    • 1st Edition
    • Jeffrey K. Aronson
    • English
    Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the acclaimed Meyler’s Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the practicing biomedical researcher and/or clinician. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on certain cancers, and that minimize damage to normal cells. Oncologists and cancer researchers will rely on this volume to determine effective drug treatments.

  • Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience

    • 1st Edition
    • George F. Koob
    • English
    Behavioral Neuroscientists study the behavior of animals and humans and the neurobiological and physiological processes that control it. Behavior is the ultimate function of the nervous system, and the study of it is very multidisciplinary. Disorders of behavior in humans touch millions of people’s lives significantly, and it is of paramount importance to understand pathological conditions such as addictions, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, autism among others, in order to be able to develop new treatment possibilities. Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience is the first and only multi-volume reference to comprehensively cover the foundation knowledge in the field. This three volume work is edited by world renowned behavioral neuroscientists George F. Koob, The Scripps Research Institute, Michel Le Moal, Université Bordeaux, and Richard F. Thompson, University of Southern California and written by a premier selection of the leading scientists in their respective fields. Each section is edited by a specialist in the relevant area. The important research in all areas of Behavioral Neuroscience is covered in a total of 210 chapters on topics ranging from neuroethology and learning and memory, to behavioral disorders and psychiatric diseases.

  • Coding and Decoding: Seismic Data

    The Concept of Multishooting
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 39
    • Luc T. Ikelle
    • English
    Currently, the acquisition of seismic surveys is performed as a sequential operation in which shots are computed separately, one after the other. This approach is similar to that of multiple-access technology, which is widely used in cellular communications to allow several subscribers to share the same telephone line. The cost of performing various shots simultaneously is almost identical to that of one shot; thus, the savings in time and money expected from using the multishooting approach for computing seismic surveys compared to the current approach are enormous. By using this approach, the long-standing problem of simulating a three-dimensional seismic survey can be reduced to a matter of weeks and not years, as is currently the case.

  • Comprehensive Natural Products II

    Chemistry and Biology
    • 1st Edition
    • Lewis Mander + 1 more
    • English
    This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status of and future trends in natural products—a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and biology concerned with isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and chemical characteristics of naturally occurring compounds such as pheromones, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes. With more than 1,800 color figures, Comprehensive Natural Products II features 100% new material and complements rather than replaces the original work (©1999).

  • Active Geophysical Monitoring

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40
    • English
    Active geophysical monitoring is an important new method for studying time-evolving structures and states in the tectonically active Earth's lithosphere. It is based on repeated time-lapse observations and interpretation of rock-induced changes in geophysical fields periodically excited by controlled sources. In this book, the results of strategic systematic development and the application of new technologies for active geophysical monitoring are presented. The authors demonstrate that active monitoring may drastically change solid Earth geophysics, through the acquisition of substantially new information, based on high accuracy and real-time observations. Active monitoring also provides new means for disaster mitigation, in conjunction with substantial international and interdisciplinary cooperation.

  • Synchrotron-Based Techniques in Soils and Sediments

    • English
    Over the past 20 years, synchrotron-based research applications have provided important insight into the geochemical cycling of ions and the chemical and crystallographic properties of minerals in soils and sediments. Of particular significance is the understanding of local coordination environments with the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The high flux and brightness of the X-ray beams have allowed researchers to work at environmentally relevant concentrations. The use of focusing mirrors and apertures which allow for mapping and trace particle surfaces, microbes, roots, channels and elements at the micron and at a nano-meter scale in 2 and 3D have also been a great enhancement to science. This book provides the most up-to-date information on synchrotron-based research applications in the field of soil, sediment and earth sciences. Invited authors provide chapters on a wide range of research topics including multiphase flow and transport processes (physical aspects), rhizosphere and microbial life (biological aspects), and dynamics of C, N, S, P and heavy metals and metalloids (chemical aspects). In addition, perspectives on the impact of synchrotron based applications, particularly X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the role of synchrotron applications in remediation, regulatory, and decision making processes are considered.

  • Meyler's Side Effects of Analgesics and Anti-inflammatory Drugs

    • 1st Edition
    • Jeffrey K. Aronson
    • English
    Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the acclaimed Meyler’s Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the practicing biomedical researcher and/or clinician. Opioids and analgesics are members of a diverse group of drugs used to relieve pain. They are frequently used in combination with prescription and nonprescription pain relievers, and misuse is prevalent. Pain medicine specialists and physicians or surgeons will find this volume useful in prescribing the appropriate drugs for pain therapy and for preventing misuse of the medication.

  • Compendium of Trace Metals and Marine Biota

    Vol 1: Plants and Invertebrates Vol 2: Vertebrates
    • 1st Edition
    • Ronald Eisler
    • English
    Written over a period of several decades by a national and international authority on trace metals in living marine organisms, the compendium on trace metal concentrations in marine plants and invertebrates has two main objectives. The first is to summarize the available world literature on trace metal and metalloid concentrations in tissues of representative field populations of marine, estuarine, and oceanic [elasmobranchs, fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals] algae and macrophytes, protists, sponges, coelenterates, molluscs, crustaceans, insects, chaetognaths, annelids, echinoderms, and tunicates and their significance to organism health and to the health of their consumers. The following elements are emphasized: aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, boron, cadmium, cerium, cesium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, germanium, gold, iron, lanthanum, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, rhenium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, selenium, silicon, silver, thallium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, yttrium, zinc, and zirconium. The second is to synthesize existing information on biological, chemical and physical factors known to modify uptake, retention, and translocation of each element by selected groups of marine organisms under field and laboratory conditions. Recognition of the importance of these modifiers and their accompanying interactions is essential to the understanding of metals kinetics in marine systems and to the interpretation of baseline residue data in marine [vertebrates] plants and invertebrates.
