The biological activity of mycotoxins ranges from weak and/or sometimes positive effects, such as antibacterial activity (see penicillin derivatives derived from Penicillium strains) to strong mutagenic (e. Sections are arranged according to mycotoxin classes (e. aflatoxins) and/or structural classes (e.

This book is the first to comprehensively describe ultimate and proximate mechanisms that transform normal or tolerable manifestations of aggressiveness into abnormal patterns in laboratory animals and aggression-related psychopathologies in humans.

This book examines the mechanical response of granular and cohesive soils under cyclic loading, offering theoretical and analytical tools to evaluate settling under environmentally induced loads such as wave motion, wind action and varying water table levels.

Here is a textbook, training manual and reference book for those involved in Gamma Knife practice. It covers the theoretical background, treatment, and the social side of the method, with key information for users as well as those who refer to the Gamma Knife.

As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons we began to publish in 1974 this series devoted to Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.

The focal point of this volume is the mixture formation in spark-ignition engines, covering both the theory and actual design of the mixture formation units and appropriate intake manifolds.

It presents a step-by-step surgical approach from the anterior nasal spine to the anterior wall of the sphenoid, illustrated by brilliant colour photographs. Four critical anatomical structures are emphasised as the foundation for a precise approach to surgery of the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, frontal, and posterior ethmoid sinuses.

Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions.

Filling a gap in the anatomical and ENT literature, the authors show the various approaches to the middle ear which allow safe surgical manipulations, such as through the tympanic membrane or the Eustachian tube.

The author has used for the same purpose methods ranging from physical anthropology to forensic medicine and especially a recent method of comparison of epigenetic traits, which proved to be very useful for the identification of family related skulls in connection with historical and other data.

Provides an overview of the American and European epidemiology of alcohol and nicotine addictions. This book is suitable for those who care for and offer professional therapy for alcohol and nicotine-addicted patients.

This is the first comprehensive review of the world literature on filovirus research and provides the most extensive bibliography of the subject yet published. Every aspect of filovirus research, including their history, epidemiology, clinical picture, pathology, molecular biology, and political aspects are reviewed in detail.

This volume provides a comprehensive account of the physical and mechanical behaviour of polyurethanes (PUs) elastomers, films, and blends of variable crystallinity. Topics include the elasticity and inelasticity of PUs, in relation to their sensitivity to chemical and physical structure.

This book, the first comprehensive description of the numerical methods, covers every aspect of the Boltzmann transport equation, including transport in bulk and in inversion layers. It analyzes the issues of stabilization and band structure mapping in detail.

Grounding its methodology in the well established principles of systems such as PRINCE2 and StageGate, this volume provides all the necessary background needed to direct cooperative product engineering projects in a micro- and nanotechnology setting.

This volume presents the application of the Monte Carlo method to the simulation of semiconductor devices, reviewing the physics of transport in semiconductors, followed by an introduction to the physics of semiconductor devices.

Molecular Computing explores whether molecular primitives can prove to be real alternatives to contemporary semiconductor means. The text discusses molecular primitives and circuitry for information processing devices.

Concise in its account of polymer physics, this work by a renowned Chinese author has been an effective source of learning for many years. The text presents up-to-date developments are reflected throughout in this presentation of the topic.

This volume shows how to construct solutions of numerous nonlinear PDEs quickly and easily. The text discusses comparisons and relationships between the varying solutions, methods and approaches.

This book presents research at the interface between people, Space and objects. Evaluating extra-terrestrial habitats in comparison to the user's perspective, this book proposes a new framework, comparing these buildings from the viewpoint of human activity.

This book covers modeling approaches used to describe strain in silicon. The subband structure in stressed semiconductor films is explored in devices using analytical k.p and numerical pseudopotential methods. Includes a rigorous overview of transport modeling.

This work offers detailed methods for calibrating light sources and photodetectors as well as responsiveness of spectral instruments. Coverage includes absolute measurements of radiation intensity of photoprocesses and original methods of studies of photoprocesses.

Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, is among the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century.

The text spotlights the basic trends in space related issues before moving on to describe the possibilities of the wide use of space technologies and its numerous applications such as navigation and communication, space manufacturing, and space biotechnology.

The atlas covers the normal microsurgical anatomy of the central skull base as well as the pathological anatomy of the tumorous and vascular lesions of this region. The book gives a detailed description of the contemporary approaches to the individual pathologies in the central skull base which have evolved in the last 15 years.

This book presents algorithms that will enable analysts to handle large-scale structural systems by lowering their computational cost, thus fulfilling the requirement for faster analysis and design of future complex systems.

The authors of this book explain at length the principles of chemical kinetics and approaches to computerized calculations in modern software mathcad and maple. Numerous problems encountered in solving kinetics' calculations are provided.

An up-to-date text on climate change focussing on technical solutions for the most important and climate relevant economic sectors is presented. The first of three sections covers the scientific basis of climate change and the instruments to prevent or reduce negative climate effects.

Presents a collection of Hahn's writings on harmonic analysis, measure and integration, complex analysis and philosophy, which are commented upon by Jean-Pierre Kahane, Heinz Bauer, Lutger Kaup, and Christian Thiel. This volume also contains excerpts of letters of Hahn and accounts by students and colleagues.
