This title details the study of the molecular basis by which a vast array of agents encountered in the human environment and produced by the human body itself manifest themselves as toxins. It features the advances in all of the subspecialties of the broad area of molecular toxicology.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was first identified in 1956. Following its discovery, the virus soon became recognised as a major viral pathogen. This volume covers topics ranging from the most basic molecular biology of the virus to the clinical picture of RSV in the developing world.

Covers endothelial biology from the fundamentals of structure and lung fluid balance physiology to descriptions of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of lung failure. This illustrated text provides the knowledge of endothelial function, vascular integrity, pulmonary function, and pathophysiology in respiratory failure.

Properties of chemical compounds and their mixtures are needed in almost every aspect of process and product design. This book provides a presentation of the property estimation models, as well as guidelines on how to select an appropriate model. It also addresses the problems that users are often faced with.

Provides a comprehensive description of rotating shell dynamics. This work not only provides the basic derivation of the dynamic governing equations for rotating shells, but also documents benchmark results for free vibration, critical speed and parametric resonance.

This first volume in the series disucsses such topics as critical realism and the analysis of choice, evolution within equilibrium, financial evolution and innovation, Ludwig Lachmann and his contributions to science, and endogenous change.

Security alarm business companies are finding themselves burdened with the responsibility of preparing corporate mission statements, paradigm analyses, and corporate reengineering plans. This work teaches alarm professionals how to recreate their business "from scratch" for greater selling success.

Covers human organization in the development, introduction and use of new technology as a challenge for human resource development in a changing world. The text focuses on organizational and management issues (macroergonomics) instead of the more traditional microergonomic aspects of human factors.

A compilation of synonyms for drugs, pesticides and other substances of pharmacological or biochemical interest has become even more international and comprehensive in its scope. It presents names such as chemical names, abbreviated chemical names, source names, pharmacological names, pesticide names and names derived from places.

Offers coverage of rapid analysis based on advanced technological developments. This volume summarizes the main developments in the biosensors field over the years. It provides a comprehensive study on the different types of biosensors, including DNA-based, enzymatic, optical, self-assembled monolayers and the third generation of biosensors.

Emphasises on the importance of correct interpretation of pumping requirements, both by the user and the supplier. Incorporating information on pumping technology, this practical handbook helps you to understand the principles of pumping, hydraulics and fluids and defines the various criteria necessary for pump and ancillary selection.

The explosion of information in organic chemistry has presented the chemist with the tedious exercise of searching chemical abstracts for details of a compound or reaction type. These supplements seek to help the reader put this information into perspective.

On January 1988, the ascertained and economically accessible reserves of Natural Gas (NG) amounted to over 144,000 billion cubic meters worldwide, corresponding to 124 billion tons of oil equivalents. This title covers topics that reflect the large global R&D effort to look for economic ways of NG exploitation.

This work includes papers and short contributions based on lectures read at the symposium, contributions based on the posters presented in the poster sessions and in some cases, a workshop report.

Zeolites are the most frequently used industrial catalysts. This work reflects the programme of the first School on Zeolites, held in Prague on August 20-21, 2005. It provides readers with an insight into the synthesis of the spectrum of zeolites, zeotypes and ordered mesoporous materials.

Includes papers originally presented at the 7th annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting (CNS'98) held in July of 1998 in Santa Barbara, California. This work includes papers that range from experimental neurobiology, to neuro-ethology, mathematics, physics, and engineering. It focuses on understanding how nervous systems compute.

Offers an overview of recombinant DNA techniques for the behavioral neuroscientist, with illustrative examples of applications. This book covers species such as rodents, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and Danio rerio. It provides experimental techniques required to characterize the behavioral phenotypes of mutant animals.
