An advanced undergraduate textbook which describes how hosts' immune-systems control parasitic infections.This completely updated second edition provides a clear account of how immune responses operate and how parasites can evade immunity. Parasites have evolved to exploit hosts' bodies, whereas hosts have evolved immune systems to control infections. Host-parasite interactions therefore provide fascinating examples of evolutionary arms-races in which the immune system plays a key role. Including an expanded section on anti-parasite vaccines, the text focuses on modern research in immunoparasitology directed at understanding and exploiting the capacity to develop effective anti-parasite immunity. The experimental basis of this research is emphasized throughout.

This is a concise but clear undergraduate textbook on the physics of electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic fields and waves.This is an undergraduate textbook on the physics of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic fields and waves. It is written mainly with the physics student in mind, although it will also be of use to students of electrical and electronic engineering. The approach is concise but clear, and the authors have assumed that the reader will be familiar with the basic phenomena. The theory, however, is set out in a completely self-contained and coherent way and developed to the point where the reader can appreciate the beauty and coherence of the Maxwell equations. Throughout, the authors stress the relationships between microscopic structure of matter and the observed macroscopic electric and magnetic fields. The applications cover a wide range of topics, and each chapter ends with a set of problems with answers.Mathematical prologue; 1. Charges and currents; 2. Electrostatics; 3. Electric dipoles; 4. Static magnetic fields; 5. Time dependent fields; 6. Faraday's law and Maxwell's equations; 7. Electromagnetic waves in a vacuum; 8. The electrostatics of conductors; 9.

This textbook, first published in 1985, is intended to be an accessible introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students which should prepare them for research in design theory and its applications. The first four chapters of the book are designed to be the core of any course in the subject, while the remaining chapters can be utilized in more advanced or longer courses. The authors assume some knowledge of linear algebra for the first half of the book, but for the second half, students need further background in algebra.1. Basic concepts; 2. Symmetric designs; 3. Some failures of symmetric designs; 4. 3-Designs and related topics; 5. Resolutions; 6. Other 2-designs; 7. Some 1-designs; 8. The large Mathieu designs.

Considers complex numbers and Laplace transforms, as well as some additional topics such as complex variable theory and Fourier series and transforms.In this volume, the author covers the mathematical methods appropriate to both linear-systems theory and signal processing. The text deals with a number of topics usually found in introductory linear-systems courses, such as complex numbers and Laplace transforms, and addresses additional topics such as complex variable theory and Fourier series and transforms. Although the discussion is mathematically self-contained, it assumes that the reader has a firm background in calculus and differential equations. Each chapter contains a number of worked examples plus exercises designed to allow the student to put concepts into practice. The author writes in a mathematically elegant yet relaxed and readable style, and provides interesting historical notes along the way. Undergraduate students of electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and related disciplines - and their teachers - will welcome this book.Preface; 1. Complex numbers; 2. Laplace transforms; 3. Linear systems; 4. Fourier series; 5. Functions of a complex variable; 6. Fourier transforms; 7.
