As numerous historical documents - on fireclay, papyrus, or paper - testify, alkaloids, nitrogen contining natural substances, have been companions of mankind from ancient time. Valued as drugs and stimulants, some species are also feared because of their addictive potential, and often it seems impossible to distinguish these effects unambiguously. The chemistry of alkaloids has been captivating chemists for ages and generations. This is the first comprehensive reference work providing a concise overview of structure, properties, and history of these unique and fascinating substances!The volume is organised into three main sections. Part 1 examines the chemically relevant aspects by means of carefully selected examples. After a structural classification, structure elucidation (including common pitfalls) is discussed. Moreover, chiroptical properties and synthetic pathways are detailed. Part 2 is devoted to biological and biochemical aspects. It rationalizes chemotaxonomy and biogenesis by means of examples (indole and 1-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloids) and presents details about the functionality of several alkaloids produced by plants and animals. Part 3 finally describes the cultural and historical significance of the most important alkaloid sources. Exciting anecdotes and historical reports illuminate the use of hemlock, ergot, opium, tobacco, coffee, and cinchona, to name only a few.The unique and comprehensive explanation of the most important features of alkaloids makes this book a compendium valuable not only for experts but also for the layman interested in pharmacy.

... Read more
Preventing Legionellosis covers the biology of Legionella and presents a comprehensive review of best practices for legionellosis prevention from around the world. Recent outbreaks, climbing incidence rates and pending lawsuits have raised public awareness about legionellosis, a serious, preventable form of pneumonia that can be contracted from water systems in buildings. Legionellosis has harmed millions of people worldwide and causes annual monetary losses in the billions. However, to really understand the effects of the disease, one must listen carefully as the victims, or their survivors, describe the suffering they have endured. Victims who recover from legionellosis often suffer severe pulmonary disease that can cause long-term or permanent damage. Debilitating effects to kidneys and in the nervous system can occur within days after becoming infected. Therefore, curing the acute illness is not nearly good enough. Prevention of the disease is necessary. Fundamentally, legionellosis is evidence of the failure to properly maintain water systems. It is the only cause of serious pneumonia that people get from their building's water systems. Most cases result from inadequate water treatment and poor water system management. Commercial conflicts of interest often impede correct action for the prevention of legionellosis. Legionellosis is preventable. The biological hazard caused by Legionella bacteria in water systems can be eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels under operating conditions. Many thousands of legionellosis cases could be prevented each year if hazard control methods were used within the context of well-designed hazard analysis and control plans. Every building water facility should have a water management plan and budget that includes water safety. Preventing Legionellosis provides concise detail for: . Improving awareness and education . Implementing water management plans . Mitigating against commercial conflict of interest The book will give the scientific basis for the worldwide technical consensus on the prevention of legionellosis. It will be an invaluable source of information for public health administrators, epidemiologists, infection control professionals, facility safety managers, industrial hygienists, and academic engineers and scientists.

... Read more
The neck dissection has evolved over time by defining its applications, tailoring it to the extent and location of regional disease, thereby using this information to expand or reduce the magnitude of the surgery itself. It has been labeled radical, functional, modified and selective depending on the sacrifice or preservation of certain muscles, nerves or vessels. The aim, however, has always been to encompass the lymph nodes at risk of harboring cancer. It has been described as elective (N0) or therapeutic (N+). It has been declared useful and appropriate for treating the neck in conjunction with cancers arising in the thyroid, the skin, the salivary glands, and the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. In Neck Dissection: Management of Regional Disease in Head and Neck Cancer, Drs. Ferlito, Robbins and Silver have done a masterful job in compiling the collective wisdom of the best minds in the discipline; past and present. The information contained in the various chapters enlightens, inspires and challenges us. This book addresses the subject of node metastasis, its diagnosis, pathology, treatment and outcomes. Nothing is more important to the head and neck surgeon than to have a basic understanding of, and a "hands-on" familiarity with the various surgical options for treatment of cancer in the neck. The authors make it perfectly clear however, that it is still a work in progress. This progress comes with a price. Surgeons today are confronted with many choices or options regarding management of the neck in any particular case. No longer is only one type of dissection to be applied to all circumstances. In addition, many of these new choices are more tedious and technically challenging than the standard radical neck dissection. A poorly performed selective or modified neck dissection can result in an inadequate number or an inappropriate level of nodes removed, thus defeating its purpose.

"This volume is a very valuable and much needed contribution." –Quarterly Review of BiologyAT LAST - A comprehensive, accessible textbook on glial neurobiology!Glial cells are the most numerous cells in the human brain but for many years have attracted little scientific attention. Neurophysiologists concentrated their research efforts instead, on neurones and neuronal networks because it was thought that they were the key elements responsible for higher brain function. Recent advances, however, indicate this isn’t exactly the case. Not only are astroglial cells the stem elements from which neurones are born, but they also control the development, functional activity and death of neuronal circuits. These ground-breaking developments have revolutionized our understanding of the human brain and the complex interrelationship of glial and neuronal networks in health and disease.Features of this book:an accessible introduction to glial neurobiology including an overview of glial cell function and its active role in neural processes, brain function and nervous system pathologyan exploration of all the major types of glial cells including: the astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia of the ACNS and Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system; the book also presents a broad overview of glial receptors and ion channelsan investigation into the role of glial cells in various types of brain diseases including stroke, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Alexander's disease, brain oedema, multiple sclerosis and many morea wealth of illustrations, including unique images from the authors' own libraries of images, describing the main features of glial cellsWritten by two leading experts in the field, Glial Neurobiology provides a concise, authoritative introduction to glial physiology and pathology for undergraduate/postgraduate neuroscience, biomedical, medical, pharmacy, pharmacology, and neurology, neurosurgery and physiology students. It is also an invaluable resource for researchers in neuroscience, physiology, pharmacology and pharmaceutics.

Multivariate Calibration Harald Martens, Chemist, Norwegian
... Read more
Multivariate Calibration Harald Martens, Chemist, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway and Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, Norway Tormod N?s, Statistician, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Aas, Norway The aim of this inter-disciplinary book is to present an up-to-date view of multivariate calibration of analytical instruments, for use in research, development and routine laboratory and process operation. The book is intended to show practitioners in chemistry and technology how to extract the quantitative and understandable information embedded in non-selective, overwhelming and apparently useless measurements by multivariate data analysis. Multivariate calibration is the process of learning how to combine data from several channels, in order to overcome selectivity problems, gain new insight and allow automatic outlier detection. Multivariate calibration is the basis for the present success of high-speed Near-Infrared (NIR) diffuse spectroscopy of intact samples. But the technique is very general: it has shown similar advantages in, for instance, UV, Vis, and IR spectrophotometry, (transmittance, reflectance and fluorescence), for x-ray diffraction, NMR, MS, thermal analysis, chromatography (GC, HPLC) and for electrophoresis and image analysis (tomography, microscopy), as well as other techniques. The book is written at two levels: the main level is structured as a tutorial on the practical use of multivariate calibration techniques. It is intended for university courses and self-study for chemists and technologists, giving one complete and versatile approach, based mainly on data compression methodology in self-modelling PLS regression, with considerations of experimental design, data pre-processing and model validation. A second, more methodological, level is intended for statisticians and specialists in chemometrics. It compares several alternative calibration methods, validation approaches and ways to optimize the models. The book also outlines some cognitive changes needed in analytical chemistry, and suggests ways to overcome some communication problems between statistics and chemistry and technology.

... Read more
English dress in the second half of the sixteenth century has been studied in depth, yet remarkable little has been written on the earlier years, or indeed on male clothing for the whole century. The few studies that do cover these neglected areas have tended to be quite general, focusing upon garments rather than the wearers. As such this present volume will fill an important gap by providing a detailed analysis of not only what people wore in Henry's reign, but why. The book describes and analyses dress in England through a variety of documents, including warrants and accounts form Henry's Great Wardrobe and the royal household, contemporary narrative sources, legislation enacted by Parliament, guild regulations, inventories and wills, supported with evidence and observations derived from visual sources and surviving garments. Whilst all these sources are utilised, the main focus of the study is built around the sumptuary legislation, or the four 'Acts of Apparel' passed by Henry between 1509 and 1547. English sumptuary legislation was concerned primarily with male dress and starting at the top of society, with the king and his immediate family, it worked its way down through the social hierarchy, but stopped short of the poor who did not have sufficient disposable income to afford the items under consideration. Certain groups - such as women and the clergy - who were specifically excluded from the legislation, receive consideration in the second half of the book. Combing the consideration of such primary sources with modern scholarly analysis, this book will prove invaluable for anyone with an interest in the history of fashion, clothing, consumption in Tudor society.

... Read more
Cochineal, a brilliant natural dye that is derived from the female insect Dactylopius coccus (of the family Dactylopiidae), is one of nature's most beautiful colorants. Dactylopius resides on the cactus Nopalea cochenillifera (belonging to the family Cactaceae) and is known all over the world for its beautiful color. Female Dactylopius that is of high quality typically contains greater than 20% carminic acid. It takes approximately 100,000 female beetles to produce 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of cochineal. Male Dactylopius, while large in size, does not yield sufficient quantities of carminic acid to be useful to harvesters of cochineal. Cochineal and cochineal extract, while often used synonymously, do not contain the same quantities of dye (carminic acid). Female Dactylopius insects are composed of four primary substances: carminic acid, protein, fat, and wax. Carminic acid (7-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-3,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-1-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid), the chemical that gives cochineal its vibrant color, is the technical name for cochineal and cochineal extract. Carminic acid is also sold under the trade name CL Natural Red 4. Cochineal has a long and storied history and has been used by indigenous people in the Americas for thousands of years, including the Aztec, Inca, and Maya peoples. Beginning in the Renaissance, cochineal became culturally and economically important to many countries and was once one of the most valuable commodities in Europe. In the early sixteenth century, Spain-strategically sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea-decided to explore beyond the borders of Europe and set its eyes on the New World. While Spain found many valuable goods in the New World, in 1521, Hernando Cortez returned to Spain and presented the King of Spain (Charles V) with cochineal that was from Tenochtitlan (located in central Mexico).

Lymplex capsules contain a blend of 10 organic and wildcrafted herbs designed to strengthen and tighten the lymph nodes and junctions as well as cleanse and flush out the 45 pints of fluid in our lymphatic system. The lymph system, which includes the 1,00,000+ nodes as well as specialized organs, such as the spleen, tonsils, thymus and appendix, is responsible for proper immune function, as well as the direct drainage and detoxification of the blood and interstitial fluids. Lymplex capsules can be used to support the body in maintaining a healthy immune response at the first sign of a sore throat or general malaise, or as part of a complete detox program. Every day your cells create waste products which they need to get rid of. The lymphatic system bathes the cells like a gently flowing stream removing these metabolic wastes and keeping your cells clean and happy. Thus, one aspect of the lympatic system can likened to the garbagemen of a metropolitan city. No one notices or appreciates them until they go on strike and garbage starts piling up everywhere making the city unlivable. If you want to keep your cells clean and happy, keep your lymphatic system Every day we are assaulted by thousands of viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites. One of the jobs of the lymphatic system is to recognize these infections and destroy them. In this way, the lymphocytes (the white blood cells of the lymphatic system) are constantly on patrol like your own private police force. Cells like Natural Killer T cells are specialized attack cells that can recognize certain stealth infections and tumors. Memory T cells keep a record of every infection you have ever been exposed to so the next time you are exposed to the same or a similar infection, your immune system respond almost instantaneously.

... Read more
Of the ten million or so different species of insects on our planet, none is more fascinating than the honeybee. One of the oldest forms of animal life still in existence from the Neolithic Age, bees have been worshipped and mythologized since the beginning of human history. Known popularly for their industriousness ("as busy as a bee") and highly valued for their role in agricultural pollination (every third bite we take depends on them), bees are now kept by a quarter-million beekeepers in the United States alone, and millions more around the world. Honeybees were the first creatures examined by seventeenth-century scientists whose primitive microscopes suggested a complex system of construction. Now, magnified hundreds to thousands of times with a latest generation high-resolution scanning electron microscope, honeybees appear as architectural masterpieces—an elegant fusion of form and function.Melding art and science, photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher puts this modern tool to creative use in order to reveal themicroscopic majesty of these natural wonders. BEE presents sixty astonishing photographs of honeybee anatomy in magnifications ranging from 10x to 5000x. Rendered in stunning detail, Fisher's photographs uncover the strange beauty of the honeybee's pattern, form, and structure. Comprising 6,900 hexagonal lenses, their eyes resemble the structure of a honeycomb. The honeybee's proboscis—a strawlike appendage used to suck nectar out of flowers, folds resembles a long, slender hairy tongue. Its six-legged exoskeleton is fuzzy with hairs that build up a static charge as the bee flies in order to electrically attract pollen. Wings clasp together with tiny hooks and a double-edged stinger resembles a serrated hypodermic needle. The honeybee's three pairs of segmented legs are a revelation, with their antennae cleaners, sharp-pointed claws, and baskets to carry pollen to the hive. These visual discoveries, made otherworldly through Fisher's lens, expand the boundaries of our thinking about the natural world and stimulate our imaginations. BEE features a foreword by nature writer and New York Times editorial board member Verlyn Klinkenborg.

... Read more
The use of Epo in medical practice is increasing constantly. It has revolutionized how we think of blood transfusion in medicine and surgery. Moreover, it has become widely known to scientists, physicians, biotech and pharmaceutical executives and the general public. Additionally, the past ten years have seen important advances in our knowledge and understanding of its action both within and outside of the hematopoietic system.Until now, there has been no single source that contains up-to-date information on Epo addressing the array of subjects that this book presents.The book covers all aspects from developmental biology to specific topics such as medical applications of recombinant Epo, receptor biology, mechanisms of Epo activity, structure/activity relationship, disease states and important actions on non-hematopoietic organs and tissues, including the central nervous system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, reproductive organs and endothelium.

... Read more
Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC) is a critical part of the membranes of your cells. It keeps these membranes fluid and smooth so that they can grow, communicate, and interact with all the other organs of your body. Sometimes phospholipids like PPC become depleted in certain organs like the liver, with long term alcohol use. These organs become stiff and hard (a condition medically known as fibrosis or cirrhosis) and are basically scarred up. They often function poorly, and may eventually fail. It has been found that giving PPC to people with a history of long term alcohol consumption slowed and even stopped the progression of fibrosis and cirrhosis in the liver. Even more exciting, it is suspected that these beneficial effects are not isolated only to the liver - all cells require the correct phospholipids in their membranes to maintain optimal health and run correctly. Although the liver has been the most studied so far, it is likely that many other organs derive benefit from PPC supplementation. This is an age where we spend incredible amounts of time and money in order to make our skin look as smooth, fresh and supple as possible. We hate to say it, but your skin is really just a layer of dead cells with the main function of acting as a barrier to the outside world. But consider the "skin" of your internal self - the membranes of your cells and the suppleness of your body organs. This is where true health and vitality begins, and ensuring the fluidity of your internal membranes is a key step to organ function and internal vitality!

... Read more
Phytoplasmas are the plant pathogenic bacteria that cause plant health problems around the world. Our knowledge about these important plant pathogens has advanced rapidly over the last decade as their impact on major agricultural and horticultural crops and ornamental plants has risen. This comprehensive volume by leaders in the field or phytoplasmology brings together current research on phytoplasmas, their plant hosts and insect vectors. The various approaches to differentiation, classifications and taxonomy are examined in detail, including genome sequencing and functional genomics. Discussions of the relationship between phytoplasmas and plants include the development of disease, biochemical changes in their plant hosts, plant resistance and epidemiology of disease. Finally, transmission by insect vectors, their control and the distribution and potential spread of phytoplasma diseases and vectors are considered. This book will be a valuable reference for researchers and upper-level students in crop protection, plant pathology and applied entomology.

... Read more
Thoroughly referenced and generously illustrated, this book discusses all aspects of cycadology. A small group of ancient palmlike seed plants noted for their beautiful foliage and often brightly colored cones and seeds, cycads are believed to have been among the first seed-bearing plants. Seed bearing was the basis for their worldwide dominance from about 300 million years ago to about 70 million years ago, when today's familiar flowering plants gained ascendancy. In recent years, interest in cycads has increased, partly as a result of the need for a more complete identification of the range of toxic and carcinogenic substances these plants produce and partly because of the recognition that some compounds from cycads may prove valuable in biomedical research.Many cycads have recently been identified as endangered species, including some that seem to have survived virtually unchanged since the Mesozoic era. Cycads have a specific importance, now at risk of being lost forever, for the information they offer on the origins and evolution of seed plants.Knut J. Norstog and Trevor J. Nicholls discuss cycad anatomy, reproduction, physiology, and growth. They also focus on population biology and the fossil cycadophytes, as well as genera and species from both the Old World and the New World. The Biology of the Cycads is illustrated with numerous maps, diagrams, and drawings, as well as more than 350 photographs, in black and white and in color.
