In view of the interest in developing vaccines against other herpes viruses, there was also a presentation on the current status of vaccines against cytomegaloviruses (CMV) at the conference.

Recent research on high expressed emotion (HEE) in schizophrenia (e.g., early psychosis) and borderline disorder, patients' perspectives of HEE as well as other variables predictive for relapse in recent-onset schizophrenia are covered in this book.

This supplement includes selected contributions from this course and will serve as an essential handbook providing basic tools to guide research and publication work, presenting time-saving advice, and resulting in the most beneficial contributions in experimental and clinical research.

The calculus of relations has been an important component of the development of logic and algebra since the middle of the nineteenth century, when Augustus De Morgan observed that since a horse is an animal we should be able to infer that the head of a horse is the head of an animal.

This text presents papers from the fifth International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Technology - AMST'99. It provides up-to-date information on the developments, research results and industrial experience in the field of advanced manufacturing systems and technology.

Includes such chapters as: neural networks; theory and applications - NNs (= neural networks) classifier on continuous data domains; quantum associative memory; a new class of neuron-like discrete filters to image processing; and, modular NNs for improving generalisation properties.

Das Werk bietet aktuelle Diskurse der Medienkunst im internationalen Kontext und ist gleichzeitig das Buch zur.

Development is challenged by, at least until 2050, a strong population, more severe environmental strains, growing mobility, and dwindling energy resources. The European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) sheds a new light on threats, risks and sustainability by combining approaches from various disciplines.

This handbook provides both basic theory and suggestions for daily practice. The coverage reviews classic symptoms of disturbed attachment, and outlines treatment, from measures to ensure a healthy attachment early in life to treatment at different stages of personality development.

In July 2004 specialists in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology and neurointensive care discussed recent trends at the 2nd Swiss Japanese Joint Conference on Cerebral Stroke Surgery, held in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Yearbook on Space Policy aims to be the reference publication analyzing space policy developments. Each year it presents issues and trends in space policy and the space sector as a whole. Its scope is global and its perspective is European.

To me personally the most fascinating aspect of mathematical device analysis is that an interplay of abstract mathematics, perturbation theory, numerical analysis and device physics is prompting the design and development of new technology.

Generalized convexity conditions play a major role in many modern mechanical applications. Moreover, understanding these convexity conditions helps in deriving reliable mechanical models. The book summarizes the well established as well as the newest results in the field of poly-, quasi and rank-one convexity.

The book comprehensively combines clinical and research information related to neurophysiology in disorder-of- consciousness patients, making it an easily accessible reference for neuro-ICU specialists, epileptologists and clinical neurophysiologists as well as researchers utilizing EEG and event-related potentials.

In addition, the patient's perspectives of disease, diagnostics and treatment are included, the same as economic aspects of GERD, and the impact of disease on quality of life or patient-reported outcomes after treatment.

Gives an overview on advanced research developments in the field of ICP and related brain monitoring and on management and therapy of relevant acute brain diseases.

Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) serves to control essential functions throughout the human body and represents a novel and attractive target for therapeutic intervention.

The book contains 26 scientific contributions by leading experts from Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan and Taiwan. Main topics are nonlinear control of structures and systems, sensing and actuation, active and passive damping, nano- and micromechanics, vibrations and waves.

The work describes a new method of sphincter salvage in surgery of rectal cancer. Low tumors of the rectum are traditionally treated with amputation of the rectum. By contrast, intersphincteric resection allows sphincter salvage even in low tumors and is now widely accepted among experts in the field of colorectal surgery.

The main focus of computational medicine lies in the development of data analysis methods and mathematical modeling as well as computational simulation techniques specifically addressing medical problems.

This book covers breakthroughs in sequencing methodology which offer new insight into metabolic and regulatory networks, as well as clues to the evolution of degradation pathways and to molecular adaptation strategies to changing environmental conditions.

Multiple System Atrophy

Grounding its methodology in the well established principles of systems such as PRINCE2 and StageGate, this volume provides all the necessary background needed to direct cooperative product engineering projects in a micro- and nanotechnology setting.

This volume presents the application of the Monte Carlo method to the simulation of semiconductor devices, reviewing the physics of transport in semiconductors, followed by an introduction to the physics of semiconductor devices.

Molecular Computing explores whether molecular primitives can prove to be real alternatives to contemporary semiconductor means. The text discusses molecular primitives and circuitry for information processing devices.

Space activities are one particularly visible area, where Europe can shape its identity. This publication investigates the effect space activities have already had on building a European "spirit" (e.g. Based on this analysis, the book's intention is to identify creative ways and means for how to further use space for shaping the European identity.

The book contains 26 scientific contributions by leading experts from Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan and Taiwan. Main topics are nonlinear control of structures and systems, sensing and actuation, active and passive damping, nano- and micromechanics, vibrations and waves.

Socially enhanced Services Computing deals with a novel and exciting new field at the intersection between Social Computing, Service-oriented Computing, Crowd Computing, and Cloud Computing.

This book shows the range of current theoretical concepts and tools in earth deformation studies: poroelastic field theory to micro-mechanical and homogenization studies, chemomechanics and interfacial stability theory of soluble solids under stress and more.
