 English | 2022 | ISBN: 0323857302 | 980 pages | True PDF | 47.39 MB Viral, Parasitic, Bacterial, and Fungal Infections: Antimicrobial, Host Defense, and Therapeutic Strategies highlight diverse types of infections, including viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal, and the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and other medications, nutraceuticals, and phytotherapeutics. This book addresses the molecular, pathophysiological, and cellular pathways involved in the process of infection. It also examines the host defense mechanisms modulated by innate and adaptive immunity. The book starts off with an introduction, which includes etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of infections. It then goes on to cover a wide spectrum of salient features involved in viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections and effective therapeutic strategies. In addition, there is a complete section of eight chapters elaborating the detailed aspects of COVID-19 infections, Mucormycosis, Omicron, and strategic vaccines and therapeutics. The book further goes on to discuss novel antibiotics, vaccines, bromhexine, boron compounds, phytotherapeutics, and aspects on boosting immune competence. Contributed by experts in the fields of viral, parasitic, bacterial, and fungal infections, the book comprehensively details the various types of infections such as herpes and COVID-19, their molecular mechanisms, and treatment strategies for those engaged in the research of infectious diseases. • Details the pathophysiology of various classes of infections • Examines mechanisms of pathogenesis, immunity, and therapeutics in bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic infectious diseases • Discusses various aspects on herpes, COVID-19 infections, Mucormycosis, Omicron, vaccines, and therapeutics • Covers the salient features on zoonosis, prion disease, and diabetic foot infections • Provides therapeutic strategies of using new antibiotics, vaccines, bromhexine, boron compounds, structurally diverse phytotherapeutics, immune enhancers, and other modalities for treating infections  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0691222886 | 393 pages | True PDF EPUB | 31.58 MB An inspiring vision of how we can build a more just world—one small change at a time "A book as urgent as the moment that produced it."—Jelani Cobb, Columbia Journalism School  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0593534387 | 412 pages | True EPUB | 9.5 MB The remarkable and inspiring story of William Still, an unknown abolitionist who dedicated his life to managing a critical section of the Underground Railroad in Philadelphia—the free state directly north of the Mason-Dixon Line—helping hundreds of people escape from slavery. Born free in 1821 to two parents who had been enslaved, William Still was drawn to antislavery work from a young age. Hired as a clerk at the Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia after teaching himself to read and write, he began directly assisting enslaved people who were crossing over from the South into freedom. Andrew Diemer captures the full range and accomplishments of Still's life, from his resistance to Fugitive Slave Laws and his relationship with John Brown before the war, to his long career fighting for citizenship rights and desegregation until the early twentieth century.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811237905 | 603 pages | True PDF | 41.1 MB Vibrational Dynamics of Molecules represents the definitive concise text on the cutting-edge field of vibrational molecular chemistry. The chapter contributors are a Who's Who of world leaders in the field. The editor, Joel Bowman, is widely considered as one of the founding fathers of theoretical reaction dynamics. The included topics span the field, from fundamental theory such as collocation methods and vibrational CI methods, to interesting applications such as astrochemistry, supramolecular systems and virtual computational spectroscopy. This is a useful reference for theoretical chemists, spectroscopists, physicists, undergraduate and graduate students, lecturers and software developers. Contents:

 English | 2023 | ISBN: 978-1839534287 | 497 pages | True PDF | 28.88 MB The automation of road vehicles is still developing, moving towards improved technology, safety, energy and fuel efficiency, comfort, economic growth, and real-world applications. Vehicle connectivity and information exchange over the road is an essential requirement for the future of automated driving. This book is intended to help bridge the gap between theory and applications of autonomous vehicles. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks and Emerging Technologies for Road Vehicle Automation covers autonomous road vehicles and systems, with a particular focus on vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). VANETs are a key part of the intelligent transport systems framework. They are created by applying the principles of mobile ad-hoc networks to vehicles; that is, the spontaneous creation of a wireless network of mobile devices based on inter-vehicle communication. Coverage also includes further aspects of autonomous road vehicles, including hybrid vehicles, autonomous intelligent vehicles, and autonomous decentralized systems (ADS).  English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032316233 | 203 pages | True PDF EPUB | 7.04 MB This book addresses the eating disorder field's misconceptions about veganism with the goal of realigning the discourse about veganism and non-veganism in eating disorder recovery. Veganism and eating disorders are often associated with one another in the eating disorder field, leading to the widely adopted belief that following the dietary component of veganism may inhibit recovery from an eating disorder. Friedman posits that this belief is founded on an oversimplified view and counters it by exploring the ethical dimensions of veganism. In this book, Friedman looks at ideas perpetuated around veganism and recovery, including the potential harm to vegans prohibited from following veganism in treatment centers. Veganism and Eating Disorder Recovery culminates in a prospective proposal for a "vegan-informed" eating disorder recovery model, which may be adapted for clients' individual needs. Friedman lays a foundation for an improved discourse on veganism and eating disorders by drawing from a wide range of resources, including academic research, blog posts, eating disorder literature, and anecdotes. This accessible text will appeal to professionals and eating disorder clients alike, enabling them to collaborate under optimal conditions.

While skull base approaches always placed arteries and veins at risk, newer endoscopic endonasal approaches have introduced new challenges for the prevention and management of vascular injury. Greater anatomic knowledge, additional surgical options, improved instrumentation, advances in interventional neuroradiology, and enhanced training all contribute to successful outcomes. Vascular Challenges in Skull Base Surgery by renowned skull base experts Paul Gardner, Carl Snyderman, Brian Jankowitz, and distinguished contributors, fills a gap in the literature, with invaluable guidance on managing rare but potentially catastrophic surgical complications.

These include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Each method presents different strengths and weaknesses and varies by sensitivity, specificity, and rapidity, among other characteristics. These techniques can be used for the detection of pathogens like SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, influenza, lymphocystis disease virus, swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus, swine vesicular disease virus, classical swine fever virus, infectious bursal disease virus, Marek's disease virus, human papillomaviruses, infectious bronchitis virus, Newcastle disease virus, sacbrood virus, beak and feather disease virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, bovine herpesvirus-1, and more.
