1599: A Year In The Life Of William Shakespeare (P. S. Ser.)

How did Shakespeare go from being a talented poet and playwright to become one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this one exhilarating year we follow what he reads and writes, what he saw and who he worked with as he invests in the new Globe theatre and creates four of his most famous plays - Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet.This book brings the news, intrigue and flavour of the times together with wonderful detail about how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman and playwright, to create an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history.

15N-NMR Spectroscopy (NMR Basic Principles and Progress #18)

After the proton and carbon, nitrogen is, with oxygen, the most impor­ tant atom in organic and especially bioorganic molecules. However, the development of nitrogen spectroscopy is indeed very recent. This is due to the fact that nitrogen-14, which is the naturally abundant iso­ tope, suffers, for structural studies, from the disadvantages inherent in nuclei with a quadrupolar moment (Table 1.1). Actually, indirect 15N measurements were reported in the early days of double resonance spectroscopy and the first direct detection of 15N resonance signals at the natural abundance level was realized in 1964 (R 17) at 4.33 MHz 1 (~ 1T) using a 15 mm o.d. cell in the field sweep mode (~ 0.16 min- ). Signal-to-noise ratios only of 3-4 were obtained for neat liquids and this low sensitivity of the 15N resonance still remains the main dis­ advantage for 15 spectroscopy (Table 1.1). However, nitrogen-15 has, N probably more than any other nucleus, benefited from the advances of NMR technology, i.e. Fourier transformation, multinuclear facilities, wide-bore super conducting solenoids, and, with the new generation of spectrometers, 15N-NMR is entering the field of routine investigation. Nevertheless, in spite of these spectacular improvements, obtaining 15N spectra of diluted species or large biochemical molecules is often not very easy and a good knowledge of the relaxation properties pecu­ liar to 15N may be necessary in order to adjust the pulse sequences and the decoupler duty cycle correctly (Section 2).

15N Tracing of Microbial Assimilation, Partitioning and Transport of Fertilisers in Grassland Soils (Springer Theses)

This book presents innovative research on soil nitrogen cycling and nitrate leaching with a view to improving soil management and fertiliser nitrogen use efficiency and reducing nitrogen leaching losses. In this regard, nitrogen-15 (15N)-labelled fertiliser was used as a biochemical and physical stable isotope tracer in laboratory and field experiments. The major outcome of the research was the development, validation and application of a new compound-specific amino acid 15N stable isotope probing method for assessing the assimilation of fertiliser nitrogen by soil microbial biomass. The novelty of the method lies in its tracing of incorporated nitrogen into newly biosynthesised microbial protein in time-course experiments using gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The approach provides previously unattainable insights into the microbial processing of different nitrogen fertilisers in different soils. Further, it identifies the mechanistic link between molecular-scale processes and observations of field-scale fertiliser nitrogen immobilisation studies. The method and the results presented here will have far-reaching implications for the development of enhanced recommendations concerning farm-based soil management practices for increasing soil productivity and reducing nitrogen losses, which is essential to minimising environmental impacts.

16/32 bit-Mikroprozessorsysteme

Das vorliegende Buch ist die Überarbeitung des Skriptes einer Vorlesung für Studenten der Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg. Bedingt durch die Vor­ gaben des Studienplans sind den Hörern noch keine tiefergehenden Details von Prozessoren, Rechnern oder der Systemsoftware vermittelt worden. Sol­ ches Wissen wird auch beim Leser dieses Buches nicht vorausgesetzt. Die Prinzipien der digitalen Schaltungstechnik sollten bekannt und erste Erfah­ rungen mit einem Rechner durch das Programmieren in einer Hochsprache sollten gemacht sein. Selbstverständlich kann es für den Leser nur von Vor­ teil sein, wenn er mit der Welt der 8 bit-Prozessoren vertraut ist. Mikroprozessoren wurden in den siebziger Jahren vorwiegend für solche Steuerungsaufgaben und Problemstellungen eingesetzt, die durch ein einzel­ nes Programm gelöst werden konnten. Im Bereich der größeren Minicomputer war es zu dieser Zeit noch üblich, die Zentraleinheit (CPU) aus vielen Inte­ grierten Schaltkreisen auf einer großen Leiterplatte aufzubauen. Computer dieser Art waren frei programmierbar und hatten intellUpfgesteuerte Betriebs­ systeme mit der Fähigkeit, mehrere Programme, ihre Ein- und Ausgaben, so­ wie die Kommunikation zwischen ihnen zu verwalten. Die Firma Motorola entwickelte mit dem M68000 einen Mikroprozessor, bei dem eine CPU vergleichbar der eines Minicomputers auf nur einem Chip in­ tegriert ist. Seine Architektur weist Merkmale auf, die ihn für eine Umgebung mit mehreren Programmen besonders geeignet erscheinen läßt; hierauf wird im Einzelfall immer wieder hingewiesen.

16-Bit-Microprocessor Systems: Structure, Behavior, and Programming

In the last few years, a large number of books on microprocessors have appeared on the market. Most of them originated in the context of the 4-bit and the 8-bit microprocessors and their comparatively simple structure. However, the techno-logical development from 8-bit to 16-bit microprossors led to processor components with a substantially more complex structure and with an expanded functionality and also to an increase in the system architecture's complexity. This books takes this advancement into account. It examines 16-bit micro-processor systems and descrihes their structure, their behavior and their programming. The principles of computer or­ ganization are treated at the component level. This is done by means of a detailed examination of the characteristic functionali­ ty of microprocessors. Furthermore the interactions between hardware and software, that are typical of microprocessor technology, are introduced. Interfacing techniques are one of the focal points of these considerations. This puplication is organized as a textbook and is intended as a self-teaching course on 16-bit microprocessors for students of computer science and communications, design engineers and users in a wide variety of technical and scientific fields. Basic knowledge of boolean algebra is assumed. The choice of material is based on the 16-bit microprocessors that are currently available on the market; on the other hand, the presentation is not bound to anyone of these microprocessors.

1. AIle ausschlieBlich mit hitzesterilisierten Faktorenkonzentraten behandelten Patienten sind auch nach einer Beobachtungszeit von bis zu 6 Jahren HTLV III­ negativ. 2. Bei den primiir mit nichtinaktivierten Priiparaten behandelten Patienten findet sich bereits 1981 eine hohe Serokonversionsrate rur HTL V III von etwa 41 % . 3. Nach Umstellung der Behandlung auf hitzeinaktivierte Priiparate im Jahre 1983 wurden bei unseren Patienten keine neuen HTLV III-Infektionen mehr beob­ achtet. 4. Die Priivalenz von HTLV III-Antikorpem ist bei den Patienten mit Hiimophilie A und Hiimophilie B iihnlich hoch. 5. Die ansteigenden Antikorper-Titer werden als Ausdruck einer Virusreplikation bei persistierender HTL V III -Infektion gewertet. 6. Keiner unserer Anti-HTLV III-positiven Patienten weist auch nach einer Beob­ achtungszeit von bis zu 5 Jahren Symptome eines Lymphadenopathie-Syndroms oder AIDS-related complex auf.
