The Galaxy Disk in Cosmological Context (IAU S254)

By: International Astronomical Union. Symposium,Bengt Strömgren

The paradigm of a dark energy- and dark matter-dominated Universe, with the hierarchical merger scenario for the formation of galaxies, has scored impressive successes in matching the observed Universe. However, the theory fails to explain the difficulty in generating ordinary disk galaxies such as the Milky Way, suggesting that some important physics must be missing in current models. IAU Symposium 254 was organized to address this question, gathering researchers from an unusually broad range of fields, from cosmology to interstellar matter, and the formation and evolution of stars. High-class reviews, lectures and posters combine to define the frontiers in the field and point the way to new avenues of research. This volume presents a unique set of succinct overviews illuminating the full range of topics in this very active field. It also honors Danish astrophysicist Bengt Strömgren (1908-1987), who laid much of the foundation for this entire field.

Molecular Toxicology

By: P. David Josephy,Bengt Mannervik

The science of toxicology has progressed considerably since Molecular Toxicology was first published in 1997. New advances in biochemical and molecular biological experimental techniques have helped researchers understand the precise effects of toxins and foreign compounds on living things atthe molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Breakthrough research has recently been completed illuminating the human genome and the role of enzymes in toxic biochemical reaction mechanisms. Toxicology now covers drug metabolism and design, carcinogenesis, programmed cell death, and DNA repair,among other subjects. The second edition captures these and other advances, and broadens its scope to address the experimental science of toxicology. The first edition of Molecular Toxicology has become an indispensable resource for graduate students in molecular and biochemical toxicology courses,as well as academic researchers and industrial researchers in toxicology. Rigorously updated and revised, the new edition commands an unrivaled authority in the field of molecular toxicology.

Neither Fish nor Fowl

Educational Broadcasting in Sweden 1930-2000

By: Bengt Sandin,Maija Runcis

This look into the transformation of the Swedish welfare state in the 20th century through changes in the structure and content of Swedish educational broadcasting provides new insights into how media education fostered political and social change and reflected the changes of government policies as well as the fundamental cultural transformation of the Swedish society. The political authorities formulated general ambitions for broadcast media's role in society as a public service system that could affect the views and construe the understanding of citizenship, equality, childcare, children's role in society, environmental issues, democracy, and everyday politics. This study explores how educational broadcasting was negotiated between parties with varying agendas to become both a voice for progressive change and for established interests.

Introduction to Heat Transfer

By: Bengt Sundén

Presenting the basic mechanisms for transfer of heat, this book gives a deeper and more comprehensive view than existing titles on the subject. Derivation and presentation of analytical and empirical methods are provided for calculation of heat transfer rates and temperature fields as well as pressure drop. The book covers thermal conduction, forced and natural laminar and turbulent convective heat transfer, thermal radiation including participating media, condensation, evaporation and heat exchangers. This book is aimed to be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses in heat transfer and thermal engineering. It can successfully be used in R & D work and thermal engineering design in industry and by consultancy firms

Maternal Drug Use and Infant Congenital Malformations

By: Bengt Källén

This book is the combination of the literature on maternal drug use and birth defects with a set of new data on most types of drugs. In this book, for each group of drugs the relevant scientific literature on drug teratogenicity is presented, with consideration of possible sources of error and also what the findings may mean from a practical point of view. The book also adds data from the Swedish health registers for 1996-2013 based on more than 1.7 million early-pregnancy midwife interviews. Maternal Drug Use and Infant Congenital Malformations will find an engaged audience among people working within the field, and will be of interest to healthcare providers, especially obstetricians and other clinicians who treat women of childbearing age.

Alzheimer Disease

Neuropsychology and Pharmacology

By: Gérard Emilien,Cécile Durlach,Kenneth L. Minaker,Bengt Winblad,Serge Gauthier,Jean-Marie Maloteaux

Alzheimer disease (AD) has become the most common form of dementia in industrialized countries and represents an increasing burden at the economic, social and medical level. In discussing both the biological aspects of AD as well as the cognitive functions involved, Alzheimer Disease - Neuropsychology and Pharmacology presents a comprehensive picture of the pathology and approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Basic research including animal models, molecular and genetic aspects is also taken into consideration. In part I, the biological correlates of AD are discussed. In part II the neuropsychological aspects such as cognitive impairment, loss of functional autonomy and emergence of neuropsychiatric disturbances of AD are outlined. In part III, strategies for effective treatment and prevention of AD are discussed. This book will be a useful source of information for clinicians as well as researchers in the area of neuropharmacology.

Arne Beurling und Hitlers Geheimschreiber

Schwedische Entzifferungserfolge im 2. Weltkrieg

By: Bengt Beckman

Als im Jahre 1940 ein schwedischer Mathematiker die Verschlüsselung für die deutsche strategische Militärkommunikation knackte, war dies eine der größten Errungenschaften in der Geschichte der Kryptologie. Die fachlich präzise Geschichte dieses Ereignisses kann mit allen Bestandteilen eines klassischen Thrillers aufwarten: Eine verzweifelte Kriegssituation, ein launischer, heimlich tuender und gleichzeitig genialer Mathematiker mit einer besonderen Begabung für die Kryptologie, und eine atemberaubende mathematische Heldentat, die bis heute mysteriös bleibt. Es war Arne Beurling, der Erbe des Büros von Einstein am Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, der in einem entscheidenden Moment der Weltgeschichte die Hauptrolle in diesem Thriller spielte. Viel Persönliches fließt dabei ein, und verleiht dem Buch einen ganz besonderen Charme. Der Autor, Bengt Beckman, war über viele Jahre der Direktor des Bereichs für Kryptoanalyse von Försvarets Radioanstalt, der Regierungsbehörde für Entschlüsselung in Schweden. Er hat ein Buch geschaffen, das unabhängig von der mathematischen Vorbildung ein Genuss ist für alle Leser: Für Historiker wie auch Biographie-Begeisterte, Mathematiker und Leser, deren Interesse an der Kryptologie durch Bücher wie die von Singh oder Beutelspacher geweckt wurde.

Codici cifrati

Arne Beurling e la crittografia nella II guerra mondiale

By: Bengt Beckman

Durante la II guerra mondiale hanno avuto luogo numerosi risultati di rilievo nel campo della crittografia militare. Uno dei meno conosciuti è quello usato dal servizio di intelligence svedese, nei confronti del codice tedesco per le comunicazioni strategiche con i comandi dei paesi occupati nel nord Europa, le cui linee passavano per la Svezia. In tal modo, durante la fase più critica della guerra la direzione politica e militare svedese era in grado di seguire i piani e le disposizioni dei Tedeschi, venendo a conoscenza dei più arditi progetti per modificare la propria politica, tenendo la Svezia fuori dalla guerra. La violazione del codice tedesco è narrata in dettaglio, per la prima volta, con elementi che gli permettono di essere un’ottima introduzione al campo della crittografia, oltre che un ritratto vitale e umano della società del tempo: una disperata condizione bellica, l'intrigo politico e spionistico, il genio del matematico Arne Beurling, le difficoltà e i trucchi del mestiere, e il lavoro sistematico e oscuro di una folla di decrittatori.
