  • Quantum Health AI

    The Revolution of Medicine, Public Health, and Global Health by Quantum Computing-Powered Artificial Intelligence
    • 1st Edition
    • Dominique J. Monlezun
    • English
    Quantum Health AI: The Revolution of Medicine, Public Health, and Global Health is the first comprehensive book defining the transformation of the global health ecosystem by the fusion of our most powerful technologies—quantum computing and artificial intelligence—while defending an actionable human-centred approach to doing so responsibly, equitably, and sustainably. We can continue to watch wars, diseases, poverty, polarization, cyber-crime, and climate change only worsen. Our strongest technologies can remain centralized in a small number of companies and countries for their profit and power. Or we can cooperatively put quantum AI to work for the health of all of us, by better managing this technology’s overarching strategic competition between democracies and autocracies, along with the public and private sectors (balancing human security with national security, economic growth with household livelihoods, individual rights with the common good). This book draws on the decade plus of original research and first-hand perspective of the world’s first triple doctorate-trained physician-data scientist and AI ethicist. It unpacks the history, science, values, and political economics framing and driving quantum AI (including its physics, metaphysics, ethics, governance, computing, sensing, communication, materials, and security), the global health ecosystem (healthcare systems, public health agencies, biotechnology companies, and development institutions), and their growing integration, wins, and challenges. This one-stop book provides a global, inclusive, and practical guide for understanding and shaping these societal and technological trends. It thus empowers health, technology, and policy students, practitioners, professionals, researchers, and leaders in organizations, universities, companies, and governments—ultimate... to make and maintain the human-centred quantum AI safeguarding and advancing humanity’s health, home, and future.

  • Ecology for the 21st century

    • 1st Edition
    • Orianna Carter
    • English
    Ecology for the 21st Century is a comprehensive, beginner-friendly, introductory textbook that provides students with an ecological perspective on our changing world. Suitable for both non-majors and majors-level ecology courses, this textbook presents clear and wide ranging coverage, including many current examples and topics. Applying a student-centric approach with dynamic examples and case studies, the book's ecological principles emerge through topics students care to learn more about. The ‘twin-evils’ of atmospheric carbon and ocean acidification are explored through investigations on the health of coral reef ecosystems.In addition, populations and species dynamics are introduced using classical modeling parameters. This textbook drives home the delicate balance of the natural world through regional issues surrounding endangered versus invasive species. Themes of resource acquisition, adaptation, and evolution of species are reinforced throughout, encouraging students to envision an ecologically driven world.

    • English
    Regulated Cell Death in Neurodegenerative Disorders is a comprehensive exploration of the mechanisms and implications of RCD within the realm of neurodegenerative diseases. The book delves into various forms of RCD such as apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy-mediated cell death, shedding light on their specific roles in disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington’s. Written by leading experts, each chapter offers unique insights into cellular demise, providing valuable information on treatment options and therapeutic targets. The book features 14 chapters that cover molecular, cellular, and pharmacological mechanisms from an applied science perspective.Topics include the importance of chaperones, kinases, growth factors, inflammaging, mitochondrial dynamics, and oxidative stress. It presents targeted strategies to prevent cell death, reflecting ongoing pursuits in understanding and innovating treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. By offering therapeutic strategies to modulate RCD, this book not only shares knowledge but also provides hope for future advancements in combating these debilitating conditions.

  • Environmentally Safe Strategies for Plant Protection Against Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
