Free Download Structure for Dependability: Computer-Based Systems from an Interdisciplinary Perspective By Cliff B Jones, Brian Randell (auth.), Denis Besnard, Cristina Gacek, Cliff B. Jones (eds.)
2006 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 1846281105 | PDF | 2 MB
This book breaks new ground by presenting an interdisciplinary approach to a crucial problem – system dependability. Computer-based systems include hardware, software and people. Achieving dependability for such systems requires an interdisciplinary approach. In Structure for Dependability: Computer-Based Systems from an Interdisciplinary Perspective, computer scientists, sociologists, statisticians and psychologists bring together their latest research on the structure of dependable computer-based systems. The result is a highly readable overview of ways to achieve dependability in large computer-based systems with practical advice on designing dependable systems.Work on structure for dependability has usually come from a single discipline and has been concerned only with the computer systems. Stakeholders and system designers now agree that human and social issues cannot be separated from technical matters. The approach taken in this book demonstrates that interdisciplinarity delivers real benefits in the design and deployment of complex computer-based systems. This book is one of the outcomes of a six year Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration. Topics covered include fault tolerance, system evolution, determining software specifications, HCI, architecture, certification, dependability arguments, organisations, diagrams, time and procedures.System developers, stakeholders, decision makers, policymakers and researchers will find this book a unique resource which highlights the core issues for all those involved in improving dependability in complex computer-based environments.

Free Download Victoria A. Fekete, "Ammonia: Structure, Biosynthesis and Functions "
English | ISBN: 162100502X | 2012 | 137 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Ammonia is a natural and common nitrous agent affecting all vital processes in animal, plant and bacterial cells. In organisms, it is produced by about two hundred enzyme reactions, thus being an essential and harmless metabolite. At high concentrations, ammonia becomes a strong toxin. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the structure, biosynthesis and functions of ammonia. Topics include the biochemical studies on energy metabolism in animals in acute ammonia intoxication; development of distributed fibre optic sensors of ammonia gas; inhibition of rRNA synthesis by amines and ammonium ions in xenopus embryos; amino acids that play roles in plant adaptation to abiotic stress and the atmospheric concentration of NH3, NO2, HNO3 and SO2 by the passive method compared with corresponding emission inventory.

Free Download Ramiro E. Goncalves, "Natural Products: Structure, Bioactivity and Applications "
English | ISBN: 1620817284 | 2012 | 219 pages | PDF | 14 MB
A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organism – found in nature that usually has a pharmacological or biological activity for use in pharmaceutical drug discovery and drug design. A natural product can be considered as such even if it can be prepared by total synthesis. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the structure, bioactivity and applications of natural products. Topics discussed include the in-vitro assessment of chromones and alkaloids from Caribbean plants as potential anti-tuberculars and chemopreventors; natural products as inhibitors of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like protein-proteasome pathways; the biological activities of red propolis; nanoencapsulation of natural products; and natural products as a source of potential drugs for the treatment of fungal infections.

Free Download Victoria A. Consuelas, "Actin: Structure, Functions and Disease "
English | ISBN: 1621001911 | 2012 | 296 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Actin is a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells and plays a central role in cell morphology, cell adhesions, cell contractility and motility, signal transduction, transcription and its regulation, cytokinesis and synapse formation, as well as malfunctioning of actin which can lead to various diseases. This book presents topical research in the study of the structure, functions and diseases related to actin. Topics discussed include actin dynamics and remodelling of cell-cell junctions in epithelial morphogenesis; osmotic pressure and the polymeric forms of actin; the molecular mechanisms of actin regulatory proteins and actin cytoskeleton alterations.

Free Download G. S. Hall, "SYMMETRIES AND CURVATURE STRUCTURE IN GENERAL RELATIVITY "
English | ISBN: 9810210515 | 2004 | 440 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Hall (U. of Aberdeen) compiles the theoretical aspects of the literature on symmetries in general relativity that have been produced over the past few decades. He is not offering a textbook, he warns, but a study of certain aspects of four-dimensional Lorentzian differential geometry emphasizing the special requirements of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. His main goal is to present a mathematical approach to symmetries and to the related topic of the connection and curvature structure of space-time, without paying much attention to attendant problems that worry mathematicians more than physicists.

Free Download Structure Determination by X-Ray Crystallography By M. F. C. Ladd, R. A. Palmer (auth.)
1995 | 502 Pages | ISBN: 1461579414 | PDF | 12 MB
X-ray crystallography provides us with the most accurate picture we can get of atomic and molecular structures in crystals. It provides a hard bedrock of structural results in chemistry and in mineralogy. In biology, where the structures are not fully crystalline, it can still provide valuable results and, indeed, the impact here has been revolutionary. It is still an immense field for young workers, and no doubt will provide yet more striking develop ments of a major character. It does, however, require a wide range of intellectual application, and a considerable ability in many fields. This book will provide much help. It is a very straightforward and thorough guide to every aspect of the subject. The authors are experienced both as research workers themselves and as teachers of standing, and this is shown in their clarity of exposition. There are plenty of iliustrations and worked examples to aid the student to obtain a real grasp of the subject.

Free Download Structure and Properties of Aperiodic Materials By H. Tanaka, T. Fujiwara (auth.), Professor Yoshiyuki Kawazoe, Professor Yoshio Waseda (eds.)
2003 | 207 Pages | ISBN: 3642056725 | PDF | 6 MB
The past few decades have witnessed remarkable growth and progress in our knowledge concerning the structure and properties of aperiodic systems at a microscopic level. The present volume provides a timely overview of the current state of the art on the structure, electronic and magnetic properties of aperiodic materials, including structural inhomogeniety. It also describes the theoretical calculation methodology. The subject is approached both from the basic science and the applied engineering points of view. Many references, illustrations and tables assist specialists and non-specialists alike to gain access to the growing body of essential information.
