Development of the Cardiac Conduction System
The pacemaking and conduction system (PCS) is vital for generating and synchronizing the heart beat. Dysfunction of this system can be a direct cause of cardiac conduction disturbance, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. A wealth of information has been collected over many years on the unique histological, morphological and phenotypic characteristics of specialized cardiac tissues. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern development of the PCS are now starting to be understood.
This book draws together contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of experts working on both basic and clinical aspects of cardiac development. It features reviews of the structure and function of the developing PCS, discussion of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating embryological development of this system and studies on the fundamental basis of PCS pathology. The book also considers how novel therapeutic interventions based on understanding...

Metabolic Engineering
In contrast to the phenomenal growth in genetic engineering, relatively little progress has been made in the analysis of metabolic pathways for the directed modification and improvement of cellular properties and metabolite production. Effective pathway modification requires analytical methods to quantify metabolic fluxes and their control, and precise molecular biological techniques to implement changes at the genetic level. This book is an attempt to bridge this gap by presenting the methods and goals of the emerging interdisciplinary field of metabolic engineering. The first part of Metabolic Engineering is a comprehensive review of cellular metabolism, including metabolic pathway regulation, stoichiometries, material balances, and models of cellular reactions. The result is a quantitative picture of metabolic biochemistry. The next part deals with pathway construction, stoichiometry, kinetics and thermodynamics. The key topics of pathway fluxes and flux control are examined in terms...

Theory of Code Division Multiple Access Communication
A comprehensive introduction to CDMA theory and application
Code division multiple access (CDMA) communication is rapidly replacing time- and frequency-division methods as the cornerstone of wireless communication and mobile radio. Theory of Code Division Multiple Access Communication provides a lucid introduction and overview of CDMA concepts and methods for both the professional and the advanced student.
Emphasizing the role CDMA has played in the development of wireless communication and cellular mobile radio systems, the author leads you through the basic concepts of mobile radio systems and considers the different principles of multiple accesstime division, frequency division, and code division. He then analyzes three major CDMA systemsdirect sequence (DS) CDMA systems, frequency hopped (FH) CDMA systems, and pulse position hopped (PPH) CDMA systems. Other topics covered include:
Spread spectrum (SS) technology
Forward error control coding
