One of the phylogenetically oldest hormones, somatostatin is a regulatory peptide with remarkable characteristics. It is a nonclassical neurotransmitter discovered less than 20 years ago both in the central nervous system and in the gastroenteropancreatic system. It regulates the secretion of both pituitary and digestive hormones, it ensures nutrient homeostasis and it has therapeutic uses. This volume deals withall these aspects.

This volume is designed to cultivate in graduate biology students an awareness of and familiarity with applications of mathematical techniques and methods related to biology. This text explores five areas of mathematical biology, presented in a unified fashion: the first three subjects, cell growth, enzymatic reactions, and physiological tracers, are biological; the final two, biological fluid dynamics and diffusion, are biophysical. Introduced in an order of progressive mathematical complexity, the topics essentially follow a course in elementary differential equations, although linear algebra and graph theory are also touched upon. Free of mathematical jargon, the text requires only a knowledge of elementary calculus. A set of problems appears at the end of each chapter, with solutions at the end of the book. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1975. Preface. Solutions. References. Appendixes. Author Index. Subject Index.

Nach even- tueller Durchftihrung einer Partialbruchzerlegung ergeben sich, h sowie die Parameter der P-Funktion aus algebraischen Gleichungen ersten und zweiten Grades. Andere als die genannten sehr einfachen algebraischen Operationen sind zur Angabe der Eigenwerte und der in der Losung (E. 2) auftretenden gewohnlichen P-Funktionen nicht erf orderlich. 1m dritten Kapitel wird die Ermittlung der Losungen der Eigenwert- probleme (E. 1) in dem FaIle besprochen, wo pm irgend eine der, kon- fluenten Riemannschen P-Funktionen ist, die in den Losungen .

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
