Veterinary medicineOctober 2004GIS and Spatial Analysis in Veterinary Science
by Edited by Peter Durr, Anthony Gatrell
The use of geographical information systems (including remote sensing) and spatial analysis in public health is now widespread. Its importance and potential for the monitoring of animal diseases has never been greater with the recent outbreaks of BSE and Foot-and-Mouth Disease. GIS and Spatial Analysis in Veterinary Science is the first book to review how such practices can be applied to veterinary science. Topics covered include the application of GIS to epidemic disease response, to companion animal epidemiology and to the management of wildlife diseases. It also covers the parallels with human health and spatial statistics in the biomedical sciences.

Basavaraj, Zeenat Iqbal, Krutika K Sawant, S G Gattani, Vishal V Pande
Natural polymers have been utilized extensively in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, oil drilling and paint industries. Their non-toxic and inexpensive attributes readily enhance their commercial acceptability and make them potent agents in lieu of synthetic polymers. This book explores the opportunistic utility of natural polymers in developing effective drug delivery systems and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of their source, chemical structure and mechanism of action. Covering novel polymers for drug delivery - in particular extracts from plants, microorganisms and proteins, as well as water soluble and water insoluble biodegradable polymers - it presents an encyclopaedic overview of natural polymers': - quintessential roles in binding drugs towards enhancing bioavailability - modification and derivatization for targeted delivery - role as active drugs Natural Polymers for Drug Delivery is an invaluable resource for researchers, students and industrial scientists in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology and food science. ; This book provides an overview of the source, chemical structure and action mechanism of natural polymers.

Das Wesen der Moral
Eine Einführung in die Ethik
by Gilbert Harman
Gilbert Harman ist Professor für Philosophie an der Princeton University. Er ist Autor von Thought (1973); Herausgeber von On Noam Chomsky (1974); zusammen mit Donald Davidson Herausgeber von Semantics of Natural Language (1971) und The Logic of Grammar (1975). Die linguistic philosophy hatte die philosophische Ethik auf die sog. Meatethik, die Beschreibung der Sprache der Moral, beschränkt und sie von allen inhaltlichen Fragen, die der sogenannten normativen Ethik zugewiesen wurde, abgetrennt. Die Kritik, die Quine und andere an der Sprachphilosophie geübt haben, hat jedoch Harman zufolge gezeigt, daß sich die Philosophie nicht auf bedeutungstheoretische Fragen zu beschränken braucht und daß die Trennung zwischen Fragen der Bedeutung und Fragen des Inhalts überhaupt problematisch ist. Die Philosophen haben jedoch lange Zeit nicht gesehen, daß das für die Ethik zur Folge hat, daß die Trennung zwischen Metaethik und normativer Ethik unhaltbar ist. Als das Interesse an der Metaethik nachließ, haben sie sich daher, statt die Ethik grundsätzlich anders anzugehen, Einzelfragen der normativen Ethik zugewandt. Auf diese Weise gewannen Einführungsveranstaltungen in die Ethik und die entsprechenden Bücher zwar an Aktualität und »Relevanz«, die eigentlich philosophischen Fragen aber gingen dabei verloren. Dieser Tendenz will Harman mit seinem Buch entgegenwirken.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

January 2021Cancer nutrition and dietary guidance
China Chronic Disease Nutrition and Dietary Guidance Series
by Li Zengning
The audio-visual products and series of books of "Nutrition and Dietary Guidance for Chronic Diseases in China" were compiled by the Nutrition and Metabolism Management Branch of the China Association for the Promotion of International Health Care and Nutrition and nine major hospitals. This book describes the relationship between various foods and tumors, and how to eat for tumor patients. Recent studies have proved that environmental factors may be an important factor in the incidence of tumors. Among them, eating habits, insufficient nutrient intake, excessive intake or imbalance between nutrients are all important aspects. The tumors affected by the above factors mainly include esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer and lung cancer. The pollutants in the diet, such as aflatoxin, aggravate the lack and imbalance of certain nutrients, thereby enhancing the carcinogenic effect. Nutrient intake is directly related to tumor occurrence, development, treatment effect, quality of life and survival period.
