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

Ransomware and Cybercrime

Ransomware and Cybercrime

In May 2021 Jim Gosler known as the Godfather and commander of US agencies’ cyber offensive capability said ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt or the Internet would eat us alive. '' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced. Over the last two decades what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless nameless state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary ill-protected and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led all in the name of security. This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online. There is little to no attribution and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life our economies and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We need—no we must demand—change. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals. | Ransomware and Cybercrime

Gorenstein Homological Algebra

Gorenstein Homological Algebra

Gorenstein homological algebra is an important area of mathematics with applications in commutative and noncommutative algebra model category theory representation theory and algebraic geometry. While in classical homological algebra the existence of the projective injective and flat resolutions over arbitrary rings are well known things are a little different when it comes to Gorenstein homological algebra. The main open problems in this area deal with the existence of the Gorenstein injective Gorenstein projective and Gorenstein flat resolutions. Gorenstein Homological Algebra is especially suitable for graduate students interested in homological algebra and its applications.

Toxicology of Amphibian Tadpoles

Toxicology of Amphibian Tadpoles

Anuran amphibians are among the animal groups with the highest rate of population decline on the planet. Among the factors driving this decline are environmental pollutants whose negative effects on larvae and tadpoles are still relatively little studied. This is the first book devoted entirely to studying the effects of environmental pollutants on amphibian tadpoles. Throughout its 14 chapters various aspects of the toxic effects of different classes of environmental contaminants are explored such as the toxicokinetics of toxic compounds in tadpoles and their health effects which may result in negative consequences at populations level. | Toxicology of Amphibian Tadpoles

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

Smallscale Processing And Storage Of Tropical Root Crops

Smallscale Processing And Storage Of Tropical Root Crops

Tropical root crops—basic staples for millions of people—are highly perishable and tremendous losses occur after harvest because of the lack of storage and processing technology. This book is the first to fully describe small-scale processing and storage methods for these root crops particularly taro sweet potato and yams. The authors emphasize methods of handling and preserving the crops that require little in the way of energy or technology and they discuss traditional methods of storage and processing in Africa Asia and the Pacific. They also describe small machines suitable for processing and highlight examples of higher-level technology. The book is a milestone in the search for ways to appropriately modernize traditional agriculture and food systems. | Smallscale Processing And Storage Of Tropical Root Crops

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

A good portion of this book has been devoted to the copper-dependent enzymes these being the more numerous. The chapter dealing with serum amine oxidases also focuses attention on their catalytic mechanism as these enzymes have been studied in greater depth. As the presentation of topics whose experimental basis is rapidly developing is likely to stimulate the reader‘s interest many bibliographic references have been included. Readers could find this book poor as far as many topics are dealt with in a relatively little space but we believe it essential to trace the background of our present knowledge in the field of amine oxidases stressing the future outlook of research on these enzymes for they are becoming more and more important in general and medical biochemistry. | Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases
