    • English
    Improving Stress Resilience in Plants: Physiological and Biochemical Basis and Utilization in Breeding addresses the urgent need for improved understanding of major plant stress tolerance mechanisms, the identification of the genes, and gene products that are key to improving those mechanisms and means of optimizing those genes through molecular approaches. With a focus on plant physiological and biochemical attributes at both cellular and whole plant levels, this book includes the latest information on crosstalk between the various signaling molecules and quantitative trait locus (QTL). Further, it explores the extension of these mechanisms to breeding approaches, confirming overall understanding and inspiring further research. Written by a team of global experts, and presented in three thematic sections, the book provides insights into physical adaptations, metabolism and pathways, and breeding techniques including CRISPR and conventional approaches to reduce the negative effects of stresses and improve crop yield even under stress conditions. It is an ideal resource for researchers, academics and advanced students seeking to improve stress tolerance among crop plants and developing key future strategies for sustainable food production.

  • Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy

    From Basic Science to Clinical Practice
    • 1st Edition
    • Michael G. Fehlings
    • English
    Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: From Basic Science to Clinical Practice lays the foundation for understanding DCM manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment strategies. The book covers the latest basic and clinical research, updates on patient management strategies, and discusses promising neuroprotective therapies for the future of DCM care. Written by international experts across a range of topics related to degenerative cervical myelopathy, the book helps readers understand the challenges and future directions of patient management. As degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the leading cause of spinal cord dysfunction and one of the most common indications for spinal surgery worldwide, the term DCM encompasses a group of chronic, non-traumatic spinal cord injuries that occur due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine (e.g. disc spondylosis or repetitive dynamic injury from hyper-mobility).

  • Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations

    EnvisionSMARTâ„¢: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation
    • 1st Edition
    • Helena Maguire + 4 more
    • English
    Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART™: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation covers these HSO groups, both public and private, who have one main goal, to enhance human well-being. These organizations provide a variety of services for both children and adults, including mental health care and educational programs. With decreases in federal funding, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure adequate services to their patients, it is vital that HSOs adopt an effective model. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs. This book demonstrates how to develop an educational program within HSOs while adhering to state and federal guidelines. It then reviews various evidence-based instructional methodologies, including discrete trial training, errorless learning, and incidental teaching. Finally, the authors provide instructions and templates on how to record students’ progress helping to drive data informed decisions.
