¿Existe Dios?

Autor: Hans Küng

Número de Páginas: 1104

Los años transcurridos desde la publicación por vez primera de esta obra no le han restado actualidad, «pues el papel de la religión en los Estados laicos es objeto de vehementes discusiones en los tiempos que corren, tanto en España como en Europa, y tras esos debates se esconde la cuestión más profunda de si un hombre moderno e ilustrado puede defender ante la razón, y en qué forma, la fe en Dios». Hans Küng elude tanto la ingenuidad fideísta (con Descartes) como el racionalismo ideológico (con Pascal), afrontando los retos del ateísmo moderno (Feuerbach, Marx y Freud) y del nihilismo posmoderno (Nietzsche). El resultado de ambos ha sido la puesta en cuestión de las certezas fundamentales: las relativas a la fe religiosa y las que conciernen a la consistencia y sentido de la realidad en general. Para Küng este resultado es irrefutable, pero, a la vez, no concluyente. «Sí a la realidad», como alternativa al nihilismo, desde una postura de confianza radical; «sí a Dios», como alternativa al ateísmo, desde una fe que trasciende la razón sin negarla; y «sí al Dios de la Biblia», al Dios de Jesucristo en particular, como fundamento de esa confianza radical: ...

Systems Thinking in Medicine and New Drug Discovery

Autor: Robert E. Smith

Número de Páginas: 348

This second book in a two-volume set tells how the healthcare community is working with patients and their caregivers to help improve health using P4 medicine, proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. The healthcare community is finding ways to predict one’s susceptibility to diseases, so they can be prevented from occurring, when possible. When diseases do emerge, it is developing personalized therapies and ways for patients to participate in their own healthcare. At the same time, systems thinking dispels many misconceptions, such as ‘natural’ foods and ‘superfoods’. In fact, the only true superfood is mother’s breast milk. Also, dietary antioxidants prevent inflammation by activating our natural antioxidant system (Nrf2). However, environmental toxins can counteract our best efforts. Still, systems thinking encourages us to fix the problem and not the blame. This book will appeal to professionals, non-professionals and patients, who can learn how to improve healthcare and prevent diseases, while reversing the effects of global climate change.

Charged Semiconductor Defects

Autor: Edmund G. Seebauer , Meredith C. Kratzer

Número de Páginas: 304

Defects in semiconductors have been studied for many years, in many cases with a view toward controlling their behaviour through various forms of “defect engineering”. For example, in the bulk, charging significantly affects the total concentration of defects that are available to mediate phenomena such as solid-state diffusion. Surface defects play an important role in mediating surface mass transport during high temperature processing steps such as epitaxial film deposition, diffusional smoothing in reflow, and nanostructure formation in memory device fabrication. “Charged Defects in Semiconductors” details the current state of knowledge regarding the properties of the ionized defects that can affect the behaviour of advanced transistors, photo-active devices, catalysts, and sensors. Features: group IV, III-V, and oxide semiconductors; intrinsic and extrinsic defects; and, point defects, as well as defect pairs, complexes and clusters.

Newly-made capo Neal Walsh has devoted her life to protecting the powerful Mancuso crime family, but when a crisis crushes connections within the organization, she must carefully navigate shifting alliances to ensure her loyalty is not misplaced—a task made even more complicated when she begins falling hard for the reclusive wife of her boss’s sworn enemy. Anastasia Petrov surrendered to her fate as the trophy wife of powerful mob boss Mikhail Petrov long ago, but their marriage of convenience has become increasingly less so since his reckless power grabs have put their fortune in peril. Taking matters into her own hands, she secretly seeks out new allies. But what starts as strictly business turns into a dangerous attraction to the striking younger woman on the other side who awakens a desire she’s long denied and ignites a fire that could either burn them all down or save her soul.

Fractional S(p)des: Theory, Numerics, And Optimal Control

Autor: Wilfried Grecksch , Hannelore Lisei

Número de Páginas: 286

Recent breakthroughs in volatility modelling have brought fractional stochastic calculus to a groundbreaking position. Readers of Fractional S(P)DEs will find a unique and comprehensive overview encompassing the theory and the numerics of both ordinary and partial differential equations (SDEs and SPDEs, respectively), driven by fractional Brownian motion.Within this book, both differential equations are considered with fractional noise, while also considering fractional derivatives in the case of SPDEs. Three primary aspects are pursued: Theory and numerics for rough SPDEs; Optimal control of both SDEs and SPDEs driven by fractional Brownian motions (and their applications); And numerics for time-fractional SPDEs driven by both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noises.This series of complementary articles, compiled by two internationally renowned scientists, is united by a common application-oriented view of fractional Brownian motion and its stochastic calculus. As such, this book will be particularly useful for mathematicians working in the fields of stochastics applied in Finance and Natural Sciences, as well as those preparing courses on advanced stochastic processes.

Écrits, travaux et discours: Volume 1

Autor: Gustave De Beaumont

Número de Páginas: 407

Après avoir parcouru l’Amérique en compagnie de son ami Tocqueville, Gustave de Beaumont (1802-1866) connut plus qu’un succès d’estime par ses livres sur l’Irlande ou sur le sort des Indiens et des Noirs aux États-Unis. Les rapports et discours qui émaillent sa carrière politique, de même que ses articles de journaux ou ses travaux académiques, à peine étudiés par les historiens, méritent tout autant l’examen. Ils sont réunis ici ensemble, pour la première fois. Pour la démocratie libérale, minée par la corruption électorale et le suffrage restreint, pour une colonisation en Algérie fondée sur l’État de droit, et non sur le seul régime militaire, et pour bien d’autres causes encore, Gustave de Beaumont a livré des combats qu’on peut qualifier d’importants.

The Rise of Fetal and Neonatal Physiology

Autor: Lawrence D. Longo

Número de Páginas: 546

During the mid- to late-twentieth century, study of the physiology of the developing fetus and newborn infant evolved rapidly to become a major discipline in the biomedical sciences. Initially of interest from a standpoint of function of the placenta and oxygenation of the fetus, the field advanced to explore both normal functional mechanisms as well as pathophysiologic aspects of their regulation. Examples include studying the role and regulation of circulatory vascular anatomic shunts in oxygenation, cardiac function, certain aspects of asphyxia in the fetus and newborn infant, the role of fetal “breathing” movements, cyclic electroencephalographic activity, and analysis of electronic monitoring of fetal heart rate variability and its significance. Included in this book are reminisces of several dozen individuals who played a vital role in these developments. Overall, this survey considers a number of aspects of the development of the science of fetal and neonatal physiology, and its role in the greatly improved care of pregnant women and their newborn infants. This book is published on behalf of the American Physiological Society by Springer. Access to APS books published...

Hormones and Resistance

Autor: Hans Selye

Número de Páginas: 1158

7 If so, the individual members of each class thus identified could then be subjected to a more profound pharmacokinetic analysis. In other words, we had to determine first which hormone protects against which drug, before we could explore how it did this. We had to know first that a hormone has adaptive value before we could ask whether this is due to a syntoxic or a catatoxic mechanism. Such observations, as the fact that an indomethacin-induced intestinal ulcer can be prevented by ethylestrenol, orthat cortisol aggravates certain infections, reveal nothing about how these hormones work; but only findings of this type can tell us where further research would be rewarding. Of course, scientists can rarely identify by direct observation the tbings that they are looking for; most of the time they have to be guided by indirect indices. The ebernist often first detects a compound, or even a particular functional group in its molecule, by inference from a color reaction, a revealing X-ray diffraction pattern or the formation of a characteristic precipitate. The physician must first suspect the presence of a microbe through certain clinical signs and symptoms before he can verify his...

Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes

Autor: Adrian Danek

Número de Páginas: 285

Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes is the first comprehensive review of a field that has not yet received the attention it deserves. Affecting the brain as well as the circulating red cells, these multi-system disorders in the past had often been mistaken for Huntington's disease. Recent breakthroughs have now identified the molecular basis of several of these. This volume grew out of the first international scientific meeting ever devoted to neuroacanthocytosis and provides in-depth information about the state of the art. Its thirty chapters were written by the leading authorities in the field to cover the clinical as well as the basic science perspective, including not only molecular genetics but also experimental pharmacology and cell membrane biology, among others. The book vehemently poses the question of how the membrane deformation of circulating red blood cells relates to degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, the basal ganglia, in particular. It provides a wealth of data that will help to solve an intriguing puzzle and ease the suffering of those affected by one of the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes.
