The essays in this book weave together insights and arguments from
such diverse traditions as German critical theory, French
philosophy and social theory, and recent Anglo-American moral and
political theory, offering a unique approach to the political and
theoretical consequences of the modernism/postmodernism discussion.
Through an analysis of central themes in classical Marxism and
early critical theory, the author shows how recent work in a
variety of traditions converges on the need to question familiar
distinctions between material production and culture, the public
and the private, and the political and the social, and to
reconsider the conceptions of agency and power that have informed
them.
A comprehensive overview of this genus, Artemisia examines all
aspects of the herbs uses and applications, its mode of action and
clinical importance. Following a comprehensive introduction to the
genus, the book discusses the botanical, phytochemical and
biological aspects of a number of important species of Artemisis.
Considering that the discovery of artemisinin, a highly active
antimalarial agent from the Chinese herb A. annua is of
considerable importance, this volume devotes several chapters to
the traditional uses, cultivation and phytochemistry of this
species and to the development of artemisinin-derived antimalarial
agents, their mode of action and clinical use.
This guide to celestial navigation has been popular ever since it
first appeared in 1969. Revised in 1982, Celestial Navigation is

explanation (with realistically worked problems) of the practice of
celestial navigation at sea, using simple and inexpensive
equipment. Extracts from the Nautical Almanac and Pub. No. 249, as
well as some blank workforms, are included.

This textbook describes the field of radio and television in the
United States, presents the material in a manner the reader can
grasp and enjoy, and makes the book useful for the classroom
teacher. Written for adaptation to individual teaching situations,
the book is divided by subject matter into logical chapter
divisions that can be assigned in the order appropriate for
specific course students. Each chapter stands by itself, but the
book is also an integrated whole. It is easy to understand at first
reading, by beginning radio-television majors or nonmajor elective
students alike. To give readers a complete picture of the field,
subjects such as ethics, careers, and rivals to U.S. commercial
radio and television are included.
Nanobiotechnology holds the promise of providing revolutionary
insight into aspects biology ranging from fundamental questions
such as elucidating molecular mechanisms of brain disorders to
extraordinary applications such as the detection of a single cancer
cell in a population of a million cells. The second edition of

current, detailed protocols for nanobiotechnology; imaging and
detection. With new chapters that explore nano-bio constructs and
toxicology of nanomaterials. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology (TM) series format, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Nanobiotechnology

Hands-on experts in nanomaterial synthesis and application describe
in detail the key experimental techniques currently employed in
novel materials synthesis, dynamic cellular imaging, and biological
assays. The author's emphasize diverse strategies to synthesize and
functionalize the use of nanoparticles for biological applications.
Additional chapters focus on the use of biological components
(peptides, antibodies, and DNA) to synthesize and organize
nanoparticles to be used a building block in larger assemblies.
These new materials make it possible to image cellular processes
for longer durations, leading to high throughput cellular-based
screens for drug discovery, drug delivery, and diagnostic
applications. Highlights include overview chapters on quantum dots
and DNA nanotechnology, and cutting-edge techniques in the emerging
nanobiotachnology arena.
The papers in this collection are drawn from a symposium held in
Vienna in December 2010. Organised by the Institute for European
Tort Law and the Chicago-Kent Law Review, in collaboration with the
European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law, the conference drew
together legal experts from 14 national or regional systems across
six continents. Medical malpractice and compensation for medical
injuries are issues which regularly create tension and innovation
in national legal systems but the analysis of these areas is often
limited to national audiences. This study examines the issues in a
uniquely global context, demonstrating the breadth of approaches
currently taken around the world and revealing key areas of tension
and the likely direction of future developments. Wherever possible,
the analysis is supported by reference to empirical data. The 14
legal systems covered in the collection are Austria, Brazil,
Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland,
Scandinavia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United
States. A general comparative introduction completes the
collection.

chapters on the specifics of pediatric ophthalmology (embryology,
post-natal development and the pediatric exam) will help newcomers
to pediatric practice fully grasp the subtle differences in
pediatric care. The chapters are written by leading experts in the
field and are presented in a user-friendly format, relying on
heavily illustrated color plates, clinically helpful tables,
charts, and decision-making guidelines. This approach will enable
the practitioner (whether specialist or generalist) to make the
most accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment
option.

This book is targeted to biologists with limited statistical background and to statisticians and computer scientists interested in being effective collaborators on multi-disciplinary DNA microarray projects. State-of-the-art analysis methods are presented with minimal mathematical notation and a focus on concepts. This book is unique because it is authored by statisticians at the National Cancer Institute who are actively involved in the application of microarray technology. Many laboratories are not equipped to effectively design and analyze studies that take advantage of the promise of microarrays. Many of the software packages available to biologists were developed without involvement of statisticians experienced in such studies and contain tools that may not be optimal for particular applications. This book provides a sound preparation for designing microarray studies that have clear objectives, and for selecting analysis tools and strategies that provide clear and valid answers. The book offers an in depth understanding of the design and analysis of experiments utilizing microarrays and should benefit scientists regardless of what software packages they prefer. In order to provide all readers with hands on experience in data analysis, it includes an Appendix tutorial on the use of BRB-ArrayTools and step by step analyses of several major datasets using this software which is freely available from the National Cancer Institute for non-commercial use. The authors are current or former members of the Biometric Research Branch at the National Cancer Institute. They have collaborated on major biomedical studies utilizing microarrays and in the development of statistical methodology for the design and analysis of microarray investigations. Dr. Simon, chief of the branch, is also the architect of BRB-ArrayTools.
