Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In September 2000, at the Centre de Recerca Matematica in Barcelona, we pre sented a 30-hour Advanced Course on Algebraic Quantum Groups. After the course, we expanded and smoothed out the material presented in the lectures and inte grated it with the background material that we had prepared for the participants; this volume is the result. As our title implies, our aim in the course and in this text is to treat selected algebraic aspects of the subject of quantum groups. Sev eral of the words in the previous sentence call for some elaboration. First, we mean to convey several points by the term 'algebraic' - that we are concerned with algebraic objects, the quantized analogues of 'classical' algebraic objects (in contrast, for example, to quantized versions of continuous function algebras on compact groups); that we are interested in algebraic aspects of the structure of these objects and their representations (in contrast, for example, to applications to other areas of mathematics); and that our tools will be drawn primarily from noncommutative algebra, representation theory, and algebraic geometry. Second, the term 'quantum groups' itself. This label is attached to a large and rapidly diversifying field of mathematics and mathematical physics, originally launched by developments around 1980 in theoretical physics and statistical me chanics. It is a field driven much more by examples than by axioms, and so resists attempts at concise description (but see Chapter 1. 1 and the references therein).Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 364 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hour will lost. Alfred Tennyson Locksley Hall Sixty YeO!, After Numerous advances in the life sciences have necessitated the need to develop gentle, quick and economical methods for separation of proteins/enzymes. Affmity-based separations, with their high selectivity, have thus come to be used more frequently. In the beginning, we just had atrmity chromatography. Today we have several strategies that employ atrmity interactions for separa tion and analysis. This book is an attempt to provide a short introduction and illustrative protocols for some important and current affinity-based approaches inthe area ofdownstream processingofenzymes/proteins. Today, people from a variety of disciplines have to purify proteins. It is hoped that this book will provide some quick insight into the various available options and guide even a novice (in the area ofprotein separation) to obtain his/her target protein at the level of purity that he/she desires. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A quick description of the conjecture The Baum-Connes conjecture is part of Alain Connes'tantalizing 'noncommuta tive geometry' programme [18]. It is in some sense the most 'commutative' part of this programme, since it bridges with classical geometry and topology. Let r be a countable group. The Baum-Connes conjecture identifies two objects associated with r, one analytical and one geometrical/topological. The right-hand side of the conjecture, or analytical side, involves the K theory of the reduced C\*-algebra c;r, which is the C\*-algebra generated by r in 2 its left regular representation on the Hilbert space C(r). The K-theory used here, Ki(C;r) for i = 0, 1, is the usual topological K-theory for Banach algebras, as described e.g. in [85]. The left-hand side of the conjecture, or geometrical/topological side RKf(Er) (i=O,I), is the r-equivariant K-homology with r-compact supports of the classifying space Er for proper actions of r. If r is torsion-free, this is the same as the K-homology (with compact supports) of the classifying space Br (or K(r,l) Eilenberg-Mac Lane space). This can be defined purely homotopically. 120 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The amount of information that can be obtained by using moleculartechniques in evolution, systematics and ecology has increasedexponentially over the last ten years. The need for more rapid andefficient methods of data acquisition and analysis is growingaccordingly.This manual presents some of the most important techniques for dataacquisition developed over the last years. The choice and justificationof data analysis techniques is also an important and critical aspect ofmodern phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis and so a considerable partof this volume addresses this important subject. The book is mainlywritten for students and researchers from evolutionary biology in searchfor methods to acquire data, but also from molecular biology who mightbe looking for information on how data are analyzed in an evolutionarycontext.To aid the user, information on web-located sites is included whereverpossible. Approaches that will push the amount of information whichsystematics will gather in the 424 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Numerous improvements in our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain states have come from the development of animal models, most of which involve partial peripheral nerve injury. The animal models have shown that nerve injury initiates a cascade of events resulting in altered neurochemistry and molecular biology of the peripheral neurons, the dorsal root ganglion cell, and changes in neurotransmitter and receptor expression in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Moreover, nerve injury produces anatomical changes with functional consequences. This volume summarises the current understanding of the pathophysiological processes in the peripheral and central nervous system that contribute to the neuropathic pain. It provides a timely review of neuropathic pain mechanisms, written by experts in the field. 260 pp. Englisch.
