MARSDEN, London Preface Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder charac terized clinically by the appearance of a supranuclear gaze palsy and extra pyramidal features which include bradykinesia and axial dystonia.

Angesichts der Komplexität der Produkte der modernen Informatik wird eine saubere, theoretische Fundierung immer wichtiger. Das Buch wendet sich an Studierende im ersten Studienabschnitt und an Praktiker und gibt eine Einführung in die theoretischen und zumeist mathematischen Grundlagen der Informatik. Lesern ohne mathematische Vorbildung wird eine Vorstellung von der Denk- und Arbeitsweise der theoretischen Informatik vermittelt.Angesichts der Stoffülle und Komplexität dieses Gebietes werden detaillierte oder auch nur ausführlichere Kenntnisse in theoretischer Informatik wohl dem Spezialisten vorbehalten bleiben. Das Buch ist deshalb betont breit gehalten und zielt auf einen Überblick unterschiedlichster Techniken und Ansätze ab. Der Autor behandelt nach einer Einführung in mathematische Grundbegriffe die klassischen Themen wie formale Sprachen oder Berechenbarkeit, wendet sich aber auch der Semantik von Programmiersprachen und der Codierungstheorie zu und beantwortet die Frage, wie Information gemessen werden kann.

Positive-strand RNA viruses include the majority of the plant viruses, a number of insect viruses, and animal viruses, such as coronaviruses, togaviruses, flaviviruses, poliovirus, hepatitis C, and rhinoviruses.

Monoamine oxidase plays a major role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders including depressive illness, Parkinsons disease and Alzheimers disease. The new generation of selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors, devoid of major side effects, has found a prominent place in the treatment of these diseases.

Recent technological innovations - influenced primarily by the development of more sophisticated, faster and cheaper computer systems - permitted also the evolution of more affordable systems for Patient Data Management, so called PDM-Systems.

Thus nutritional iron defi ciency and iron overload afflict some 500-600 million people. It is also well recognized that too little or too much iron can produce profound effects on the metabolic state of the cell, and therefore the regulation of iron uptake and disposition is tightly relegated by the cell.

Chronic viral hepatitis remains one of the major medical problems worldwide. The chronic disease caused by hepatitis viruses type B, C and D is a much greater problem than the acute disease caused by the same viruses or by hepatitis viruses type A and E.

This volume offers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental research papers on fluid dynamics. Major fields discussed include stability phenomena, transonic flow, hypersonic flow, fluid machinery, computational fluid dynamics and miscellaneous problems.

This volume of research papers focuses on prion-related diseases, with special emphasis placed on human and bovine spongiform encephalopathies and Borna disease virus, an agent known to be pathogenic to horses and sheep, but now discussed as a potential pathogen for humans.

Artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms both are areas of research which have their origins in mathematical models constructed in order to gain understanding of important natural processes.

The articles in this book give a comprehensive overview on the whole field of validated numerics. The problems covered include simultaneous systems of linear and nonlinear equations, differential and integral equations and certain applications from technical sciences.

This volume offers a wide range of new findings and references on the latest advances in the treatment of two major viral diseases. It covers available vaccines, immunization programmes and research, and stresses the need for global resources and strategies to combat these viruses.

Scientists struggling with the pharmaco- and toxicodynamic interactions of drugs and chemicals will find this book a valuable reference to the relevant theoretical background of this complex field and an indispensible guide to practical, analytical procedures for evaluation of experimental data.

Scrapie, a naturally occurring neurodegenerative disease of sheep and sometimes goats, is a prototypic disease for the whole group of the subacute spongiform virus encephalopathies.

Space physiology and space medicine are fairly recent sciences, born of the desire to launch man into space and bring him safely back again.

The proceedings comprise such topics as: project management, artificial intelligence - modelling aspects, artificial intelligence - tool building aspects, language features, object-orientied software development, the challenge of coping with complexity, methodology, and experience, software engineering education, science policy, etc.

The Database and Expert Systems Application -DEXA - conferences are mainly oriented to establish a state-of-the art forum on Database and Expert System applications.

Presents technologies for solving industrial problems as well as practicable impulses for research. The following topics are treated: solid modelling; geometry processing; feature modelling; product modelling; surfaces over arbitrary topologies; blending methods; scattered data algorithms; smooting and fairing algorithms.

The clinical electrophysiology of the human somatosensory cortex was investigated with a combined approach using cortical stimulations and somatosensory evoked responses on electrocorticography, scalp-EEG, and magnetoencephalography. This work studied the spatiotemporal structure of the evoked response with biophysical modeling techniques.
