Book Description

New technological innovations create an almost unlimited array of domains in which drugs can act with increasing precision and less side-effects. Novel tools give concise insights into gene, membrane and protein interactions leading to the development of specific 'tailor-made' drugs. New Approaches to Drug Development reviews latest discoveries in drug research and highlights some of the many therapeutic possibilities whose growing applications can only be estimated in part. This profound and extensive documentation of novel findings and outlooks in drug development and delivery systems contains contributions of leading scientists in the fields of genetics and molecular biology, pharmacology, genetic engineering and psychiatry. Many of their evaluations are not just restricted to specific diseases, but encompass infections, coronary syndromes and syndromes associated with dysfunctions on the genetical, cellular, physiological and metabolic level in general...

Book Description

This book serves as a text for one- or two-semester courses for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students and as a professional reference for people who want to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) using finite element methods. The author has attempted to introduce every concept in the simplest possible setting and maintain a level of treatment that is as rigorous as possible without being unnecessarily abstract. Quite a lot of attention is given to discontinuous finite elements, characteristic finite elements, and to the applications in fluid and solid mechanics including applications to porous media flow, and applications to semiconductor modeling. An extensive set of exercises and references in each chapter are provided.

Very good book for Finite Element Methods.......2005-09-20

The book show your basic idea in Chapter 1, and then put a lot of energy on how to use this method in real world. You can easily apply to your own major with very small change.

Book Description

"An elegant read for anyone interested in understanding modern physics. Tavel has a genuine knack for making the difficult and obscure clear and exciting." --Joseph C. Pitt, author of Thinking about Technology "You will never look at scientific theories in the same way again." --John Hubiscz, North Carolina State University Introductory physics is not often a popular class among liberal arts majors. With its lively prose and analogies from the arts, humanities, and social sciences, however, Contemporary Physics and the Limits of Knowledge is guaranteed to enlighten and delight nonscience majors. Morton Tavel contends that every one of the six topics that he explores--symmetry, special and general relativity, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and chaos--has played a role in telling us what we are unable to know about the physical world. He explains what each of the topics reveals about our attempts to pinpoint reality, and how each scientific revelation forces us to acknowledge a narrowing rather than a broadening of our knowledge. Chaos theory, for example, reveals a way to understand the randomness that seems so prevalent in natural phenomena such as weather. This development unifies our understanding of many phenomena that had been previously thought unrelated. Yet, chaos represents a significant diminution in what we can hope to predict about the course of natural events. It has increased our knowledge or understanding of a phenomena, but has seriously eroded our long-held, Newtonian vision of prediction and control. Tavel emphasizes the features of physics that make it a very human endeavor and serve to build bridges to all other intellectual disciplicnes. Morton Tavel is a professor of physics at Vassar College.

The Right Thing In Mind.......2004-02-17

Oddly enough, after reading 100 pages or so of a book entitled "Preface to Chaucer," I found myself deeply and spiritually moved. I'm trying to come to terms with that . . .

Robertson argues that Chaucer intended his works as particularly subtle allegories, realistic not because they create convincingly-individual characters but because they accurately depict the way abstract virtues, vices, and attributes would be enfleshed in the people of his day. Avaricious extortion would look like the Summoner; an inconstant vocation would resemble the Monk. Chaucer's characterizations are not psychological (Robertson describes psychological analysis as post-Christian) but moral. Chaucer also tells stories not for drama's sake but for the sake of ideas and conceptual reality. He requested from his audience the same kind of exegetical sophistication that Romanesque and Gothic art and the Bible demanded.

Other strengths of the book: a thorough analysis of how medieval thought in hierarchies differs from modern dialectical thought (medieval conflicts of any kind--physical or ideological--always involve a higher and a lower party), and explanation of Chaucer's humor.

Our artistic tastes have changed a great deal since then; this is why Robertson argues from the eleventh century forward in his analysis, not from the twentieth century backward. He identifies many errors scholars of his day compile in their efforts to enjoy Chaucer filtered through post-Romantic sensibilities. I can testify that said errors have only increased in the interim between Robertson's book and the present day. If Robertson's contention is true, and if authorial intent matters, most of the current "Case Study in Contemporary Criticism" from Bedford Press on the Wife of Bath (for instance) is useless. I thought I knew "the Wife of Bath" fairly well until I read Robertson. Feminist, psychoanalytic (this in particular), new historicist, Marxist, and deconstructionist criticism simply do not apply in the medieval paradigm, since Chaucer's purposes do not align with theirs.

The silliness Robertson diagnoses in contemporary interpretations of Chaucer is symptomatic of the change in artistic sensibility. The medieval paradigm believed the Divine impinges upon all things. Medievals could not stop at mere contemplation of the beautiful if they cared about their souls. They had to move consciously and exegetically forward to contemplate the Source of beauty. A worldview founded on God and a worldview founded on humanity have difficulty speaking to each other.
