Immunology of Pregnancy 2013
Since a September, 1992, Nature article which read: “Can there be life without LIF?”, researchers now realize that the maternal immune system is both a foe (it can reject the conception) and a friend (immune cells and molecules are also necessary for successful pregnancy). Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) when absent, prevents embryo implantation in rodents. From fecundation to parturition, immunity acts as a Janus, required but potentially dangerous. However, the complexity and the diversity of immunity in pregnancy deters many from entering the field. This book will try to give a complete overview of immunity from gametes till parturition, in brief, but with complete chapters and subse...
Global Perspectives on ADHD
Examining ADHD and its social and medical treatments around the world. Attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been a common psychiatric diagnosis in both children and adults since the 1980s and 1990s in the United States. But the diagnosis was much less common—even unknown—in other parts of the world. By the end of the twentieth century, this was no longer the case, and ADHD diagnosis and treatment became an increasingly widespread global phenomenon. As the diagnosis was adopted around the world, the definition and treatment of ADHD often changed in the context of different psychiatric professions, medical systems, and cultures. Global Perspectives on ADHD is the first book t...
Immunology of Animal Reproduction
The book is intended to the students involved in the study of microbiology, immunology, and animal reproduction as an introduction to more extensive studies. An overview of immunology is provided in the book to refer immediately any basic information needed, for further understanding of the subject dealt in this book. The chapters covered may provide the structural component for the basic understanding of the reproductive immunology in animals.It is designed to complement, but not to compete with the few books available with regard to reproduction. The book is profusely illustrated with figures and tables. The concise nature of the book and the simple and clear treatment of the topics, it is hopefully will prove to be useful to all.

Evolutionary Biology
This book presents selected contributions to the 19th Evolutionary Biology Meeting, which took place in September 2015 in Marseille. It consists of 22 chapters, which are grouped in four sections: · Convergent Evolution · Evolution of Complex Traits · Concepts · Methods The annual Evolutionary Biology Meetings in Marseille serve to gather leading evolutionary biologists and other scientists using evolutionary biology concepts, e.g for medical research, to promote the exchange of ideas and to encourage interdisciplinary collaborations. Offering an up-to-date overview of recent findings in the field of evolutionary biology, this book is an invaluable source of information for scientists, teachers and advanced students.
Central Bank Dollar Swap Lines and Overseas Dollar Funding Costs
Following a scarcity of dollar funding available internationally to banks and financial institutions, in Dec. 2007 the Federal Reserve began to establish or expand Temporary Reciprocal Currency Arrangements with 14 foreign central banks. These central banks had the capacity to use these swap facilities to provide dollar liquidity to institutions in their jurisdictions. This paper presents the developments in the dollar swap facilities through the end of 2009. The facilities were a response to dollar funding shortages outside the U.S. during a period of market dysfunction. The dollar swap lines among central banks were effective at reducing the dollar funding pressures abroad and stresses in money markets. Charts and tables.
Financial Amplification Mechanisms and the Federal Reserve's Supply of Liquidity During the Crisis
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The small decline in the value of mortgage-related assets relative to the large total losses assoc. with the financial crisis suggests the presence of financial amplification mechanisms (FAM), which allow relatively small shocks to propagate through the financial system. The Federal Reserve¿s (FR) early-stage liquidity programs worked to dampen the balance sheet FAM arising from the positive feedback between financial constraints and asset prices. The FR¿s later-stage crisis programs takes into account adverse-selection FAM that operate via increases in credit risk and the externality imposed by risky borrowers on safe ones. New evidence suggests that increases in the FR¿s liquidity supply reduce interest rates during periods of high liquidity risk. Illus.
Shakespeare on screen, Richard III
This volume does not only provide the reader with diverging assessments of the Richard III films, but it also deploys a large array of methodologies used to study ‘Shakespeare on film’. What gives the volume its coherence is that it thoroughly interrogates what those films do with and to Shakespeare’s text and suggests that, at least for Shakespearean scholars, Shakespearean films are hybrid creatures. They are and are not films; they are and are not Shakespeare.Ce volume offre non seulement au lecteur un examen précis et pluriel des adaptations filmiques de Richard III mais il déploie tout l’éventail des méthodologies qui permettent d’étudier Shakespeare à l’écran. La cohérence de ce volume vient de ce qu’il propose des questionnements multiples sur ce que ces films font de Shakespeare et suggère que le film shakespearien est une créature hybride qui est et n’est pas un film, qui est et n’est pas Shakespeare.
