The induction of antigen-specific immune responses after in vivo
transfection with expression plasmids has triggered a revolution of
vaccine research. After a first hype, evoked by the fascinating
options of this method, clinical studies did not reach the
ambitious aims and a phase of disillusion ensued. It became obvious
that Gene vaccines displayed a weaker immunogenicity in humans than
had been observed in the mouse models. Meanwhile these hurdles have
been overcome and gene vaccines undergo a renaissance. The present
book gives an update of the "world of naked gene vaccines", namely
DNA and RNA vaccines. Its content ranges from general mechanisms,
inherent immunostimulatory properties and the vast potential to
modulate immune responses, to recent successful clinical studies
and approved veterinary gene vaccines. Beyond the state-of-the-art
of genetic immunization, the reader will be stimulated with a
chapter addressing "burning questions".

"Weiss Cracks," how it began: Upon moving to Palm Springs in the
summer of 2012, standup comedian Richard Weiss hooked up with the
talents of wacky artist Bart E. Slyp. The two immediately hit it
off and launched their hilarious comic strip, "Weiss Cracks," which
was picked up and published by the "CV WEEKLY" newspaper, where it
received rave reviews from residents of the Coachella Valley in
California.
"It was Bart's idea to include me in many of the strips," said
Richard, "something I had not initially thought of... but it turned
out to be brilliant. I could now take my standup act, incorporated
with real life situations, and depict them to the masses without
even getting on stage. Bartabulous and I are like Elton John and
Bernie Taupin, the sum is greater than its parts."
As you gaze through the pages of Richard and Bart's first book
release, you'll enter a world where anything and everything goes.
As one reader exclaimed after reading Weiss Cracks, "It's pure
comic genius." Enjoy reading.
About the Author
Richard Weiss is described by one observer as a performer who is
pure heart and soul. "His body language on stage is so grounded and
positive. All feeling. No ego."
Weiss, a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict from New York
City, came to Riverside, California to attend a rehab facility as a
result of a family intervention. In 2006, shortly after his first
year clean and sober, Richard began writing comedy and recently did
the "Standup to Addiction" show, where he toured the country to
sold-out shows.
Grateful to be clean and sober, Weiss feels blessed that he can
share his experiences with others in a humorous vein. When asked
his view on doing recovery comedy, he responded, "Laughter is a
great healer. I want them to have what I've found. As they say,
'You can't keep it, unless you give it away.'"
Der vorliegende Band Baubetriebslehre wurde in kollegialer
Zusammenarbeit der Auto- ren Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Winfried Brecheler,
Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Jurgen Friedrich, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfons Hilmer und
Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Richard Weiss erstellt. Der besondere Dank der
Auto- ren gilt Herrn Dipl.-Ing. Ewald-J. Weichenmeier von der
Tiefbau-Berufsgenossenschaft fur die Bearbeitung des Kapitels
Sicherheitstechnik. Der Band Baubetriebslehre gliedert sich ein in
eine dreibandige Reihe, die unter den Oberbegriffen
Projektmanagement und Baubetrieb steht. Die Zielsetzung dieser
Reihe ist es, durch eine intensive Zusammenarbeit der beteiligten
Autoren, dem Leser einen durchgangigen UEberblick uber die
Vorgehens- und Arbeitsweisen aller am Bauwerk und am Baugeschehen
Beteiligten zu ermoeglichen. Die Inhalte wurden dementsprechend
vorwiegend anwenderorientiert gestaltet und sind insbesondere fur
Studierende an Fach- hochschulen als studienbegleitende Grundlage
gedacht. Wir hoffen aber, dass auch Fach- leute aus dem Bereich des
Bauingenieurwesens und der Architektur hier wesentliche
Informationen und Anregungen finden, die sie in ihrer beruflichen
Arbeit unterstutzen. Die Zielsetzung eines moeglichst
weitgreifenden UEberblicks bringt es naturgemass mit sich, dass in
manchen Bereichen auf die im Einzelfall wunschenswerte
Ausfuhrlichkeit oder die Vollstandigkeit, zum Beispiel bei der
Darstellung der Bauverfahren, verzichtet werden musste, um den
Gesamtrahmen nicht zu uberfordern. In diesen Fallen haben wir uns
bemuht, entsprechende Hinweise zu geben und die grundlegenden
Verfahren und Arbeitsweisen so darzustellen, dass dem Leser die
Bearbeitung weiterfuhrender Problem- stellungen erleichtert wird.
Wir danken allen Mitarbeitern des Verlages fur die hervorragende
Zusammenarbeit. Unser besonderer Dank gilt den Autoren der weiteren
Bande der Reihe fur ihre kollegiale Unterstutzung.
