A Time for Metabolism and Hormones
Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.
Progress in Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Immunology is acquiring an increasing role in today's medical practice because a large and increasing number of patients suffer from the wide variety of allergic diseases. In addiction, the AIDS epidemic not only threatens an ever-widening range of people, but it also emphasizes the important role of a functioning immune system in maintaining health. During the 13th ICACI, distinguished scientists and physicians discussed a wide variety of new developments in the fields of allergy and immunology and their practical applications. This volume contains over 100 concise and readable reports, representing a broad review of recent results in the fields of allergology and clinical immunology.
Embryonic Medicine and Therapy
In the last 20 years, with the advent of ultrasound imaging, in vitro fertilization, and molecular biology, our knowledge of early human development has completely changed. The recent fields of embryonic and fetal medicine have grown considerably as a result. These important developments have, however, been almost completely ignored by most of the textbooks on Embryology. This textbook presents the most up-to-date information on human development between conception and fetal life. It brings together for the first time detailed clinical and scientific information on natural and artificial conception, together with an overview of normal and abnormal embryonic development. Included are sections on artificial conception, embryonic development in the laboratory, in utero materno-embryonic relationships, and the early diagnosis and therapy of human diseases. The information included here will be essential for all physicians and scientists with an interest in human reproduction. Embryonic Medicine and Therapy provides and accessible, comprehensive, and practical guide to this important stage in human development.
Diffuse Scattering and the Fundamental Properties of Materials
Annotation Beginning with a concise review of the physics and chemistry of polymers and their structure and morphology, this book goes on to describe and explain the common methods of characterizing polymers, including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, among others. Also covered are the characterization and modification of such surface properties as adhesion, wetting, tribology, and surface thermodynamics.

But someone--or something--is following him. Scritch Scratch What could it be? Bold, vibrant illustations make this spooky story a perfect Halloween tale that kids will want to read again and again.
X-ray and Neutron Techniques for Nanomaterials Characterization
Fifth volume of a 40 volume series on nanoscience and nanotechnology, edited by the renowned scientist Challa S.S.R. Kumar. This handbook gives a comprehensive overview about X-ray and Neutron Techniques for Nanomaterials Characterization. Modern applications and state-of-the-art techniques are covered and make this volume an essential reading for research scientists in academia and industry.
Bone Regulators and Osteoporosis Therapy
This volume is designed to provide an understanding of current and potential therapies for osteoporosis. The opening chapter introduces the cells of bone and their interactions. Several following chapters describe factors affecting bone including systemic hormones with significant effects on bone, and local mediators including growth factors, prostaglandins, cytokines and chemokines. Topics that have commanded particular attention recently are calcium, FGF-23, nervous system bone interactions. Drugs that cause bone loss provide important information on mechanism as well as therapeutic considerations. An overview of the genetics of bone disorders and a discussion of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis establish the clinical context. The final chapters discuss current and potential osteoporosis treatments.
