Biogeochemistry

An Analysis of Global Change

By: W.H. Schlesinger,Emily S. Bernhardt

For the past 4 billion years, the chemistry of the Earth's surface, where all life exists, has changed remarkably. Historically, these changes have occurred slowly enough to allow life to adapt and evolve. In more recent times, the chemistry of the Earth is being altered at a staggering rate, fueled by industrialization and an ever-growing human population. Human activities, from the rapid consumption of resources to the destruction of the rainforests and the expansion of smog-covered cities, are all leading to rapid changes in the basic chemistry of the Earth. The Third Edition of Biogeochemistry considers the effects of life on the Earth's chemistry on a global level. This expansive text employs current technology to help students extrapolate small-scale examples to the global level, and also discusses the instrumentation being used by NASA and its role in studies of global change. With the Earth's changing chemistry as the focus, this text pulls together the many disparate fields that are encompassed by the broad reach of biogeochemistry. With extensive cross-referencing of chapters, figures, and tables, and an interdisciplinary coverage of the topic at hand, this text will provide an excellent framework for courses examining global change and environmental chemistry, and will also be a useful self-study guide. Emphasizes the effects of life on the basic chemistry of the atmosphere, the soils, and seawaters of the EarthCalculates and compares the effects of industrial emissions, land clearing, agriculture, and rising population on Earth's chemistrySynthesizes the global cycles of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur, and suggests the best current budgets for atmospheric gases such as ammonia, nitrous oxide, dimethyl sulfide, and carbonyl sulfideIncludes an extensive review and up-to-date synthesis of the current literature on the Earth's biogeochemistry.

Producing Liquid Fuels from Coal

Prospects and Policy Issues

By: James T. Bartis,Frank Camm,David S. Ortiz

Large U.S. coal reserves and viable technology make promising a domestic industry producing liquid fuels from coal. Weighing benefits, costs, and environmental issues, a productive and robust U.S. strategy is to promote a limited amount of early commercial experience in coal-to-liquids production and to prepare the foundation for managing associated greenhouse-gas emissions, both in a way that reduces uncertainties and builds future capabilities.

A Bare and Impolitic Right

Internment and Ukrainian-Canadian Redress

By: Bohdan S. Kordan,Craig Mahovsky

When must a current government attempt to come to terms with the wrongs of governments long past? In A Bare and Impolitic Right Bohdan Kordan and Craig Mahovsky examine the internment of Ukrainian Canadians during the Great War and explore the political, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of redress. Situating the campaign for Ukrainian-Canadian redress within a wider discussion on political leadership and transitional justice, the authors argue that, by reaffirming the values that are central to a rule-based society, symbolic redress might not only play an important role in reconciling the past with present and future generations but also aid the country to reconnect with those foundational traditions that inform Canadian political culture.

Intervening in the Brain

Changing Psyche and Society

By: Reinhard Merkel,G. Boer,J. Fegert,T. Galert,D. Hartmann,B. Nuttin,S. Rosahl

The wealth of insights into the brain’s functioning gained by neuroscience in recent years led to the development of new possibilities for intervening in the brain such as neurotransplantation, neural prostheses and brain stimulation techniques. Moreover, new and safer classes of psychopharmaceutical drugs lend themselves to neuroenhancement applications, i.e. they could be used to enhance cognitive capacities or emotional well-being without therapeutic need. This book offers extensive state-of-the-art accounts for these novel kinds of intervention, indicates future developments, and discusses the relevant philosophical, ethical and legal issues.

Signal Transduction in Leukocytes

G Protein-Related and Other Pathways

By: Pramod M. Lad,John S. Kaptein,Ching-Kow Lin

Signal Transduction in Leukocytes presents important principles and various aspects of cellular regulation in leukocytes. The book discusses receptor structure and signaling, emphasizing cytokine receptors and the T cell and B cell antigen receptors. It investigates the role of the heterotrimeric G proteins and small G proteins as transducers. Authorities in each field cover a wide range of topics. They explore propagation of signaling cascades through second messengers and serine/threonine kinases, the initiation of signaling from the B and T cell antigen receptors by tyrosine phosphorylation and protein recruitment, and the role of signaling in cell-cell interactions and the regulation of the cell cycle. The book outlines the relationship of receptor signaling to inflammatory reactions of neutrophils, eosinophils, and macrophages.

Histones and Other Basic Nuclear Proteins

By: Gary S. Stein,Janet L. Stein

This comprehensive book is a compilation of Professor Lubomir S. Hnilica's twenty years of research experimentally addressing the chemistry and the biological functions of chromosomal proteins. The histones and other nuclear proteins found associated with DNA in a number of tissues and cell types are featured. Lubomir Hnilica played a major role in establishing the extent to which these basic chromosomal polypeptides are conserved and the manner in which they interact with DNA to modify chromatin structure. In addition, non-histone chromosomal protein research is explained, and his technique of applying several biochemical and immunological approaches to the characterization of this complex and heterogeneous class of chromosomal polypeptides is discussed. Highlighted is the use of chemical crosslinking for studying protein/DNA interactions in intact cells. The proteins as well as the structure, organization, and regulation of the genes are also presented.

Projecting Ethnicity and Race

An Annotated Bibliogaphy of Studies on Imagery in American Film

By: Marsha J. Hamilton,Eleanor S. Block

This comprehensive annotated bibliography reviews nearly 500 English-language studies published between 1915 and 2001 that examine the depiction of ethnic, racial, and national groups as portrayed in United States feature films from the inception of cinema through the present. Coverage includes books, reference works, book chapters within larger works, and individual essays from collections and anthologies. Concise annotations provide content summaries; unique features; major films and filmmakers discussed; and useful information on related titles, purpose, and intended readership. The studies included range from specialized scholarly treatises to popular illustrated books for general readers, making ^IProjecting Ethnicity and Race^R an invaluable resource for researchers interested in ethnic and racial film imagery. Entries are arranged alphabetically by title for easy access, while four separate indexes make the work simple to navigate by author, subject, gender, race, ethnic group, nationality, country, religion, film title, filmmaker, performer, or theme. Although the majority of studies published examine images of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Asians in film, the volume contains studies of groups including Africans, Arabs, the British, Canadians, South Sea Islanders, Tibetans, Buddhists, and Muslims—making it a unique reference book with a wide range of uses for a wide range of scholars.

Human Rights and World Public Order

The Basic Policies of an International Law of Human Dignity

By: Myres S. McDougal,Harold D. Lasswell,Lung-chu Chen

In 1980, Professors McDougal, Lasswell, and Chen published the original edition of Human Rights and World Public Order to present a "comprehensive framework of inquiry" from which to approach international human rights law, and international law, and inadequacies therein in the discourse of that time by combining theme, structure, method, and process. As a classic text of the New Haven School of International Law, this book explores human rights and international law in the broadest sense, taking into account social sciences research while embracing all values secured, or consequently fulfilled, or needed to thus be achieved. The book endured as a lasting contribution that reframed human rights within the New Haven School tradition, and as a magnificent work of scholarship freed from the confines of positivism and the static concerns of any one political or historical period.

Urinary Cytology

Manual and Atlas

By: Peter Rathert,Stephan Roth,Mark S. Soloway

Excellent illustrations and the latest technology from the clinic, practice and laboratory are compiled for both the practicing urologist and the researching cytopathologist in the book "Urinary Cytology." The completely revised and up-dated text in the new second edition reflects the first common effort of urologists, pathologists and cytopathologists to find a unified concept: from conventional cytology to electron microscopy toflow cytometry. The authors' main emphasis is on conveying practical techniques for the collection, concentration, fixation, staining and analysis of cellular material. They clearly discuss the circumstances under which new techniques are advisable and the relevance of these techniques when difficult questions of detail arise. At the same time, basic scientific principles arepresented in comprehensible form. The atlas section gives examples of urologic cytology, compares pathological with normal results, discusses the problems in differential diagnosis and points the way to solutions.

Quantum Mechanics I

The Fundamentals

By: S. Rajasekar,R. Velusamy

Quantum Mechanics I: The Fundamentals provides a graduate-level account of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and sub-nuclear levels. It covers basic concepts, mathematical formalism, and applications to physically important systems. This fully updated new edition addresses many topics not typically found in books at this level, including: Bound state solutions of quantum pendulum Morse oscillator Solutions of classical counterpart of quantum mechanical systems A criterion for bound state Scattering from a locally periodic potential and reflection-less potential Modified Heisenberg relation Wave packet revival and its dynamics An asymptotic method for slowly varying potentials Klein paradox, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, and Bell’s theorem Delayed-choice experiments Fractional quantum mechanics Numerical methods for quantum systems A collection of problems at the end of each chapter develops students’ understanding of both basic concepts and the application of theory to various physically important systems. This book, along with the authors’ follow-up Quantum Mechanics II: Advanced Topics, provides students with a broad, up-to-date introduction to quantum mechanics. Print Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.

Evidence-Based Guidelines for Nutritional Support of the Critically Ill: Results of a Bi-National Guideline Development Conference

By: Gordon S. Doig

The purpose of this guidelines initiative was to develop or update and validate an evidence- based feeding guideline for critically ill patients. A widely accepted methodology was adopted, which requires the identification of previously developed and validated evidence-based guidelines. The process then specifies a methodology for identifying and assimilating evidence that may be used to change or update the previously validated guidelines. An extensive literature search was conducted (closeout date April 2003). Four hundred and sixty five full text papers were retrieved and reviewed. The only evidence-based guideline for feeding critically ill patients that had been validated in an RCT was identified (Martin et al. 2004). When evaluated in a cluster randomised trial including 499 patients from 14 hospitals, the adoption of this guideline resulted in a 10% reduction in mortality (p= 0.058) and an average decrease in hospital stay of 10 days (p=0.003). The process and evidence used to support and update this guideline is presented in this document. The final ratified guideline was evaluated in a 27 hospital cluster randomised trial conducted in Australia and New Zealand.
