This reference spotlights the immunologic aspects of applying
interferon-gamma to the treatment of infectious diseases -
revealing the current knowledge of the biology and potential
utility of interferon-gamma.;Written by more than 30 leading
investigators in the field, Anti-Infective Applications of
Interferon-Gamma: presents information according to specific
patient populations and pathogens; focuses on only the most
promising of emerging therapeutic agents; furnishes a detailed
update of the pleiotropic role of interferon-gamma in host defense;
and studies clinical and preclinical experiences in a broad variety
of disease indications.;Containing over 900 bibliographic citations
for further research, this book should be useful for infectious
disease specialists, pharmacologists, immunologists, surgeons,
pediatricians, parasitologists, hematologists, virologists,
microbiologists, pathologists, oncologists and tropical medicine
specialists.
Follows centuries of New York activism to reveal the city as a
globally influential machine for social change Activist New York
surveys New York City's long history of social activism from the
1650's to the 2010's. Bringing these passionate histories alive,
Activist New York is a visual exploration of these movements,
serving as a companion book to the highly-praised Museum of the
City of New York exhibition of the same name. New York's primacy as
a metropolis of commerce, finance, industry, media, and ethnic
diversity has given it a unique and powerfully influential role in
the history of American and global activism. Steven H. Jaffe
explores how New York's evolving identities as an incubator and
battleground for activists have made it a "machine for change." In
responding to the city as a site of slavery, immigrant entry, labor
conflicts, and wealth disparity, New Yorkers have repeatedly
challenged the status quo. Activist New York brings to life the
characters who make up these vibrant histories, including David
Ruggles, an African American shopkeeper who helped enslaved
fugitives on the city's Underground Railroad during the 1830s;
Clara Lemlich, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who helped spark the
1909 "Uprising of 20,000" that forever changed labor relations in
the city's booming garment industry; and Craig Rodwell, Karla Jay,
and others who forged a Gay Liberation movement both before and
after the Stonewall Riot of June 1969. The city's inhabitants have
been at the forefront of social change on issues ranging from
religious tolerance and minority civil rights to sexual orientation
and economic justice. Across 16 lavishly illustrated chronological
chapters focusing on specific historical episodes, Jaffe explores
how New York and New Yorkers have changed the way Americans think,
feel, and act.
Symmetry arguments are a powerful tool in teaching such concepts as hybridization, group and molecular orbitals, selection rules in absorption spectroscopy, crystal structure, and other subjects. This book, devoted exclusively to symmetry in chemistry and developed in an essentially nonmathematical way, is a must for students and researchers. Its topics include symmetry elements and operations, multiple symmetry operations, multiplication tables and point groups, group theory applications, and crystal symmetry. Three appendices provide complete character tables, tables of the number of normal vibrations in various symmetry species, and tables showing the direct sums of exited states and combination states of degenerate vibrations. 1977 edition.
In recent years cosmologists have advanced from largely qualitative
models of the Universe to precision modelling using Bayesian
methods, in order to determine the properties of the Universe to
high accuracy. This timely book is the only comprehensive
introduction to the use of Bayesian methods in cosmological
studies, and is an essential reference for graduate students and
researchers in cosmology, astrophysics and applied statistics. The
first part of the book focuses on methodology, setting the basic
foundations and giving a detailed description of techniques. It
covers topics including the estimation of parameters, Bayesian
model comparison, and separation of signals. The second part
explores a diverse range of applications, from the detection of
astronomical sources (including through gravitational waves), to
cosmic microwave background analysis and the quantification and
classification of galaxy properties. Contributions from 24 highly
regarded cosmologists and statisticians make this an authoritative
guide to the subject.
