Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the concept of history began, humans undoubtedly acquired life benefits by discovering medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) that were food and medicine. Today, a variety of available herbs and spices are used and enjoyed throughout the world and continue to promote good health. The international market is also quite welcoming for MAPs and essential oils. The increasing environment and nature conscious buyers encourage producers to produce high quality essential oils. These consumer choices lead to growing preference for organic and herbal based products in the world market. As the benefits of medicinal and aromatic plants are recognized, these plants will have a special role for humans in the future. Until last century, the production of botanicals relies to a large degree on wild-collection. However, the increasing commercial collection, largely unmonitored trade, and habitat loss lead to an incomparably growing pressure on plant populations in the wild. Therefore, medicinal and aromatic plants are of high priority for conservation. Given the above, we bring forth a comprehensive volume, “Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Healthcare and Industrial Applications”, highlighting the various healthcare, industrial and pharmaceutical applications that are being used on these immensely important MAPs and its future prospects. This collection of chapters from the different areas dealing with MAPs caters to the need of all those who are working or have interest in the above topic.

Book excerpt: This book presents a biography of Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize for Science (Physics 1979), who was nevertheless excommunicated and branded as a heretic in his own country. His achievements are often overlooked, even besmirched. Realizing that the whole world had to be his stage, he pioneered the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, a vital focus of Third World science which remains as his monument. A staunch Muslim, he was ashamed of the decline of science in the heritage of Islam, and struggled doggedly to restore it to its former glory. Undermined by his excommunication, these valiant efforts were doomed.

Download or read book Low Level Environmental Radioactivity written by Richard Tykva and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-04-13 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction Low-level radioactivity is related to those radioactive sources of ionizing radiation that are characterized by low activities. Sometimes activity here does not represent total amount of radionuclides but rather their concentration. In other cases, the total activity may be quite high, but we can measure only a relatively small portion of the material. "Low" may have, for different situations and circumstances, not only considerably different meanings but also different absolute values as far as the activity or activity concentration is concerned. For example, one can refer to low activity in the case of radiocarbon dating, where the concentration of 14C is actually lower than its natural concentration, and also in the case of radon monitoring where, especially in mines or in some enclosed spaces, its concentration may be several thousand times higher than the outdoor "atural" concentrations. Emphasis is now being placed on the analysis of naturally occurring radionuclides in the environment or on the release of radionuclides from their different man-made sources because liquid and aerial discharge level controls have become more rigorous. In addition, the applicability of low-level methodology increases the extent of different radionuclide applications considerably. Since individual radionuclides differ in their decay scheme and particles emitted as well in their energies, there is no universal method for the accurate measurement of all radioactive sources. Moreover, there is usually a mixture of radionuclides in a sample, causing some difficulties in a selective evaluation of a given radionuclide. Due to the random nature of radioactive disintegrations, the appropriate interpretation of the experimental results would be, in most cases, impossible without elaborate statistical treatment and evaluation of the data obtained. Thanks to the availability of computer-based instrumentation, the measuring data can be, in most cases, processed and evaluated on-line, which makes it possible to control and optimize the experiment in order to extract the maximum amount of information carried by the detector response. The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to low-level radioactivity assessment and to clarify the nature of its sources, as well as the principal methods used in its measurement. Our evaluation is concentrated on the present-day aspects of low-level methodology. The book may be useful for all who need highly sensitive analysis of natural or artificial radioactivity both within and outside the nuclear field. The attempt of this book is to summarize the sources of environmental radioactivity and their possible radiological impact in terms of resulting doses to the population, and to present a sound review of the measuring methods and techniques for the evaluation of low-level radioactivities encountered in both the environment and in a number of applications where radioactive sources are used as a means of obtaining important information.

Download or read book The Government of Science written by Harvey Brooks and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 1987-05-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an edited collection of papers written between 1960 and 1967 and dealing with various aspects of science and government, with special attention to policies for the support of research. Most of the papers have previously been published. They deal with a wide range of issues including the following: a review and analysis of the arguments for and against a department of science, an analysis of arguments and criteria for federal support of research in universities and in other research institutions, the role and promise of new technology in meeting educational needs of the future, the role of national science policy in maximizing technology transfer and spurring innovation in the economy, the function of basic research supported by mission-oriented agencies of the federal government, the arguments for and against allocating research resources in terms of specific technology areas such as space and atomic energy instead of in terms of particular social purposes such as health, defense, or food production, the penetration of ideas and styles of thought derived from natural science into the general culture.The book is designed for the general reader, and is intended to outline the thinking of the author about various aspects of what has come to be known as "science policy," i.e., the national allocation of scientific and technical resources and the relation between science and other public purposes. While the book does not provide any systematic development or closely knit theoretical structure for scientific policy, it does develop a consistent pattern of thought which is based on considerable practical experience of the author in advising federal agencies on scientific policy and in the actual operations of the various institutions of science inside and outside the government. The papers mostly stress the importance of flexibility and multiple and partially competing centers of decision about science. They point out that the unique strength of the American scientific establishment stems from the fact that science is not isolated from the other functions of government but is closely coupled into all the major "missions."
