Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found among the lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and in all your body's cells. It is transported to and from the cells by special carriers called lipoproteins. This book focuses on the two main types of lipoproteins- low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is the major cholesterol carrier in the blood. If too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can cause atheroscl...

Fascinating developments in optical pulse engineering over the last 20 years lead to the generation of laser pulses as short as few femtosecond, providing a unique tool for high resolution time domain spectroscopy. However, a number of the processes in nature evolve with characteristic times of the order of 1 fs or even shorter. Time domain studies of such processes require at first place sub-fs resolution, offered by pulse depicting attosecon...

Basandosi sull'analisi di fonti disparate come le riviste storiche divulgative, le immagini fotografiche e documenti alleati e tedeschi, esso osserva le discrepanze tra i f...

Mit diesem Band beteiligt sich die spanische Germanistik an der Diskussion über Zukunft und Ziele des Faches. Sie stellt sich Fragen zur Horizonterweiterung und der methodologischen Erneuerung des Faches, das mit dem Bologna-Abkommen und der Einführung des europäischen Referenzrahmens für Sprachen vor grosse Herausforderungen gestellt wird. Anlass für diese Veröffentlichung ist der 6. Kongress der FAGE (Federación de Asociaciones de Germanista...

Wofür auch immer wir uns sonst halten mögen - wir halten uns für Personen. Doch was heisst dies genau? Bin ich dieselbe Person, die vor zehn Jahren an diesem Schreibtisch sass? Existiert eine Person noch, wenn sie im irreversiblen Koma liegt? Ist eine Person identisch mit ihrem Körper? Müssen wir an die Existenz geistiger Entitäten glauben, wenn sie es nicht ist? Die Autorin untersucht anhand des Ansatzes von P. F. Strawson, was den Begriff, d...

This book argues that a major potential source of social tension in transition and developing countries is not poverty as such, but vulnerability to poverty: the risk of becoming poor. It demonstrates how in China many recent public sector reforms have made many households extremely vulnerable to poverty.

Horace's Satires have a distinctly dialogic quality - not for nothing does Horace himself choose to call these poems sermones, 'conversations'. Even when formally presented as monologues, the Satires seem to be speeches actively addressed to their recipients, cognisant of their audiences, and full of the 'voices' of others. This book applies theories on dialogue by the twentieth-century Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin to Horace's Satires. Bakh...
