Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Protective forests are a key component to reduce natural hazard risks in mountain areas by preventing or decreasing the frequency, magnitude and/or intensity of snow avalanches, rockfall, landslides, floods, and debris flows. This book summarizes the state-of-the-art knowledge and introduces methods and decision support tools to facilitate the use of protective forests for Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) as part of an integrated risk management in the Alpine Space. Moreover, it highlights how translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions can only be achieved by an active and iterative exchange with practitioners and policy makers, and a common understanding of applied concepts and definitions. Only then can protective forests be managed sustainably under constantly changing climate and socio-economic conditions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 278 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Green Chemistry - New Perspectives is at the frontiers of this continuously evolving interdisciplinary science, and publishes research that attempts to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The book covers all aspects of green chemistry, including chemical synthesis, nano synthesis, eco-friendly processes, biomass, extraction techniques, environmental remediation, and energy, making it a unique reference resource. This will continue to encourage scientists around the world to develop novel synthetic methods or improve the existing ones to circumvent some of the problems and favours all aspects of green chemistry. This book is intended for academia, professionals, scientists, as well as graduate and undergraduate students without any geographical limitations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 268 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book discusses timely topics in the field of neurophysiology ranging from descriptions of nerve cells and glial cells to neural networks, sensory processing, neuroplasticity, neuropathophysiology, and human behavior. As such, all organizational levels of the nervous system are considered in one or more of the book¿s twelve chapters. The chapters review or present novel findings and provide the reader with an overview of the current state of the art of neurophysiology research. They discuss research advances in different brain regions and experimental models. In addition, the book contributes to the training of current and future neuroscientists and, hopefully, will lead us on the path to curing some of the biggest challenges in human health.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 286 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Soil Science - Emerging Technologies, Global Perspectives and Applications describes recent research that illustrates the universal importance of understanding soil and soil¿s relationship to environmental stewardship and food security. Research supporting emerging technologies provides abilities to discern key soil attributes that influence soil behavior and development, understand soil biology to create sustainable land management, and sequester carbon to partially negate climate change. Soil science is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that must consider resource allocation and social needs to foster a culture that protects and secures not only soil health but also water and air quality. Chapters in this book reflect the diversity of modern thinking within the discipline of soil science, but collectively illustrate that global sustainability of food, the environment, and biological diversity are critical to future generations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents a comprehensive overview of gravity and gravitational fields. The eight chapters are presented in two sections. Chapters in the first section address such topics as the theory of gravity, transient gravitational forces, the nature of our temporal universe, and photo-gravitational celestial mechanics. Chapters in the second section discuss how to create a gravity survey, analyze data collected by satellites and on the ground, and present visualizations of several field cases around the world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 164 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book provides theoretical answers, applied methodological models, and didactic experiences that seek to reflect and analyze the potentialities and challenges of the active learning concept in STEAM disciplines and social sciences education. It also contributes to the understanding, intervention, and resolution of contemporary social problems and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through the design, implementation, and evaluation of educational programs that incorporate integrated active learning as one of its explanatory axes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 296 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Biosignal processing is an important tool in medicine. As such, this book presents a comprehensive overview of novel methods in biosignal theory, biosignal processing algorithms and applications, and biosignal sensors. Chapters examine biosignal processing for glucose detection, tissue engineering, electrocardiogram processing, soft tissue tomography, and much more. The book also discusses applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning for biosignal processing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 308 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Increasing human migrations, technological advances, agricultural activities, and climate change are forcing plants to adapt to new environments. This book highlights current morphological, anatomical, physiological, molecular, and genomic advances in plant defense mechanisms. These advances, including epigenetic mechanisms, have been linked to observed phenotypic plant plasticity. The book also outlines next-generation food systems, considering the resilience and sustainability of plant genomes and epigenomes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 370 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The intestine is the largest digestive organ in the human body and one of the largest organs in contact with the outside world. In addition to digesting food to facilitate the absorption of nutrients, it has a variety of other functions, including the transmission of information and regulation of the metabolism. Due to its unique structure, the intestine is constantly exposed to various antigens and microbes. To protect the body from pathogens, while also maintaining a stable environment, the human intestinal tract has evolved unique regional immune characteristics maintained by the mature intestinal mucosal immune system. This intricate system involves intestinal epithelial cells, and intestinal lymphoid tissue composed of Peyer¿s patches, isolated lymphoid follicles, mesenteric lymph nodes, and so on. The congenital and adaptive immune mechanisms created by the unique structure, function, and microenvironment of the intestine differ from those of the central and peripheral immune organs forming the regional immunity of the intestine. Intestinal flora also plays an important role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, altering the structure and function of the immune system, reshaping the immune microenvironment, and promoting interference with the development of specific diseases. In fact, the immune function of the intestinal region directly affects the development of many intestine-specific diseases. However, the integrity of this function depends on the expression of congenital genes and the regulation of the neuroendocrine system. The microenvironment created by intestinal flora and its products also affects the immunity of the intestinal region. In early life, appropriate intestinal colonization by specific microflora stimulates the maturation of the intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. If the appropriate intestinal flora fails to form during this life stage, the function of the intestinal immune system becomes impaired, leading to increased incidence and/or morbidity of certain intestinal diseases, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn¿s disease, and others.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 312 pp. Englisch.
