Offers experts and advanced students with a review of the status of the evolved theory of U-statistics.

This comprehensive reference/text explains the development and principles of operation, modelling, and analysis of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)-highlighting conversion efficiency, size, and steady state/transient regulation characteristics. develop specific models of circuits and components for simulation and design purposes; explains both the computer simulation of the switching behaviours of dc-to-dc converters and the modelling of linear and nonlinear circuit components; deals with the modelling and simulation of the low-frequency behaviours of converters (including current-controlled...

Containing examples and practical strategies, this book explains how use of the Gestalt model of self and relationship can clarify the dynamics of shame. This model shows how shame issues become pivotal in therapeutic relationships and how healing shame is the key to transformational change.

Volume 4 of Biomembranes covers endocytosis, exocytosis and related processes. A major role of the plasma membrane is as a permeability barrier, keeping the inside of the cell inside and the outside, outside. Mechanisms must then exist to allow movement of material between the cell and its environment. One mechanism for export from the cell is by exocytosis, a process in which the membranes of secretory vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane releasing the contents of the vesicle into the extracellular medium. The process has been studied in particular depth for the release of...

Volume 6 of Biomembranes covers transmembrane receptors and channels. A particularly important role for the membrane is that of passing messages between a cell and its environment. Part I of this volume covers receptors for hormones and growth factors. Here, as in so many other areas of cell biology, the application of the methods of molecular biology have led to the recognition of a number of families of receptors. Typically, such receptors contain an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular catalytic domain whose activation, as a result of ligand...

In these volumes, the most significant of the collected papers of the Chinese-American theoretical physicist Tsung-Dao Lee are printed. A complete list of his published papers, in order of publication, appears in the Bibliography of T.D. Lee. The papers have been arranged into ten categories, in most cases according to the subject matter. At the beginning of each of the first eight categories of papers, there is a commentary on the content and significance of all of the papers in the category. The two short final categories do not have any commentaries. The editor would like to thank Dr....

This book has something for everyone. There are poems of birth, poems of first loves, long loves, and short lived lusts. I have poems of life and its many ups and downs. Poems of happy times and sad, but most of all, i feel that the poems in this book read like a picture. I do believe that there is at least one poem in this book for each and everyone of you out there.
