Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of interactions among behavioral, neural and endocrine, and immunologic processes of adaptation. These two volumes provide a clearly written, extensively referenced summary of some of the behavioral, neural and endocrine regulators of immune responses and immunologically mediated disease processes and of the behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of immune system activity. Several chapters expand upon topics reviewed in earlier editions of this series; most chapters cover active areas of research that have not previously been reviewed. As illustrated in this fourth edition, interdisciplinary research continues to provide evidence that the brain and immune sy...
The discipline of neuroimmunomodulation is devoted to interactions between the immune nervous systems at all levels and includes observation on brain, pituitary, peripheral nervous system and immune cells. Nitric oxide synthase is contained within neurons in the brain and modifies behavioural and hormonal responses by acting on other neurons and on release of peptides and other transmitters through activation of guanylate cyclase and cyclooxygenase. Increases in this and in expression of proinflammatory cytokines can contribute to damage in patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, meningitis, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease.
Parlare di Cultura dell'acqua e progettazione paesistica significa, anzitutto, confrontarsi con la complessità dell'elemento "acqua". Liquido incolore e insapore, origine dell'umanità, "oro blu" del pianeta, protagonista dinamico, camaleontico ed imprevedibile del territorio, componente del paesaggio in perenne trasformazione nei confini, nelle forme, mai eguale a se stesso, con valenze simboliche, rituali e metafisiche difficilmente eguagliabili. Parlare di Cultura dell'acqua e progettazione paesistica significa affrontare la questione della sostenibilità in termini ecologico-ambientali, economici, etici. Parlare di Cultura dell'acqua e progettazione paesistica significa porre l'accento ...
Este libro es el resultado de una doble apuesta por parte del Instituto del Agua y de las Ciencias Ambientales. Por una parte, trata de profundizar en la importancia del agua en el territorio europeo y, por otra, ampliar el abanico disciplinar desde el que se estudian los fenómenos asociados a los territorios marítimos, fluviales y humedales.La valoración del agua como elemento paisajístico en las ciudades y el territorio es relativamente muy reciente. El mar, los ríos y las zonas húmedas han sido tradicionalmente, bien un medio de comunicación con valor económico, o bien un problema hidráulico con el que convivir. En el libro se recogen las aportaciones de una red internacional de investigadores sobre la condición territorial y urbana vinculada a los espacios del agua. Estos trabajos se desarrollan en diferentes ámbitos y territorios.
The book collects the proceedings of the First National Conference promoted and organized by the Center ‘Planning Viable Sustainability with Emerging Regions’ (PVS), Department of Planning, Design, Technology of Architecture (PDTA), Sapienza University of Rome in March of 2014. The Conference and the book also, has been organized in two parallel sections. ‘Resources & Public’ were collected: papers about the resources’ use in order to develop different processes of planning, production and consumptions in favor of the improvement of the local and rural communities. ‘Needs & Valorization’ were collected: papers about interventions which try to reply to the needs related to the h...
Esta obra resulta de um projeto internacional, desenvolvido em 4 países. Trata-se de uma versão em português, revista e abreviada, do livro “Acqua come patrimonio – Esperienze e savoir faire nella riqualificazione delle cita d’acqua e dei paesaggi fluviali” (organização de Romeo Farinella, editora Aracne, Roma). Está dividida em 3 partes. Numa primeira parte é enunciada a problemática. Na segunda parte, sob a forma de Atlas, é feito um diagnóstico dos 4 territórios. Por fim, na terceira parte, apresentam-se os 4 projetos de intervenção, consubstanciando ideias e propostas concretas para os territórios abrangidos pelo projeto. Inseridos em contextos muito díspares, sob ...
