Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xxiv + 261 pages, NOT ex-library. Fine interior, clean and bright throughout, unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show short creases to corners. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume investigates the biological and mental limits of personnel operating in "high-tempo" military environments. It brings together experts in neuroscience, psychology, and physiology to examine how extreme stress, sleep deprivation, and rapid information flow affect decision-making and physical performance. The book focuses on the "human dimension" of modern warfare, where technological advances often outpace the natural processing power of the human brain. Stress and the Brain: It details the neuroendocrine responses to combat stress, specifically how the release of cortisol and adrenaline impacts the prefrontal cortex, leading to "tunnel vision" or impaired judgment. Sleep Deprivation: A significant portion is dedicated to the physiological toll of sustained operations. It explores circadian rhythm disruption and the effectiveness of pharmacological vs. behavioural interventions to maintain alertness. Information Overload: The authors analyse the cognitive load placed on soldiers by modern "network-centric" warfare, where the sheer volume of data can lead to cognitive paralysis or "friendly fire" incidents. Resilience and Selection: Several chapters discuss how to identify and train for "stress-hardiness," using biomarkers to predict which individuals might be more resilient to post-traumatic stress or physical exhaustion. The book is structured to move from laboratory theory to field application: - Neurocognitive Factors: Focuses on memory, attention, and executive function under fire. - Physiological Monitoring: Discusses wearable technologies and sensors used to monitor a soldier's vital signs and "cognitive readiness" in real-time. - Operational Case Studies: Includes data from high-stakes environments, such as special forces missions and long-duration flight operations. Steven Kornguth and Michael D. Matthews are affiliated with prestigious institutions like the University of Texas and West Point, ensuring the text bridges the gap between academic research and military doctrine. The monograph is primarily intended for defence scientists, military psychologists, and commanders involved in training and human systems integration. -- Contents: Part I. Cognition During Real-World Activities Part II. Cognition During Sleep Deprivation Part III. Cognition During Stress and Anxiety Part IV. Guidance from Military Leadership and Ethical Considerations [Military Operations: Humans Not Machines Make the Difference; Is Supraphysiological Enhancement Possible, and What are the Downsides?; US Army Future Concept for the Human Dimension: Chief Human Dimension Executive Summary; Sustaining Performance in Mass Casualty Environments; Neuropsychiatry and Aviation Safety; Closing Remarks: Realization of Existing Capabilities in Sustaining Performance]; Index -- "The book features world-renowned scientists conducting cutting-edge research into how stress affects the human body and psyche. It introduces novel pharmaceuticals and equipment designed to sustain or enhance performance under stress. The book's insights extend beyond the military to fields like emergency medicine, law enforcement, and disaster response. Distinct from earlier publications, it presents state-of-the-art neuroscience data in a format accessible to professionals from varied backgrounds. It not only discusses behavior and perception but also integrates brain imagery and physiological evidence. The book synthesizes hard data with field experience to show how institutions like the US Army can measure, monitor, and enhance human performance.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Biotechnology is advancing at a rapid pace with numerous applications in medicine, industry, agriculture and environmental remediation. Recognizing this, government, industrial and academic research and development invest ment in biotechnology has expanded rapidly. The past decade has seen the emergence of applications of this technology with a dual-use potential. Mili tary applications focus on four major areas: biomedical technology, such as vaccine development and medical diagnostics; detection of toxins, chemicals and pathogens; material biotechnology; and biological decontamination, in cluding biodegradation and bioremediation. This conference emphasizes the non-medical applications of biotechnol ogy. The first two sessions focus on the synthesis and properties of molecules that may be used in detectors. The traditional approach to detection of chemical and biological agents relied on the development of specific assays or analyses for known agents. Advances in molecular biology have made possible the production of large quantities of toxins which were previously available in minute quantities, and the molecular engineering of toxins and pathogens with specific pharmacologic and physical-chemical properties. In addition to the traditional approaches to detection of specific known compounds, biotechnology now offers generic approaches to detection. Physiological targets, known as receptors, are primary targets for many drugs and toxins. Similarly, pathogens rely on receptors to gain access to cells. These receptors function as sensitive detectors, generating signals which are transduced and amplified.…
