Auf... Verlag | 07-2011 | ISBN: 3841202446 3841222447 3746627133 | PDF | 462 pages | 4.1 MB | german

Carmine Delmoncio hat als Mordermittler einen eher ruhigen Job. Bis in einem Institut in einem Kälteraum, in dem eigentlich die Kadaver von Versuchstieren gelagert werden, Teile einer schwarzen Frauenleiche auftauchen. Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass ein beinahe genialer Serienmörder am Werk sein muss, der schon häufiger gemordet hat. Delmonico bleibt nicht viel Zeit, denn politische Kräfte wollen die Morde nutzen, um Unruhen zu schüren. Die Polizei ermittle nicht richtig, weil die Opfer farbig seien, so der Vorwurf. Zum Glück bekommt Delmonico unerwartet Hilfe – von Desdemona, der attraktiven Geschäftsführerin des Instituts. Doch plötzlich gerät auch sie ins Visier des Täters. Ein herausragender Thriller von Colleen McCullough, der Autorin des Weltbestsellers „Die Dornenvögel“.

Bruce MacBain - Roman Games (A Plinius Secundus Mystery)


Bruce MacBain - Roman Games (A Plinius Secundus Mystery) Summary:
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press | ISBN: 1590587774 | 2010 | EPUB/PDF | 261 pages | 1 Mb/2 Mb

Rome: September, 96 AD. When the body of Sextus Verpa, a notorious senatorial informer and libertine, is found stabbed to death in his bedroom, his slaves are suspected.
Pliny is ordered by the emperor Domitian to investigate. However, the Ludi Romani, the Roman Games, have just begun and for the next fifteen days the law courts are in recess. If Pliny can't identify the murderer in that time, Verpa's entire slave household will be burned alive in the arena.
Pliny, a very respectable young senator and lawyer, teams up with Martial, a starving author of bawdy verses and denizen of the Roman demimonde. Pooling their respective talents, they unravel a plot that involves Jewish and Christian 'atheists,' exotic Egyptian cultists, and a missing horoscope that forecasts the emperor's death.
Their investigation leads them into the heart of the palace, where no one is safe from the paranoid emperor. As the deadline approaches, Pliny struggles with the painful dilemma of a good man who is forced to serve a brutal regime - a situation familiar in our own age as well.
The novel provides an intimate glimpse into the palaces and tenements, bedrooms and brothels of imperial Rome's most opulent and decadent age.

Intracranial Pressure and Brain Monitoring XII (Acta Neurochirurgica Supplementum) (v. 12) by Wai S. Poon


Intracranial Pressure and Brain Monitoring XII (Acta Neurochirurgica Supplementum) (v. 12) by Wai S. Poon Summary:
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (April 4, 2006) | ISBN: 3211243364 | Pages: 484 | PDF | 11.29 MB

88 short papers originating from the 12th International Symposium on Intracranial Pressure and Brain Monitoring held in August 2004 in Hong Kong present experimental as well as clinical research data on invasive and non-invasive intracranial pressure and brain biochemistry monitoring. The papers have undergone a peer-reviewing and are organized in nine sections: ICP management in head injury, neurochemical monitoring, intracranial hypertension, neuroimaging, hydrocephalus, clinical trails, experimental studies, brain compliance and biophysics.

Growth and Maturation of Brain (Progress in Brain Research) by D. P. Purpura


Growth and Maturation of Brain (Progress in Brain Research) by D. P. Purpura Summary:
Publisher: Elsevier (1964) | ASIN: B0000CM3QR | Pages: 289 | PDF | 17.09 MB

Two factors have contributed to the renaissance of interest in the developing nervous system in the past decade: (1) the application of new operational methods in neurocytology, neurochemistry and neurophysiology to studies of the immature brain; and (2) the growing recognition of the value of ontogenesis as an analytical tool in neurobiological research. The expansion of investigative work in the phylogenesis and ontogenesis of the nervous system has brought into sharp focus the inevitable problem of establishing effective channels of communication within and across various disciplines. Considerable progress in this direction was made at a symposium sponsored by the Netherlands Central Institute for Brain Research.

The Practice of Chinese Medicine: The Treatment of Diseases with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs by Giovanni Maciocia


The Practice of Chinese Medicine: The Treatment of Diseases with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs by Giovanni Maciocia Summary:
Publisher: Churchill Livingstone; 1 edition (January 31, 1994) | ISBN: 0443043051 | Pages: 924 | PDF | 6.4 MB

This book is intended to be the companion volume to the "Foundations of Chinese Medicine", setting out the application of the theory of Chinese medicine to the treatment of specific diseases with both acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The discussion is centred around the old Chinese disease-symptoms, e.g. "headache", "dizziness", "abdominal pain", etc. Although these are normally referred to as "diseases" in Chinese medicine, they are symptoms rather than diseases in a Western medical sense. In a few cases, however, I do discuss actual diseases as defined in Western medicine; these are asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nephritis, myalgic encephalomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, the common cold and influenza. This textbook sets out the treatment for 34 common diseases. With four exceptions - asthma, allergic rhinitis, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and multiple sclerosis - all appear in textbooks of Chinese medicine. The theory of allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis presented in this book is entirely new; of course, it is far from perfect and will need constant revision according to clinical experience and research. The theory of ME, similarly new, is based on my own clinical experience, although the concepts of "residual pathogenic factor" and "Latent Heat" on which it is based are very old.

Open Quantum Systems I: The Hamiltonian Approach


Open Quantum Systems I: The Hamiltonian Approach Summary:
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 3540309918 | edition 2006 | PDF | 334 pages | 3 mb

Understanding dissipative dynamics of open quantum systems remains a challenge in mathematical physics. This problem is relevant in various areas of fundamental and applied physics. From a mathematical point of view, it involves a large body of knowledge. Significant progress in the understanding of such systems has been made during the last decade. These books present in a self-contained way the mathematical theories involved in the modeling of such phenomena. They describe physically relevant models, develop their mathematical analysis and derive their physical implications. 
In Volume I the Hamiltonian description of quantum open systems is discussed. This includes an introduction to quantum statistical mechanics and its operator algebraic formulation, modular theory, spectral analysis and their applications to quantum dynamical systems.
Volume II is dedicated to the Markovian formalism of classical and quantum open systems. A complete exposition of noise theory, Markov processes and stochastic differential equations, both in the classical and the quantum context, is provided. These mathematical tools are put into perspective with physical motivations and applications.
Volume III is devoted to recent developments and applications. The topics discussed include the non-equilibrium properties of open quantum systems, the Fermi Golden Rule and weak coupling limit, quantum irreversibility and decoherence, qualitative behaviour of quantum Markov semigroups and continual quantum measurements.
