Signal Transduction in Cardiovascular System in Health and Disease Madhu B. Anand- Srivastava and Ashok K. Srivastava This book has addressed the contributions of several key signal transduction pathways which are central to our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. Aberrations in these signaling events have been suggested to be involved in a host of cardiovascular pathologies, such as cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart failure and hypertension. All the chapters have been written by well known leaders in the fields, which cover a wide range of intracellular events that regulate various aspects of cardiovascular functions. This book will be of interest to both basic as well as clinical scientists seeking to understand the molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases, and also to those interested in defining targets for cardiovascular pharmacotherapy. About the Authors Dr. Madhu B. Anand-Srivastava is a Professor, Department of Physiology, and a member of the Group de recherche sur le système nerveux autonome, University of Montréal. In 1990, she received a prestigious Scientist Award from Medical Research Council of Canada and in 2004, she was bestowed with the Vincenzo Panagia Distinguished Lecturer award from the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences of the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. She is an internationally recognized expert in the area of G-protein and natriuretic peptide receptor-C signaling, and has made significant contributions in defining the role of Gia proteins in the pathogenesis of hypertension. She has published more than 125 papers in refereed journals and edited 3 books in the area of G-proteins, hypertension and NPR-C receptor and cell signaling, and has been invited to several National and International conferences and academic institutions to present her work. Dr. Anand-Srivastava has served or is currently on different committees of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and is also on the editorial boards of several scientific publications, including the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. She has also organized several National and International conferences on cell signaling in cardiovascular system. Dr. Ashok K. Srivastava is a Professor at the Department of Medicine, Université de Montréal, and Head of the Laboratory of Cell Signaling at the Research Center of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM). He has over 100 publications in fields of insulin, vasoactive peptide and redox signaling, and cardiovascular complications. He has served or is serving as a guest editor of many journals such as Antioxidant and Redox Signaling, Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics and Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, and is currently a member of the editorial boards of Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease and Recent Patents on Endocrine, Metabolic and Immune Drug Discovery. Dr. Srivastava is also on the grant review panels of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and the National Institutes of Health. He has also organized several International symposia and workshops on Second Messengers and cell signaling.

Prometheus the god stole fire from heaven and bestowed it on humans. In punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock, where an eagle clawed unceasingly at his liver, until Herakles freed him. For the Greeks, the myth of Prometheus's release reflected a primordial law of existence and the fate of humankind. Carl Kerényi examines the story of Prometheus and the very process of mythmaking as a reflection of the archetypal function and seeks to discover how this primitive tale was invested with a universal fatality, first in the Greek imagination, and then in the Western tradition of Romantic poetry. Kerényi traces the evolving myth from Hesiod and Aeschylus, and in its epic treatment by Goethe and Shelley; he moves on to consider the myth from the perspective of Jungian psychology, as the archetype of human daring signifying the transformation of suffering into the mystery of the sacrifice.

Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) was born in Basel, Switzerland. Euler's formula is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. When its variable is the number pi, Euler's formula evaluates to Euler's identity. On the other hand, the Yang–Baxter equation is considered the most beautiful equation by many scholars. In this book, we study connections between Euler’s formulas and the Yang–Baxter equation. Other interesting sections include: non-associative algebras with metagroup relations; branching functions for admissible representations of affine Lie Algebras; super-Virasoro algebras; dual numbers; UJLA structures; etc.

How does a culture become Christian, especially one that is heir to such ancient traditions and spectacular monuments as Egypt? This book offers a new model for envisioning the process of Christianization by looking at the construction of Christianity in the various social and creative worlds active in Egyptian culture during late antiquity.As David Frankfurter shows, members of these different social and creative worlds came to create different forms of Christianity according to their specific interests, their traditional idioms, and their sense of what the religion could offer. Reintroducing the term "syncretism" for the inevitable and continuous process by which a religion is acculturated, the book addresses the various formations of Egyptian Christianity that developed in the domestic sphere, the worlds of holy men and saints' shrines, the work of craftsmen and artisans, the culture of monastic scribes, and the reimagination of the landscape itself, through processions, architecture, and the potent remains of the past.Drawing on sermons and magical texts, saints' lives and figurines, letters and amulets, and comparisons with Christianization elsewhere in the Roman empire and beyond, Christianizing Egypt reconceives religious change-from the "conversion" of hearts and minds to the selective incorporation and application of strategies for protection, authority, and efficacy, and for imagining the environment.

"Set amid the glimmering lakes and disappearing forests of the United States in the 1830s, The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s imagines how individuals at the time experienced their lives. Part truth, part fiction, this book follows painters, poets, enslaved individuals, farmers, and artisans through various settings. Some, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Nat Turner, Thomas Cole, and Edgar Allan Poe, are well-known; others are not. All are creators of private and grand designs, and makers of the worlds they inhabited. The Forest unfolds in brief stories. Each is an episode revealing a lost world of intricate relations: human beings going their own ways or crossing paths, in a place that is known to history, or is remote and unknown. For Alex Nemerov, the forest is a description of American society, as he writes, "the dense and discontinuous woods of nation, the foliating thoughts of different people, each with their separate life to lead." Nemerov's art history is at its center an experiment in writing, in how to write differently about visual culture. The Forest examines the history of the United States on a human scale, displaying the patterns of life alongside examples of paintings, prints, photographs and objects"--
