  • Efficiency and Power in Energy Conversion and Storage

    Basic Physical Concepts

    by Thomas Christen ...
    This book provides fundamental theoretical concepts for the understanding, the modelling, and the optimisation of energy conversion and storage devices. The discussion is based on the general footing of efficiency-power relations and energy-power relations (Ragone plots). Efficiency and Power in Energy Conversion and Storage: Basic Physical Concepts, is written for engineers and scientists with a ... Read more

  • Two Faces of Evil: Cancer and Neurodegeneration

    Edited by Thomas Curran, Yves Christen ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Homeostasis involves a delicate interplay between generative and degenerative processes to maintain a stable internal environment. In biological systems, equilibrium is established and controlled through a series of negative feedback mechanisms driven by a range of signal transduction processes. Failures in these complex communication pathways result in instability leading to disease. Cancer ... Read more

  • Rhythms of the Brain

    by Gyorgy Buzsaki ...
    Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the co-evolution of structure and function ... Read more

  • Principles of Computational Modelling in Neuroscience

    by David Sterratt, Bruce Graham, David Willshaw, Andrew Gillies ...
    The nervous system is made up of a large number of interacting elements. To understand how such a complex system functions requires the construction and analysis of computational models at many different levels. This book provides a step-by-step account of how to model the neuron and neural circuitry to understand the nervous system at all levels, from ion channels to networks. Starting with a ... Read more

  • Oxidative Stress and Free Radical Damage in Neurology

    Edited by Natan Gadoth, Hans Hilmar Göbel ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The role of free radicals and oxidative stress in neurological disorders has only recently been recognized, leaving clinical neurologists to seek in vain for information on the subject even in major textbooks. What published information there is may consist of brief reminders of the possible association of superoxidase dismutase with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and nitrous oxide with ...

  • Dynamics of Visual Motion Processing

    Neuronal, Behavioral, and Computational Approaches

    Edited by Guillaume S. Masson, Uwe J. Ilg ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Motion processing is an essential piece of the complex brain machinery that allows us to reconstruct the 3D layout of objects in the environment, to break camouflage, to perform scene segmentation, to estimate the ego movement, and to control our action. Although motion perception and its neural basis have been a topic of intensive research and modeling the last two decades, recent experimental ... Read more

    Perceived Compliance from Multiple Sources of Information

    Edited by Massimiliano Di Luca ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    Offers a unique multidisciplinary overview of how humans interact with soft objects and how multiple sensory signals are used to perceive material properties, with an emphasis on object deformability. The authors describe a range of setups that have been employed to study and exploit sensory signals involved in interactions with compliant objects as well as techniques to simulate and modulate ...

  • Multisensory Object Perception in the Primate Brain

    Edited by Marcus Johannes Naumer, Jochen Kaiser ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    It should come as no surprise to those interested in sensory processes that its research history is among the longest and richest of the many systematic efforts to understand how our bodies function. The continuing obsession with sensory systems is as much a re?ection of the fundamental need to understand how we experience the physical world as it is to understand how we become who we are based on ...

    Biological Bases and Clinical Approach to Treatment

    Edited by S. Govoni, C.L. Bolis, M. Trabucchi ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    To a certain extent the dementias have been forgotten diseases until just recen tly when they were brought to the attention of the general public and health authorities as a result of the increasing number of cases in the aging popula tion, especially among famous people, and because of the efforts of private foundations. The goals of the present volume are to present the dementias to health prac ... Read more
