Hairy Root Cultures Based Applications
The book discusses the various methods and protocols available in hairy root culture-based research. The utilization of Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation and establishment of hairy root cultures has paved the way for large-scale secondary metabolite production in medicinal plants. Presenting recent research and offering insights from eminent research groups, the book covers a range of topics related to hairy root-based applications, including (i) establishment of hairy roots and native production of SM (ii) yield enhancement strategies for increased SM production, like elicitation (iii) hairy roots as a tool for value-added applications such as plant-microbe interaction, characterization of plant genes and root biology studies. As such it is an informative guide and experimental manual for researchers in diverse fields of plant biology.
Herbs for Health
Most books in the field of medicinal herbs are written for academic or scientific institutions such as universities and research institutes. This book, however, provides a general overview of more than 350 medicinal plants. In addition, it provides an introduction to the subject, the health benefits and secondary metabolites of each plant, its use in herbal teas, as a tincture and herbal syrup, herbal water, or the essential oils in ointments and creams. The book provides brief and straightforward explanations of these plants, accompanied by high-quality, colourful photos.
Effects of Polyphenol-Rich Foods on Human Health
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue " Effects of Polyphenol-Rich Foods on Human Health" that was published in Nutrients
Toxicology
Toxicology: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants examines the nature of oxidative stress as a consequence of exposure to toxins and how antioxidant approaches can mitigate the impact of toxicant exposures. Sections covers the basic biology of oxidative stress, from molecular biology, to physiological pathology, mechanisms of action of specific toxicants, metals and other chemicals/drugs, and antioxidant approaches and therapies for toxic exposures. With contributions from an international group of experts, useful summary sections, a dictionary of terms, and applications to other areas of toxicology, this book is an informative, consolidated reference that helps bridge the interrelationship between toxicology, oxidative stress and antioxidants. - Provides a novel collection of information linking both sides of redox biology (oxidants and antioxidants) and toxicology - Explores the role of free radical mediated damage and toxicology - Contains contributions from experts on toxicological science surrounding oxidative stress and on antioxidant approaches for reducing the impact of toxicant exposures
INTEGRATION OF SCIENTIFIC AND MODERN IDEAS INTO PRACTICE
Proceedings of the VIII International Scientific and Practical Conference
New Microhistorical Approaches to an Integrated History of the Holocaust
In 1997, Saul Friedländer emphasized the need for an integrated history of the Holocaust. His suggestion to connect ‘the policies of the perpetrators, the attitudes of surrounding society, and the world of the victims’ provides the inspiration for this volume. Following in these footsteps, this innovative study approaches Holocaust history through a combination of macro analysis with micro studies. Featuring a range of contemporary research from emerging scholars in the field, this peer-reviewed volume provides detailed engagement with a variety of historical sources, such as documents, artifacts, photos, or text passages. The contributors investigate particular aspects of sound, materiality, space and social perceptions to provide a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, which have often been overlooked or generalised in previous historical research. Yet, as we approach an era of no first hand witnesses, this multidisciplinary, micro-historical approach remains a fundamental aspect of Holocaust research, and can provide a theoretical framework for future studies.
Foundations of Intelligent Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems, ISMIS 2011, held in Warsaw, Poland, in June 2011. The 71 revised papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on rough sets - in memoriam Zdzisław Pawlik, challenges in knowledge discovery and data mining - in memoriam Jan Żytkov, social networks, multi-agent systems, theoretical backgrounds of AI, machine learning, data mining, mining in databases and warehouses, text mining, theoretical issues and applications of intelligent web, application of intelligent systems in sound processing, intelligent applications in biology and medicine, fuzzy sets theory and applications, intelligent systems, tools and applications, and contest on music information retrieval.
Limiting Privilege
State socialism tried to industrialize, urbanize, encourage the more frequent washing of hands, urge people to leave the church, emancipate women, and electrify cities—all within a single lifetime. Central to these initiatives was extending educational opportunities to the working class and creating a vision of an egalitarian socialist university that offered advancement for all. Limiting Privilege: Upward Mobility Within Higher Education in Socialist Poland traces the possibilities and limits of this goal by looking at a model socialist university established in 1945 in the working-class city of Łódź, Poland. Initially a flagship project of socialist modernization, the university tried to offer social advancement by privileging admission for peasant and working-class children, but these efforts were often fought by the elite who sought to preserve their privilege. By looking at first-generation students, intelligentsia faculty, and an industrial city, Limiting Privilege explores a complex story about utopian visions, failed aspirations, and reluctant academia.
Bi- and Multilingualism from Various Perspectives of Applied Linguistics
This volume comprises 16 chapters – both research papers and theoretical contributions – grouped in three thematic sections. The chapters in the first part, entitled "Discourse Communities: Languages in Contact," adopt a social and/or historical perspective on bi-/multilingualism. The contributions in the second part, entitled "Languages in the Mind: Language Development and Language Use," view issues related to bi- and multilingualism from psycholinguistic and psychological perspectives. The chapters comprising the third part, "Language Education: Supporting Multilingual Development," adopt a broadly understood didactic perspective on bi-/multilingualism.
