Introduction to English Morphology
11
 
 
Introduction to English MorphologyMorphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the internal structure of words, word-formation mechanisms that give rise to new words, and mechanisms that produce wordforms of existing words. Intended as a companion for students of English language and linguistics at both B.A. and M.A. levels, this textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the entire field of English morphology, including English word-formation and English inflectional morphology. The textbook discusses not only basic introductory issues requiring no prior background in linguistics but also fairly controversial theoretical issues which different linguists treat in a different way.

Epigenetic Advancements in Cancer

This volume explores the epigenetic alterations and their association with various human cancers. Considering one of human cancer as an example, individual chapters are focused on defining the role of epigenetic regulators and underlying mechanisms in cancer growth and progression.

The Stress Response of Critical Illness: Metabolic and Hormonal Aspects

The Stress Response of Critical Illness: Metabolic and Hormonal Aspects

This book demonstrates how the latest insights into the physiopathology of the stress response can be integrated into clinical practice. The topic is particularly relevant since the metabolic changes triggered by acute stress, including adaptive responses such as resistance to anabolic signals, have recently been more precisely delineated. The underlying mechanisms of these changes are also now better understood.

Dynamics of Contention

Dynamics of Contention

Dissatisfied with the compartmentalization of studies concerning strikes, wars, revolutions, social movements, and other forms of political struggle, McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly identify causal mechanisms and processes that recur across a wide range of contentious politics. Critical of the static, single-actor models (including their own) that have prevailed in the field, they shift the focus of analysis to dynamic interaction. Doubtful that large, complex series of events such as revolutions and social movements conform to general laws, they break events into smaller episodes, then identify recurrent mechanisms and proceses within them.

Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Cancer (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit, 15)

Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Cancer (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit, 15)

Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Cancer is about mechanisms of normal and cancer cell cycling, checkpoint control, and the link of mitogenic signalling and cell cycle machinery. Checkpoint mechanisms from yeast to man are addressed to allow a comprehensive understanding of the cell cycle. Applications to current and future anticancer therapies are discussed.
