This book covers several aspects of perinatal tissue-derived stem cells, from theoretical concepts to clinical applications. Topics include functions and different sources, immunomodulatory properties, translational point of view, GMP facility design and manufacturing for clinical translation, therapeutic potentials, and finally ethical considerations. The text provides a brief review of each type of perinatal stem cells and then focuses on their multi- or pluripotent properties, regenerative capacity, and future therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine. Additionally, the book discusses GMP compliance in stem cell facilities and the manufacture of stem cells for clinical translation. The chapters are authored by world-renowned experts in the perinatal stem cell field. Perinatal Tissue-Derived Stem Cells: Alternative Sources of Fetal Stem Cells, part of Springer's Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine series, is essential reading for basic and clinical scientists, clinicians, and pharmaceutical experts working or conducting research in the fields of stem cell biology, molecular aspects of stem cell research, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and cellular therapy.

This book is devoted to the study of partial differential equation problems both from the theoretical and numerical points of view. After presenting modeling aspects, it develops the theoretical analysis of partial differential equation problems for the three main classes of partial differential equations: elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic.

The main focus of this book is on the interconnection of two unorthodox scientific ideas, the varying-gravity hypothesis and the expanding-earth hypothesis.

This book provides an overview of the confluence of ideas in Turing's era and work and examines the impact of his work on mathematical logic and theoretical computer science.

Die Methode der finiten Elemente hat sich heute bei der numerischen Berechnung von Problemen der Elastizitats- und der Plastizitatstheorie mit digitalen Rechenautomaten all­ gemein durchgesetzt. Ihre Anwendbarkeit auf praktische Ingenieurprobleme hangt in erster Linie von den zur Verfli­ gung stehenden Computerprogrammen abo Das in der vorliegenden Arbeit entwickelte Programm "FEAPS" erlaubt die Berechnung von allgemein begrenzten und allgemein gestlitzten elastischen Platten mit und ohne Rippen. Das Institut flir Baustatik hofft, damit einen nlitzlichen Beitrag zur Berechnung solcher Konstruktionen geleistet zu haben. Die Arbeit wurde von Herrn G. Alberti als Doktordissertation (Referent: Prof. Dr. B. Thlirlimann, Korreferent: Dr. E. Anderheggen) verfasst. Die theoretischen Grundlagen des Verfahrens basieren zum Teil auf Arbeiten und Veroffent­ lichungen von Herrn Dr. E. Anderheggen, der auch diese Arbeit wissenschaftlich leitete. Eidgenossische Technische Prof. Dr. Bruno Thlirlimann Hochschule - Zlirich Oktober 1971 -8- 1. EINLEITUNG Die Berechnung von Verformungen und Schnittkraften von dlinnen Platten mit analytischen Methoden ist nur in Spezialfallen moglich. Flir allgemeine Plattensysteme werden Naherungsmetho­ den verwendet, die meistens auf einer Diskretisation aufgebaut sind. Die Methode der endlichen Elemente wurde flir die Berech­ nung von beliebigen zweidimensionalen, dlinnen, linear-elasti­ schen Platten und Rippenplatten verwendet. Diese wurde Ende der flinfziger Jahre mit den Pionierarbeiten von Argyris [1,30J, Clough [2,28J, Melosh [29J und Zienkiewicz [3] entwickelt.

PARP Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the role of PARP in cancer therapy. PARP plays a pivotal role in DNA repair and may contribute to the therapeutic resistance to DNA damaging agents used to treat cancer.

This book represents the first systematic attempt to analyse media and public communications published in Britain by people of African and Afro-Caribbean origin during the aftermaths of war, presenting an in-depth study of print publications for the period 1919-1924.

This volume, which is dedicated to Heinz Langer, includes biographical material and carefully selected papers. Heinz Langer has made fundamental contributions to operator theory.

This collection documents the work of the Hyperuniverse Project which is a new approach to set-theoretic truth based on justifiable principles and which leads to the resolution of many questions independent from ZFC.

The Proceedings volume contains 16 contributions to the IMPA conference "New Trends in Parameter Identification for Mathematical Models", Rio de Janeiro, Oct 30 - Nov 3, 2017, integrating the "Chemnitz Symposium on Inverse Problems on Tour".  This conference is part of the "Thematic Program on Parameter Identification in Mathematical Models" organized  at IMPA in October and November 2017. One goal is to foster the scientific collaboration between mathematicians and engineers from the Brazialian, European and Asian communities. Main topics are iterative and variational regularization methods in Hilbert and Banach spaces for the stable approximate solution of ill-posed inverse problems, novel methods for parameter identification in partial differential equations, problems of tomography ,  solution of coupled conduction-radiation problems at high temperatures, and the statistical solution of inverse problems with applications in physics.

This volume offers the most comprehensive coverage on fetal programming. Chapters are written by authors of international and national standing, leaders in the field and trendsetters. The clinical relevance of the current research is emphasized in each chapter, which also contains key points, key words, and concise summaries for ease of learning. Fetal programming affects conditions in the immediate postnatal period, as well as in later life and adulthood. These conditions include cardiovascular disease, frank hypertension, stroke, dyslipidemia, coagulopathy, increased insulin resistance-metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, leukemia, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, precocious puberty, impaired immune function, renal disease, lung disease, and osteoporosis. Neuropathologies, behavioral and mental deficiencies, schizophrenia, and depression have also been reported in adults who were exposed to nutritional inadequacies in utero. Diet, Nutrition and Fetal Programming provides an overview on the effects of fetal programming on disease, and comprehensive looks at maternal nutrition factors and fetal programming effects on brain and behavior, and physiology and disease. It also provides an in depth look at specific nutrient restrictions and supplements on physiology and disease, the effects of maternal disease on fetal programming, mechanisms of programming, and a special section on the international aspects and policies on fetal programming.
