Since the discovery of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) more than 15 years ago, there has been an unpredicted explosion of both basic scientific discoveries and clinical reports on their use from institutions all over the world. The potent effica­ cy of BMPs in almost all crucial developmental events as well as during regenera­ tion of various organs such as bone, kidney, brain, liver, heart etc. , has positioned BMPs at the center of sc...

The monograph demonstrates the widespread existence of differences in life span by month of birth in the elderly populations of contemporary societies. It provides evidence that the pattern is linked to the seasons of the year, by comparing the Northern and the Southern Hemisphere. It formulates and tests a series of explanations for the month-of-birth effect and rejects many of the most frequently offered explanations. In particular, it rejec...

Communicating user needs - the requirements of a system - is a skill difficult to learn, pin down and put into practice. There is no single right way. Much of the recent history of large engineering projects has been a tale of waste and error, where system needs were not defined early, or carefully, enough. Carefully organised and themed, Scenarios, Stories, Use Cases presents the scenario - a powerful antidote to the complexity of systems and...
