Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem with extremely complex epidemiology involving the direct and indirect transmission of antibiotic resistant pathogens and mobile genetic elements between humans, animals, and the environment. AMR is, therefore, recognized as a ‘One Health’ issue. Data that describe AMR prevalence and trends are required to enable the judicious and prudent use of antimicrobials in animals, which has implications both from veterinary and animal welfare aspects as well as from a zoonotic and public health perspective. Horses are a potential reservoir of AMR for humans due to close human–animal contact, as was demonstrated with shared human and horse methic...
This book covers sustainable approaches for industrial transformation pertaining to valorization of agro-industrial byproducts. Divided into four sections, it starts with information about the agro/food industry and its byproducts, including their characterization, followed by different green technologies (principle, process strategies and extraction of bioactive compounds) applied for the management of agro industry byproducts. It further explains biotechnological interventions involved in the value addition of these byproducts. Various regulatory and environmental concerns related to by-product management along with biorefinery concept and future strategies are provided as well. Features: ...

Advances in genomic and proteomic profiling of disease have transformed the field of molecular diagnostics, thus leading the way for a major revolution in clinical practice. While the range of tests for disease detection and staging is rapidly expanding, many physicians lack the knowledge required to determine which tests to order and how to interpret results. Molecular Diagnostics provides a complete guide to the use and interpretation of molecular testing in the clinical arena. No other available resource offers this emphasis, comprehensive scope, and practical utility in the clinical setting. - Serves as the definitivereference for molecular pathologists worldwide - Covers a variety of molecular techniques including next generation sequencing, tumor somatic cell genotyping, infectious and genetic disease tecting, and pharmacogenetics - Discusses in the detail issues concerning quality assurance, regulation, ethics, and future directions for the science
Over the course of her long life, Ezzat-Malek Soudavar (1913-2014) assembled an exemplary collection of Persian lacquerware, including book covers, mirror cases, and intricately designed pen cases created by Iran's leading lacquer artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These nearly two hundred examples of refined Persian lacquerware are recent gifts from Abolala Soudavar to Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and to the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, DC. Essays address the history and major lacquer artists of the Safavid and Qajar eras as well as the materials and techniques of Persian lacquerwork. Detailed highlights and an illustrated catalogue of the Soudavar collection complete this insightful look into the beauty and complexities of Persian lacquer.
"Tavory takes readers to the heart of the exhilarating--at times exhausting--life of the Beverly-La Brea Orthodox community. Just blocks from West Hollywood’s nightlife, the Orthodox community thrives next to the impure sights, sounds, and smells. But to sustain this life, as Tavory shows, is not simply a moral decision to be made. People find themselves summoned both into social life and into their identity as Orthodox Jews as they are called upon by organizations and prayer quorums or the nods of strangers and whiffs of unkosher food floating through the street. In this fascinating ethnography, we come away with a better understanding of the dynamics of social worlds, identity, interaction and self--not only in Beverly-La Brea, but in society at large."--Provided by publisher.
