Sector Field Mass Spectometry for Elemental and Isotopic Analysis
This book was triggered by the success story of sector field mass spectrometry in elemental and isotopic analysis from the early days when the first mass spectrum of Ne was presented a hundred years ago. The outstanding and unique features of sector field mass spectrometry - high sensitivity, high mass resolution and simultaneous multiple ion detection - paved the way for its successful and increasing application in different fields of science. Written, compiled and edited by worldwide renowned experts with profound expertise in sector field mass spectrometry related to elemental and isotopic analysis, this book is intended to provide deep insight into the topic along with fundamental knowle...
Motherhood in Antiquity
This edited collection examines concepts and realities of motherhood in the ancient world. The collection uses essays on the Roman Empire, Mesoamerica, the Philippines, Egypt, and India to emphasize the concept of motherhood as a worldwide phenomenon and experience. While covering a wide geographical range, the editors arranged the collection thematically to explore themes including the relationship between the mother, particularly ruling mothers, and children and the mother in real life and legend. Some essays explore related issues, such as adaptation and child custody after divorce in ancient Egypt and the mother in religious culture of late antiquity and the ancient Buddhist Indian world. The contributors utilize a variety of methodologies and approaches including textual analysis and archaeological analysis in addition to traditional historical methodology.
Population Dynamics in Prehistory and Early History
Migrations and population dynamics are considered very problematic topics in the fields of ancient studies. Recent scholarship in (pre)historical population has generated new impulses by using scientific approaches using radiogenic and stable isotopes, and palaeogenetics, as well as computer simulation. As a result, the state of migration research has undergone rapid change. Several research groups presented papers at aconference held in Berlin in 2010, addressing specific historical aspects of population dynamics and migration, with no chronological or geographical restrictions, in the light of cutting-edge bio-archaeological research. This volume, divided into three larger thematic sections (isotope analysis, population genetics, and modelling and computer simulation), presents experiences and insights about methodological approaches, research results and prospects for future research in this area in a varied collection of papers. Scholars from widely diverse scientific disciplines present their approaches, findings and interpretations to an audience far broader than the circles of the individual disciplines.
Growing Up in the Ice Age
In prehistoric societies children comprised 40–65% of the population, yet by default, our ancestral landscapes are peopled by adults who hunt, gather, fish, knap tools, and make art. But these adults were also parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who had to make space physically, emotionally, intellectually, and cognitively for the infants, children, and adolescents around them. Growing Up in the Ice Age is a timely and evidence-based look at the lived lives of Paleolithic children and the communities of which they were a part. By rendering these ‘invisible’ children visible, readers will gain a new understanding of the Paleolithic period as a whole, and in doing so will learn how children have contributed to the biological and cultural entities we are today.
Isotope Research in Zooarchaeology
New techniques for understanding animal and human interactions in the past Through case studies of faunal remains from Roman Britain, prehistoric Southeast Asia, ancient African pastoral cultures, and beyond, this volume illustrates some of the ways stable isotope analysis of ancient animals can address key questions in human prehistory. Contributors use a diverse set of isotopic techniques to investigate social and biological topics, including human paleodiets and foodways, hunting and procurement strategies, exchange patterns, animal husbandry and the genetic consequences of domestication, and short- and long-term environmental change. They demonstrate how different isotopes can be used alone or in conjunction to address questions of animal diet, movement, ecology, and management. Studies also examine how sampling strategies, statistical techniques, and regional and temporal considerations can influence isotopic results and interpretations. By applying these new methods in concert with traditional zooarchaeological analyses, archaeologists can explore questions about human ecology and environmental archaeology that were previously deemed inaccessible.
Analytik
Die 1894 erstmals erschienenen „Logarithmische Rechentafeln für Chemiker" von Friedrich Wilhelm Küster mauserten sich zu einem Klassiker unter den Nachschlagewerken zur Analytischen Chemie. Im Vordergrund stand und steht immer die Unterstützung des Anwenders in Fragen der schnellen, hochqualitativen Versorgung mit Informationen rund um Analysentechniken. Dies ist auch in Zeiten der zunehmenden Dominanz des Internets noch von unschätzbarem Wert. Wer dort eine Frage stellt, bekommt darauf zwar Antworten, nur sind diese oftmals verschieden und auch widersprüchlich, so dass der nicht so versierte Experte hilflos vor dem Informationschaos steht. Hier setzt dieses mittlerweile „Analytik â...
Successful Drug Discovery, Volume 1
The first volume of the book series "Successful Drug Discovery" is focusing on new drug discoveries during the last decade, from established drugs to recently introduced drugs of all kinds: small-molecule-, peptide-, and protein-based drugs. The role of serendipity is analyzed in some very successful drugs where the research targets of the lead molecule and the drug are different. Phenotypic and target-based drug discovery approaches are discussed from the viewpoint of pioneer drugs and analogues. This volume gives an excellent overview of insulin analogues including a discussion of the properties of rapid-acting and long-acting formulations of this important hormone. The major part of the book is devoted to case histories of new drug discoveries described by their key inventors. Eight case histories range across many therapeutic fields. The goal of this book series is to help the participants of the drug research community with a reference book series and to support teaching in medicinal chemistry with case histories and review articles of new drugs.
Transnationale Parteienkooperation der europäischen Christdemokraten und Konservativen
Christdemokratische und konservative Parteien spielten in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine immer wichtigere integrationspolitische Rolle. Es gab neue Anreize und Herausforderungen für transnationale Kontakte und organisierte Parteienkooperation. Nach dem „Genfer Kreis“ und den „Nouvelles Equipes Internationales“ (NEI) konstituierte sich die „Europäische Union Christlicher Demokraten“ (EUCD) 1965. Es folgten die Europäische Volkspartei (EVP) 1976 und die European Democrat Union (EDU) 1978. Diese Parteienzusammenschlüsse führten zur Abstimmung in politischen und ideologischen Fragen sowie zu gemeinsamem Vorgehen auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene. Dabei ging...
