Fluorescence is a very powerful tool for work at the frontier of
cell biology, photobiology and bioinstrumentation. The stated aim
of the workshop was to highlight the significance of fluorescence
work for the understanding of cell and tissue physiology,
physiopathology and pharmacology, particulary in terms of the
analytical use of fluorescent probes in oncology. In the
organization of the workshop a multidisciplinary approach was
selected. The purpose of the Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) was
to bring together researchers in the various disciplines of tissue
optics, imaging, microspectrofluorometry and state of the art
probes, in order to explore the full benefits that can be derived
in biomedicine through the convergence of these approaches. When
applied to in vivo and in situ studies, fluorescence and related
optical methods enable us to explore within tissues, cells and
organelles photon effects previously understood only in solution
photochemistry. Processes which can be studied at the molecular
level by photophysics, photochemistry and physical chemistry can be
evaluated in living tissue by fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging
at the intracellular level in terms of structure and function.
Thus, fluorescence adds a new dimension to cell biology and
physiology. This approach is now supported by a full and versatile,
rapidly growing armamentarium of new selective probes for
organelles, enzymes, cations, cytoskeleton and metabolic control.

Photobiology integrates a wide variety of scientific disciplines.
As more people become aware of the many ways light interacts with
chemical and biological systems, the need for a concise treatment
of photobiology has become more critical. Kohen "et al." Have
written just such a book, intended both as a textbook and as a
reference.
The authors begin by providing a brief description of the nature of
light, how it affects matter, and the means and methods of
measuring it. A major section of the book is devoted to how light
influences living systems, including discussions of photosynthesis,
bioluminescence, regulatory mechanisms, and visual transduction of
light. The last half of the book is devoted to the biomedical
aspects of light, including photoimmunology, photoallergic
reactions and other forms of light sensitivity, the optical
properties of skin, and various ways that light can be used in
therapy treatments.
Useful to photobiologists as a comprehensive overview, this book
should also appeal to biomedical researchers and advanced students
of photobiology.
This unique book is the first Ladino dictionary for English
speakers! Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish or Judezmo, was the
language spoken by the Sephardic Jews who settled in the Ottoman
Empire after their expulsion from Spain in the 15th century.
Definitions include word origins, the cultural context of
expressions, and usage, making the book an invaluable reference
tool for anyone interested in Romance and Oriental languages and/or
Jewish culture.
This unique book is structured by country, from prehistoric to
present times. An effort has been made to revive the soul and
ambience of different environments as it evolved over the
centuries. The style is intentionally folksy, to reproduce the
special sense of humor, puns or poetry of different countries.

The History of the Byzantine Jews explores the Jewish microcosmos
in Byzantium. Under the Romans, Jews enjoyed the privileges of
knighthood and nobility. Although these luxuries were significantly
diminished under Theodosius II- whose wife, Eudoxia, was a
judaizing Empress- and the Codex Justinianus, they remained a
powerful entity in Byzantium. In comparison to the irredentist
Samaritans and Paulicians, the Jews remained areligio licita
(permitted religion) that tolerated and even protected by Imperial
and Church authority. Their position in society even enabled the
Jews to vie for increased power. The Byzantine Jews tried to play
the game of power politics through their affiliation with Yemen's
Jewish Himyarites, and ill-fated alliance with the Persian
Sassanides, and finally through the colossal power of the Jewish
Khazar Empire. In this living history of the Byzantine Jews, Author
Elli Kohen attempts to revive the spirit of Moses of Crete,
Procopius, Eusebius, Theophanes Continuatus, and medieval
chroniclers such as Liutbrand, Villehardouin, and Benjamin of
Tudela. Intended as a complementary text to other classics on
Byzantine Jews, this new work emphasizes multicultural cooperation
in the study of this time period. Some of the events and
individuals profiled in The History of the Byzantine Jews include:
-Byzantine and Jewish polemists- the "Hagiographic Bibliotheca"
-Historiography of a Jewish family in Byzantine Apulia -The
Jerusalem Karaites finding a safe haven in Byzantium -The rerouting
of the fourth Crusade through the Juiverie of Constantinople -The
return of the Paleologues -Byzantine-Jewish coexistence under
Symeon, Archbishop of Salonica

This book presents aliving history of the Turkish Jews. Despite
numerous historical studies of this time period and its people,
includingFarewell to Salonica by Leon Sciaky, the works of the
Bulgarian Sephardic author Canetti, History of the Israelites of
Salonica by Joseph Nehama, Salonica by Mark Mazower, and the works
of Abraham Galante, there are few livinghistories. InHistory of the
Turkish Jews and Sephardim author Elli Kohen attempts to combine
the patience of the chronicler with the folksy humor of the
storyteller, without undermining the presentation of the Sephardic
Jews cultural history. It is a book of love for all the cultures
that have come to coexist on the shores of the Bosphorus. This
comprehensive work explores the early Ottomon period, the Sephardi
period, and concludes on the eve of the Sabbastian upheaval. Unique
in tone and purpose, History of the Turkish Jews and Sephardim
explores the cultural synthesis resulting from the interaction of
the various elements co-existing near the shores of the Bosphorus.
In style and breadth, this new work complements the existing
literature on this historical period. Below are some of the events
and stories chronicled in the History of the Turkish Jew and
Sephardim: - The mysterious sect of Judaizing Chiones
Containing 100 black and white original photomicrographs accompanied by protocol information, this book shows organelles' structures, interaction, and organization into complexes. It includes a color insert that illustrates some of the most characteristic organelle features, microcompartmentalization, and alterations as investigated by one or more probes simultaneously. Each section provides a brief introduction and technical details of staining methods and gives explanations of unusual appearances and the cytochemical reactions when necessary. The book serves as a guide for therapeutic, diagnostic, or prognostic interpretation of images and for further research.
