  • Nano-Biopesticides Today and Future Perspectives

    • 1st Edition
    • Opender Koul
    • English
    Nano-Biopesticides Today and Future Perspectives is the first single-volume resource to examine the practical development, implementation and implications of combining the environmentally aware use of biopesticides with the potential power of nanotechnology. While biopesticides have been utilized for years, researchers have only recently begun exploring delivery methods that utilize nanotechnology to increase efficacy while limiting the negative impacts traditionally seen through the use of pest control means. Written by a panel of global experts, the book provides a foundation on nano-biopesticide development paths, plant health and nutrition, formulation and means of delivery. Researchers in academic and commercial settings will value this foundational reference of insights within the biopesticide realm.

    • English
    Engineering Energy Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) and its Application discusses this group of aluminum fibers that are characterized by their lightweight, high tensile strength, large current-carrying capacity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and small, linear expansion coefficient which make the ACCC of carbon fiber the most promising new conductor species. With the development of this technology and the reduction in product price, the ACCC of carbon fiber can play an important role in power grid construction and upgrading. The book contains a large number of practical engineering application examples and problems found in practical operation and maintenance. It is an ideal reference, providing theoretical and practical support for those in electrical engineering, aluminum conductors and overhead transmission lines.

  • Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

    • 1st Edition
    • Jay Chhablani
    • English
    Central Serous Chorioretinopathy discusses the mechanisms, pathogenesis and risk factors of CSCR, findings on various imaging modalities, available treatment options, and translational research into new treatment options for CSCR management. This comprehensive book is written for retina specialists and surgeons, researchers and clinical practitioners in sensory systems (vision), and ophthalmologists. Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a common disorder across the world with a variable prognosis without any standard of care. Recently, advancements in imaging have led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and mechanisms of this disease.

  • Handbook of Sleep Disorders in Medical Conditions

    • 1st Edition
    • Josee Savard + 1 more
    • English
    Handbook of Sleep Disorders in Medical Conditions reviews the current knowledge on the nature and manifestations of sleep disorders associated with a variety of common medical conditions, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and dementia. It also provides clinical guidelines on how to assess and treat them with pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Although the general principles of sleep medicine may be applied to some extent to patients with comorbid medical conditions, this book makes the case that an adaptive approach is warranted when considering the particularities of each condition. In addition, clinicians must also be cautious when prescribing sleep medications as some pharmacological agents are known to exacerbate symptoms associated with the medical condition, such as cognitive deficits (i.e. difficulties with memory and attention) in cancer patients experiencing chemo brain, or in persons with neurologic conditions (e.g. mild cognitive impairment, dementia, stroke, brain injury). A differential approach to evaluating and treating sleep is thus warranted.
