A Dynamic Reactor to Study Disinfection of Drinking Water

By: Susan Springthorpe,Syed Sattar,AWWA Research Foundation

Because natural water changes seasonally and with other factors, monitoring the disinfection of it should include a feedback system that tests the outcome and adapts the disinfection chemical to maintain a constant desired level of microorganisms being suppressed. Springthorpe and Sattar (both environmental microbiology, U. of Ottawa) investigate the feasibility of using such a dynamic system to deliver a continuous residual. They enclosed the test microorganisms within a hollow fiber cartridge originally developed for use in kidney dialysis, and delivered the disinfectant through the semi-permeable membrane bundle of the cartridge from a plant or pilot plant effluent at a constant residual. Any demand from the contents of the hollow fibers was rapidly satisfied by the continuous delivery of fresh disinfectant. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

Reading the Garden

By: Katie Holmes,Susan K. Martin,Kylie Mirmohamadi

Whether a small plot in the backyard of an inner-urban home or a capital city's sprawling botanic garden, Australians have long desired a patch of dirt to plough or enjoy. 'Reading the garden' explores our deep affection for gardens and gardening and illuminates their numerous meanings and uses from European settlement to the late twentieth century."--Cover.

Introduction to Neuropsychopharmacology

By: Leslie Iversen,Susan Iversen,Floyd E. Bloom,Robert H. Roth

Introduction to Neuropsychopharmacology expands on the molecular and cellular foundations of the classic Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology, Eighth Edition (Cooper, Bloom, and Roth) by now including the behavioral methods used to study psychoactive drugs in experimental animals and in humans. Authored by four founders of modern neuroscience, this concise and comprehensive text covers the current series of medications used to treat diseases of the brain and nervous system--both psychiatric and neurologic--as well as legal and illegal recreational drugs and the neuroscientific information that explains how these medications act on the brain from the molecular to the clinical level. The text ranges from drugs that affect the mood and behavior to hypnotics, narcotics, anticonvulsants, and analgesics.

Managing the Drug Discovery Process

How to Make It More Efficient and Cost-Effective

By: Susan Miller,Walter Moos,Barbara Munk,Stephen Munk

Managing the Drug Discovery Process: How to Make It More Efficient and Cost-Effective thoroughly examines the current state of pharmaceutical research and development by providing chemistry-based perspectives on biomedical research, drug hunting and innovation. The book also considers the interplay of stakeholders, consumers, and the drug firm with attendant factors, including those that are technical, legal, economic, demographic, political, social, ecological, and infrastructural. Since drug research can be a high-risk, high-payoff industry, it is important to researchers to effectively and strategically manage the drug discovery process. This book takes a closer look at increasing pre-approval costs for new drugs and examines not only why these increases occur, but also how they can be overcome to ensure a robust pharmacoeconomic future. Written in an engaging manner and including memorable insights, this book is aimed at redirecting the drug discovery process to make it more efficient and cost-effective in order to achieve the goal of saving countless more lives through science. A valuable and compelling resource, this is a must-read for all students and researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. - Considers drug discovery in multiple R&D venues, including big pharma, large biotech, start-up ventures, academia, and nonprofit research institutes - Analyzes the organization of pharmaceutical R&D, taking into account human resources considerations like recruitment and configuration, management of discovery and development processes, and the coordination of internal research within, and beyond, the organization, including outsourced work - Presents a consistent, well-connected, and logical dialogue that readers will find both comprehensive and approachable

Venereal Diseases and the Reform Enigma

“The Lesser of Two Evils”

By: Susan Lemar

When Sir Humphrey Appleby warned his Prime Minister against making “courageous policy”, he could have been talking about venereal diseases. Many have considered misogyny, class conflict and racial paranoia as the drivers of venereal diseases control policy in the early twentieth century. In reality, such policy was inclined towards disease control in the most practical way, with the resources to hand, and in line with realistic outcomes. This book re-examines historical sources to reveal the unacknowledged complexity of determining public policy for the control of venereal diseases in two case studies, Edinburgh in Scotland and Adelaide in South Australia.

English Experiences

Exploring and Enjoying England and Unearthing the Essence of "Englishness"

By: Susan Briggs

English Experiences is so called because it offers the reader a real opportunity to know England in a way that is usually closed to visitors. This book will appeal to overseas visitors who want to know the "in" places and get insiders' tips, and to people living in England who are often embarrassed they don't know their country as well as visitors. It includes tips on everything from outdoor activities and weather to transportation, food, and local customs.
