Monitoring Atmospheric Water Vapour
Atmospheric water plays a key role in climate. Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas and its condensed forms exert a profound influence on both incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation. Unfortunately, accurate, height-resolved global-scale measurements of atmospheric humidity are difficult to obtain. The change in concentration of five orders of magnitude form the ground to the stratosphere means there is no standard instrument that will measure everywhere. This has led to different measuring techniques, all with strengths and weaknesses. This book assesses all presently available techniques that are used in monitoring networks. Special weight is given to presenting the different technical concepts, the accuracy of different sensor types, addresses calibration issues and retrieval aspects.

WHO clinical consortium on healthy ageing 2023
The 2023 annual meeting of the World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Consortium on Healthy Ageing (CCHA) took place in Geneva, Switzerland in December 2023. It was the group’s ninth gathering. The meeting consisted of seven panels of presentation and discussion taking place across three days: 1.WHO’s new initiatives on ageing and health 2.Musculoskeletal health 3.Implementation of the ICOPE approach 4.Emerging themes to strengthen integrated care 5.Updating ICOPE care pathways 6.Multidimensional approach to research on healthy ageing 7.CCHA and GNLTC joint panel: Continuum of integrated care for older people
Handbook of Air Quality and Climate Change
This handbook covers the air quality/air pollution from the viewpoints of causing impacts on human/ecosystem health and climate change. Traditionally, air pollution has been a concern mainly in terms of its impacts on human health, and it is still an immediate public and governmental concern in most Asian countries. However, in recent years so-called extreme weather events, such as stronger tropical cyclones, flooding, drought, and other phenomena, have been manifested causing tremendous losses of human lives and properties. Importantly, climate models tell us that such extreme weather events are actually induced by anthropogenic global warming. It has been pointed out that mitigation or all...
Nineteenth International Laser Radar Conference
This publication contains extended abstracts of papers presented at the Nineteenth International Laser Radar Conference, held at Annapolis, Maryland, July 6-10, 1998; 260 papers were presented in both oral and poster sessions. The topics of the conference sessions were Aerosol Clouds, Multiple Scattering; Tropospheric Profiling, Stratospheric/Mesospheric Profiling; Wind Profiling; New Lidar Technology and Techniques; Lidar Applications, Including Altimetry and Marine; Space and Future Lidar; and Lidar Commercialization/Eye Safety. This conference reflects the breadth of research activities being conducted in the lidar field. These abstracts address subjects from lidar-based atmospheric investigations, development of new lasers and lidar system technology, and current and future space-based lidar systems.
Evidence-Based Pediatric Oncology
Using the available systematic reviews and Standard OptionsRecommendations (SORs) which are evidence-based treatmentrecommendations, Evidence-based Pediatric Oncology is aground breaking text on the management of childhood cancers.Covering all tumour types occuring in children and young adults, itprovides systematic reviews with recommendations for optimumtreatments for childhood cancer. Offering reviews and commentaries from leading internationallyrecognised paediatric oncologists, this fully revised secondedition now covers significant randomised controlled trails.
Professeur Le
Au commencement était le roman de Charlotte Brontë, The Professor. Se peut-il que, dans un livre si ancien, nous puissions déchiffrer le sens et la fonction de la pratique enseignante contemporaine? Croisement des destins, au-delà du temps et des morts. Là résident le mystère et la force d'évocation de la littéra-ture, son caractère prémonitoire, son pouvoir d'actualité. Au terme d'une carrière « enchanteresse» et grâce à une relecture d'une œuvre de Charlotte Brontë, le professeur à la retraite Réal La Rochelle renouvelle sa passion des livres et de l'enseignement. En se remémorant les lieux, l'enthousiasme de la jeunesse, le bouillonnement de la vie intellectuelle, l'auteur reconnaît sa chance. À la fin, dans une sorte de mémorial, il exprime sa gratitude en recopiant les noms de tous ses étudiants.
Telomeres
Telomeres are specialized DNA–protein structures that protect the ends of chromosomes to maintain their integrity. They are chromosome sentinels. This book, written by multiple authors, presents current knowledge and the most recent discoveries relating to telomeres. The first chapters describe telomere structures (DNA and proteins), organization, dynamics and replication in a range of organisms including ciliates, yeast and mammals. The following chapters cover mechanisms that maintain telomere length involving telomerase and Alternative Lengthening Telomeres (ALT) mechanisms. Interestingly, telomeres are transcribed into repetitive RNA called TERRA (Telomeric repeat-containing RNA), the state of the art regarding mammalian telomere transcripts is presented here. Two chapters are dedicated to the description of how telomere biology impacts the development of cancer and how their disfunctions induce telomeropathies (telomere biology disorders). Finally, the book ends with a chapter presenting telomere and telomerase targeting agents as potential anticancer agents, a promising therapeutic approach.
Statistical Genomics
This volume provides a collection of protocols from researchers in the statistical genomics field. Chapters focus on integrating genomics with other “omics” data, such as transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and thorough, Statistical Genomics hopes that by covering these diverse and timely topics researchers are provided insights into future directions and priorities of pan-omics and the precision medicine era.
