Discusses the molecular mechanisms involved in many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, and Parkinson's disease, as well as disorders of the eye, skin, cardiac, and pulmonary systems. This volume also deals with the value of dietary supplementation with antioxidants in the prevention of cellular damage.

The book begins by addressing the properties of light as seen in the everyday world: events such as refraction in a pool, lenses in the form of glasses, the colors of objects, and atmospheric events.

This book will help engineers write better Verilog/SystemVerilog design and verification code as well as deliver digital designs to market more quickly. It shows over 100 common coding mistakes that can be made with the Verilog and SystemVerilog languages.

Encompassing all the major topics students will encounter in courses on the subject, the authors teach both the underlying mathematical foundations and how these ideas are implemented in practice.

This breeder's manual for water-limited environments is unique and timely, offering realistic solutions and protocols for drought resistant cultivars by integrating knowledge from environmental science, plant physiology, genetics and molecular biology.

The third edition of this classic text again provides practical, comprehensive coverage of the anatomical and physiological basis for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. Many of the chapters have been revised and new material has been added.

This book offers a review of the literature to create a comprehensive reference for mycotoxin levels. This unique database focuses on the incidence of a mycotoxin in humans and/or animals (natural or artificial incidence).

Authored by two of the field's most prominent researchers, this new edition has been comprehensively updated, with new material on contemporary models and methods including stochastic DEA models, material on Sharpe-ratio, and asset liability management.

This second in the series of three volumes builds upon the basic theory of linear PDE given in volume 1, and pursues more advanced topics. The book also develops basic differential geometrical concepts centred about curvature.

This book offers statistical models and methods used to understand human genetics, focusing on modern approaches to association analysis. Numerous examples illustrate key points, and the text includes exercises for students with a broad range of skill levels.

This book provides a self-contained review of all the relevant topics in probability theory. A software package called MAXIM, which runs on MATLAB, is made available for downloading. Vidyadhar G. Kulkarni is Professor of Operations Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Meeting the complex needs of at-risk students is a daunting challenge. One solution is to implement a school-based mental health approach that combines learning and counseling. This book focuses on how to implement a week-long integrated program of this kind.

Transient Chaos provides an overview of the field, based on a summation of nearly three decades of intensive research. Written by experts in the field, this volume shows why transient chaos is important to the nonlinear-science community, as well as other scientific disciplines.

Dynamical Systems and Chaos provides an overview of the field that bridges the gap between abstract and applied areas of study. Exercises included at the end of each chapter illustrate the concepts discussed, and are appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses, alike.

The work of renowned oncologist Dr. Herman Suit, this fascinating chronicle includes not only a historical perspective of MGH, beginning in 1811, but covers Dr. Suit's 30-year tenure from 1970-2000 as head of what is now a world-class oncology facility.

This book presents methods for solving multidimensional statistical problems. Covering both theory and applications, it emphasizes inverse problems, multidimensional modeling, random fields and hierarchical methods.

With an emphasis on aperture synthesis as well as the effects of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere and techniques developed to overcome image degradation, this book covers all the fundamentals of stellar interferometry and includes dozens of illustrations.

This study discusses the history of the central limit theorem and related probabilistic limit theorems from about 1810 through 1950. Coverage extends to the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools.

Based on the author's taught course at Arizona State University, this text focuses on the elements needed to understand the applications literature involving delay equations. It covers both the constructive and analytical mathematical models in the subject.

For those making a serious study of the history of psychology, this book will inspire a wave of discussion and inquiry. With eloquence and passion, it analyzes the many functions religion and psychology play in our understanding of the human life and mind.

This overview of Australian post-contact history uses material objects such as artefacts, buildings, and landscapes. The book offers broad geographic and temporal coverage, and social themes such as gender, status, ethnicity and identity inform every chapter.
