Membrane permeability is fundamental to all cell biology and subcellular biology. The cell exists as a closed unit. Import and export depend upon a number of sophisticated mechanisms, such as active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and passive diffusion. These systems are critical for the normal ... More

Here is a complete and up-to-date compilation of data on the medical applications of particle accelerators. Waldemer Scharf has published two previous books on the subject and has an extensive knowledge of the products of U.S. accelerator companies.... More

The theory of neural nets has two new paradigms: information coding through coherent firing of the neurons and structural feedback. As compared to traditional neural nets, spiking neurons provide an extra degree of freedom: time; this degree of freedom is realized by a coherent spiking of extensivel... More

Introduction to Sports Biomechanics has been developed to introduce you to the core topics covered in the first two years of your degree. It will give you a sound grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Part One covers the anatomical and mechanical foundations of biom... More

A vast number of biochemical reactions are catalyzed by molecules fixed to the surface of membranes (or other biological structures). Although trans-membrane processes have been extensively studied for the last 30 years, the focus on interfacial processes has lagged. The study of the mechanisms at t... More
