Managing Fatigue in Transportation: Proceedings of the 3rd Fatigue in Transportation Conference, Fremantle, Western Australia 1998
ISBN: 9780080433578 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hardbound. This book is concerned with driver fatigue across all transport modes. Most research into the effects of fatigue has been restricted to studies of road users but with new estimates showing more crashes can be attributed to fatigue than previously thought, fatigue is increasingly being seen as a significant public health problem. Drawing together research into fatigue and its management in all transport modes, this book shows that much can be learned from approaching the phenomenon in an integrative way. Exposing common misconceptions and exploring key research findings, the book...

Evolution of Infectious Disease
ISBN: 9780195060584 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Findings from the field of evolutionary biology are yielding dramatic insights for health scientists, especially those involved in the fight against infectious diseases. This book is the first in-depth presentation of these insights. In detailing why the pathogens that cause malaria, smallpox, tuberculosis, and AIDS have their special kinds of deadliness, the book shows how efforts to control virtually all diseases would benefit from a more thorough application of evolutionary principles. When viewed from a Darwinian perspective, a pathogen is not simply a disease-causing agent, it is a...

Federal Bodysnatchers and the New Guinea Virus: Tales of Parasites, People, and Politics
ISBN: 9780393325461 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Twenty years ago the world slept, confident that biomedical science would protect it from devastating plagues. Our wake-up call sounded at the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic. Then came more unfamiliar pathogens in its wake, such as the West Nile virus. Meanwhile, the neglected diseases of the third world, including malaria and African sleeping sickness, festered--their victims salvageable only by unaffordable, patent-protected drugs. Robert S. Desowitz traces the histories of these diseases and the issues we must confront--the morality and legality of patent laws, the effect of global warming...

Heredity and Infection: The History of Disease Transmission
ISBN: 9780415271202 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Ideas about the transmission of disease have long formed the core of modern biology and medicine. Heredity and Infection examines their development since the 1800s. Two scientific revolutions - the bacteriological revolution of the 1890s and the genetic revolution at the start of the 20th century - acted as the catalysts of major change in our understanding of the causes of illness. As well as being great scientific achievements, these were social and political watersheds that reconfigured the medical and administrative means of intervention. By establishing a clear distinction between...

Combating the Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Drug Discovery Approaches
ISBN: 9780470118795 / Angielski / Twarda / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. Drug discovery for influenza antivirals
Priorities for combating pandemic influenza include rapid detection and identification, the quick administration of available drugs to treat the infection, the development of new antivirals, and the development of vaccines. Since lead-time may be required to produce an effective vaccine, antivirals would serve as a key first line of defense in containing an outbreak. Diverse antivirals, acting through different mechanisms, would help stay the development of resistant viruses. Thus, drug discovery for influenza antivirals is an important...
