Book Description

Leukocyte adherence to endothelial cells is a critical early step in the onset of inflammatory disease. This monograph provides a unique description of adhesion as it relates to the subsequent event of transendothelial migration of leukocytes. Combining theoretical background and practical
knowledge, the book describes the mechanisms of leukocyte adhesion, providing information that could eventually facilitate the clinical treatment of inflammation. There is a special section on soluble mediators that influence the ability of these cells to be activated. The work also extends its
detailed description of adhesion as an in vitro phenomenon to the latest studies of in vivo animal models which provide the first significant evidence of adhesion as an essential step in the progression of inflammatory disease. This collection of important advances in the field of cellular adhesion
will be of value to graduate students, researchers, and clinicians interested in a complete discussion of leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and its role in inflammatory disease.

Book Description

Both scientific research and commercial interest in investigating the role of cell adhesion molecules in complex cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are growing at a rapid pace. The recent identification and manipulation of an expanding number of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) provide an excellent opportunity for therapeutic and diagnostic interventions in a wide variety of disease processes including acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, vascular remodeling, autoimmune and thrombotic disorders, neurodegenerative complications, bacterial adhesion, angiogenesis and restenosis.

Book Description

This book is the proceedings of a Falk Workshop held in Berlin, Germany, on January 23-24, 2003, which brought together experts in different fields of research to stimulate the transfer of findings from basic research to clinical application. Section I focuses on cell adhesion molecules of the liver and their role in hepatocarcinogenesis and inflammatory liver disease. Section II deals with infection and fibrosis and with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). Morphogenesis, cell migration and inflammation are the subject of Section III with a focus on the role of integrins in blood cell-endothelial interactions. In Section IV the importance of cell adhesion molecules for cancer and their role as potential target for cancer therapy will be discussed.

Book Description

This volume contains the proceedings of the William Harvey Research Conference held in New Orleans on the 15th and 16th of April 1996. It reviews the general pathophysiological significance of the isoforms of cyclooxygenase and the likely value of selective COX-2 inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid conditions. The volume also covers the possible use of antibodies against cytokines and cell adhesion receptors in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.

although the rest are very fine, this is still the best.......2000-07-20

It is a real shame that this book is presently out-of-print, I borrowed it from the local library some 5 years ago, and to this date have yet to see anything better in this genre. The technical data about precious stones - such as dispersion, types of refraction, specific gravity, types of cutting, and so on - are well covered, with specific commentaries on individual stones presented in encyclopaedic format. It's very useful not only for specific reference but just for general browsing. What sets this book apart, on the other hand, is the quality and quantity of the gem photography. There are pictures of every major and minor gem in the world, and where a particular type of stone has more than one color - or colors - the entire suite of colors is presented. So the garnets, sapphires, diamonds, tourmalines, topazes, beryls (just to name a few) look positively kaleidoscopic. The opal section alone has some magnificent stones, including top-quality Lightning Ridge black, one of which is photographed from different directions to demonstrate the superb color play. The zircon and spinel photography is quite impressive too.

This book is emphatically not for the investor or speculator who is looking for advice, and no attempts at valuation are made. On the other hand, for readers interested in specific gemmological research or (esoteric) appreciation, this book will be ideal. The level of scholarship is impeccable, and the book is not overwhelmingly technical or difficult. It is not cheap but is worth every penny. Most strongly recommended.

A superb reference book of colored gemstones!.......1997-11-12

Outstanding color photographs to review, that are matched to technical data regarding the various gemstone "families". There is a very fine topic governing "colors" of gemstones as well. Joel Arem has done a very fine job!

The Encyclopedia of Gemstones and Minerals by MARTIN HOLDEN, is one of the most satisfactoring reference book that I have read. Holden professionally combined visual elements and highly detailed information in this reference book. What makes this encyclopedia special is that the readers can easily find whatever they need to find without searching the index or reading the whole table of contents! Everything is alphabetical! If You need to find anything about crystal systems, what you need to do is just to check the letter "c". What you need is always there... And one other thing: You will be fascinated when you see the beautiful detailed pictures and highly informative text.

Book Description

Geochemistry uses the methods and philosophies of chemistry to explore and understand the Earth from the most elementary levels. The field has moved on from a prehistoric interest in metals, chert and clay, to become a modern science, utilizing sophisticated techniques to understand the Earth's processes and evolution. By looking deeply into the Earth's constituents, scientists are able to verify theories on its formation and, by corollary, on the formation of other planets in the universe. Because geochemistry involves intensive, detailed examinations of pieces of the planet, the subject touches upon many aspects of other scientific explorations, such as predicting earth tremors and volcanoes, the origin of life, environmental contamination and waste management, and finding mineral and organic ores.
The Encyclopedia of Geochemistry is a complete and authoritative reference text to this evolving field. Over 200 international scientists, each experts in their specialties, have written over 340 separate topics on different aspects of geochemistry including organics, trace elements, isotopes, high and low temperature geochemistry and ore deposits, to name just a few. The instruments used to refine geochemical techniques are each described in detail, and the chemical elements have their own separate entries which include common mineralogical, petrological and sedimentological depictions.
Each topic incorporates cross-referencing to related articles, and also has its own reference list to lead the reader to the essential articles within the published literature. The entries are arranged alphabetically, for easy access, and the subject and citation indices are comprehensive and extensive.
