Die politischen Institutionen des Landes Glarus und deren Amtsinhaber
Das Buch beschreibt die politischen Institutionen des Landes Glarus und deren Amtsinhaber aus der Frühzeit bis am 1.1.2024. Das Buch ist zweisprachig Deutsch und Englisch und die Amtsinhaber in den zahlreichen Verzeichnissen sind im Genealogiewerk von Kubly-Müller, welches im Landesarchiv von Glarus aufbewahrt wird, aufgeführt und entsprechend referenziert.
Biomimetics for Architecture & Design
This book provides the readers with a timely guide to the application of biomimetic principles in architecture and engineering design. As a result of a combined effort by two internationally recognized authorities, the biologist Werner Nachtigall and the architect Göran Pohl, the book describes the principles which can be used to compare nature and technology, and at the same time it presents detailed explanations and examples showing how biology can be used as a source of inspiration and “translated” in building and architectural solutions (biomimicry). Even though nature cannot be directly copied, the living world can provide architects and engineers with a wealth of analogues and ins...

Self-Healing Polymers
Self-healing is a well-known phenomenon in nature: a broken bone merges after some time and if skin is damaged, the wound will stop bleeding and heals again. This concept can be mimicked in order to create polymeric materials with the ability to regenerate after they have suffered degradation or wear. Already realized applications are used in aerospace engineering, and current research in this fascinating field shows how different self-healing mechanisms proven successful by nature can be adapted to produce even more versatile materials. The book combines the knowledge of an international panel of experts in the field and provides the reader with chemical and physical concepts for self-healing polymers, including aspects of biomimetic processes of healing in nature. It shows how to design self-healing polymers and explains the dynamics in these systems. Different self-healing concepts such as encapsulated systems and supramolecular systems are detailed. Chapters on analysis and friction detection in self-healing polymers and on applications round off the book.
New Advances in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pharmacology
Hardbound. New Advances in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pharmacology presents the proceedings of the IX Latin American Congress of Physiological Sciences and the 2nd Scientific Meeting of the Latin American Society of Hypertension held September 1997 in Caracas, Venezuela. Contributors were selected from among the world's most outstanding investigators in the field of cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology. Original research and current state-of-the-art reviews are presented discussing hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure and drug therapy.In the area of hypertension, the presentations included topics on what can be learned from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; on pathogenic factors...the role of angiotensin II receptors, on dopamine receptors and serotonin receptors; on the role of salt and hyperinsulinemia; on the effect of histamine receptors on norepinephrine; and on the use of histamine synthesis antagonists.
Understanding the Context of Cognitive Aging
This book provides a bi-national portrait of dementia in the rapidly aging Mexican-origin population in Mexico and the United States. It provides a comprehensive overview of critical conceptual and methodological issues in the study of cognitive aging and related mental and physical conditions. The book examines the sources of vulnerability and their consequences for Mexican-origin and for “aging in place”. By providing a combination of new knowledge, empirical evidence, and fresh approaches of dementia support in later life, this book will contribute to moving the field of Mexican-origin aging and health forward. By focusing on the serious challenges in old-age support for older people with dementia and neurocognitive disorders in two different contexts, this book will deepen academics, researchers, students and young investigators understanding of what is necessary to achieve optional care.
Chronic Medical Disease and Cognitive Aging
This book explores the important and often overlooked connection between how chronic medical diseases of the body can affect the brain. Experts within the field discuss current research, potential biological mechanisms, and possible interventions or treatments aimed at improving cognitive health for a variety of medical diseases.
Advances in Visualization and Optimization Techniques for Multidisciplinary Research
This volume presents several multidisciplinary approaches to the visual representation of data acquired from experiments. As an expansion of these approaches, it is also possible to include data examination generated by mathematical-physical modeling. Imaging Systems encompass any subject related to digital images, from fundamental requirements for a correct image acquisition to computational algorithms that make it possible to obtain relevant information for image analysis. In this context, the book presents selected contributions of a special session at the Conference on Advanced Computational Engineering and Experimenting (ACE-X) 2016.
Metals and the Biology and Virulence of Brucella
This book summarises the current knowledge on the role played by biologically relevant transition metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, Cu and Mg) in the basic biology and virulence of bacterial pathogens from the genus Brucella. The authors explore the biological functions of these metals, how these bacteria compete with their mammalian hosts for these metals and how they avoid metal toxicity. Researchers and professionals studying zoonotic pathogens from the genus Brucella find this book valuable.
