A rapidly growing field, vibrational spectroscopy has found applications in industries including pharmaceutical manufacture, food and drug safety, and process monitoring on production lines. In particular, interest in clinical spectroscopy is rising rapidly as researchers recognize the potential of the vibrational spectroscopic techniques Infrared (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy as noninvasive tissue diagnosis tools. However, the details of the characteristic peak frequencies and their relationship to specific functional groups present in the biological tissues have not been fully...

Dieses Werk hilft angehenden Ingenieuren im Grundstudium, sich den oft schwer verstandlichen Stoff der Thermodynamik anzueignen und Lucken zu schlieen, die in den Vorlesungen aus Zeitmangel gelassen wurden. Neben einer prazisen mathematisch-physikalischen Darstellung der Grundlagen nehmen Beispiele aus der Praxis groen Raum ein. Insbesondere die fur die Technik wichtigen Prozesse der Energiewandlung durch Motoren, Turbinen, Dusen, aber auch durch Kaltemaschinen werden detailliert behandelt.

These historical narratives of scientific behavior reveal the often irrational way scientists arrive at and assess their theories. There are stories of Einstein s stubbornness leading him to reject a correct interpretation of an experiment and miss an important deduction from his own theory, and Newton missing the important deduction from one of his most celebrated discoveries. This enlightening book clearly demonstrates that the greatest minds throughout history arrived at their famous scientific theories in very unorganized ways and they often did not fully grasp the significance and...

In addition to its central role in blood coagulation, it has become increasingly apparent that thrombin and thrombin receptors are involved in many other physiological processes and can contribute to a variety of disease states such as tumor progression and metastasis, inflammation, neurological disorders and cardiovascular complications. This book is a collection of reviews of up-to-date information on the above topics by leaders in these fields.

This book will be of value to researchers and academic professionals both in basic and clinical science who are interested in the fields...
