Round Barns of New York

Round Barns of New York

Richard Triumpho

Syracuse University Press
2004
sidottu
This book begins with an overview of the first five round barns built across America, including one in New York State Elliott Stewart, who built the first octagon barn in the Empire State in 1874, is revealed to be a passionate original whose vigorous editorial campaign led to the construction of a dozen such barns. The author next introduces John McArthur who constructed a polygonal (sixteen-sided, double octagon) barn so huge it was the biggest in the state and second largest in the nation! Case histories document five other singular New York barns of varying configurations. Abundant photos make these bygone barns spring to life. Floor plans of the earliest barns show why the round shape engaged farmers at the turn of the century. The book also explains why true-round barns, born of silos, surpassed octagon barns in popularity. A special section on seven true-round barns in New York offers historical data and rare anecdotes by present owners. This fascinating chronicle shows how these eccentric barns rose to fashion, why so few survived in New York State, and why the remaining are worth studying - and preserving - as legitimate architecture and as a record of agricultural progress in New York.

A Basis Theory Primer

A Basis Theory Primer

Christopher Heil

Birkhauser Boston Inc
2010
sidottu
The classical subject of bases in Banach spaces has taken on a new life in the modern development of applied harmonic analysis. This textbook is a self-contained introduction to the abstract theory of bases and redundant frame expansions and their use in both applied and classical harmonic analysis. The four parts of the text take the reader from classical functional analysis and basis theory to modern time-frequency and wavelet theory. Extensive exercises complement the text and provide opportunities for learning-by-doing, making the text suitable for graduate-level courses. The self-contained presentation with clear proofs is accessible to graduate students, pure and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in the mathematical underpinnings of applications. No other text develops the ties between classical basis theory and its modern uses in applied harmonic analysis.

Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies

Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies

CRC Press Inc
2003
sidottu
Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine. This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few. While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers.

Neurophysiological Basis of Cerebral Blood Flow Control

Neurophysiological Basis of Cerebral Blood Flow Control

John Libbey Co Ltd
1996
nidottu
This textbook covers the entire subject of the regulation of cerebral blood flow, with special emphasis on neurogenic mechanisms, and relationships with physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms. In this work, both research and clinical aspects are covered. Established authorities in the field of cerebral circulation and metabolism, backed up by other internationally known neuroscientists, have prepared this in-depth text-book review of cerebral circulation and its control, together with the necessary background information in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, pharmacology and vascular physiology. Techniques of investigation of cerebral circulation and metabolism are dealt with in a comprehensive manner, allowing the reader to evaluate approaches to a particular research problem and to assess the reliability of published results.Particular emphasis is given to the role and effects of neurotransmitters and neural systems - extrinsic and intrinsic - in controlling cerebral blood flow, while two chapters deal with related clinical disorders. A carefully selected reference list allows further personal research by the interested reader.Eminently readable (number of text references limited), well illustrated, seriously documented and up-to-date, this is a suitable reference book for graduate level onwards, and should be of special interest to all those in or entering this field of research. It should be of interest to researchers in physiology, pharmacology, and anatomy, neuroscience, as well as clinicians, especially neurologists, neurosurgeons and nuclear medicine specialists of the brain.

"This chatty biography, written with the cooperation of the late actor's family, is crammed with anecdotes, personal opinions, and warm humor " said our reviewer (LJ 2/15/76) of this portrait of the horror star, who played every baddie from Frankenstein's monster to Dr. Seuss's Grinch. The text is buttressed with 150 photos and a complete filmography. This should still be "popular in public library collections."

Molecular Basis of Lymphokine Action

Molecular Basis of Lymphokine Action

David R. Webb; Carl W. Pierce; Stanley Cohen

Humana Press Inc.
1987
sidottu
The Fifth International Lymphokine Workshop was convened in Clearwater Beach, Florida, January 11-15, 1987. The theme chosen for the meeting was 'The Molecular Basis of Lymphokine Action," which reflected the opinion of the organizers as to how far the field had moved since the first Lymphokine Workshop only eleven years ago. As was evident at the last Lymphokine Workshop held in 1985, the contribution of molecular biology, particularly in the cloning of lymphokine genes, continues to play an important role in clarifying the structure of lymphokines, providing recombinant (read "pure") proteins for biological studies, and suggesting directions for studies of the molecular basis of lymphokine activity. The most recent lymphokines to yield to molecular cloning meth­ odology were the B-cell growth and differentiation factors, in partic­ ular BSF-1 or, as it is sometimes termed, interleukin 4. One of the surprises from this research is the broad spectrum of activities that can be attributed to this molecule, aside from its effects on B-cells, thus perhaps justifying its being called an interleukin. The interleukin 2 symposium demonstrated that even in a well-established research area, controversy and excitement can continue, when evidence was presented by several investigators indicating the presence of a second "converter" protein that changes the affinity of the now classical Tac antigen from a low to a high affinity IL-2 receptor.
