This book constitutes the refeered proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Processing in Medical Imaging, IPMI 2009, held in Williamsburg, VA, USA, in July 2009 The 26 revised full papers and 33 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 150 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on diffusion imaging, PET imaging, image registration, functional networks, space curves, tractography, microscopy, exploratory analyses, features and detection, image guided surgery, shape analysis, motion, and segmentation and validation.
A comprehensive collection of the applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electron-Spin Resonance (ESR). Covers the wide ranging disciplines in which these techniques are used: * Chemistry; * Biological Sciences; * Pharmaceutical Sciences; * Medical uses; * Marine Science; * Materials Science; * Food Science. Illustrates many techniques through the applications described, e.g.: * High resolution solid and liquid state NMR; * Low resolution NMR, especially important in food science; * Solution State NMR, especially important in pharmaceutical sciences; * Magnetic Resonance Imaging, especially important for medical uses; * Electron Spin Resonance, especially important for spin-labelling in food, marine and medical studies.
Since the first volume on Biophysical Techniques in Photosynthesis Research, published in 1996, new experimental techniques and methods have been devised at a rapid pace. The present book is a sequel which complements the publication of the first volume by providing a comprehensive overview of the most important new techniques developed over the past ten years, especially those that are relevant for research on the mechanism and fundamental aspects of photosynthesis.
Carl Zimmer (carlzimmer.com) is one of the countrys leading science writers. A regular contributor to the New York Times and magazines like Scientific American and Discover, he is the author of six books, including Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea and Parasite Rex. He has won numerous awards from institutions including the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences. EO Wilson says The Tangled Bank is the best written and best illustrated introduction to evolution of the Darwin centennial decade, and also the most conversant with ongoing research. It is excellent for students, the general public, and even other biologists.
Meet venomologist Bryan Grieg Fry, the man with one of the most dangerous job in Australia - working with the world's most deadly creatures.

In this action-packed ride through Bryan Grieg Fry's life you'll meet the man who's worked with the world's most venomous crea...
Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT): Techniques and Applications disseminates research efforts in the security and resilience of intelligent data-centric critical systems to support advanced research in this area. Sections cover the background of IoMT Architectures and Technologies, describe the problems that arise in IoMT Computing and protocols, and illustrate the application of IoMT on Industrial applications. The book will be beneficial for engineers, developers, solution designers, architects, system engineers and specialists from professional environments interested in the IoMT to seek appropriate solutions to their specific problems. - Addresses recent developments, along with relevant prospects on opportunities and challenges in IoMT - Presents the concept and vision of the IoMT, whose potentialities are discussed with speci?c use-cases - Discusses the distinct architectural design and characteristics of IoMT as compared to the existing multimedia systems
Ronduit meeslepend, voor de lezers van Annejet van der Zijl Het is augustus 1945. Japan heeft onverwacht snel gecapituleerd. Nederland wil de controle over Nederlands-Indië terug, maar stuit op verzet van zowel de geallieerden als de Indonesische bevolking. Om in de kolonie toch zo snel mogelijk weer voet aan de grond te krijgen landen op 17 september 1945 de eerste Nederlandse troepen op Java. De groep van honderd bestaat naast gemilitariseerd medisch personeel uit een handvol vrouwelijke soldaten. De vaak piepjonge leden van het Vrouwenkorps van het Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger moeten zich staande zien te houden in de orgie van geweld die uitbreekt in de pas uitgeroepen Republiek...
Stroke remains one of the most devastating diseases in industrialized countries. Recanalization of the occluded arterial vessel using thrombolysis is the only causal therapy available. However, thrombolysis is limited due to severe side effects and a limited time window. As such, only a minority of patients receives this kind of therapy, showing a need for new and innovative treatment strategies. Although neuroprotective drugs have been shown to be beneficial in a variety of experimental stroke models, they ultimately failed in clinical trials. Consequently, recent scientific focus has been put on modulation of post-ischemic neuroregeneration, either via stimulation of endogenous neurogenesi...
