Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume contains the proceedings of the third in a series of biennial NEC Symposia on Fundamental Approaches to New Material Phases sponsored by the NEC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan. The symposium was held from October 7 to 11, 1990, at the Hakone Kanko H9tel in Hakone. About 40 invited participants stayed together, became involved in intense discussions, and freely exchanged ideas both in and out of the conference room, which faced Mt. Fuji, the beautiful lake Ashinoko, and the quiet landscape in the old crater. The title of this volume, Ordering at Surfaces and Interfaces, which was also the title of the third symposium, describes the aim of the symposium: to discuss ordering properties and their underlying mechanisms at surfaces and interfaces. The topics treated include the reconstruction of surfaces of semiconductors and metals, atomic and magnetic ordering at interfaces, theoretical tools to study or dering mechanisms at surfaces and interfaces, ordering in adsorbate-surface sys tems, such as alkali-adsorbed silicon surfaces, electric current effects on semicon ductor surfaces and many related STM (scanning tunneling microscopy) results.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume is the proceedings of the Tsukuba Institute '87 on Fermi Surface Effects, which was held August 27-29, 1987, at Tsukuba Science City in Japan. The topic of the Institute, Fermi surface effects, is one of the fascinating subjects of solid-state physics. It has been known since Sommerfeld's work that the conduction electrons of metals constitute a degenerate Fermi system, and it has also been recognized that the occu pation number of the electron states has a discontinuity across the Fermi surface. Several basic properties of metal electrons stem from this fact. Furthermore, it gives rise to a singular response of the metal electrons to local and dynamical perturbations of low frequency. Such singular behav ior of the metal electrons is called a Fermi surface effect. In his opening address, printed as the Foreword, Professor R. Kubo described Fermi sur face effects as due to 'wild' behavior of the metal electrons. The Institute co~sisted of five invited lectures, each of which was two hours long and dealt with theoretical aspects of a subject related to Fermi surface effects. Each lecturer is an expert in the field, and gave an in tensive treatment of his own subject. The experiment of inviting only very few lecturers and allotting them ample time for both presentation and discussion seems to have been successful. This Institute, which was sponsored by the Japan Industrial Technology Association, will probably be followed by other institutes, forming a series.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume is the proceedings of the Seventh Taniguchi International Sympo sium on the Theory of Condensed Matter. The symposium was held for five days from September 10 to 14, 1984 at Kashikojima, Mie, Japan. Dynamical proces ses and ordering on solid surfaces are the subjects of the symposium. About twenty participants stayed together at Shima Kanko Hotel, the symposium site, during the period. The intense and productive discussion in the bright sea s ide atmosphere of Kashi koj ima is bel i eved to have been impress i ve to all the participants. Dynamical processes on solid surfaces are the target of recent theoreti cal efforts in surface physics. Even if some of them are still in their in fant stage, important aspects begin to appear and vital concepts start to shape themselves. Some topics in the symposium were the energy transfer re lated with internal degrees of freedom of molecules, attempts to go beyond the trajectory approximati on, charge transfer and energy transfer between particles and solid surfaces, and related fundamental problems like adiaba tic potentials and electronic structures. In particular, really actively di scussed was the time-dependent Newns-Anderson model wi thout and wi th the intraatomic Coulomb interaction and sometimes with the interaction to the surface plasmons or phonons. Surface effects on the optical processes were discussed with great interest, such as the ABC-related problems of exciton polaritons and rare gas adsorbates on metal surfaces.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Autophagy is a fundamental biological process that enables cells to autodigest their own cytosol during starvation and other forms of stress. It has a growing spectrum of acknowledged roles in immunity, aging, development, neurodegeneration, and cancer biology. An immunological role of autophagy was first recognized with the discovery of autophagy's ability to sanitize the cellular interior by killing intracellular microbes. Since then, the repertoire of autophagy's roles in immunity has been vastly expanded to include a diverse but interconnected portfolio of regulatory and effector functions. Autophagy is an effector of Th1/Th2 polarization; it fuels MHC II presentation of cytosolic (self and microbial) antigens; it shapes central tolerance; it affects B and T cell homeostasis; it acts both as an effector and a regulator of Toll-like receptor and other innate immunity receptor signaling; and it may help ward off chronic inflammatory disease in humans. With such a multitude of innate and adaptive immunity functions, the study of autophagy in immunity is one of the most rapidly growing fields of contemporary immunological research. This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of autophagy, guides a novice and the well-informed reader alike through different immunological aspects of autophagy as well as the countermeasures used by highly adapted pathogens to fight autophagy, and provides the expert with the latest, up-to-date information on the specifics of the leading edge of autophagy research in infection and immunity. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Two magnificent volumes with cultural descriptions of the peoples of 42 countries from Asia, Africa, Europe, and South and North America.   The Asian volume starts with two Chinese dynasties: Ming and Qing. It also includes Korean, Philippinos, Formosans (Taiwan), Javans, Thais, Moghuls, Armenians et al., including Moscovians. Among the peoples are the "tattan", which probably refers to "Tartary", the ancient name for the Asian part of Russia.  The Western volume includes a very interesting description of the samoyed people: "Their country is situated in the Far North of Tattan, near the river "Obi". They are  very wild and eat dry fish. The people there are very small, like dolls. They wear seal furs. The country is controlled by Moscovia." These volumes are a revised edition of the text originally written by Nishikawa Joken (1648-1724) and published in 1740. The original edition was in black and white, with very low quality engravings. The present edition is accompanied by colorful depictions of the people. The text is more accomplished and describes more tribes. Text in Japanese. Original Japanese fukuro toji wrapper. Comes with a custom-made slip case. Stains on the wrapper. Original title slips of these original volumes are damaged. The content is slightly browned.

[Japan n.d. ca. 1840's, n.p.]. Stitched blue stiff wrappers, ocean wave pattern, 17.8 x 24.5 cm., covers & edges rubbed, else contents solid, lower page corners thumbed,some rubbing but the text and plates clean, 2 vols. of 3, 18 color illu- strations: 12 double page and 2 single page color pages; 48 single pages of text. The first four pages of text in volume one are with color decorated back. The book is printed in large format, and with remarkable & superb printing, color registration and composition. The first page shows a single page with a young courtesan, with elaborate coiffeur, and a large number of hair pins. She has a slight pink flush to her face, indicating sexual excitement. * *The next is a double-page showing a couple engaged in love- making. The woman is with very long flowing straight hair & dots above her eye-brows indicating this scene was from a primitive and early classical period in Japan's history. The floor adjacent to the girl is littered with folded Chirishi paper, used to wipe the love juices. The man groups for this having reached orgasm.The surroundings are nicely furnished. * *The third shows a couple engaged in love-making, with the woman's left foot tightly pulling the man's left thigh tow- ards her. She had her arms locked around his neck. The coup- le both exhibit a pinkness around the face. The girl is a courtesan as she wears an elaborate coiffeur with many hair pins. * *The fourth shows a young couple engaged in a tongue-kiss, while making love. The young man's armour and long sword are put aside, but he still wears his foot gear, apparently in a rush to accomplish his goal. An ordinary girl, has long and flowing straight hair, she clutches him with both hands. * *The fifth shows two women, one exposes her vulva, while reaching under the Kimono of the other to grasp her vagina. A small blemish on the chin of one. * *The sixth shows a man pouring tea, with a very large erect- ion. The woman holds Chirishi in her lips, with used Chiri- shi on the floor. * *The seventh shows a man entering the woman from behind, while the couple are being observed by the inn maid, who covers her mouth with her sleeve in embarrassement. End of volume one. * Volume two begins with a double page showing a young lady & a sprig of cherry blossom with a bird perched. * *The next shows a couple engaged in love-making on the road. Their hats, walking sticks, his armour and two swords and fan abandoned, while they seek shelter under tree branches. The woman's handsome Kimono has the unusual gauffrage or blind-stamped pattern printed without any ink, giving a realistic "cloth texture" likeness, done entirely in white. A bit of dust has high-lighted these fine lines. * *The third shows a couple engaged in love-making indoors. She raises her leg high while she mounts her beloved. The furnishings are lovely ! * *The fifth shows another couple on the verandah during the flowering of the plum blossoms. A large package of Chirishi is nearby, as is some delightful food on a tray. * *The sixth shows a couple making love on a mat, the woman reaches for a sheet of Chirishi, knowing that her lover is now spent, she holds yet another sheet in her lips. From the straw hat in the background, the young lover was posing as an itinerant priest, so he would not be recognized when he visiting his lover. * *The seventh and last shows a couple engaged in love-making, the man on top while they share a tongue-to-tongue kiss. * While this and most other erotic Japanese books [Shun Pon] and prints [Shun Ga] are never signed, the title labels on volume 1 are mostly gone, and completely gone from volume 2. The book shows evidence of being well-read. The contents are for the most part clean, but with thumbing, which is NOT very invasive to the illustrations. The colors are very good done mostly with vegetal inks and a few aniline blue, red & greens used. The images are strong, clear, with excellent registry, and finely carved woodblocks and superior printing techniques employed. As usual for a book of this type and popularity, it has small areas on some prints showing the open grain of the wood block, an asset in prints, a point of appreciation. The artist was Yoshimori [1830-1884], an impo- rtant pupil of Utagawa Kuniyoshi with text by Tama Jakushi. See L. Roberts: DICTIONARY OF JAPANESE ARTISTS, p.202-3 for notes on Yoshimori. Books of this subject and nature are seldom found on the open market. The work in general is nicely done and shows true human nature of the Japanese dur- ing this time frame. Their penchant for casual sex, passion for the out-of-doors and love-making in beautiful & natural settings among the flowering blossoms is a classic spring or "Shun" theme. A charming & lovely "Shun Bon" [erotic il- lustrated book]. …
