Tryptophan Metabolism: Implications for Biological Processes, Health and Disease

This brief examines a deterministic, ODE-based model for gene regulatory networks (GRN) that incorporates nonlinearities and time-delayed feedback. One chapter is devoted to the analysis of GRNs under negative feedback with time delays and a special case of a homogenous GRN is considered.

Most of the chapters focus on diseases including acute failure, alcoholic disease, viral hepatitis, iron overload, autoimmune disease, Wilson's disease and more, while the chapters on cancer round out the book.

WILD NEW YORK surveys the city's surprisingly diverse and abundant flora and fauna, and serves as a detailed guidebook for the urban nature explorer. Complete with 25 maps and 33 walking tours throughout the city, the book guides readers through the city's hidden (and not so hidden) natural corners and pockets of wildlife. Full-color insert. Two-color throughout.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Internet Science, INSCIE 2015, held in Brussels, Belgium, in May 2015. They were organized in topical sections named: internet and society; internet and governance; and internet and innovation.

This proceedings volume originates from a conference held in Herrnhut in June 2013. It provides unique insights into the power of abstract methods and techniques in dealing successfully with numerous applications stemming from classical analysis and mathematical physics. The book features diverse topics in the area of operator semigroups, including partial differential equations, martingale and Hilbert transforms, Banach and von Neumann algebras, Schrödinger operators, maximal regularity and Fourier multipliers, interpolation, operator-theoretical problems (concerning generation, perturbation and dilation, for example), and various qualitative and quantitative Tauberian theorems with a focus on transfinite induction and magics of Cantor.The last fifteen years have seen the dawn of a new era for semigroup theory with the emphasis on applications of abstract results, often unexpected and far removed from traditional ones. The aim of the conference was to bring together prominent experts in the field of modern semigroup theory, harmonic analysis, complex analysis and mathematical physics, and to present the lively interactions between all of those areas and beyond. In addition, the meeting honored the sixtieth anniversary of Prof C. J. K. Batty, whose scientific achievements are an impressive illustration of the conference goal. These proceedings present contributions by prominent scientists at this international conference, which became a landmark event.They will be a valuable and inspiring source of information for graduate students and established researchers.

This book is an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the neuropsychiatry of multiple sclerosis and related diseases, by active authorities in the field, with an emphasis on diagnosis and management.

stochastic deformations of classical mechanics and Feynman integrals and stochastic differential equations with reflection.The articles are based on short courses given at the Centre Interfacultaire Bernoulli of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland, from January to June 2012.

Die Erforschung von Tropenkrankheiten rückt immer stärker in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses von Wissenschaft, Politik und Öffentlichkeit. Tropenkrankheiten werden immer häufiger zu einer gesundheitlichen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Belastung für viele Länder. Massnahmen zur Prävention und Therapie werden gefordert. Die Molekularbiologie trägt dazu bei, Infektionsmechanismen auf molekularer Ebene zu klären und so neue Therapieformen zu entwickeln. Das Buch beleuchtet ausgewählte wichtige Tropenkrankheiten (inklusive sogenannter ¿neglected diseases") neu auch aus dem Blickwinkel der Molekularbiologie. Jeder Krankheit ist ein Kapitel gewidmet, übersichtlich strukturiert und leicht verständlich geschrieben. Glossar, Literaturverzeichnis und Stichwortregister runden das Buch ab. Die sorgfältig recherchierten Texte stellen eine fundierte Informationsquelle für interessierte Kreise aus Medizin und Biologie sowie Tropenreisende, Studenten, Lehrer und alle, die sich für Tropenkrankheiteninteressieren, dar.

Matroid theory was invented in the middle of the 1930s by two mathematicians independently, namely, Hassler Whitney in the USA and Takeo Nakasawa in Japan. Just as Nazism became more and more flamboyant in Europe in the 1930s, Japan became more and more esoteric and fanatical in the same time period.

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Hermann Grassmann (1809-1877), an interdisciplinary conference was held in Potsdam, Germany, and in Grassmann's hometown Szczecin, Poland.

Geometric flows have many applications in physics and geometry. The mean curvature flow also has many geometric applications, in analogy with the Ricci flow of metrics on abstract riemannian manifolds.

This book gives a uniquely complete description of the geometry of the energy momentum mapping of five classical integrable systems: the 2-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the geodesic flow on the 3-sphere, the Euler top, the spherical pendulum and the Lagrange top.

An analysis, aimed at the socially orientated environmental scientist who is interested in how people deal with environmental issues. It attempts to provide a social perspective, in contrast to current scientific and technological approaches to environmental problems.

It appears from present day knowledge, that neuropeptides are not only involved in neurotransmission and in the control of pituitary function but also in direct regulation of numerous peripheral biological processes, including reproduction, digestion, immune functions, and even cell growth.

Das vorliegende Buch bemüht sich zu beweisen, dass eine logische und technische Vereinheitlichung und Vereinigung aller Wissenszweige möglich ist. Durch Vorführung eines Proto-Modells soll gezeigt und bewiesen werden, dass die Vereinigung eine weit­ gehende Rationalisieruny des Denkens mit sich bringt - denn eine der vielen Folgen der Vereinigung und Vereinheitlichung der Wissenschaften ist eine unerwartet hoch­ stufige A m pli f i kat ion des Den k ver m ö gen s, der I n tel I i gen z. Die Vereinigung der Wissenschaften führt zu einer fundamental neuen Stufe der Denk­ technik. Die Ausdrücke "vereinigte Wissenschaften" und "Einheitswissenschaft" wurden rund um 1930 von den Mitgliedern des Wiener Kreises eingeführt. Man kann die Mei­ nung vertreten, dass "vereinheitlicht" eher den Zielsetzungen entspricht, aber "verei­ nigt" ist kürzer und wurde bereits angenommen. Wir werden also oft "vereinigt" ge­ brauchen, auch wenn man eher "vereinheitlicht" sagen sollte. Der Beweis dafür, dass eine Vereinheitlichung möglich ist, wird durch den schritt­ weisen Aufbau eines "P rot 0 m 0 dei I s der Vereiningten Wissenschaften" geführt.

Nowadays aluminium is essentially produced according to the Hall-H~roult process, in other words, by electrolysis of alumina A1 0 desolved in molten cryolite Na A1F at a 2 3 3 6 temperature of about 950 °C. In a reduction plant cells are connected in series. For technical and economical reasons, it is advisable to choose large nominal currents (150 kAle For such intensities, the electromagnetic effects in the cells become important. In particular, these effects bring about movements in the liauid metal, as well as interface variations in level, that are detrimental to efficiencv and energy consumption [l,~ ¿ For an optimal design, it is necessary to predetermine the electromagnetic behaviour of each new typ of cells. It is specially necessary to calculate the repartition of the current density in each point of the cell (electric problem), and the magnetic induction produced in the liquid metal by the currents circulating in the cell itself, in the near cells and in the external conductors (magnetic problem). Electric problem formulation Stationary electric phenomena are described by the equations ~ . . . rotE=O (1) . . . divJ=O (2) t=f1 (3) The first equation can be replaced by t=-g;tdU (4) where U is the electric potential.
