Herbal Treatment of Major Depression Scientific Basis and Practical Use

Herbal Treatment of Major Depression Scientific Basis and Practical Use

This unique volume presents new understandings of the neurochemical nature of major depression and how herbs and their constituent flavonoids and terpenes appear to address some of the mechanisms now thought to be involved. It explores how recent studies of the rapid antidepressant effects of ketamine inform neuroscientists about deep intracellular mechanisms of antidepressant action that have little to do with simple enhancement of monoaminergic activity. These mechanisms include actions on PI3K Akt mTOR GSK3 BDNF and other intracellular pathways. New theories of the pathophysiology underlying major depression such as oxidative damage inflammation stress and insulin resistance are then explored. Key Features:Focuses on oxidative damage inflammation and metabolic syndrome. Explains that a significant percentage of people treated for major depression obtain little if any relief from standard antidepressant medications. These facts lead to discussion of herbs that can be used to treat major depression as well as consideration of the scientific basis for how these herbs act. The antidepressant properties of 66 herbs are discussed along with dosing and safety information. | Herbal Treatment of Major Depression Scientific Basis and Practical Use

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics — how do we know what we say is true? — and also of computer science — how do I know this program will do what I think it will? Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn't involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre-stressing a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete and so to design structural elements which are strong slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and if done properly can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However in spite of this most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design. | Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Despite intense research on decision-making in action we still know little about when decision-makers rely on deliberate vs. intuitive decision-making in decision situations under complexity and uncertainty. Building on default-interventionist dual-processing theory this book studies decision-making modes (deliberate vs. intuitive) in complex task environments contingent on perceived complexity experience and decision style preference. We find that relatively inexperienced decision-makers respond to increases in subjective complexity with an increase in deliberation and tend to follow their decision style preference. Experienced decision-makers are less guided by their decision preference and respond to increases in subjective complexity only minimally. This book contributes to a developing stream of research linking decision-making with intra-personal and environmental properties and fosters our understanding of the conditions under which decision-makers rely on intuitive vs. deliberate decision modes. In doing so we go one step further towards a comprehensive theory of decision-making in action. | Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures

As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades some nanostructures such as nanotubes nanowires and nanoparticles have become very popular. However recent research has led to the discovery of other less-common nanoforms which often serve as building blocks for more complex structures. In an effort to organize the field the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents an informal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechnological encyclopedia this book:Describes a range of little-known nanostructuresOffers a unifying vision of the synthesis of nanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms Includes downloadable resources with color versions of more than 100 nanostructuresExplores the fabrication of rare nanostructures including modern physical chemical and biological synthesis techniquesThe Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures discusses a classification system not directly related to the dimensionality and chemical composition of nanostructure-forming compounds or composite. Instead it is based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapes and high surface areas these structures are potentially very useful for catalytic medical electronic and many other applications.

A Practical Approach to WBEM/CIM Management

A Practical Approach to WBEM/CIM Management

System architects and engineers in fields such as storage networking desktop computing electrical power distribution and telecommunications need a common and flexible way of managing heterogeneous devices and services. Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and its Component Information Model (CIM) provide the architecture language interfaces and common models for the management of storage computing and telecommunication applications. Now there is a practical guide for those who design or implement the emerging WBEM systems or produce a CIM model of a device or service. A Practical Approach to WBEM/CIM Management describes in detail WBEM/CIM architecture and explores the standard models developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). It explores the interfaces with which your WBEM/CIM code will have to work and offers examples of applicable models and related code. This book introduces the components of WBEM architecture defines models within CIM and illustrates communication between the WBEM client and server. It also investigates transitioning from SNMP or proprietary systems to WBEM/CIM. Realizing that the field is undergoing a period of massive growth and change the author focuses primarily on the areas which have been standardized and which differ little between implementations. He does however provide coding examples using the openPegasus implementation demonstrating concepts common to other C++ and Java-based implementations.

Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry (Morus spp. ) is an important horticultural plant in the sericulture industry. It belongs to the family Moraceae. The leaf of mulberry is used to feed the silkworm Bombyx mori L. It is also used as a fodder. Due to its economic and agricultural importance mulberry is cultivated in many parts of the world. An estimated 60% of the total cost of silk cocoon production is for production and maintenance of mulberry plants. Therefore much attention is needed to improve the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves. It is vital to increase the production of superior quality mulberry leaves with high nutritive value for the sericulture industry. Although a lot of research is going on in mulberry very little effort has been made to compile the results of this research in a single book. This book provides an update of recent research works going on in this plant. It describes the taxonomy conservation of germplasm genetic diversity of various mulberry species application of breeding techniques to improve the quality of mulberry in vitro conservation application of tissue culture techniques to improve mulberry species production of haploids and triploids in mulberry and improvement of abiotic stress adaptive traits in mulberry with relevance to adaptiveness to global warming. | Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change
