Lozi Mappings: Theory and Applications
ISBN: 9781466580701 / Angielski / Twarda / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a comprehensive collection of known results about the Lozi map, a piecewise-affine version of the Henon map. Henon map is one of the most studied examples in dynamical systems and it attracts a lot of attention from researchers, however it is difficult to analyze analytically. Simpler structure of the Lozi map makes it more suitable for such analysis. The book is not only a good introduction to the Lozi map and its generalizations, it also summarizes of important concepts in dynamical systems theory such as hyperbolicity, SRB measures, attractor types, and more.

The general characteristics of neuropeptides are discussed as a background for the understanding of their role in regulation of physiological systems. The extent of those systems that are crucially affected by neuropeptides is vast and the complexity of their interactions makes the clinical focus on a specific neu- ropeptide unsatisfactory. The clinical potential of neuropeptides affecting eating disorders, eNS behavioral disorders and the neuroregenerative and neuroprotective action of neuropeptides is discussed. It is probable that suc- cessful neuropeptide therapeutics will depend upon the...
