In this book, the key aspects of catastrophes (regardless of their nature) and routine events are identified through a common framework for their analyses, and the analyses of the consequences associated with the potential occurrence of these events also are discussed. The book is not about disaster planning; instead, it is focused on analysis and causation in the context of informing – rather than formulating – public health policy. The author aggregates and fuses scientific information and knowledge in public health policy-science using alternative but complementary methods. The book first focuses on the analysis of catastrophes and commonplace events; the focus then shifts to causal models of multifactorial diseases, particularly at low doses or dose-rates, associated with these events. Topics explored among the chapters include:Policy and Legal Aspects of Precautionary ChoicesCatastrophes, Disasters, and Calamities: Concepts for Their Assessment Uncertainty: Probabilistic and Statistical AspectsAggregating Judgments to Inform Precautionary Decision-makingThe aim of the book is to show that the analyses of events are fundamentally similar, regardless of whether the concern is a global catastrophe or commonplace. Analysis of Catastrophes and Their Public Health Consequences is a text that should engage students, instructors, and researchers in public health, science policy, and preparedness research, as well as serve as a useful resource for policy analysts, practitioners, and risk managers.
