High blood pressure, the “silent killer,” is a leading preventable cause of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. This guide offers health professionals a clear path to tackling this silent epidemic through advances in diagnosis, risk management, and patient-centered care.
Ageing is not a disease. In an era of unfulfilled social care, this book presents an anthropological view that focuses on three essential conditions of human life that become vulnerable with advancing age: relating to others, being in the world, and leaving a legacy.
How Human Nature Fosters Violence, War and Genocide
Why are we the way we are? This book examines mass violence and genocide, arguing it builds upon a basic human tendency from our evolutionary background to support our own group and kill those considered “others,” often hiding behind designations of religion, race, or ethnicity.
This is the first modern, extensive study of Late Cretaceous planktic foraminifera, a group of paramount importance for specialists in the oil industry and academia. This volume is dedicated to globotruncanids, describing 61 species with high-quality, spectacular photographs.
Biologists in the Age of Totalitarianism
These gripping biographies reveal the hidden lives of biologists in the Third Reich. Dr. Nowak, who knew many personally, uses newly opened archives to tell the stories of victims and perpetrators caught in the ideological nets of Nazism, Stalinism, and Maoism.
Integrated Gas Sensing and Biomarker Detection
At the forefront of innovation, this book offers a deep dive into gas sensing technology, with a unique emphasis on integrating machine learning to enhance sensor performance. A multidisciplinary guide bridging chemistry, electronics, and AI for researchers and engineers.
Chemistry for a Better Tomorrow
Chemistry is the unseen architect of progress, turning elements into life-saving medicines, sustainable materials, and clean energy solutions. This book highlights breakthroughs that convert obstacles into opportunities, engineering a brighter tomorrow—one molecule at a time.
This validated finite element (FE) human head model predicts traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in vehicle collisions. With improved biofidelity, the model predicts injury types and severity, helping to better understand injury mechanisms and develop advanced restraint systems.
Studying the Mosquito
Featuring chapters by eminent researchers, this book explores novel mosquito control methods. It provides valuable insights into recent interdisciplinary concepts, from AI and ML to immunology, making it an asset for researchers, biologists, and medical personnel.
The Physics of Living Systems
Cells are smart. The penalty for failure is death. Constrained by the Laws of Physics, they turn what could be a molecular cacophony into a symphony without a conductor. Understanding this beautiful and awe-inspiring process is the goal of this book.
What Is Life and What Is Consciousness
What is life? What is consciousness? This book tackles these age-old questions with a new concept: matter-related information. It demonstrates that information is an indispensable contributor to the organization and functionality of all living systems.
Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
Kin Recognition in Protists and Other Microbes
This is the first volume on the genetics, evolution, and behavior of kin recognition in microbes. It covers how cells recognize kin and clones, the role of kinship in disease, and what microbial cooperation and cheating reveal about the origins of multicellularity.
Nanotechnology is reshaping biomedical innovation and environmental sustainability. This book explores practical applications that tackle global issues, from tailored medicine and next-generation diagnostics to nanomaterials that fight pollution and create sustainable energy.
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of nanozyme catalysis mechanisms and their applications. As stable, low-cost, and reusable alternatives to natural enzymes, nanozymes are used in food and biological analysis, sensing, and more. An ideal choice for readers.
Advances in Environmental Biotechnology
In a world grappling with climate change and resource scarcity, biotechnology emerges as a powerful tool. This book presents cutting-edge research from leading experts on solutions for waste management, bioenergy, and pollution, highlighting its potential for a greener future.
This book examines the molecular underpinnings and clinical implications of epigenetics in cancer. It explores epigenetic therapeutics that target the alterations driving cancer’s onset and spread, covering the latest developments, biomarkers for diagnosis, and future prospects.
Plants and Microorganisms
