Frontiers in Celiac Disease

Frontiers in Celiac Disease

Few other fields in human biology have experienced such a tremendous progress as celiac disease has during the past few years. The contributors to ‘Frontiers in Celiac Disease’ are world-renowned opinion leaders who made these advances possible. Their expertise has been assembled here to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentations, diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease. In addition, the stage is set for innovative strategies for preventive interventions and treatment alternatives to a gluten-free diet. A valuable reference for basic and translational scientists, this book also serves as a practical resource to healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, subspecialists, dieticians, nutritionists, and nurses and nurse practitioners. Students from different disciplines will find this book a helpful guide to expand and deepen their knowledge of celiac disease.

Frontiers in Statistical Quality Control 10

The 10th International Workshop on Intelligent Statistical Quality Control took place in Seattle, USA, Aug 18-20, 2010. It was hosted by Professor C. M. Mastrangelo, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle. The workshop was jointly organized by Professors H. J. Lenz, C. M. Mastrangelo, W. Schmid and P.T. Wilrich. The twenty-seven papers in this volume were carefully selected by the scientific program committee, reviewed by its members, revised by the authors and, finally, adapted for this volume by the editors.The book is divided into two parts: Part I ‘On-line Control’ covers fields like control charting, monitoring and surveillance as well as acceptance sampling. Part II ‘Off-line Control’ is devoted to experimental design, process capability analysis and data quality.The purpose of the book is on the one hand to provide insights into important new developments in the area of statistical quality control especially surveillance and monitoring and on the other hand to critically discuss methods used in on-line and off-line statistical quality control.

Computing with Hp-Adaptive Finite Elements, Volume 2

Computing with Hp-Adaptive Finite Elements, Volume 2

With a focus on 1D and 2D problems, the first volume of Computing with hp-ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS prepared readers for the concepts and logic governing 3D code and implementation. Taking the next step in hp technology, Volume II Frontiers: Three-Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications presents the theoretical foundations of the 3D hp algorithm and provides numerical results using the 3Dhp code developed by the authors and their colleagues.

Romans, Barbarians and the Transformation of the Roman World

Romans, Barbarians and the Transformation of the Roman World

One of the most significant transformations of the Roman world in Late Antiquity was the integration of barbarian peoples into the social, cultural, religious, and political milien of the Mediterranean world. The nature of these transformations was considered at the sixth biennial Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity Conference, at the University of Illonis at Urbana-Champaign in March of 2005, and this volume presents an updated selectin of the papers given on the occasion, complemented with a few others.
