Beta Cells in Health and Disease

Insulin is an essential protein hormone secreted by the beta cells of the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas which is involved in glucose homeostasis, cell metabolism and mitogenesis

Assyrian and Babylonian Scholarly Text Catalogues. Medicine, Magic and Divina…

The reconstruction of ancient Mesopotamian medical, ritual and omen compendia and their complex history is still characterised by many difficulties, debates and gaps due to fragmentary or unpublished evidence. This book offers the first complete edition of the Assur Medical Catalogue, an 8th or 7th century BCE list of therapeutic texts, which forms a core witness for the serialisation of medica…

Assorted Dimensional Reconfigurable Materials

This book outlines assorted dimensional materials acquired through reconfiguration of potentially applicable physical properties and functions of some multifunctional matrixes, composites, hybrids, and blends. As the frontiers of Science and Technology become widened, many multifunctional materials are created via physico-chemically reconfigured alterations to cater for remarkable applications …

Architectural Journal 1960-1975

How does one become a recognized architect? Where does the inspiration come from and how is it transformed into buildings, streets and cities? With his Architectural Journal Rob Krier takes the readers on a fascinating journey, guiding one through pivotal moments of early stages of his career as an architect. With a sense of humour, empathy and charm Krier tells a story of his professional path…

Architectural History and Globalized Knowledge Gottfried Semper in London

Gottfried Semper’s years in exile in London (1850–1855) were a time of highly inspirational experiences. The London of the first World Expo offered the German architect an immense trove of objects for study and an intellectual surrounding that provided seminal impulses for his innovative cultural-history-based theory of architecture. That revolutionary period found not only politics and soc…

Architectural Design Decision Documentation through Reuse of Design Patterns

Software design patterns are evaluated and recognised architectural solutions for recurring design problems. They are often described in pattern catalogues that contain known patterns for a certain application domain, for example, patterns for object-oriented software by Gamma et al. or patterns for distributed computing by Buschmann et al.. However, design patterns are still often misunder…

Bestrafte Innovation?

Autonomous cyber-physical systems will foreseeably find their way into the reality of our lives. Will criminal law have to react when innovative, autonomous technologies cause bodily injury or homicide? To answer this question, Maximilian Münster examines the standards of criminal product liability that apply in Germany and then evaluates their application to the marketing of autonomous cyber-…

Architectural Design Decision Documentation through Reuse of Design Patterns

The ADMD3 approach presented in this book enchances the architectural design documentation of decision via reuse of design patterns. It combines the support for evaluation of pattern application, semi-automated documentation of decision rationale and trace links. The approach is based on a new kind of design pattern catalogue, whereby usual pattern descriptions are captured together with questi…

Architectural Data Flow Analysis for Detecting Violations of Confidentiality …

Software vendors must consider confidentiality especially while creating software architectures because decisions made here are hard to change later. Our approach represents and analyzes data flows in software architectures. Systems specify data flows and confidentiality requirements specify limitations of data flows. Software architects use detected violations of these limitations to improve t…
