The Messenger: Moderna, the Vaccine, and the Business Gamble That Changed the World
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1647823196 | 297 Pages | EPUB | 0.8 MB
At the start of 2020, Moderna was a biotech unicorn with dim prospects. Yes, there was the promise of its disruptive innovation that could transform medicine by using something called messenger RNA, one of the body's building blocks of life, to combat disease. But its stock was under water. There were reports of a toxic work culture. And despite ten years of work, the company was still years away from delivering its first product. Investors were getting antsy, or worse, skeptical.

Christiaan Kappes, "The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of Florence"
English | ISBN: 0268106371 | 2019 | 418 pages | EPUB | 956 KB
The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of Florence is the first in-depth investigation into both the Greek and the Latin sides of the debate about the moment of Eucharistic transubstantiation at the Council of Florence. Christiaan Kappes examines the life and times of the central figures of the debate, Mark Eugenicus and John Torquemada, and assesses their doctrinal authority. Kappes presents a patristic and Scholastic analysis of Torquemada's Florentine writings, revealing heretofore-unknown features of the debate and the full background to its treatises. The most important feature of the investigation involves Eugenicus. Kappes investigates his theological method and sources for the first time to give an accurate appraisal of the strength of Mark's theological positions in the context of his own time and contemporary methods. The investigation into both traditions allows for an informed evaluation of more recent developments in the official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church in light of these historical sources. Kappes provides a historically contextual and contemporary proposal for solutions to the former impasse in light of the principles rediscovered within Eugenicus's works. This monograph speaks to contemporary theological debates surrounding transubstantiation and related theological matters, and provides a historical framework to understand these debates.

Jean-Claude Schmitt, Alex J. Novikoff, "The Conversion of Herman the Jew: Autobiography, History, and Fiction in the Twelfth Century"
English | 2012 | pages: 317 | ISBN: 0812222199, 0812242548 | PDF | 2,5 mb
Sometime toward the middle of the twelfth century, it is supposed, an otherwise obscure figure, born a Jew in Cologne and later ordained as a priest in Cappenberg in Westphalia, wrote a Latin account of his conversion to Christianity. Known as the Opusculum, this book purportedly by "Herman, the former Jew" may well be the first autobiography to be written in the West after the Confessions of Saint Augustine. It may also be something else entirely.

M. Kat Anderson, "Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California's Natural Resources"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0520248511, 0520238567 | EPUB | pages: 555 | 4.4 mb
John Muir was an early proponent of a view we still hold today-that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. But as this groundbreaking book demonstrates, what Muir was really seeing when he admired the grand vistas of Yosemite and the gold and purple flowers carpeting the Central Valley were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, sowing, pruning, and burning. Marvelously detailed and beautifully written, Tending the Wild is an unparalleled examination of Native American knowledge and uses of California's natural resources that reshapes our understanding of native cultures and shows how we might begin to use their knowledge in our own conservation efforts.

THE END OF THE BALANCE OF POWER by Ruben Ygua
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B084C2TMKT | 155 pages | EPUB | 0.27 Mb
Africa: the Berlin conference had only recognized the colonies of Angola and Mozambique, but Portugal claimed all the territory that united them, the region known as Zambeziland, by the river Zambezi, which crosses it. Already five years ago, Britain had succeeded in having Bechuanaland recognized as its protectorate (although it was expanding: a few months later it would annex the northernmost region indicated on the map), and Cecil Rhodes was obtaining concessions from the indigenous chiefs in Zambeziland. This put Portugal in conflict with Britain. In defense of its claims, Portugal tried to gain the support of Germany, claiming that a third power was needed to isolate the German colonies from the British to avoid a conflict between two great powers. However, Germany did not want to confront Britain and did not support Portugal, nor did the Republic of South Africa

Statistical Methods for Food Science: Introductory procedures for the food practitioner By John A. Bower(auth.)
2009 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 1405167645 | PDF | 5 MB
The recording and analysis of food data are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Consequently, the food scientist in industry or at study faces the task of using and understanding statistical methods. Statistics is often viewed as a difficult subject and is often avoided because of its complexity and a lack of specific application to the requirements of food science. This situation is changing - there is now much material on multivariate applications for the more advanced reader, but a case exists for a univariate approach aimed at the non-statistician. This book provides a source text on accessible statistical procedures for the food scientist, and is aimed at professionals and students in food laboratories where analytical, instrumental and sensory data are gathered and require some form of summary and analysis before interpretation. It is suitable for the food analyst, the sensory scientist and the product developer, and others who work in food-related disciplines involving consumer survey investigations will also find many sections of use. There is an emphasis on a 'hands on' approach, and worked examples using computer software packages and the minimum of mathematical formulae are included. The book is based on the experience and practice of a scientist engaged for many years in research and teaching of analytical and sensory food science at undergraduate and post-graduate level.Content: Chapter 1 Basics and Terminology (pages 1-13): Chapter 2 The Nature of Data and their Collection (pages 14-42): Chapter 3 Descriptive Statistics (pages 43-87): Chapter 4 Analysis of Differences - Significance Testing (pages 88-110): Chapter 5 Types of Significance Test (pages 111-136): Chapter 6 Association, Correlation and Regression (pages 137-149): Chapter 7 Experimental Design (pages 150-172): Chapter 8 Sensory and Consumer Data (pages 174-210): Chapter 9 Instrumental Data (pages 211-237): Chapter 10 Food Product Formulation (pages 238-261): Chapter 11 Statistical Quality Control (pages 262-283): Chapter 12 Multivariate Applications (pages 284-303):

Pseudo-Peptides in Drug Development By
2004 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 3527306331 | PDF | 4 MB
Peptides are among the most versatile bioactive molecules, yet the do not make good drugs, because they are quickly degraded or modified in the body. To overcome this problem, stable and at the same time biologically active pseudo-peptides have been developed. These novel compounds open up new perspectives in drug design by providing an entire range of highly specific and non-toxic pharmaceuticals. This is the first work devoted to the topic and draws together knowledge gained on different types of peptidomimetics and other pseudo-peptides with drug properties. As such, it includes peptoids, beta-peptides, polyamide DNA binders as well as peptide nucleic acids. The expert authors and editor discuss chemical properties and stability, biological activity and reactivity, as well as practical aspects of synthesis, making this a prime resource for drug developers and bioorganic chemists working with these compounds.Content: Chapter 1 Versatile Oligo(N?Substituted) Glycines: The Many Roles of Peptoids in Drug Discovery (pages 1-31): James A.
