Forensic science has been under scrutiny for some time, since the release of the NAS report in 2009. The report cited the need for standardized practices and the accreditation of crime labs. No longer can the forensic community take the position that cross-examination in a courtroom will expose weaknesses in methodology and execution. Quality Management in Forensic Science covers a wide spectrum of forensic disciplines, relevant ISO and non-ISO standards, accreditation and quality management systems necessary in any forensic science laboratory. Written by a globally well-respected forensic scientist with decades of experience in the forensic science laboratory and on the stand, as an expert ...
This book presents an updated discussion of the chemical composition and biological properties of the main bee products. Specific attention is focused on the beneficial biological activities of bee products in human health. Honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee pollen and bee venom are used as nutriment and in traditional medicine. Their composition is rather variable and depends on the floral source and external factors, such as seasonal, environmental conditions and processing. Bee products are rich in several essential nutrients and non essential nutrients, as sugars, minerals, proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and polyphenols, that seem to be closely related to their biological functions. The effects of these products in nutrition, aging and age-related diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and pathogen infections are discussed.

El libro de Feliciano Montero contribuye en buena medida a llenar ese ...
Lejos de constituir una particularidad del comportamiento político de los españoles, la violencia es, a la luz de una historiografía global y comparativa, ingrediente definitorio de las transformaciones experimentadas por las sociedades europeas desde finales del siglo XVIII. Fenómeno a la vez estructurante y de oportunidad, la naturaleza y expresiones de la violencia colectiva responden a procesos de largo aliento vinculados a mudanzas de orden social, económico, científico, cultural y político, pero también a cambios de coyuntura en los espacios donde se plantean conflictos de poder, desde el ámbito local al internacional.El presente tomo aborda acontecimientos clave del siglo pas...
