Chemical Modification, Properties, and Usage of Lignin
One of the most significant challenges facing mankind in the twenty-first century is the development of a sustainable global economy. Within the scientific community, this calls for the development of processes and technologies that will allow the sustainable production of materials from renewable natural resources. Plant material, in particular lignin, is one such resource. During the annual production of about 100 million metric tons of chemical wood pulps worldwide, approximately 45 and 2 million metric tons/year of kraft lignin and lignosulfonates, respectively, are also generated. Although lignosulfonates have found many applications outside the pulp and paper industry, the majority of ...
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Building Energy and Environment
This book is a compilation of selected papers from the 5th International Conference on Building Energy and Environment (COBEE2022), held in Montreal, Canada, in July 2022. The work focuses on the most recent technologies and knowledge of building energy and the environment, including health, energy, urban microclimate, smart cities, safety, etc. The contents make valuable contributions to academic researchers, engineers in the industry, and regulators of buildings. As well, readers encounter new ideas for achieving healthy, comfortable, energy-efficient, resilient, and safe buildings.
Clinical Focus Series:
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, also known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is an inflammation of the lungs due to breathing in a foreign substance, usually certain types of dust, fungus, or moulds. Part of the Clinical Focus Series, Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is a concise guide to the condition, discussing epidemiologic, immune-pathologic, physiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic developments. The text also examines genetics, lung function, bronchoscopy, treatment and new findings in the field. Written by an author and editor team from the USA, Europe and Asia, each chapter is enhanced with tables and illustrations, as well as X-Rays and CT images. Key Features Concise guide to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic alveolitis) Discusses epidemiology, immune-pathology, physiology, diagnosis and treatment Includes chapter on new findings in the field Experienced author and editor team from the USA, Europe and Asia Numerous tables, illustrations, X-Rays and CT images
PET and SPECT in Psychiatry
PET and SPECT in Psychiatry showcases the combined expertise of renowned authors whose dedication to the investigation of psychiatric disease through nuclear medicine technology has achieved international recognition. The classical psychiatric disorders as well as other subjects – such as suicide, sleep, eating disorders, and autism – are discussed and the latest results in functional neuroimaging are detailed. Most chapters are written jointly by a clinical psychiatrist and a nuclear medicine expert to ensure a multidisciplinary approach. This state of the art compendium will be valuable to all who have an interest in the field of neuroscience, from the psychiatrist and the radiologist/nuclear medicine specialist to the interested general practitioner and cognitive psychologist. It is the first volume of a trilogy on PET and SPECT imaging in the neurosciences; other volumes will focus on PET and SPECT in neurology and PET and SPECT of neurobiological systems.
Geotechnical Safety and Risk IV
Geotechnical Safety and Risk IV contains the contributions presented at the 4th International Symposium on Geotechnical Safety and Risk (4th ISGSR, Hong Kong, 4-6 December 2013), which was organised under the auspices of the Geotechnical Safety Network (GEOSNet), TC304 on Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment and Management and TC205 on Safety an
Landslides in Sensitive Clays
This book gathers the most recent scientific research on the geological, geotechnical and geophysical aspects of slope failure in sensitive clays. Gathering contributions by international experts, it focuses on understanding the complete and practical spectrum of challenges presented by landslides in such complex materials. Based on sound and validated research results, the book also presents several recommendations that could be implemented in the guidelines or code-of-practice. These recommendations cover topics including the characterization and behavior of sensitive clays; the pre-failure, failure and post-failure stages of sensitive clays; mapping and identification methods; climate cha...
Current Concepts in Pulmonary Pathology, An Issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics - E-Book
Pathology of lung cancers is presented, along with targeted therapies current in 2010. Additionally, asbestosis, mesothelioma, and malignant lymphomas are presented with reference to their features, differential diagnoses, and prognosis. Topics include: Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma; Neuroendocrine tumors; Lung carcinoma staging problems; Targeted therapies in lung cancer; Benign and malignant mesothelial proliferations; Asbestos related lung disease; Primary Lymphoproliferative diseases of the lung; Vasculitis; and Small airway disease.
Asthma
Diagnosing asthma requires knowledge of the multiple conditions that emulate it, and treatment requires addressing factors that modify the disease. This comprehensive, single reference will help practitioners identify and care for co-morbid conditions and improve asthma treatment.
Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry
Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry is an E-book series devoted to reviews on research topics relevant to medicinal chemistry and allied disciplines. Frontiers in Medicinal Chemistry covers developments in rational drug design, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, chemoinformatics, and structure-activity relationships. This E-book series is essential for any medicinal chemist who wishes to be updated on the latest and the most important advances in the field. This volume features reviews on the following topics: • Purinergic receptors and pain • Cytochrome c – cardiolipin interactions in cells • Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) functions and inhibition • Peptides regulating angiogenesis • Application of melanotropin ligands for the treatment of obesity and related disorders • Targeted drugs in the field of nanomedicine
18th International Probabilistic Workshop
This volume presents the proceedings of the 18th International Probabilistic Workshop (IPW), which was held in Guimarães, Portugal in May 2021. Probabilistic methods are currently of crucial importance for research and developments in the field of engineering, which face challenges presented by new materials and technologies and rapidly changing societal needs and values. Contemporary needs related to, for example, performance-based design, service-life design, life-cycle analysis, product optimization, assessment of existing structures and structural robustness give rise to new developments as well as accurate and practically applicable probabilistic and statistical engineering methods to support these developments. These proceedings are a valuable resource for anyone interested in contemporary developments in the field of probabilistic engineering applications.
