Overview: Structural stability is of fundamental importance inmaterials science. Up-to-date information on the theoreticalaspects of phase stability of materials is contained in thisvolume. Most of the first-principles calculations are basedon the local-density approximation (LDA). In contrast, thisvolume contains very recent results of "going beyond LDA",such as the density gradient expansion and the quantumMonte-Carlomethod.Following the recently introduced theoretical methods forthe calculation of interatomic potentials, forces acting onatoms and total energies such as the Car-Parrinello, t

Overview: Examines the paradoxical relation between nationalism and internationalism in interwar Turkey.Offers new insights into the rise of American progressive education in the non-Western world after World W.This book examines international education in Turkey after World War I. In this period,?a movement for peace and international education among American educators emerged. This effort, however, had to be reconciled with the nationalist projects of new nation-states emerging from the war. In the case of the Near East that meant coming to terms with the radically nationalist modernization

Overview: For decades retroviruses have been riding the crest of a wave of experimental research directed toward the identification of an infectious agent of human neoplastic diseases. In the early 1970s, several scientists successfully demonstrated the presence of retroviruses in numerous animal species and proved their etiological role in some related diseases. Corresponding findings in humans were somewhat discouraging. Although financial support for this line· of research declined, a few dedicated retrovirologists survived and continued to collect more biological information and technologi

Overview: The development of immunisation has been one of the most striking features in the control of infectious disease in the twentieth century. This book takes into account the need for a simple, concise account of immunisation procedures not only in the UK and USA but also in other countries, and to this end a special chapter on immunisation in developing countries has been included. Following two introductory chapters, there are nine chapters on various diseases and the vaccines that have been developed to combat them. In each of these chapters, a short discussion of the epidemiology of

Overview: From the dynamic concept of information to the information conservation theorem.Understanding information through the information conservation law.Information in a social context.An objective, dynamic and physically justified concept of information is elaborated starting from Shannon‘s concept of entropy and applied to information technology, artificial intelligence (consciousness) and thermodynamics. The justification of an information conservation theorem acquires practical significance in information technology, especially as it moves into the quantum realm (photonics/quantum comp

Overview: Some chapters will serve as tutorials as they will feature step-by-step nanocarrier preparation and function.A new section on nanocarrier assembly via computing will provide a vehicle for future direc.This volume is a continuation of Volume 1 following the previously published Editorial. More emphasis is given to novel nanocarrier designs, their characterization and function, and applications for drug discovery and treatment. A number of chapters will deal with nanofibers as a new major application within the biomedical field with a very high success rate particularly in wound healin

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anf?ngen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-90138-6978-3-642-91995-4
