Always using his own life-long case studies, Leonhard divided the endogenous psychoses into five main nosological groups: on the one hand, the prognostically favourable unipolar affective psychoses, bipolar affective psychoses and cycloid psychoses, and, on the other hand, the prognostically unfavourable unsystematic and systematic schizophrenia.

Progress in basic and clinical immunology within the last two decades has provided profound insight into the immune system and its role in preventing endogenous and exogenous damage. In contrast, disbalances within this system can result in autoimmune disorders which may affect diverse organs and result in distinct clinical pictures.

Anticarbohydrate Antibodies provides a cohesive overview of current knowledge on the immunological recognition of carbohydrates by the adaptive immune system. The text provides fundamental insight needed for advancing clinically relevant diagnostics and therapeutic applications.

The topics treated include animal models, pathophysiology of cerebral hemorrhage, experimental treatment for cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage clinical manifestations, prognosis of cerebral hemorrhage, and clinical management.

In the new space age after the end of the Cold War, orbit and frequency allocations, traffic control, safety, and a number of support services such as space weather forecast and orbital debris monitoring need to be coordinated transparently and effectively by clear rules at an international level.

Includes the three reviews that cover the advances in the chemistry and biology of withanolides, and review the chemistry and biology of the rocaglamide-type derivatives and related compounds, with emphasis on their structural diversity, biosynthesis, pharmacological significance and total synthesis.

The book focuses on the physical and mathematical foundations of model-based turbulence control: reduced-order modelling and control design in simulations and experiments.

This manual, to be published in two volumes, provides a condensed overview of the analytical investigation of 80 Chinese Herbal Drugs which are most frequently in use.

It has been known for over 150 years that hallmarks of inflammation can be observed in the wall of atherosclerotic vessels.

This volume provides a comprehensive account of the physical and mechanical behaviour of polyurethanes (PUs) elastomers, films, and blends of variable crystallinity. Topics include the elasticity and inelasticity of PUs, in relation to their sensitivity to chemical and physical structure.

Sensory perception: mind and matter aims at a deeper understanding of the many facets of sensory perception and their relations to brain function and cognition.

Deployable structures can vary their shape automatically from a compact, packaged configuration to an expanded, operational configuration. Three main themes are discussed in this book: concepts, working principles, and mechanics of deployable structures, both in engineering and biology;

This is a timely collection of important biomedical applications for a set of separation/characterization techniques that are rapidly gaining popularity due to their wide dynamic range, high resolution, and ability to function in most commonly used solvent systems.

This book introduces the current concepts of molecular mechanisms in synaptic plasticity and provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research technology used to investigate the molecular dynamics of the synapses.

Proteolysis is an irreversible posttranslational modification affecting each and every protein from its biosynthesis to its degradation. In particular, we are becoming aware of the subtle role that proteases play in signaling events within proteolysis networks, in which the enzymes act synergistically and form alliances in a web-like fashion.

Die Angst vor Brustkrebs ist berechtigt, da es sich um die häufigste Krebserkrankung der Frau handelt. Manchmal wird diese Angst gezielt geschürt, das Risiko bewusst übertrieben. Wer aber sollte Interesse haben, diese Furcht auszunutzen? Welche Folgen hat das für Frau und Gesellschaft?Dieses Buch beschreibt nicht nur einen Körperteil, der als Krankheitsort für Betroffene, Angehörige, Ärzte und Pharmaindustrie unterschiedliche Bedeutung gewinnen kann. Es skizziert die Brust auch als Symbol, das in der Geschichte einem großen Wandel unterworfen war: von ernährender Drüse über Weiblichkeit, Sexualität, Unabhängigkeit und Politikum bis zum Therapieobjekt, umsatzträchtigem Gewebe und Mittel geschlechtlicher Diskriminierung. Die Autoren diskutieren anhand jüngster Daten in leicht verständlicher Sprache Chancen und Grenzen der Früherkennung, Sinn und Unsinn von Behandlungen, Wahrheit und Lüge von Statistiken, Nutzen und Risken von Hormonen sowie gewährte und verweigerte Entscheidungsfreiheiten für die Frau.

The book presents a state-of-the-art in environmental aerodynamics and the structural design of wind energy support structures, particularly from a modern computational perspective.

It is of interest to clinicians who wish to apply state-of-the-art knowledge to their management of this devastating condition and to basic scientists wishing to expand their understanding of cerebrovascular and neural pathophysiology related to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

In 1969, he moved to the Department of Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Engineering, Ehime University as an associate professor and he has been a full professor of the Department of Mathematics (now Department of Mathematical Sciences), Faculty of Science, since 1975.

Mixed finite element methods are a tool to solve complex engineering problems of different nature. On the other side the mathematical background is provided including proofs of convergence and stability of these methods and adequate solvers for mixed problems are discussed.
