This detailed volume explores molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), which have attracted great interest both in fundamental research and for practical applications due to their selective molecular recognition capabilities, extraordinary stability, and ease of preparation. Beginning with key laboratory protocols describing the different steps towards the synthesis of MIPs by different polymerization strategies, the volume continues by examining MIP use in sample preparation, their implementation on the development of sensors, as well as applications in other areas such catalysis and the use of bioinformatics and molecular modeling for MIPs design. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to the respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Molecularly Imprinted Polymers: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers seeking to harness this very powerful approach for the preparation of molecular selective synthetic polymers.

Advances in epilepsy in recent decades have allowed for improved algorithms for diagnosis and a common understanding of terminology with the development of the International Classifications of Seizures and the Epilepsies. Nevertheless, no common system exists for the estimation of epilepsy severity or its impact on quality of life. Therefore, epileptologists lack the ability to make quantitative assessments of individual patients for comparison of care or for meta-analyses in clinical trials. This book on the Quantitative Assessment of Epilepsy Care approaches this omission by addressing the potential application of clinimetrics within the framework of epilepsy treatment. Clinimetrics is a fast growing discipline concerned with the quantification of clinical symptoms with respect to decision making relating to diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. These methods allow for the development and validation of clinical scoring systems. For example, the Glasgow Coma Scale is widely used. As a chronic disorder, epilepsy would benefit from clinimetric methodology to create uniformity and to allow for comparisons among evaluations. In addition, epileptologists have not yet developed assessments of health related quality of life to define the overall condition of the chronic epilepsy patient and various therapeutic endpoints. While clini metric tools are essential for research, they will also be useful in clinical practice for the care of individual patients by documenting status and changes over time. This treatise will provide critical analyses of whether existing rating scales and techniques are valid to use, and which types of scales and techniques require further development.

Tauberian operators were introduced to investigate a problem in summability theory from an abstract point of view. Since that introduction, they have made a deep impact on the isomorphic theory of Banach spaces. In fact, these operators have been useful in several contexts of Banach space theory that have no apparent or obvious connections. For instance, they appear in the famous factorization of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pelczynski [49] (henceforth the DFJP factorization), in the study of exact sequences of Banach spaces [174], in the solution of certain summability problems of tauberian type [63, 115], in the problem of the equivalence between the Krein-Milman property and the Radon-Nikodym property [151], in certain sequels of James' characterization of reflexive Banach spaces [135], in the construction of hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces [13], in the extension of the principle of local reflexivity to operators [27], in the study of certain Calkin algebras associated with the weakly compact operators [16], etc. Since the results concerning tauberian operators appear scattered throughout the literature, in this book we give a unified presentation of their properties and their main applications in functional analysis. We also describe some questions about tauberian operators that remain open. This book has six chapters and an appendix. In Chapter 1 we show how the concept of tauberian operator was introduced in the study of a classical problem in summability theory - the characterization of conservative matrices that sum no bounded divergent sequences - by means of functional analysis techniques. One of those solutions is due to Crawford [45], who considered the second conjugate of the operator associated with one of those matrices.

NO LO SABEMOS PORQUE LA GRAN MAYORIA DE LAS PERSONAS NUNCA SE HAN ENAMORADO COMO SE ENAMORAN LOS PERSONAJES DE LAS PELICULAS, COMO SE ENAMORAN LOS PERSONAJES DE UNA PROMESA. ESTA HISTORIA SE DESENVUELVE EN DOS CONTINENTES, EN DOS CLASES SOCIALES DIFERENTES, EN DOS SERES A QUIENES EL DESTINO UNIO EN UNA MALA PASADA. CONOZCA LA HISTORIA Y ENAMORESE DE UNA CIUDAD QUE A PESAR DE LAS REVOLUCIONES Y LAS GUILLOTINAS, NO HA PERDIDO SU ENCANTO. UNA CIUDAD QUE AUN ES SIMBOLO DE LA PUREZA Y EN LA QUE DOS DESTINOS CHOCARAN DE FRENTE SIN IMPORTAR LAS CONSECUENCIAS. QUIEN GANA? QUIEN PIERDE?

This book presents a new Mixed Integer Programming model for the 2-Dimensional Cutting and Packing problems involving irregular shapes. This model is used in order to develope a exact algorithm, a Branch and Cut algorithm, which is able to solve instances up to 16 pieces to optimality. On the other hand, there is proposed a Matheuristic algorithm which produce competitive results on problems with up to 99 pieces. Finally, we have developed a constructive procedure which produce the best known results in the 2-Dimensional Irregular Bin Packing problems with Guillotine Cuts.
