      Climate Change, Public Health, and Regional Security in the Indo-Pacific: From Mitigation to Adaptation addresses the absence of solutions to looming and inevitable regional security, health, and environmental threats. To date, there has not been a comprehensive solution-based focus on climate change in the region that includes subjects such as acceptance of the consequences; implications for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief; the role of defense forces in managing migration, climate refugees, infectious diseases, and related issues such as flooding or land use change; and a further focus on climate change and implications for public health in the Indo-Pacific. This book addresses these issues and provides strategies for those living and working in the region. Written by regional experts for public health, security, and climate change practitioners, researchers and experts, as well as regional and international policymakers and opinion leaders in the area.

      Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions: Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids explores the complex relationship between environmental factors and the intricate protein folding process. Through detailed analysis, the book investigates how conditions such as water and membrane environments can influence the transformation of globular proteins into amyloids, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of misfolding. Central to its approach is the fuzzy oil drop model (FOD-M), which quantitatively measures the impact of external stimuli on protein structure. This resource is invaluable for those seeking to understand how external forces drive folding and misfolding at the molecular level.Beyond its foundational exploration of amyloid transformation, the book provides a thorough introduction to model simulation hypotheses and evaluates the significance of environmental changes on protein behavior. It addresses the importance of accurately representing external conditions and how these variations contribute to altered folding pathways.
