MRI of Rectal Cancer
Oncology in general has seen vast advancements over recent years. Improved und- standing of tumor biology, multidisciplinary team decisions and an individualized therapy are cornerstones of treatment planning for cancer patients today. These dev- opments have challenged the imaging community with ever more specifc questions on tumor detection, staging and therapy control. Whereas this evolution applies to many tumor entities, rectal cancer takes an outstanding role, as it was the recognition of certain anatomical and pathological features of the disease, with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that induced radiology not only to aid in disease mana- ment, but in fact to be a powerf...
Principles of Metabolic Surgery
For physicians and surgeons entrusted with the care of patients with morbid obesity and related diseases; also for nurses and other professionals on the team. „Principles of Metabolic Surgery“ delivers a succinct account of current knowledge and an excellent overview of modern treatment strategies for morbid obesity. Attractively designed, this user-friendly textbook provides the latest on therapy, monitoring, and management, including: -Completely up-to-date coverage of modern metabolic surgery -Current understanding of the pathophysiology of morbid obesity -Current clinical therapy strategies for conservative and surgical approaches -Recent references In concise, readable chapters, this well-illustrated textbook outlines major concerns and considerations surrounding metabolic surgery. With respect to new insights from basic and clinical research, clear guidelines and practical clinical advice are given to improve the outcome of treatment for morbid obesity.
The Mechanical Behavior of Salt X
Rock salt formations have long been recognized as a valuable resource - not only for salt mining but for construction of oil and gas storage caverns and for isolation of radioactive and other hazardous wastes. Current interest is fast expanding towards construction and re-use of solution-mined caverns for storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen, compressed air and other gases. Evaluating the long term performance and safety of such systems demands an understanding of the coupled mechanical behavior and transport properties of salt. This volume presents a collection of 60 research papers defining the state-of-the-art in the field. Topics range from fundamental work on deformation ...
Experimental Algorithms
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, WEA 2007, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2007. The 30 revised full papers presented together with three invited talks cover the design, analysis, implementation, experimental evaluation, and engineering of efficient algorithms.
Assessing the Impact of Russia’s War against Ukraine on Eastern Partner Countries
Russia’s war against Ukraine is causing a humanitarian, social and economic crisis for the Ukrainian people. The consequences of this full-scale military invasion are disrupting the global supply of commodities, sharply increasing food and energy prices, and threating the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Synthetic Biology – Metabolic Engineering
This book review series presents current trends in modern biotechnology. The aim is to cover all aspects of this interdisciplinary technology where knowledge, methods and expertise are required from chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, chemical engineering and computer science. Volumes are organized topically and provide a comprehensive discussion of developments in the respective field over the past 3-5 years. The series also discusses new discoveries and applications. Special volumes are dedicated to selected topics which focus on new biotechnological products and new processes for their synthesis and purification. In general, special volumes are edited by well-known guest editors. The series editor and publisher will however always be pleased to receive suggestions and supplementary information. Manuscripts are accepted in English.
Conquering Procrastination
Are you putting something important off right now, because you 'don't feel like doing it? Do you feel like you're lazy and incompetent because you never get anything done on time? Maybe you feel out of control in your life because you let procrastination take control over you. Procrastination is the disease that everyone has, and no one wants. You may be procrastinating right now; maybe you're avoiding that long-overdue essay. Or maybe you're "taking a break" from your household chores or work task. Either way, you may think you have a problem with procrastinating. In 2019, a study named, "Return to the origin" by Tibbett from the Personality Psychology issue, stated, "Over 20 percent of adu...
Exploring and Expanding the Protein Universe with Non-Canonical Amino Acids
The site-specific incorporation of unnatural or non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins is a universally important tool for systems bioengineering at the interface of chemistry, biology, and biotechnology. The synergistic use of ncAA and related technologies (e.g. Xeno nucleic acids) should enable: i) New opportunities to manipulate, design and elucidate protein structure, dynamics, and function. ii) A deeper understanding of natural and evolved translational systems and their importance for artificial biology. iii) The synthesis of novel biopolymers, creating a solid basis for synthetic cells, which is also an important technology in the production of new classes of medically relevant protein-based scaffolds. Research on reprogrammed protein translation has now reached an experimental and intellectual maturity: more than 200 ncAA (i.e. more than ten times larger variety than standard amino acids) have been introduced into proteins using different routes: genetic code expansion (GCE), selective pressure incorporation (SPI), chemical mutagenesis, protein semi-synthesis, and peptide synthesis.
Wind Systems in the Dead Sea and Footprints in Seismic Records
Atmospheric processes, such as wind, impact the ground motion of the earth and have the potential to induce strong broad-band noise in seismological records. In order to quantify the influence of wind on ground motion velocity joint seismological and meteorological measurements were conducted at the Dead Sea.Results reveal a pronounced impact of wind on seismological records. A methodology is presented to account for the dependency of PSD of ground motion velocity on the horizontal wind field.
Actor & Avatar
What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles. Contributions on the making of »technical others« and philosophical reflections on artificial alterity are flanked by neuroscientific studies on different ways of perceiving living persons and artificial counterparts. The contributors have achieved a successful artistic-scientific collaboration with extensive visual material.
