Das Buch befasst sich mit sämtlichen Aspekten der tiefen Hirnstimulation. Einerseits wird medizinisches, psychologisches und technisches Hintergrundwissen verständlich vermittelt, andererseits auf alltägliche Probleme eingegangen, die auf den ersten Blick zu simpel erscheinen, um hinterfragt zu werden. Das Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an Patienten und Angehörige, aber auch an Neurologen, Psychiater, Psychologen und Angehörige anderer Gesundheitsberufe, die sich über die tiefe Hirnstimulation und deren Anwendungsgebiete informieren wollen.

This book explores contemporary arts-based research, exploring the interdisciplinary BiornaMetics project to create architecture defined by natural patterns. Biornametics interconnects scientific evidence with creative design in the field of architecture.

Important aspects of social networking analysis are covered in this work by combining experimental and theoretical research.

This book examines management of space exploration, space settlements, the role of astronauts in the future as well as related to the encounter of extraterrestrial life. It reflects on issues related to Europe's role in conducting human exploration in space.

New high-resolution crystal structures of functional ribosome complexes and cryo-EM structures of translating ribosomes are presented, while partial reactions of translation are examined in structural and mechanistic detail, featuring translocation as a most dynamic process.

"Kamasutra, Penisbruch, Scheidenkrampf", das sind typische Themen über die Jugendliche sprechen und die sie bewegen.
