Basic and Clinical Aspects of Pulmonary Fibrosis
Basic and clinical aspects are discussed by expert contributors in this book devoted to stimulating further studies and developing new therapies for pulmonary fibrosis. Current laboratory and basic findings are reviewed in the book's first 19 chapters, while clinical aspects are addressed in the remaining 16 chapters. These aspects include laboratory and bronchalveolar findings, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, collagen disease lungs, sarcoidosis, pneumoconiosis, hypersensitive pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonia, ARDS, radiation pneumonia, BOOP, viral pneumonia, and other diseases causing pulmonary fibrosis. The roles of various cytokines, viral infection, and lung injuries in the development and pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis are discussed. The definition, classification, and lung functions of pulmonary fibrosis are included as well.
Supercritical and Other High-pressure Solvent Systems
This book brings together recent advances in supercritical technology and other pressurised-solvent systems.
Organometallic Chemistry
Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic and coordination chemistry research and emerging fields. With continued increases in the variety of information available, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. The reviews in this volume range in scope and include recent developments in homogeneous catalysis for the functionalization of carbon dioxide, early transition metal complexes and their uses in medicinal chemistry, homogeneous gold catalysis under microwave irradiation: a greener approach and properties of metal complexes of mesoionic carbenes. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.
ON MONEY AND METTA
Money and Mettā symbolize the interconnectedness of economic processes and moral ideas in a Buddhist context –mettā, 'loving kindness', constitutes a core concept of Buddhism. Based on eighteen months of research in the lowland Myanmar town of Pathein, this book investigates manifold economic activities on the ground. Particular attention is paid to the self-employed and their relationships with relatives, workers, and community members. The ethnography covers a range of topics, including business formation and succession, recruitment, child labour, ethnicity, indebtedness and charity. It is demonstrated that, amidst rapidly changing socio-economic conditions, values rooted in kinship morality and Buddhism remain significant and continue to shape people's economic reasoning and activities.

Sustainable Solvents
Exploring the solvent life cycle, this book provides a critical assessment on emerging solvents for academics and industrialists working with solvents, as well as policy-makers.
The Rupture of Time
Why was the idea of synchronicity so important to Jung? Jung's theory of synchronicity radically challenges the entrenched assumptions of mainstream modern culture in the West. It is one of the most fascinating yet difficult and discomfiting of Jung's psychological theories. The Rupture of Time aims to clarify what Jung really meant by synchronicity, why the idea was so important to him and how it informed his thinking about modern western culture. Areas examined include: * how the theory fits into Jung's overall psychological model and the significance of its apparent inconsistencies * the wide range of personal, intellectual and social contexts of Jung's thinking on the topic * how Jung hi...
Changes in Religious and Spiritual Practices in Western Society
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach between the sociology of religion and practical theology, this book examines the dynamic changes in religious and spiritual practices in the West from the 1960s. From this examination, the book demonstrates that westerners are becoming spiritually hungry and there is also a general thirst for righteousness. When people demand faithfulness and loyalty in marriages, relationships, and at the workplace, that is a thirst for righteousness. Furthermore, these changes are also leading to a paradigm shift in the West: in religion and spirituality contexts, we are moving from the Christian Age to a new era, which some scholars claim to be the New Age. In politi...
