Sommario/riassunto

Examines new research on the role of cholesterol in regulating ion channels and receptors and its effect on health  Drawing together and analyzing all the latest research findings, this book explores the role of cholesterol in the regulation of ion channels and receptors, including its pathological effects. It is the first book to comprehensively describe the complex mechanisms by which cholesterol regulates two major classes of membrane proteins. Moreover, it sheds new light on how cholesterol affects essential cellular functions such as the contraction of the heart, propagatio

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two joint events - the International Workshop on Software Measurement, IWSM 2009 and the International Conference on Software Process and Product Measurement, Mensura 2009, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in November 2009. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. This book considers issues such as the applicability of measures and metrics to software, the efficiency of measurement programs in industry and the theoretical foundations of software engineering.
