Information Arts
An introduction to the work and ideas of artists who use—and even influence—science and technology. A new breed of contemporary artist engages science and technology—not just to adopt the vocabulary and gizmos, but to explore and comment on the content, agendas, and possibilities. Indeed, proposes Stephen Wilson, the role of the artist is not only to interpret and to spread scientific knowledge, but to be an active partner in determining the direction of research. Years ago, C. P. Snow wrote about the "two cultures" of science and the humanities; these developments may finally help to change the outlook of those who view science and technology as separate from the general culture. In t...
Marginal Paris
This volume invites you to wander through the shadows of the City of Light and discover another, often invisible and silent Paris. Its chapters explore Parisian margins, including various populations, spaces and practices, as represented in French literature and cinema since 1800. You will take a peek at the Parisians’ criminal activities and nocturnal lives in the nineteenth century, and witness how industrialization and capitalism between the 1850s and the 1970s reshaped the socioeconomic map of the city by creating or reinforcing spaces of social inequity. You will also meet marginalized groups that are often ignored or neglected in today’s Paris—and French society—including the LGBTQIA+, Black and immigrant communities.

Liver Diseases
Twenty-nine articles by a richly international group of specialists offer new insights into many areas of liver disease. The first volume contains articles on mediators and regulation of liver disease and the immunological basis of liver injury, with individual topics that include the role of chemokines in liver pathophysiology, the basis for immune recognition of cellular targets in primary biliary cirrhosis, and the role of nitric oxide in liver disorders. Volume Two contains articles on pathophysiology, therapy, and diagnosis and includes chapters on molecular virology and therapeutic targets for the Hepatitis C virus, and new therapeutic approaches for hepatic fibrosis. The three editors are Ali (biochemistry, Deemed U., New Delhi, India), Scott L. Friedman (division of liver diseases, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York), and Derek A. Mann (molecular biology, Southampton U. Hospital, UK). Distributed in the US by Enfield. Annotation :2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Hépatites virales B et C
Deux milliards d'individus dans le monde seraient infectés par le virus de l'hépatite B et on estime à plus de 350 millions le nombre de personnes soufrant d'une hépatite chronique. Il s'agit donc d'un problème mondial, particulièrement grave dans les pays en développement. Découvert en 1989, le virus de l'hépatite C est la première cause d'hépatites chroniques et de cirrhose en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Au cours des dernières années, il s'est imposé comme un problème de santé publique majeur dans tous les pays développés. Parmi les virus des hépatites, les auteurs ont choisi de ne s'intéresser ici qu'aux hépatites virales B et C, qui ont en commun la propension à...

Liver Diseases (2 Vols.)
This book presents state-of-art information summarizing the current understanding of a range of liver diseases, and reviews some key diagnostic and therapeutic advances. The book is a collection of selected clinical and scientific topics divided into two volumes, each divided into two sections. The first volume treats the cellular, biochemical and
Perfect Incompressible Fluids
An accessible and self-contained introduction to recent advances in fluid dynamics, this book provides an authoritative account of the Euler equations for a perfect incompressible fluid. The book begins with a derivation of the Euler equations from a variational principle. It then recalls the relations on vorticity and pressure and proposes various weak formulations. The book develops the key tools for analysis: the Littlewood-Paley theory, action of Fourier multipliers on L spaces, and partial differential calculus. These techniques are used to prove various recent results concerning vortex patches or sheets; the main results include the persistence of the smoothness of the boundary of a vortex patch, even if that smoothness allows singular points, and the existence of weak solutions of the vorticity sheet type. The text also presents properties of microlocal (analytic or Gevrey) regularity of the solutions of Euler equations and links such properties to the smoothness in time of the flow of the solution vector field.
