Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -During the past decade research into the pharmacology of cognition, particularly regarding learning and memory, has supported the concept that many potential neural targets exist for the development of cognitive-enhancing drugs. Whereas the main impetus for this research has been the ever growing population of individuals with dementing disorders such as Alzheimer`s disease, attention is also being focused on issues relating to cognitive impairment associated with 'normal' aging. This book is useful as a source of information for making informed decisions regarding the relative utility and attributes of the various neural targets that have been studied to date.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 220 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Current biological research demands the extensive use of sophisticatedmathematical methods and computer-aided analysis of experiments anddata. This highly interdisciplinary volume focuses on structuraldynamical and functional aspects of cellular systems and presentscorresponding experiments and mathematical models.The book may serve as an introduction for biologists, mathematicians andphysicists to key questions in cellular systems which can be studiedwith mathematical models. Recent model approaches are presented withapplications in cellular metabolism, intra- and intercellular signalingcellular mechanics, network dynamics and pattern formation. In additionapplied issues such as tumor cell growth, dynamics of the immune systemand biotechnology are included.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 480 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ranges amongst the commonest diseases in the world. The relentless progression of the disease causes a pressing need for a better understanding of and therapies for COPD. This volume provides state-of-the-art information on the pathophysiology of COPD including an outlook on new therapies. It is of interest to researchers and clinicians in academia as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 248 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This revised and extended second edition of 'Identification of tropical woody plants' is a concise representation of vegetative characters of woody taxa. It presents a unique identification system, permitting recognition of plant families in all seasons by means of morphological and macroanatomical features which are easily observable, permanent, and which provide a great deal of taxonomic information.The identification system has been designed in the form of a dichotomous key, which is illustrated with figures of woody plants showing their architecture and the morphological characters of barks, branches and leaves. The book has been revised according to the latest molecular biological findings in taxonomy. Additional families are included, as well as representative examples on color plates. A new key for the main groups of euphorbiacean genera has been included.This field guide will be an essential companion to botanists and ecologists.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 344 pp. Englisch.
