Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders by Brigham Narins

Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders by Brigham Narins (Editor)
Publisher: Thomson Gale; 2nd edition (November 2, 2005) ISBN-10: 1414403658 PDF 24 Mb 1200 pages


The rapid progress in genetic research, including the completion of the Human Genome Project, made a new edition of The Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders a necessity. Compiled by genetic counselors, physicians, and medical writers, the encyclopedia explains genetic and congenital disorders in lay language. The 400 alphabetical, signed entries cover genetic disorders ( Down syndrome, Sickle cell disease); congenital disorders ( Cleft lip and palate, Patent ductus arteriosis); scientific concepts and research (Chromosome, Human Genome Project); and clinical specialties and s ( Amniocentesis, Genetic counseling). There are also articles about conditions, such as Prion diseases, which have a genetic component but can be transmitted between unrelated individuals, and Accutane embryopathy, a combination of birth defects that occurs when a pregnant woman takes the drug Accutane.

The entries are from 500 to 4,000 words long. They provide a definition of the subject, a description of the disorder, a genetic profile, and information on demographics, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and management, and prognosis. Color boxes have definitions of key terms. The articles also have resource lists. More than 200 illustrations, including color photographs and pedigree charts, supplement the text. A symbol guide for the pedigree charts and a list of entries appear in the front of each volume. Gene maps, a glossary, a list of organizations, and an index complete the work. There are ample boldface cross-references within the articles.

The new edition is 218 pages longer than its predecessor. All of the entries have been updated and revised. The broad scope of the encyclopedia makes it a very useful resource. The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects (Facts On File, 2000) has a nice history of human genetics, but its entries on the disorders are quite short. The Genetic Disorders Sourcebook (2004) and the Congenital Disorders Sourcebook (1997) from Omnigraphics cover only the more common disorders. Public libraries and consumer---health collections will find The Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders well worth the price. Barbara Bibel

Fluid Machinery and Fluid Mechanics

Jianzhong Xu, Yulin Wu, Yangjun Zhang, Junyue Zhang, "Fluid Machinery and Fluid Mechanics: 4th International Symposium"
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3540897488 | 500 pages | PDF | 33,7 MB

"Fluid Machinery and Fluid Mechanics: 4th International Symposium (4th ISFMFE)" is the proceedings of 4th International Symposium on Fluid Machinery and Fluid Engineering, held in Beijing November 24-27, 2008. It contains 69 highly informative technical papers presented at the Mei Lecture session and the technical sessions of the symposium. The Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics (CSET) organized the First, the Second and the Third International Symposium on Fluid Machinery and Fluid Engineering (1996, 2000 and 2004). The purpose of the 4th Symposium is to provide a common forum for exchange of scientific and technical information worldwide on fluid machinery and fluid engineering for scientists and engineers. The main subject of this symposium is "Fluid Machinery for Energy Conservation". The "Mei Lecture" reports on the most recent developments of fluid machinery in commemoration of the late professor Mei Zuyan.

The book is intended for researchers and engineers in fluid machinery and fluid engineering.

Jianzhong Xu is a professor at the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.

Spinal Cord Injury and the Family: A New Guide

Spinal Cord Injury and the Family: A New Guide
Harvard University Press; 1 edition (May 2008) | ISBN: 0674027140 | 360 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Spinal cord injury, or SCI, is frequently sudden and unexpected—through accident, disease, or violence, patients temporarily lose control of their bodies and, it seems, their lives. With rehabilitation, they can learn to navigate their world once more, retraining muscles and mind to compensate for paralyzed limbs and diminished strength. But as Dr. Michelle Alpert shows here, there is far more to recapturing full, independent lives than regaining movement. Central to long-term success is mending the family unit.

Combining Dr. Alpert’s clinical experience with patients’ own stories, Spinal Cord Injury and the Family is for individuals and their families who must climb back from injury: for the young quad couple, both quadriplegic, who wish to conceive and raise a child; for the paraplegic dad who wants to teach his daughter to drive; for the couple wondering how they can regain the sexual spark in their relationship.

The authors cover the causes of and prognosis for SCI through case studies, review common courses of rehabilitation, and answer the “what now?” questions—from daily routines to larger issues concerning sex, education and employment, childbearing, and parenting with SCI. Rich in clinical information and practical advice, the book shows how real patients and their families are living full lives after spinal cord injury.

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Stress Tolerance in Plants by K.V. Madhava Rao

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Stress Tolerance in Plants by K.V. Madhava Rao
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (February 10, 2006) | ISBN: 1402042248 | Pages: 345 | PDF | 2.3 MB

Today, biologists all over the world speak the same scientific language of molecular biology and use the same molecular tools. More interest and attention is given to molecular biology of abiotic stress tolerance and modes of installing better tolerant mechanisms in crop plants. These studies make plants capable of sustaining their yields even under stress conditions. Further, the information gained may form the basis for its application in biotechnology and bioinformatics. This book does not only review the current status in the physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance and its improvement in plants but will also trigger further research on this exciting topic.
