The science of toxicology has progressed considerably since Molecular Toxicology was first published in 1997. New advances in biochemical and molecular biological experimental techniques have helped researchers understand the precise effects of toxins and foreign compounds on living things atthe molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Breakthrough research has recently been completed illuminating the human genome and the role of enzymes in toxic biochemical reaction mechanisms. Toxicology now covers drug metabolism and design, carcinogenesis, programmed cell death, and DNA repair,among other subjects. The second edition captures these and other advances, and broadens its scope to address the experimental science of toxicology. The first edition of Molecular Toxicology has become an indispensable resource for graduate students in molecular and biochemical toxicology courses,as well as academic researchers and industrial researchers in toxicology. Rigorously updated and revised, the new edition commands an unrivaled authority in the field of molecular toxicology.
This is a book on the rise and fall of diasporic communities in Early Modern urban centers in Denmark and Sweden. It contains 17 chapters written by archaeologists, historians and scientists, ranging from in-depth studies of artefacts, biofacts and archaeological features to large-scale analyses of community formation among natives and migrants of multiple origins. The plethora of sources and approaches afforded by the numerous disciplines involved enables a significant new insight into the creation and recreation of migrant communities in these Early Modern towns.
A complete guide for how to design and conduct theory-testing and other case studies, this text sets out structures and guidelines that assist students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines to develop their case study research in a consistent and rigorous manner.
Binnenvaart over de Zuiderzee is zeer belangrijk geweest voor de spectaculaire groei van de vroegmoderne Nederlandse economie (1550-1700). Dat concludeert promovendus Wouter Waldus. Hij heeft voor zijn promotie de vloot van de turfschipperij op de Zuiderzee goed onderbouwd berekend en vergeleken met andere sectoren. Daarnaast heeft hij de Zuiderzee als maritiem transportlandschap volledig in kaart gebracht: vaarroutes, markeringen, redes, etc.. Zo kon hij het unieke karakter van het binnenvaartnetwerk duidelijk maken. Waldus vond tijdens zijn onderzoek ook aanwijzingen voor gezinsbewoning aan boord van binnenschepen rond 1650, veel vroeger dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen.
Nanotechnology safety is the practice of handling engineered nanomaterials in production and manufacturing. Good practice consists of understanding and interpreting Material Safety Data Sheets, behaving safely when working with yet unknown nanomaterials, understanding health effects, and proactively creating safety measures against potential hazards. This book addresses nanotechnology risk management.
" Une philosophie de l'existence comme celle de Karl Jaspers n'est pas seulement l'itinéraire d'une conscience individuelle ; elle fait appel à d'autres consciences individuelles et tente à l'extrême de communiquer avec elles, à la faveur d'un langage commun. Mais en retour, si le langage est commun, la pensée qu'il véhicule ne peut être chaque fois qu'individuelle. Je pense, tu penses, et nul ne peut produire à ma place ce courage et cette docilité par quoi la pensée est toujours l'action intérieure d'un individu. Seuls les mots, l'appareil des concepts, la carcasse des arguments, sont entre les consciences, couchés les livres, radicalement anonymes, et attendant d'être vivifi...
