Prokaryotic Cell Wall Compounds
by Ajit Varma Harald Claus Helmut KönigMicrobial cell wall structures play a significant role in maintaining cells' shape, as protecting layers against harmful agents, in cell adhesion and in positive and negative biological activities with host cells. All prokaryotes, whether they are bacteria or archaea, rely on their surface polymers for these multiple functions. Their surfaces serve as the indispensable primary interfaces between the cell and its surroundings, often mediating or catalyzing important interactions. Prokaryotic Cell Wall Compounds summarizes the current state of knowledge on the prokaryotic cell wall. Topics concerning bacterial and archaeal polymeric cell wall structures, biological activities, growth and inhibition, cell wall interactions and the applications of cell wall components, especially in the field of nanobiotechnology, are presented.
Die Evolution von Gut und Böse in Marktwirtschaften
by Friedrich ThießenAuch da, wo es dem eigenen Gewinn überhaupt nicht dienlich ist, verhalten Menschen sich regelmäßig fair und gerecht. Auf der anderen Seite ist opportunistisches, unfaires Handeln keine Absonderlichkeit einiger weniger ,,böser" Marktteilnehmer, sondern stellt eine ganz normale, immer wieder in Erwägung gezogene Handlungsalternative dar. Da die Welt der Wirtschaft aus beiden Teilen, dem Guten und dem Bösen, besteht, wird eine Theorie benötigt, die auf einheitlicher, möglichst naturwissenschaftlicher Grundlage beides erklären und mit den Ergebnissen ökonomischen Handelns verbinden kann. Friedrich Thießen knüpft an evolutionswissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse an und versucht davon ausgehend Gut und Böse in Marktwirtschaften unter Verwendung von Konzepten, die in der Ökonomie anerkannt sind und große Verbreitung gefunden haben, zu beleuchten und zu erklären.
Diseases of the Inner Ear
by Masoud Motasaddi Zarandy John RutkaThis book is a comprehensive atlas of the clinical conditions that commonly involve the inner ear and lateral skull base. Each disorder or disease is meticulously and beautifully illustrated, with accompanying informative text. An important feature of the book is that no disorder is described from a single point of view. Instead, the clinical features are linked with both radiologic and pathologic findings to provide an all-encompassing picture of the condition in question. This is feasible because the book is the result of years of intense collaborative teamwork between departments at the University of Toronto and the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and includes many clinical and pathologic images that could only be acquired in major referral units. It is anticipated that this atlas will assist greatly in improving collaboration between clinicians and surgeons in the diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical management of disorders in this challenging area.

Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics
by Donald Deangelis Hauke Reuter Broder Breckling Melanie Trexler Sven Erik Jørgensen Fred JoppModel development is of vital importance for understanding and management of ecological processes. Identifying the complex relationships between ecological patterns and processes is a crucial task. Ecological modelling--both qualitatively and quantitatively--plays a vital role in analysing ecological phenomena and for ecological theory. This textbook provides a unique overview of modelling approaches. Representing the state-of-the-art in modern ecology, it shows how to construct and work with various different model types. It introduces the background of each approach and its application in ecology. Differential equations, matrix approaches, individual-based models and many other relevant modelling techniques are explained and demonstrated with their use. The authors provide links to software tools and course materials. With chapters written by leading specialists, "Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics" is an essential contribution to expand the qualification of students, teachers and scientists alike.
The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences
by Andrew D. MiallIt has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of Vail (building on the early work of Blackwelder, Grabau, Ulrich, Levorsen and others) that the stratigraphic record could be subdivided into sequences, and that these sequences store essential information about basin-forming and subsidence processes, remains as powerful an idea as when it was first formulated. The definition and mapping of sequences has become a standard part of the basin analysis process. The main purpose of this book remains the same as it was for the first edition, that is, to situate sequences within the broader context of geological processes, and to answer the question: why do sequences form? Geoscientists might thereby be better equipped to extract the maximum information from the record of sequences in a given basin or region. Tectonic, climatic and other mechanisms are the generating mechanisms for sequences ranging over a wide range of times scales, from hundreds of millions of years to the high-frequency sequences formed by cyclic processes lasting a few tens of thousands of years

Interfacial Electrochemistry
by Wolfgang Schmickler Elizabeth SantosElectrochemistry is an old branch of physical chemistry. Due to the development of surface sensitive techniques, and a technological interest in fuel cells and batteries, it has recently undergone a rapid development. This textbook treats the field from a modern, atomistic point of view while integrating the older, macroscopic concepts. The increasing role of theory is reflected in the presentation of the basic ideas in a way that should appeal to experimentalists and theorists alike. Special care is taken to make the subject comprehensible to scientists from neighboring disciplines, especially from surface science. The book is suitable for an advanced course at the master or Ph.D. level, but should also be useful for practicing electrochemists, as well as to any scientist who wants to understand modern electrochemistry.

Molecular Dynamics of Glass-Forming Systems
by Marian Paluch George Floudas Kai Ngai Andrzej GrzybowskiPressure is one of the essential thermodynamic variables that, due to some former experimental difficulties, was long known as the "forgotten variable." But this has changed over the last decade. This book includes the most essential first experiments from the 1960s and reviews the progress made in understanding glass formation with the application of pressure in the last ten years. The systems include amorphous polymers and glass-forming liquids, polypeptides and polymers blends. The thermodynamics of these systems, the relation of the structural relaxation to the chemical specificity, and their present and future potential applications are discussed in detail. The book provides (a) an overview of systems exhibiting glassy behavior in relation to their molecular structure and provides readers with the current state of knowledge on the liquid-to-glass transformation, (b) emphasizes the relation between thermodynamic state and dynamic response and (c) shows that the information on the pressure effects on dynamics can be employed in the design of materials for particular applications. It is meant to serve as an advanced introductory book for scientists and graduate students working or planning to work with dynamics. Several scientific papers dealing with the effects of pressure on dynamics have appeared in leading journals in the fields of physics in the last ten years. The book provides researchers and students new to the field with an overview of the knowledge that has been gained in a coherent and comprehensive way.

Kognitive Erhaltungstherapie bei rezidivierender Depression
by Ulrich Stangier Thomas Heidenreich Martin Hautzinger Anne Kathrin RischRezidivierende Depression: Rückfälle verhindern, psychische Gesundheit erhalten Depressionen gehören zu den häufigsten psychischen Störungen. Von dem Anteil der Betroffenen, die Therapie erhalten, erlebt eine hohe Anzahl Rückfälle - das ist anstrengend für Betroffene und Therapeuten. Und das ist teuer für Krankenkassen und Arbeitgeber. Problem: Die "Rückfälligen" werden bisher jeweils wie akut Erkrankte behandelt, ohne dass die Vorgeschichte berücksichtigt wird. Neue Forschungen zeigen: Erst die Mischung von klassisch verhaltenstherapeutischen Interventionen mit Maßnahmen aus dem nichtklinischen Bereich (z.B. Achtsamkeit, Akzeptanz, psychologisches Wohlbefinden, Werteorientierung) bringt den vollen Erfolg. Praxisorientiert: Aufbau am Bedarf der Praktiker orientiert Dieses Buch ist geschrieben für Verhaltenstherapeuten in Ausbildung und Praxis, klinische Psychologen, Psychiater, psychologische und ärztliche Psychotherapeuten - und gliedert sich in 3 Teile: Symptomatik, Klassifikation, Epidemiologie, Diagnostik der rezidivierenden Depression.Therapieprogramm in 6 Modulen (für die Arbeit im Einzelsetting).Alle nötigen Arbeitsmaterialien (und zwei Hörbeispiele für angeleitete Übungen), die der Therapeut bei seiner Arbeit braucht (auf CD-ROM).Mit CD-ROM: Alle Arbeitsblätter zum Ausdrucken plus 2 Podcasts mit Übungen
Interpretation of Law in the Global World: From Particularism to a Universal Approach
by Przemyslaw Miklaszewicz Joanna JemielniakThe volume examines the impact of applying transnational rules on the repertory, methods and practice of legal interpretation. It scrutinizes how globalization processes in law - those reaching top-down (such as European law), as well as those developing bottom-up (such as the new lex mercatoria and international commercial arbitration) - influence the often highly innovative use of various methods of legal rendition. It also examines to what extent they affect supranational and domestic decision-making. Capturing the current development of universalizing tendencies in legal interpretation, the book offers both an extensive theoretical background and thorough studies on adjudicatory practice in such fields as European and constitutional law, international business law and arbitration or criminal law.
From Gravity to Thermal Gauge Theories: The AdS/CFT Correspondence
by Eleftherios PapantonopoulosThe AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful tool in studying strongly coupled phenomena in gauge field theories, using results from a weakly coupled gravity background studied in the realm of string theory. AdS/CFT was first successfully applied to the study of phenomena such as the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ions collisions. Soon it was realized that its applicability can be extended, in a more phenomenological approach, to condensed matter systems and to systems described by fluid dynamics. The set of tutorial reviews in this volume is intended as an introduction to and survey of the principle of the AdS/CFT correspondence in its field/string theoretic formulation, its applicability to holographic QCD and to heavy ions collisions, and to give a first account of processes in fluid dynamics and condensed matter physics, which can be studied with the use of this principle. Written by leading researchers in the field and cast into the form of a high-level but approachable multi-author textbook, this volume will be of benefit to all postgraduate students, and newcomers from neighboring disciplines wishing to find a comprehensive guide for their future research.

This book is about the power and beauty of mathematics. It shows mathematics in action, explained in a way that everybody can understand. It is a book for enticing youngsters and inspiring teachers. Nuno Crato is a leading science writer and mathematician, whose entertaining essays have won a number of international awards.
Parallel Programming
by Thomas Rauber Gudula RüngerInnovations in hardware architecture, like hyper-threading or multicore processors, mean that parallel computing resources are available for inexpensive desktop computers. In only a few years, many standard software products will be based on concepts of parallel programming implemented on such hardware, and the range of applications will be much broader than that of scientific computing, up to now the main application area for parallel computing. Rauber and Rünger take up these recent developments in processor architecture by giving detailed descriptions of parallel programming techniques that are necessary for developing efficient programs for multicore processors as well as for parallel cluster systems and supercomputers. Their book is structured in three main parts, covering all areas of parallel computing: the architecture of parallel systems, parallel programming models and environments, and the implementation of efficient application algorithms. The emphasis lies on parallel programming techniques needed for different architectures. The main goal of the book is to present parallel programming techniques that can be used in many situations for many application areas and which enable the reader to develop correct and efficient parallel programs. Many examples and exercises are provided to show how to apply the techniques. The book can be used as both a textbook for students and a reference book for professionals. The presented material has been used for courses in parallel programming at different universities for many years.
