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 unique survey of how the diffuse interface model can be applied to multiphase flow modeling stresses its use in micro-engineering. It proves the model's robustness in accounting for flows without sharp interfaces, such as coalescing drops and bubbles.

Because of the complicated subject and the scarce available literature proper introductions in the subject are tiresome. Discussions and private contacts make it possible for participants to touch quickly the peripheries of the subject in question, and new research work will be stimulated which otherwise could not be expected.

The Yearbook on Space Policy is the reference publication analyzing space policy developments. Each year it presents issues and trends in space policy and the space sector as a whole. The Yearbook on Space Policy is edited by the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) based in Vienna, Austria.

Immer mehr Patienten vertrauen in der Schmerztherapie neben der Schulmedizin auch auf komplementäre Methoden. Beide Richtungen können zum Wohl des Patienten in vielen Therapieverfahren eingesetzt werden. Dieses von Experten aus Pflege und Medizin geschriebene Buch bietet einen guten Überblick zu den häufigsten Methoden. Neben den Grundlagen über Schmerzentstehung, -messung, und -therapie werden auch die Kommunikation in der Pflege und die rechtlichen Aspekte vorgestellt. Aromapflege, Ayurveda, Entspannungsverfahren, Ergotherapie, Feldenkrais, Massage, Physiotherapie, Psychotherapie oder Wickel werden ausführlich anhand von zahlreichen praktischen Beispielen beschrieben. Ziel der Anwendung ist stets die Reduktion der Nebenwirkungen von Therapien. Die vorgestellten Methoden eignen sich aber auch zur Vorbeugung und können bei stagnierenden Heilungsprozessen erfolgreich eingesetzt werden. Das Buch richtet sind alle in der Pflege tätigen Personen sowie Betroffene und deren Angehörige.
