Book Review: Stereotactic Brain Microanatomy: Mathematical Principles and Applications

mavridis’ area targeting for deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders: stereotactic microanatomy and technical aspects

conclusions ma is nowadays the most accurate stereotactic anatomic guide for targeting the human na. it is a representative example of how stereotactic microanatomy could serve the development of stereotactic microneurosurgery. following the currently used trajectory through the alic, a dbs electrode placement within the na, targeting the ma, is feasible, allowing either na or alic stimulation....

Microanatomy of Early Devonian book lungs.

The book lungs of an exceptionally preserved fossil arachnid (Trigonotarbida) from the Early Devonian (approx. 410 Myr ago) Rhynie cherts of Scotland were studied using a non-destructive imaging technique. Our three-dimensional modelling of fine structures, based on assembling successive images made at different focal planes through the translucent chert matrix, revealed for the first time foss...

Book Review: Computer Forensics: Principles and Practices

Mathematical Principles In Biology and Their Applications

The observations of carcinogenesis in vitro (Earle, et al.) and of anaerobic glycolysis (Warburg) in cancer are discussed briefly. Professor Hieger is particularly impressed by carcinogenesis in vitro but was not convinced that metabolic change was, at best, more than a concommitant of cancer rather than the cause. Each investigator tends to look at cancer through glasses tinted by the shades o...

Book Review: Mathematical Linguistics by Kornai, András

For readers of traditional textbooks such as that of Partee, ter Meulen, and Wall (1990), the term 'mathematical linguistics' denotes a rather narrowly circumscribed set of issues including automata theory, set theory, and lambda calculus, with maybe a little formal language theory thrown in. Kornai's contribution is refreshingly different in that he treats, in this relatively compact volume, p...
