Download or read book Bioavailability of Organic Xenobiotics in the Environment written by P. Baveye and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the continuing fight against organic environmental xenobiotics, the initial success attributed to bioremediation has paled, in part due to the low availability of xenobiotics entrapped within a soil or sediment matrix. This has generated a very significant wave of interest in the bioavailability issue. However, much experimental evidence is puzzling or contradictory, mechanistic theories are embryonic, and implications for the practice of bioremediation or concerning the natural fate of xenobiotics are still tentative. The debate in Europe and the USA is vigorous. Eastern Europe, following the liberalisation of the economy and political life, is evolving in a similar direction. In many cases, however, limited access to literature sources, severe language barriers, and the lack of a strong pluridisciplinary tradition are hampering the adoption of state of the art techniques. Originally intended to allow scientists in East European countries to become acquainted with the key aspects of the bioavailability debate that is unfolding in the scientific literature in the West, and with its implications for bioremediation efforts, the present book presents a very complete coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of the (limited) bioavailability of organic xenobiotics in the environment.

Book excerpt: For over a decade, complex networks have steadily grown as an important tool across a broad array of academic disciplines, with applications ranging from physics to social media. A tightly organized collection of carefully-selected papers on the subject, Towards an Information Theory of Complex Networks: Statistical Methods and Applications presents theoretical and practical results about information-theoretic and statistical models of complex networks in the natural sciences and humanities. The book's major goal is to advocate and promote a combination of graph-theoretic, information-theoretic, and statistical methods as a way to better understand and characterize real-world networks. This volume is the first to present a self-contained, comprehensive overview of information-theoretic models of complex networks with an emphasis on applications. As such, it marks a first step toward establishing advanced statistical information theory as a unified theoretical basis of complex networks for all scientific disciplines and can serve as a valuable resource for a diverse audience of advanced students and professional scientists. While it is primarily intended as a reference for research, the book could also be a useful supplemental graduate text in courses related to information science, graph theory, machine learning, and computational biology, among others.

Book excerpt: Pharmacology is a dynamic and multifaceted field that lies at the heart of modern healthcare. It encompasses the study of how drugs interact with biological systems to produce therapeutic effects, as well as their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic uses. As the landscape of pharmacotherapy continues to evolve, it is essential for healthcare professionals to have a comprehensive understanding of pharmacological principles and their clinical applications. This book, "Pharmacology – Theory," is crafted with the aim of providing students, educators, and practitioners with a thorough and accessible resource that explores the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of pharmacology. Designed as a comprehensive guide, it covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of drug administration to the pharmacology of various organ systems and drug classes. The journey through pharmacology begins with an exploration of the fundamental concepts in drug administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Understanding these processes is crucial for optimizing drug therapy and ensuring patient safety. Building upon this foundation, the book delves into the pharmacology of drugs acting on the peripheral and central nervous systems, cardiovascular system, blood and blood-forming organs, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. Each section of the book is meticulously structured to provide a detailed examination of the pharmacological principles underlying the therapeutic use of drugs within specific organ systems. In addition to discussing the pharmacological actions, indications, contraindications, and dosages of various drug classes, the book also highlights the clinical relevance of pharmacological concepts through the integration of case studies and real-world examples. Special attention is given to the unique considerations and challenges encountered within the Indian healthcare system. By incorporating pertinent examples and case studies from the Indian context, we aim to enhance the relevance and applicability of pharmacological principles for Indian pharmacy professionals, students, and educators.
