Book Description Preface: To understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the major thrusts of present-day clinical research, strongly supported by more fundamental cellular, biochemical, immunological and structural studies It is these latter that receive attention within this book This compilation of 20 chapters indicates the diversity озред of work currently in progress and summarizes the current state of knowledge Experienced authors who are scientifically active in their fields of studyhave been selected as contributors to this book, in an attempt to present a reasonably complete survey of the field Inevitably, some exciting topics for one reason or another have not been included, for which we can only apologize Standardization of terminology is often a problem in science, not least in the Alzheimer field; editorial effort has been made to achieve standardazation between the Chapters, but some minor yet acceptable personal / author variation is still present, i e ß-amyloid/amyloid-ß; Aß42/Aß1-42/Aß1-42! The book commences with a broad survey of the contribution that the range of available microscopical techniques has made to the study of Alzheimer’s amyloid plaques and amyloid fibrillogenesis This chapter also serves as an Introduction to the book, since several of the topics introduced here are expanded upon in later chapters Also, it is significant to the presence of this chapter that the initial discovery of brain plaques,by Alois Alzheimer, utilized light microscopy, a technique that continues to be extremely valuable in present-day AD research Then follow 19 further chapters dealing with interesting areas of research that have a bearing upon Alzheimer’s disease The authors present their own data within the context of a review of related work from others in their field of study Transgenic mouse models for AD are increasingly important and widely used, as is the understanding of the enzymology and biochemistry of amyloid ß production from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the ß- and g -secretases, and the non-amyloidogenic APP cleavage products due to a -secreatases Similarly, discussion of the enzymes responsible for the natural degradation of amyloid-ß is included Oxidative stress in AD and the possible protective role of vitamin E have emerged as highly significant topics Likewise, the role of the metals, aluminium copper and zinc in AD is thoroughly addressed, along with the possible value of metal chelation Current concepts as to the fundamental importance of amyloid-ß oligomers versus Aß fibrillar deposits (diffuse and senile plaques) in the pathogenesis of AD is presented, along with the likely role of tissue and cellular cholesterol in the promotion of Aß fibrillogenesis, and Congo red binding to Aß fibrils Several naturally occurring human proteins have the ability to bind to Aß and are found in AD diffuse and senile plaques ApolipoproteinE4, clusterin (ApoJ) and acetylcholinesterase are considered in depth The direct effects of Aß on neuronal membranes, in terms of neuronal membrane fluidity changes and calcium ion transport are dealt with, then the role of amyloid inhibitors and ß-sheet breaking drugs is included The likely important beneficial effects of the cholesterol-lowering drugs, the statins, in lowering brain Aß and consequently the therapeutic prevention of AD by reducing Aß deposition in plaques is discussed thoroughly Finally, an exciting new concept is advanced, namely the possible significance of phosphorylated Aß in Alzheimer’s disease From in vitro experiments Aß phosphorylation appears to increase the proportion of Aß oligomeric forms, an observation which correlates with a the higher cytotoxicity of this species, compared to non-phosphorylated Aß The editors hope that this book will be of interest and value to both medical and scientific research communities working on AD, and to others with a more general interest in the understanding of this devastating neurodegenerative disorder of the elderly Prof J Robin Harris Prof Falk Fahrenholz University of Mainz August, 2004.  Iron   Lowl   Morn   Robe2004 г 409 стр ISBN 0387232257.

Disagreements about the morality of markets, and about self-interested behavior within markets, run deep They arise from perspectives within economics and political philosophy that appear to have nothing in common In this book, Daniel Finn provides a framework for understanding these conflicting points of view Recounting the arguments for озржы and against markets and self-interest, he argues that every economy must address four fundamental problems: allocation, distribution, scale, and the quality of relations In addition, every perspective on the morality of markets addresses explicitly or implicitly the economic, political, and cultural contexts of markets, or what Finn terms 'the moral ecology of markets' His book enables a dialogue among the various participants in the debate over justice in markets In this process, Finn engages with major figures in political philosophy, including John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and Michael Walzer, as well as in economics, notably Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and James Buchannan.  8942   Seve   Удар   Renz2006 г Мягкая обложка, 182 стр ISBN 0521677998.

In 1957 Sputnik, the world’s first satellite, dazzled people as it zipped around the planet By the turn of the twenty-first century, more than eight thousand satellites orbited the Earth, and satellite practices such as live transmission, direct broadcasting, remote sensing, and astronomical observation had altered how we imagined ourselves озрзг in relation to others and our planet within the cosmos In Cultures in Orbit, Lisa Parks analyzes these satellite practices and shows how they have impacted meanings of the global and the televisual Parks suggests that the convergence of broadcast, satellite, and computer technologies necessitates an expanded definition of television, one that encompasses practices of military monitoring and scientific observation as well as commercial entertainment and public broadcasting Roaming across the disciplines of media studies, geography, and science and technology studies, Parks examines uses of satellites by broadcasters, military officials, archaeologists, and astronomers She looks at Our World, a live intercontinental television program that reached five hundred million viewers in 1967, and Imparja tv, an Aboriginal satellite tv network in Australia Turning to satellites’ remote sensing capabilities, she explores the U S military’s production of satellite images of the war in Bosnia as well as archaeologists’ use of satellites in the excavation of Cleopatra’s palace in Alexandria, Egypt Parks’s reflections on how Western fantasies of control are implicated in the Hubble telescope’s views of outer space point to a broader concern: that while satellite uses promise a global village, they also cut and divide the planet in ways that extend the hegemony of the post-industrial West In focusing on such contradictions, Parks highlights how satellites cross paths with cultural politics and social struggles.  stud   Afro   Prin   Миро2005 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 0822334976.

Book DescriptionHow can one trust computation taking place at a remote site, particularly if a party at that site might have motivation to subvert this trust? In recent years, industrial efforts have advanced the notion of a "trusted computing platform" as a building block Through a conspiracy of hardware and software magic, these озрие platforms attempt to solve this remote trust problem, to preserve various critical properties against various types of adversaries However, these current efforts are just points on a larger continuum, which ranges from earlier work on secure coprocessor design and applications, through TCPA/TCG, to recent academic developments Without wading through stacks of theses and research literature, the general computer science reader cannot see this big picture Trusted Computing Platforms: Design and Applications fills this gap Starting with early prototypes and proposed applications, this book surveys the longer history of amplifying small amounts of hardware security into broader system security – and reports real case study experience with security architecture and applications on multiple types of platforms The author examines the theory, design, and implementation of the IBM 4758 secure coprocessor platform and discusses real case study applications that exploit the unique capabilities of this platform The author discusses how these foundations grow into newer industrial designs, and discusses alternate architectures and case studies of applications that this newer hardware can enable The author closes with an examination of more recent cutting-edge experimental work in this area Trusted Computing Platforms: Design and Applications is written for security architects, application designers, and the general computer scientist interested in the evolution and uses of this emerging technology.  Куца   Mast   Стер   моло2004 г 244 стр ISBN 0387239162.

Scholars and journalists have looked mostly to Mexico's own economy and society for the chief causes of Mexican migration to the United States This book presents a strikingly contrasting explanation and offers a persuasive historical re-examination of the history of relations between the two countries Gilbert Gonzalez dispels the myth that озргъ Mexican migration conforms to the pattern of earlier European migrations Mexican migration, he shows, is the social consequence of U S economic domination over Mexico Since the late nineteenth century, powerful U S capitalist enterprises have controlled important sectors of the Mexican economy, a dominance that uprooted peasants and small farmers from traditional farming villages Those uprooted turned to internal migration and then proceeded into the U S to be integrated into the largest capitalist corporations in the world The mass migration has had a number of implications, from indentured labor to legal and illegal labor Gonzalez's book examines recent Bush initiatives, NAFTA measures, and the history of antecedent bracero programs supported by U S government and business to show how colonial explanations of migration better fit historical patterns.  Росс   Undi   Арцр   Jerz2005 г Твердый переплет, 238 стр ISBN 1594511500.

The years between 1870 and 1939 were a crucial period in the growth of industrial capitalism in Canada, as well as a time when many women joined the paid workforce Yet despite the increase in employment, women faced a difficult struggle in gaining fair remuneration for their work and in gaining access to better jobs Discounted Labour analyses the озрек historical roots of women's persistent inequality in the paid labour force Ruth A Frager and Carmela K Patrias analyse how and why women became confined to low-wage jobs, why their work was deemed less valuable than men's work, why many women lacked training, job experience, and union membership, and under what circumstances women resisted their subordination Distinctive earning discrepancies and employment patterns have always characterized women's place in the workforce whether they have been in low-status, unskilled jobs, or in higher positions For this reason, Frager and Patrias focus not only on women wage-earners but on women as salaried workers as well They also analyze the divisions among women, examining how class and ethnic or racial differences have intersected with those of gender Discounted Labour is an essential new work for anyone interested in the historical struggle for gender equality in Canada.  Jame   Алек   Cher   Isaa2005 г Мягкая обложка, 160 стр ISBN 0802078184.

What do the phrases "pro-life," "intelligent design," and "the war on terror" have in common? Each of them is a name for something that smuggles in a highly charged political opinion Words and phrases that function in this special way go by many names Some writers call them "evaluative–descriptive terms озржч " Others talk of "terministic screens" or discuss the way debates are "framed " Author Steven Poole calls them Unspeak Unspeak represents an attempt by politicians, interest groups, and business corporations to say something without saying it, without getting into an argument and so having to justify itself At the same time, it tries to unspeak — in the sense of erasing or silencing — any possible opposing point of view by laying a claim right at the start to only one way of looking at a problem Recalling the vocabulary of George Orwell's 1984, as an Unspeak phrase becomes a widely used term of public debate, it saturates the mind with one viewpoint while simultaneously makes an opposing view ever more difficult to enunciate In this fascinating book, Poole traces modern Unspeak and reveals how the evolution of language changes the way we think.  хоро   полю   Silv   Brot2006 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0802118259.

Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization As computing networks come into being, one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing Distributed computing brings transparent access озрзм to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability The subject of distributed computing is diverse, and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system, but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible With close cooperation among these PEs, the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system, including:oinherently distributed applicationsoperformance/costoresource sharingoflexibility and extendibilityoavailability and fault toleranceoscalabilityPresenting basic concepts, problems, and possible solutions, this reference serves graduate students in distributed system design as well as computer professionals analyzing and designing distributed/open/parallel systems Chapters discuss:othe scope of distributed computing systemsogeneral distributed programming languages and a CSP-like distributed control description language (DCDL)oexpressing parallelism, interprocess communication and synchronization, and fault-tolerant designotwo approaches describing a distributed system: the time-space view and the interleaving viewomutual exclusion and related issues, including election, bidding, and self-stabilizationoprevention and detection of deadlockoreliability, safety, and securityas well as various methods of handling node, communication, Byzantine, and software faultsoefficient interprocessor communication mechanisms as well as these mechanisms without specific constraints, such as adaptiveness, deadlock-freedom, and fault-toleranceovirtual channels and virtual networksoload distribution problemsosynchronization of access to shared data while supporting a high degree of concurrency.  Низо   рома   Goin   АудиISBN 0849331781.

Ron Robin takes an intriguing look at the shifting nature of academic and public discourse in this incisive consideration of recent academic scandals--including charges of plagiarism against Stephen Ambrose, Derek Freeman's attempt to debunk Margaret Mead's research, Michael Bellesiles's alleged fabrication of an early America without озрзу weapons, Joseph Ellis's imaginary participation in major historical events of the 1960s, Napoleon Chagnon's creation and manipulation of a "Stone Age people," and accusations that Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta MenchA?'s testimony on the Maya holocaust was in part fiction Scandals and Scoundrels makes the case that, contrary to popular imagery, we're not living in particularly deviant times and there is no fundamental flaw permeating a decadent academy Instead, Robin argues, latter-day scandals are media events, tailored for the melodramatic and sensationalist formats of mass mediation In addition, the contentious and uninhibited nature of cyberdebates fosters acrimonious exposure Ron convincingly demonstrates that scandals are part of a necessary process of rule making and reinvention rather than a symptom of the bankruptcy of the scientific enterprise.  рабо   Herb   Руби   Соде2004 г Мягкая обложка, 289 стр ISBN 0520242491.

Over the last several decades, employers have increasingly replaced permanent employees with temporary workers and independent contractors to cut labor costs and enhance flexibility Although commentators have focused largely on low-wage temporary work, the use of skilled contractors has also grown exponentially, especially in high-technology озриж areas Yet almost nothing is known about contracting or about the people who do it This book seeks to break the silence Gurus, Hired Guns, and Warm Bodies tells the story of how the market for temporary professionals operates from the perspective of the contractors who do the work, the managers who employ them, the permanent employees who work beside them, and the staffing agencies who broker deals Based on a year of field work in three staffing agencies, life histories with over seventy contractors and studies of workers in some of America's best known firms, the book dismantles the myths of temporary employment and offers instead a grounded description of how contracting works Engagingly written, it goes beyond rhetoric to examine why contractors leave permanent employment, why managers hire them, and how staffing agencies operate Barley and Kunda paint a richly layered portrait of contract professionals Readers learn how contractors find jobs, how agents negotiate, and what it is like to shoulder the risks of managing one's own "employability " The authors illustrate how the reality of flexibility often differs substantially from its promise Viewing the knowledge economy in terms of organizations and markets is not enough, Barley and Kunda conclude Rather, occupational communities and networks of skilled experts are what grease the skids of the high-tech, "matrix economy" where firms become way stations in the flow of expertise.  Wink   Шенк   Mari   Яков2006 г Мягкая обложка, 352 стр ISBN 0691127956.
