    Description / Table of Contents: Es gibt wenige Vogelgruppen, die den Betrachter so beeindrucken wie die flugunfähigen, unter extremen Bedingungen lebenden Pinguine. Wo immer sie in Zoologischen Gärten gezeigt werden, sind sie vor allem durch ihren so menschenähnlichen aufrechten Gang ein Anziehungspunkt. Dieser Faszination stand aber bisher wenig genaues Wissen über das soziale Verhalten und die ökologischen Anpassungen entgegen. Die wenige Literatur war weit verstreut und auch dem Fachmann nur schwer zugänglich. Die intensive Erforschung der Antarktis und auch der Subantarktis in den letzten 15 Jahren brachte wesentlich neue Erkenntnisse über die Pinguine und das gesamte Ökosystem, dem sie angehören. Auf mehreren Expeditionen in verschiedene Gegenden der Antarktis untersuchten die Verfasser vornehmlich Adéliepinguine, aber auch Esels-, Zügel- und Kaiserpinguine. Im Vordergrund ihrer Forschung standen Beobachtungen und Feldversuche über die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Pinguinen und ihren Raubfeinden (Skuas und Seeleoparden). Hier geben sie eine Zusammenfassung unseres heutigen Wissens über das Leben der Pinguine, darin eingeflochten die Betrachtung der ökologischen Bedingungen, unter denen Pinguine leben. Bei der Beschreibung der Verhaltensweisen wird besonders deutlich, wie sich diese als Anpassungen an die Umweltbedingungen herausgebildet haben.

    Description / Table of Contents: The book provides a systematic introduction into the fundamental ideas of thermodynamics at a somewhat advanced level. And it exhibits many applications of the theory in the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science. The universal equations of balance are strictly separated from the constitutive equations which characterize the behavior of material bodies, mostly gases, vapors, and liquids. Some selected solids like rubber, gels and shape memory alloys are considered as well.

    Abstract: This book gives an overall analysis of the current knowledge status about structures, functions, utilization for German Baltic coast ecosystems. The main focus of this book is on the aquatic area, but land/sea interactions as well as river outfalls are included as well. Characteristic for this book is the inclusion of social science aspects. Approximately one third of its extent will be about the ecosystem services. In this segment the results of the last 6 years are presented in which a comprehensive quantification of the social relevance of ecosystems was carried out covering the entire area of the German Baltic Sea. This part builds directly on the results of scientific investigations and are in relation to social ideals. The assessment will not only be economically and ethically but also the mechanisms that are used for the valorisation of the ecosystem services will be evaluated. Both sub-areas, the classic natural science part as well as the part of social science aspects, deal with the changes caused by increasing anthropogenic influence and social (including demographic) changes. This will be among others in the sense of an exemplary historical outline. The final chapter of the synthesis therefore not only presents a summary of the level of knowledge gained and a deduction of the research needs. It further contains a presentation of the application aspects resulting from the analysis of the social relevance gained from basic scientific research. The book is aimed at scientists (and students) of natural, life and social sciences, analysing functioning and structures of coastal ecosystems with regard to sustainable use and nature protection, including aspects of coastal protection. Besides, it is thought to become a reference for all levels of decision makers and stakeholders in coastal and marine management of the Baltic and North Sea region, providing also a blueprint for system analysis respecting for societal as well as biological aspects world-wide.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Inorganic Polyphosphate and F0F1-ATP Synthase of Mammalian Mitochondria -- Chapter 2. Inorganic Polyphosphate in Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism and Pathology -- Chapter 3. Inorganic Polyphosphate, Mitochondria, and Neurodegeneration -- Chapter 4. Polyphosphate in Chronic Wound Healing: Restoration of Impaired Metabolic Energy State -- Chapter 5. Biomimetic Polyphosphate Materials: Towards Application in Regenerative Medicine -- Chapter 6. Effects of Polyphosphate on Leukocyte Function -- Chapter 7. Polyphosphate in Antiviral Protection: A Polyanionic Inorganic Polymer in the Fight Against Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
    Abstract: This volume focuses on the biomedical aspects of inorganic polyphosphates, a family of unique bio-inorganic polymers. In recent years, great advances have been made in understanding the development, metabolism, and physiological role of inorganic polyphosphates. These energy-rich polymers, which consist of long chains of phosphate units, are evolutionary old molecules. The acidocalcisomes, conserved organelles from bacteria to humans, as well as the mitochondria play a central role in polyphosphate production and storage. Polyphosphates have been assigned multiple functions, some of which are closely related to medically important processes, such as blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, energy metabolism, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, chaperon function, microvascularization, stress response, neurodegeneration and aging. The development of bioinspired polyphosphate particles, in combination with suitable hydrogel-forming polymers enabled the development of new strategies in regenerative medicine, in particular for hard and soft tissue repair, but also in drug delivery and antimicrobial defense. This book not only highlights the basic research in this area, but also discusses possible applications. Therefore, it appeals to scientists working in cell biology, biochemistry, and biomedicine and practicioners alike.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Perspectives on Hydro-Social Relations in Urban Mountain Contexts. Chapter 3. Research Design -- Chapter 4. Socio-Environmental Context of Urban Waterscapes in Leh -- Chapter 5. Urbanisation and the Impact on Water Use in Leh -- Chapter 6. Discussion: The Uneven Waterscape of Leh -- Chapter 7. Conclusion.
    Abstract: The city of Leh is located in the high mountain desert of Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas and access to water has always been limited there. In recent years, the town has experienced high rates of urbanisation on the one hand, and tourist numbers have increased exponentially on the other, which has implications for the water supply of the people living there. Through several years of on-site research, challenges on various levels were documented and current governance approaches were analysed. This research forms the basis for future approaches to sustainable development.

    Abstract: Our time is characterized by an explosive growth in the use of ever more complicated and sophisticated (computer) models. These models rely on dynamical systems theory for the interpretation of their results and on probability theory for the quantification of their uncertainties. A conscientious and intelligent use of these models requires that both these theories are properly understood. This book is to provide such understanding. It gives a unifying treatment of dynamical systems theory and probability theory. It covers the basic concepts and statements of these theories, their interrelations, and their applications to scientific reasoning and physics. The book stresses the underlying concepts and mathematical structures but is written in a simple and illuminating manner without sacrificing too much mathematical rigor. The book is aimed at students, post-docs, and researchers in the applied sciences who aspire to better understand the conceptual and mathematical underpinnings of the models that they use. Despite the peculiarities of any applied science, dynamics and probability are the common and indispensable tools in any modeling effort. The book is self-contained, with many technical aspects covered in appendices, but does require some basic knowledge in analysis, linear algebra, and physics. Peter Müller, now a professor emeritus at the University of Hawaii, has worked extensively on ocean and climate models and the foundations of complex system theories.

    Abstract: The human brainstem has long been a neglected area in clinical medicine. This is shown by the fact that there is no introductory book on the neuroanatomy and pathology of this region. This book is intended to introduce the reader to the neuroanatomy of the human brainstem and combines an atlas with detailed information on the individual structures. The atlas features a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging series, histological specimens (Darrow Red and Campbell staining) and a plastinate-based topographical part, which allows direct comparison of histological and topographical findings with neuroimaging. In addition, the reader is guided along the brainstem neuromer model through the human brainstem and learns about the functional properties of the individual structures of the brainstem. Where appropriate, peripheral targets of brainstem structures are illustrated and explained. Furthermore, each chapter covers the most important neurological disorders affecting the brainstem. This book aims to demonstrate that sound anatomical knowledge is required to understand brainstem pathology. It will particularly help those new to the field to better understand the complex anatomy of the human brainstem and will be useful to basic and clinical neuroscientists alike.
