YOU are perfectly capable of finding Mr/s. Right and having a fabulous marriage! It's just a matter of selecting the right person in the first place. The Compatibility Matrix reveals exactly how to find the right match for you. Using the RESPECT Principle, you'll be able to quickly filter out those with whom you have little or nothing in common, and you'll develop strategies and insights in meeting people who share your interests and values. The Matrix study surveyed more than 250 couples, and these survey results are the foundation of the RESPECT Principle. So many people have grown up in single-parent households, and they may have no idea where to begin...or whether they can trust themselves to make the right decision regarding getting married. The Compatibility Matrix gives a set of actual measurements by which you can make an "educated guess" whether the person you're falling in love with might actually be The One. This book takes almost all of the guesswork out of the equation. And as a bonus, you'll learn a little bit more about yourself in the process. Enjoy! Foreword by Joseph "Dr. Joe" Christiano

Kidney Transplantation: A Guide to the Care of Transplant Recipients is an easy to read, up to date, clinical resource written by experts in the field of kidney transplantation. The book explains how donors and recipients are selected for transplantation, how the surgical procedure is performed, and how the experts recognize and treat rejection. Clearly illustrated chapters show how the immune system works in the setting of transplantation and how immunosuppressive medications prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney; knowledge essential for the proper care of the transplant recipient. The acute and long-term care of the patient is described from the perspective not only of proper immunosuppressive medication management, but also from the perspective of comorbidities most common to transplanted patients, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases, malignancies, and bone disease. Special issues that impact the care of the transplant recipient, such as unusual donor sources, nonadherence and insurability are also addressed.

This book provides an evolutionary conceptual framework for comparative genomics, with the ultimate objective of understanding the loss and gain of genes during evolution, the interactions among gene products, and the relationship between genotype, phenotype and the environment. The many examples in the book have been carefully chosen from primary research literature based on two criteria: their biological insight and their pedagogical merit. The phylogeny-based comparative methods, involving both continuous and discrete variables, often represent a stumbling block for many students entering the field of comparative genomics. They are numerically illustrated and explained in great detail. The book is intended for researchers new to the field, i.e., advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and postdoctoral fellows, although professional researchers who are not in the area of comparative genomics will also find the book informative.

The new Digital Radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a highly innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system that will replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in the immediate future. It is designed for excellent mobile reception, is highly robust against multipath reception and allows the use of single frequency networks (SFN) for high frequency efficiency. In addition to several high-quality digital audio services, DAB is able to transmit programme associated data and a host of other data services including travel and traffic inform.
