  • Madrid. Museo de la Medicina

    El oficio médico a través del arte y la historia de la ciudad
    • 1st Edition
    • Fernando López-Ríos Fernández
    • Spanish
    El objetivo de los autores de esta original obra es que sea una guía de la historia médica de la ciudad de Madrid, que sirva tanto a los médicos como a lectores ajenos a esta profesión, a través de un magnífico trabajo de investigación y documentación, apoyado en una iconografía de gran calidad, recopilada por los propios autores. El libro se ha diseñado como un recorrido a través de las salas imaginarias de un museo. Sigue un orden cronológico, atendiendo a las distintas generaciones históricas de la Medicina en Madrid.

  • Molecular Pathology of Pituitary Adenomas

    • 1st Edition
    • Cristiana Tanase + 2 more
    • English
    The pituitary gland is an important one since it controls several of the other hormone glands, such as the thyroid and adrenals. A pituitary adenoma is an abnormal growth or tumor in this gland, and they are the subject of very active clinical and pathological research. This book examines the latest developments in this field and discusses the most important molecules implicated in apoptosis, angiogenesis and signal transduction. A good understanding of these processes is needed to identify the best therapies.

  • Virus Taxonomy

    Ninth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses
    • 1st Edition
    • Andrew MQ King + 3 more
    • English
    The practical need to partition the world of viruses into distinguishable, universally agreed upon entities is the ultimate justification for developing a virus classification system. Since 1971, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) operating on behalf of the world community of virologists has taken on the task of developing a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses infecting animals (vertebrate, invertebrates, and protozoa), plants (higher plants and algae), fungi, bacteria, and archaea. The current report builds on the accumulated taxonomic construction of the eight previous reports dating back to 1971 and records the proceedings of the Committee since publication of the last report in 2005. Representing the work of more than 500 virologists worldwide, this report is the authoritative reference for virus organization, distinction, and structure.

  • Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7
    • Ralph A. Wheeler
    • English
    Annual Reports in Computational Chemistry provides timely and critical reviews of important topics in computational chemistry as applied to all chemical disciplines. Topics covered include quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics, force fields, chemical education, and applications in academic and industrial settings. Focusing on the most recent literature and advances in the field, each article covers a specific topic of importance to computational chemists.

  • Harmonic Vector Fields

    Variational Principles and Differential Geometry
    • 1st Edition
    • Sorin Dragomir + 1 more
    • English
    An excellent reference for anyone needing to examine properties of harmonic vector fields to help them solve research problems. The book provides the main results of harmonic vector fields with an emphasis on Riemannian manifolds using past and existing problems to assist you in analyzing and furnishing your own conclusion for further research. It emphasizes a combination of theoretical development with practical applications for a solid treatment of the subject useful to those new to research using differential geometric methods in extensive detail.

  • Amorphous Chalcogenides

    The Past, Present and Future
    • 1st Edition
    • Victor I. Mikla + 1 more
    • English
    Amorphous chalcogenide semiconductors have commercial value and have many uses such as image formation, including x-rays, and high-definition TV pick up tubes. They have widespread application in the microelectronics industry and amorphous metallic alloys also have useful magnetic properties.This book focuses on their imaging applications and related properties. It examines the two groups of amorphous semiconductors that are of most commercial interest:1. the chalcogenide glasses2. the tetrahedrally bonded amorphous solids such as amorphous silicon, germanium and related alloysBoth of these groups may be conveniently prepared in the form of thin/thick films which is of considerable importance in applications where large-area coverage of flat or curved surfaces of rigid or flexible materials is desirable such as in photovoltaic arrays, X-Ray sensors, display screens and photocopier drums.

  • Approximation and Optimization of Discrete and Differential Inclusions

    • 1st Edition
    • Elimhan N Mahmudov
    • English
    Optimal control theory has numerous applications in both science and engineering. This book presents basic concepts and principles of mathematical programming in terms of set-valued analysis and develops a comprehensive optimality theory of problems described by ordinary and partial differential inclusions.

  • Evidence-Based Climate Science

    Data Opposing CO2 Emissions as the Primary Source of Global Warming
    • 1st Edition
    • Don Easterbrook
    • English
    Global warming and human-induced climate change are perhaps the most important scientific issues of our time. These issues continue to be debated in the scientific community and in the media without true consensus about the role of greenhouse gas emissions as a contributing factor. Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming objectively gathers and analyzes scientific data concerning patterns of past climate changes, influences of changes in ocean temperatures, the effect of solar variation on global climate, and the effect of CO2 on global climate to clearly and objectively present counter-global-warmi... evidence not embraced by proponents of CO2.

  • Bentley's Textbook of Pharmaceutics

    • 1st Edition
    • Sanjay Kumar Jain
    • English
    This adaptation of Bentley's Textbook of Pharmaceutics follows the same goals as those of the previous edition, albeit in a new look. The content of the old edition has been updated and expanded and several new chapters, viz. Complexations, Stability Testing as per ICH Guidelines, Parenteral Formulations, New Drug Delivery Systems and Pilot Plant Manufacturing, have been included, with an intention to make the book more informative for the modern pharmacists.
