The past decade has witnessed a dramatic and widespread expansion of interest and activity in sub-Riemannian (Carnot-Caratheodory) geometry, motivated both internally by its role as a basic model in the modern theory of analysis on metric spaces, and externally through the continuous development of applications (both classical and emerging) in areas such as control theory, robotic path planning, neurobiology and digital image reconstruction. T...

Fig.1.0: Lago Frías and Monte Tronador (3478m) (09.03.2004, late afternoon) The idea underlying the present book was: to provide - The keys for the identi?cation lead to groups which amateurs as well as naturalists with a guide enabling them encompass a maximum of 12 genera or species. Within to identify the native tree species of Argentine Patago- these groups, the illustrations and the descriptions nia (comprising the large area from the Río...

This volume contains 17 mathematical works by Johann Bernoulli, written between 1680 - when he was only 13 years old and studied mathematics with his brother Jacob - and 1732, when he was 65 years old. Five of the works are handwritten manuscripts, and another three belong to the Anekdota, which he published in the fourth volume of his Opera Omnia. The book features also seven works by other authors: John Craig, Jacob Hermann, Gottfried Wi...

In modern ecotoxicology, fish have become the major vertebrate model, and a tremendous body of information has been accumulated. This volume attempts to summarize our present knowledge in several fields of primary ecotoxicological interest ranging from the use of (ultra)structural modifications of selected cell systems as sources of biomarkers for environmental impact over novel approaches to monitoring the impact of xenobiotics with fish in ...

The book provides a first comprehensive overview of both experimental and theoretical research on information processing in insect societies. Its purpose is to make the reader familiar with the methodology and ways of thinking followed by scientists at the leading edge of the field. The book is aimed at postgraduate students and researchers working on social insects and insects that live in groups as well as any reader interested in behavioura...

An interdisciplinary study explaining the dynamics underlying biological motion - one of the most obvious expressions of self-organization. Designed for a broad audience from bioscientists to applied mathematicians, this book considers possible synergetic mechanisms of interaction and cooperation on different microscopic levels.

Effective though they are in the treatment of a wide variety of painful con­ ditions, opioids are not always the most suitable analgesic therapy. Tried and tested non-opioid analgesics are frequently preferable, especially for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, because of their lower incidence of side-effects or more relevant sites of action. "Th more we under tand th etiology of pain th more we know that there ar other drug which might b...

In 1898 Camillo Golgi reported his newly observed intracellular structure, the apparato reticolare interno, now universally known as the Golgi Apparatus. The method he used was an ingenious histological technique (La reazione nera) which brought him fame for the discovery of neuronal networks and culminated in the award of the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1906. This technique, however, was not easily reproducible and led to a lon...

Wittgenstein et Spinoza construisent, l'un dans le Tractatus, l'autre dans l'Éthique, des systèmes philosophiques réunissant le monde, l'homme et Dieu dans lesquels ils s'opposent sur de nombreux points. C'est ainsi par exemple que, suivant Spinoza, l'homme est assuré que rien ne se produit sans cause alors que Wittgenstein rejette la possibilité de rapports d'ordre causal entre les événements. Le présent travail dissèque dans une première par...

Many effective analgesic drugs are available for the relief of acute pain, but their clinical use is widely regarded as being inadequate. The reasons cited for this include concern about the adverse effects of opioids and also insufficient adjustment of therapy to the patient's needs. Non-opioid anal­ gesics are the staple drugs for mild to moderate pain and are generally better tolerated than opioid drugs. Differences exist, however, among th...

In Deutschland überwachen die Landesbehörden die Einhaltung der Vorschriften zum Inverkehrbringen und zum Gebrauch von Pflanzenschutzmitteln. 2004 wurde zur effizienteren Überwachung ein länderübergreifendes Pflanzenschutz-Kontrollprogramm eingeführt. Der Band fasst die Ergebnisse dieser Kontrollen im Jahr 2007 zusammen. Weitere Berichte des Bundesamts für Verbraucherschutz: Bericht zur amtlichen Futtermittelkontrolle, Nationaler Rückstandskon...

Volume 46 of "Progress in Drug Research" contains seven reviews and the various indexes which facilitate its use and establish the connection with the previous volumes. The articles in this volume deal with endo­ genous sodium pump inhibition, with neurotransmitters involved in the central regulation of the cardiovascular system, with leukotrienes and development of novel anti-inflammatory agents, with antithrombotic stra­ tegies and drugs aff...

The set consists of 4 Volumes and has the aim to compile a catalogue of test methods useful for the risk assessment of transgenic plants. Vol. 1: Competition, Establishment and Ecosystem Effect Vol. 2: Pollination, Gene-Transfer and Population Impacts Vol. 3: Ecological risks and prospects of transgenic plants, where do we go from here? A dialogue between biotech industry and science Vol. 4: IV. Biodiversity and Biotechnology

This book presents an expanded version of four series of lectures delivered by the authors at the CRM. Harmonic analysis, understood in a broad sense, has a very wide interplay with partial differential equations and in particular with the theory of quasiconformal mappings and its applications. Some areas in which real analysis has been extremely influential are PDE's and geometric analysis. Their foundations and subsequent developments made e...

Satellite navigation receivers are used to receive, process, and decode space-based navigation signals, such as those provided by the GPS constellation of satellites. There is an increasing need for a unified open platform that will enable enhanced receiver development and design, as well as cost-effective testing procedures for various applications. This book provide hands-on exploration of new technologies in this rapidly growing field.One o...

The notes in this volume correspond to advanced courses held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica as part of the research program in Arithmetic Geometry in the 2009-2010 academic year.The notes by Laurent Berger provide an introduction to p-adic Galois representations and Fontaine rings, which are especially useful for describing many local deformation rings at p that arise naturally in Galois deformation theory.The notes by Gebhard Böckle offe...

Das Lebensmittel-Monitoring ist ein Untersuchungsprogramm von Bund und Ländern, bei dem der Gehalt an unerwünschten Stoffen wie Rückstände von Pflanzenschutz-, Schädlingsbekämpfungs- und Tierarzneimitteln sowie Schwermetallen und anderen Kontaminanten in und auf Lebensmitteln gemessen und bewertet wird. Ziel ist es, gesundheitliche Risiken für Verbraucher frühzeitig zu erkennen. Der gemeinsame Bericht von Bund und Ländern fasst die Ergebnisse ...
