    • English
    Antimicrobial Therapeutics and Drug Discovery is a comprehensive resource that provides an overview of antimicrobial drug discovery. It covers a wide spectrum of pathogenic organisms causing human infections, exploring alternative therapeutic strategies beyond traditional small molecule drugs. The contents in the book are structured into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of antimicrobial drug discovery. From exploring viral and host targets, understanding antibiotic resistance mechanisms, to the potential of nanomedicine and computational approaches, the book offers a comprehensive view of the field. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, chapters discuss the importance of drug discovery for fungi, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma, and parasites, and offers insights into innovative biomedical approaches and combination therapies. By bridging the gap between experimental research and practical application, Antimicrobial Therapeutics and Drug Discovery is a key reference for pharmacologists and pharmaceutical scientists working in academic and corporate research. Medicinal chemists and microbiologists will also benefit from the multidisciplinary coverage of the book.

  • Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment

    • 1st Edition
    • Vincenzo Dentamaro + 2 more
    • English
    Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment explores cutting-edge, non-invasive techniques for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. The book focuses on behavioral biometrics, which analyzes patterns in a person’s actions rather than directly measurable traits. By utilizing artificial intelligence methods—like machine learning and deep neural networks—it enables the observation of subtle changes in gait, handwriting, and speech. These advanced approaches offer promise for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, potentially improving outcomes for millions affected by conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases through timely intervention and personalized care.In addition to its core coverage, the book delves into the practical applications of wearable sensors and the use of everyday devices like smartphones and tablets in assessments. It provides comprehensive chapters on how these technologies can aid clinicians and researchers in monitoring disease progression outside traditional clinical settings.

  • Ecotourism and Wildlife Conservation in the Anthropocene

    • 1st Edition
    • David B. Weaver
    • English
    Ecotourism and Wildlife Conservation in the Anthropocene innovates by demonstrating ecotourism as an inclusive industry positioned to mobilize all people as agents of wildlife conservation. The Anthropocene and post-1950 "Great Acceleration" of human populations have dramatically altered our planet, and ecotourism is often framed as a niche activity that has limited potential to promote conservation of regional biodiversity. By showing that ecotourism as a sustainable, educational, and nature-focused activity can occur anywhere, the sector can better support the preservation and rehabilitation of diverse environments, networks, and natural communities. Accordingly, Ecotourism and Wildlife Conservation in the Anthropocene presents a cogent argument for a new management paradigm based on broader parameters of engagement. Here, all people are empowered to co-create a better future. Concurrently, the book provides practical advice for achieving this future through the examination of relevant real-world management considerations. For students and young professionals in the wildlife conservation discipline, the book conveys the growing importance of ecotourism as a vehicle for preserving and rehabilitating threatened habitats, flora, and fauna. Frequent case studies focused on Crawford Lake provide a focal point that personifies the parameters and possibilities of ecotourism in the Anthropocene and helps to integrate the comprehensive scope of this book.
