This book presents a thorough and critical review of current
knowledge on the role of immunology in major psychiatric disorders
and its potential applications. The opening chapters offer general
information on the immune influence of the brain to provide readers
with a better understanding of the end of immune privilege. The
book then examines possible underlying mechanisms leading to
psychiatric disorders, from early infections to pro-inflammatory
markers, stress, and immune genetic background, linking etiology
and psychiatry. The third section describes each disorder (ie
autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression...) with an
overview of underlying immune dysfunctions. Lastly, the authors
discuss the innovative immune-therapies that may result from the
discovery of immune system biomarkers and their associated
mechanisms. A better understanding of the role of the immune system
in psychiatric disorders makes it possible to identify
stratification biomarkers, to explain underlying mechanisms, and to
develop innovative, efficient, targeted treatment strategies and
management. As such, the book is of value to clinicians, mental
health professionals, mental health researchers, immunologists,
industry practitioners, and various stakeholders in the mental
health field.
An International Conference on the Application of Fracture
Mechanics to Ma terials and Structures was held at the Hotel
Kolpinghaus in Freiburg, West Ger many, June 20-24, 1983. It was
attended by more than 250 participants from different countries
which include Austria, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Democratic Republic
of Germany, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France,
Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway,
People's Republic of China, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, United
Kingdom, United States of America, USSR and Yugoslavia. Conference
Co-Chairmen were Professor G. C. Sih, Lehigh University, Bethle
hem, Pennsylvania, U. S. A. , Dr. E. Sommer, Fraunhofer-Institut
fur Werkstoff mechanik, Freiburg, FRG and Professor W. Dahl,
Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule, Aachen, FRG. Dr.
Wenrich, as the representative of the Land Baden-WUrttemberg,
delivered the opening address with the remarks that International
Conferences can serve the means to further enhance the technology
development of a country. He empha sized that the Federal Republic
of Germany is presently in need of strengthening the engineering
manpower in order to keep her in a competitive position. The
Conference was officially cast off with the leading plenary
lectures that under lined the theme of the technical lectures for
the first day. This pattern was observed for the five-day meeting.
The interplay between material and design re quirements was the
theme and emphasized in many of the technical presentations that
amounted to approximately ninety (90) papers.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of PET and
SPECT in the classic psychiatric disorders such as depression,
bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia. In
addition, it discusses the application of these functional
neuroimaging techniques in a variety of other conditions, including
sleep disorders, eating disorders, autism, and chronic fatigue
syndrome. The new edition has been extensively revised and updated
to reflect the latest advances and results in nuclear imaging
within the field. Most chapters are written jointly by a clinical
psychiatrist and a nuclear medicine expert to ensure a
multidisciplinary approach. This state of the art compendium will
be of value for all who have an interest in the field of
neuroscience, from psychiatrists and radiologists/nuclear medicine
specialists to interested general practitioners and cognitive
psychologists. Companion volumes on the use of PET and SPECT in
neurology and for the imaging of neurobiological systems complete a
trilogy.
Sicherheit und Verfugbarkeit sind unabdingbare Eigenschaften
moderner technischer Anlagen und Konstruktionen. Konzepte fur ihre
Bewertung mussen den - aus Grunden des Fortschritts, der
Wirtschaftlichkeit und der Umweltpolitik - standig steigenden
Anforderungen gewachsen sein. Die vor I iegende Arbeit ver- sucht,
zur Weiterentwicklung derartiger Bewertungskonzepte beizutragen.
Ein Konzept, das die mechanische Sicherheit von Bauteilen gewahr-
leisten soll, hat ublicherweise den vollstandigen Ausschluss eines
Versagens zum Ziel. Die Bewertbarkeit von Versagensvorgangen ist
hierfur eine notwendige Voraussetzung. Die Schwierigkeit bei der
Aufstellung von Bewertungskonzepten besteht darin, den Versagens-
prozess charakterisierende Beanspruchungsgroessen und -kriterien zu
finden. Erst die Konzepte der Bruchmechanik genugen diesem An-
spruch: die Versagensausloesung wird auf ein Zusammenwirken
oertlicher Beanspruchungsbedingungen und Werkstoffeigenschaften in
der Umgebung von Fehlerstellen zuruckgefuhrt. Fehlerstellen, denen
in der Technik eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt, sind
Oberflachenfehler, weil Oberflachen von Bauteilen und Komponenten
herstellungs-, fertigungs- und einsatzbedingt den meisten Schadein-
flussen ausgesetzt sind. Die Methoden der Bruchmechanik haben in
den vergangenen Jahr- zehnten fur die quantitative Beschreibung von
Versagensvorgangen eine Reihe neuer Zugange und Moeglichkeiten
eroeffnet. Ihre Loesungs- ansatze fussen auf den -
kontinuumsmechanisch fur einen Bruchprozess relevanten -
Parametern, weisen aber wegen der Vielzahl moeglicher
Einflussgroessen einen hohen Abstraktionsgrad auf. Deshalb zeichnen
sich die erzielten Ergebnisse durch eine hohe Aussagescharfe -
allerdings nur in eng begrenzten Gultigkeitsbereichen - aus.
Discusses the objects and channels of attack in psychological
warfare. Analyses Hitler's methods during World War II of
undermining enemy morale and the ability to resist through four
general media: spoken, written, pictorial and material. Concludes
that in the future there must be trained specialists for
psychological warfare, as well as training for psychological
warfare the same as any other weapon of war.
