This book brings together in one volume the current state of ageing research in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The authors are leading researchers in the field, placing this topic in the context of human ageing, describing how and why basic discoveries in this simple organism have impacted our prospects for intervention in the ageing process.

Ageing is the single most important factor determining the onset of human disease in ...
This collection addresses many of the issues arising from the management of religious and cultural diversity in a multicultural society and refers to the complex relationship between the right to religious freedom and security. In recent decades, and particularly since September 2001, the right to religious freedom, which has hitherto been widely protected, has come up against a significant challenge in terms of security, or rather, in the subjectively and publicly perceived feelings of security. This book collects original theoretical, legal and comparative contributions addressing several implications for the right to freedom of religion or belief through the lens of security. It offers a ...
È un'impresa fare impresa in Italia. Qualcuno se n'è andato, qualcuno sta pensando di andarsene o se ne andrà per mettere in atto il proprio progetto all'estero. Altri invece sono rimasti, o rimarranno per realizzare qui la propria idea d'impresa. Folle? Forse sì, ma non impossibile, anche ora che la crisi sembra non aver fine. Questo vademecum per l'imprenditore "pazzo" (o per chi vuole diventarlo) presenta 15 semplici consigli - e molte esperienze - per chi non si arrende al declino del made in Italy, ed è convinto di poter realizzare un'idea vincente nel nostro Paese, "nonostante" l'Italia. Nato da un progetto sorto nel cuore della Toscana, tra le colline del Chianti e il centro dell...
Cancer: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants bridges the trans-disciplinary divide and covers in a single volume the science of oxidative stress in cancer and then the potentially therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet or food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are described in concert with other processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling, and receptor mediated responses. This approach recognizes that diseases are often multifactorial and that oxidative stress is a single component of this. Oncologists, cancer researchers, and nutritionists are separated by divergent skills and professional disciplines that need to be bridged in order to advance...
Nella storia medievale del territorio veneto gli anni successivi alla conclusione del dominio di Ezzelino III da Romano (1259-1260) costituiscono un periodo cruciale, nel quale si assestano in modo definitivo i nuclei urbani di Verona, Vicenza, Padova e Treviso, le quattro grandi citta della pianura che da sempre costituiscono la spina dorsale mediana della regione. Vicenza, in particolare, conosce negli anni Sessanta del Duecento la stagione, breve ma importantissima, della piena affermazione come Comune politicamente autonomo, guidato dietro le quinte, con discrezione, sapienza e abilita, dal grande intuito politico e dalla sorprendente consapevolezza 'laica' degli interessi della comunita...
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
