Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I

Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I

This book is made possible by the enthusiastic contributions of the authors of the chapters. They have been invited from young and active scientists in the field of t-PA research. I am grateful for their contribution and for the fact that all accepted the specifications of their chapter in order to obtain a structured book. Inevitably some overlap does exist; on the one hand to enable controversial or unsettled areas to be discussed by the different experts with a different approach and background. It is a particular pleasure and honor that Dr. T. Astrup as an eye-witness and essential contributor to the history of t-PA discovery and research gives a unique account of the history of t-PA research in the first chapter of the book. | Tissue Type Plasminogen Activity Volume I

Method of Averaging for Differential Equations on an Infinite Interval Theory and Applications

Method of Averaging for Differential Equations on an Infinite Interval Theory and Applications

In recent years mathematicians have detailed simpler proofs of known theorems have identified new applications of the method of averaging and have obtained many new results of these applications. Encompassing these novel aspects Method of Averaging of the Infinite Interval: Theory and Applications rigorously explains the modern theory of the method of averaging and provides a solid understanding of the results obtained when applying this theory. The book starts with the less complicated theory of averaging linear differential equations (LDEs) focusing on almost periodic functions. It describes stability theory and Shtokalo's method and examines various applications including parametric resonance and the construction of asymptotics. After establishing this foundation the author goes on to explore nonlinear equations. He studies standard form systems in which the right-hand side of a system is proportional to a small parameter and proves theorems similar to Banfi's theorem. The final chapters are devoted to systems with a rapidly rotating phase. Covering an important asymptotic method of differential equations this book provides a thorough understanding of the method of averaging theory and its resulting applications. | Method of Averaging for Differential Equations on an Infinite Interval Theory and Applications

The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6

The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6

The Ring and the Book published serially in 1868–9 is one of the most daring and innovative poems in the English language. The story is based on the trial of an Italian nobleman Guido Franceschini for the murder of his wife Pompilia in Rome in 1698. Browning’s discovery of the ‘old yellow book’ a bundle of legal documents and letters relating to the trial on a second-hand market stall in Florence sparked an imaginative engagement with this sordid tale of domestic cruelty adultery and greed which grew through four years of arduous labour into an epic peopled not by gods and warriors but by concrete recognisably human beings. Fusing the technique of the dramatic monologue the form he had made his own with the grandeur of classical epic and the vivid realism of the modern novel Browning created a unique hybrid form that allowed him not only to bring to life an entire historical period but also to reflect on the process of artistic creation itself – the forging of the golden ‘ring’ of the poem from the ‘pure crude fact’ of its historical original. This edition comprising volumes 5 and 6 in the acclaimed Longman Annotated English Poets edition of Browning’s poems does full justice to the scope and depth of Browning’s achievement. The headnote in volume 5 gives an authoritative account of the poem’s composition publication sources and reception making use of hitherto unpublished letters and textual material. In addition to giving readers help where needed with historical and linguistic comprehension the notes track Browning’s formidable range of allusion from the most erudite to the most vulgar. The appendices in volume 6 present a selection from the original sources a list of variants from extant proofs and key passages from Browning’s fascinating and revealing correspondence with one of the earliest readers of the poem Julia Wedgwood. The aim is to enable readers not just to understand the poem as an object of study but to take pleasure in its abounding intellectual and emotional energies. | The Poems of Robert Browning: Volume Five The Ring and the Book Books 1-6
