Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It is now something of a truism to say that natural toxins form a major compo nent of the molecular tools used increasingly frequently by the ever growing number of laboratories of various kinds. Evidence for this is provided not only by the increasing number of firms including such toxins in their catalogues but also by the large number of demands received by those who discover new tox ins. This book is designed to facilitate the work of scientists interested in explor ing a new domain of toxicology or in using toxins as tools for research. The length of this book has been kept reasonable by concentrating on animal tox ins, most of which are polypeptides. The venom of each animal contains a large number of toxins, which may be similar in terms of their physical and chemical properties and are therefore difficult to purify. However, their pharmacological activities may be very differ ent. These toxins are extremely active, and it is therefore necessary to demon strate conclusively that the activity observed really does correspond to the newly characterized molecule.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 380 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The present book is the second of the two volume Proceedings of the Mark Krein International Conference on Operator Theory and Applications. This conference, which was dedicated to the 90th Anniversary of the prominent mathematician Mark Krein, was held in Odessa, Ukraine from 18-22 August, 1997. The conference focused on the main ideas, methods, results, and achievements of M. G. Krein. This second volume is devoted to operator theory and related topics. It opens with the bibliography of M. G. Krein and a number of survey papers about his work. The main part of the book consists of original research papers presenting the state of the art in operator theory and its applications. The first volume of these proceedings, entitled Differential Operators and related Topics, concerns the other aspects of the conference. The two volumes will be of interest to a wide-range of readership in pure and applied mathematics, physics and engineering sciences.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A wealth of information has accumulated over the last few years on thehuman genome. The new insights have completely changed the focus ofprotein analysis. It is no longer time-consuming analysis of unknownproducts, but rather selective identifications of individual formsmodifications and processings, and overall analysis of global proteinoutputs from cells and tissues in health and disease.This book gears to the rising need of sensitive, accurate, and fastseparation and identification techniques in proteomics. It discussescurrent methodologies of modern protein analysis, from isolation andsample preparation, over analysis and identification, to finalcharacterization. Several evaluations concentrate on the now productiveapproaches of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometrybut alternative methods and further perspectives are also outlined. Thebook includes an overlook over current databases to connect proteinanalysis data with all available information,.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 256 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -During the past decade model predictive control (MPC), also referred to as receding horizon control or moving horizon control, has become the preferred control strategy for quite a number of industrial processes. There have been many significant advances in this area over the past years, one of the most important ones being its extension to nonlinear systems. This book gives an up-to-date assessment of the current state of the art in the new field of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). The main topic areas that appear to be of central importance for NMPC are covered, namely receding horizon control theory, modeling for NMPC, computational aspects of on-line optimization and application issues. The book consists of selected papers presented at the International Symposium on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control ¿ Assessment and Future Directions, which took place from June 3 to 5, 1998, in Ascona, Switzerland.The book is geared towards researchers and practitioners in the area of control engineering and control theory. It is also suited for postgraduate students as the book contains several overview articles that give a tutorial introduction into the various aspects of nonlinear model predictive control, including systems theory, computations, modeling and applications.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 492 pp. Englisch.
