Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

In this follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul Alan Norrie addresses the split between legal and ethical judgment. Shaped by history law’s formalism both eschews and requires ethics. The first essays consider legal form in its practical aspect and the ethical problems encountered (‘law’s architectonic’). The later essays look at the complex underlying relation between law and ethics (‘law’s constellation’). In Hegel’s philosophy legal and ethical judgment are brought together in a rational totality. Here the synthesis remains unachieved the dialectic systematically ‘broken’. These essays cover such issues as criminal law’s ‘general part’ homicide reform self-defence euthanasia and war guilt. They interrogate legal problems consider law’s method and its place in the social whole. The analysis of law’s historicity its formalism and its relation to ethics contributes importantly to central questions in law legal theory and criminal justice. | Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

Providing an interface between dry-bench bioinformaticians and wet-lab biologists DNA Methylation Microarrays: Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis presents the statistical methods and tools to analyze high-throughput epigenomic data in particular DNA methylation microarray data. Since these microarrays share the same underlying principles as gene expression microarrays many of the analyses in the text also apply to microarray-based gene expression and histone modification (ChIP-on-chip) studies. After introducing basic statistics the book describes wet-bench technologies that produce the data for analysis and explains how to preprocess the data to remove systematic artifacts resulting from measurement imperfections. It then explores differential methylation and genomic tiling arrays. Focusing on exploratory data analysis the next several chapters show how cluster and network analyses can link the functions and roles of unannotated DNA elements with known ones. The book concludes by surveying the open source software (R and Bioconductor) public databases and other online resources available for microarray research. Requiring only limited knowledge of statistics and programming this book helps readers gain a solid understanding of the methodological foundations of DNA microarray analysis. | DNA Methylation Microarrays Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

Verilog HDL Design Examples

Verilog HDL Design Examples

The Verilog language provides a means to model a digital system at many levels of abstraction from a logic gate to a complex digital system to a mainframe computer. The purpose of this book is to present the Verilog language together with a wide variety of examples so that the reader can gain a firm foundation in the design of the digital system using Verilog HDL. The Verilog projects include the design module the test bench module and the outputs obtained from the simulator that illustrate the complete functional operation of the design. Where applicable a detailed review of the theory of the topic is presented together with the logic design principles—including: state diagrams Karnaugh maps equations and the logic diagram. Numerous examples and homework problems are included throughout. The examples include logical operations counters of different moduli half adders full adders a carry lookahead adder array multipliers different types of Moore and Mealy machines and arithmetic logic units (ALUs). | Verilog HDL Design Examples

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization it leaves engineers asking questions such as “what are the effects of standards on my designs?” and “how can I use standardization to benefit my work?” Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing provides hands-on knowledge for incorporating standards into the entire process from design bench to factory floor. The book’s five self-contained sections consider the scope of design and manufacturing standards for the design of discrete products standards for the manufacture of discrete products standards for the use of discrete products as well as support standards. The authors survey in detail the major standards-setting organizations and outline the procedure for developing standards. They consider standards from the perspective of product equipment and end-user using this as a platform to explain the economic benefits of standardization. Case studies in every section illustrate the concepts and offer practical insight for using standards in CAD/CAM selection of components process planning human/machine interaction and computer interfacing. With its modular approach and practical wisdom based on the authors’ years of broad experience Standards for Engineering Design and Manufacturing supplies the tools to incorporate standards into every stage of design and manufacturing.

Epilepsy Mechanisms Models and Translational Perspectives

Epilepsy Mechanisms Models and Translational Perspectives

Epilepsy has afflicted humankind throughout recorded history; yet it is only in the last half-century that significant progress has been made in our basic understanding of the epileptic brain. Pivotal advances in drug development and surgical techniques as well as the emergence of innovative approaches such as electrical stimulation of the nervous system have led to a substantial reduction in the morbidity and mortality of patients with epilepsy. At the same time remarkable developments in neuroscience have enhanced our understanding of brain structure and function. Epilepsy: Mechanisms Models and Translational Perspectives incorporates new translational advances that bring epilepsy therapies from the laboratory bench to the bedside and back again. It brings together the work of more than 70 of the field’s most respected and cutting-edge researchers and clinicians. In 24 chapters this extraordinarily comprehensive and current work:Offers an overview of the basic anatomic and functional substrates of seizure genesis and considers novel pathogenic concepts that have both emerged and been validated experimentallyExamines antiepileptic drug therapy including the latest on molecular targets Looks at the state of surgical treatments for epilepsy and discusses advances in the fields of structural and functional neuroimaging Reviews the variety of nontraditional therapeutic options such as the ketogenic diet the vagus nerve stimulator immunomodulators neurosteroids herbs and botanicals Investigates neuroendocrine hormonal and biobehavioral factors that influence seizure susceptibility—information that can be incorporated into the design of treatment algorithms on an individualized basis Provides a glimpse of what future epilepsy therapies might look like from novel mechanisms of drug delivery to gene and stem-cell therapies for epilepsy to seizure detection meth | Epilepsy Mechanisms Models and Translational Perspectives
