India (Modern World Nations)


India (Modern World Nations) By Douglas A. Phillips & Charles F. Gritzner
Do you enjoy mysteries? If you do, you will love India, a country shrouded in mystery to most people throughout the Western world today. To most of us, India is a littleknown, somewhat mysterious, quite confusing, and yet exotic distant place. It remains little known simply because most people in the West rarely study, read much about, or travel to this vibrant nation. India is very complex. Its religions, politics, economy, history, society and culture, and huge population present a kaleidoscopic array of cultural practices and conditions. The diversity and complexity can be quite confusing to anyone who does not know this distant land and its peoples. India is much like an onion.Onions come in many different colors and can vary greatly in taste. Peeling off one layer only reveals another layer underneath. India, like an onion, also has many varieties and layers.

By The Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead By Julie Anne Peters (Free eBook Download)
Daelyn Rice is broken beyond repair, and after a string of botched suicide attempts, she’s determined to get her death right.  She starts visiting a website for “completers”— www.through-the-light .com.

While she’s on the site, Daelyn blogs about her life, uncovering a history of bullying that goes back to kindergarten.  When she’s not on the Web, Daelyn’s at her private school, where she’s known as the freak who doesn’t talk.

Then, a boy named Santana begins to sit with her after school while she’s waiting to for her parents to pick her up.  Even though she’s made it clear that she wants to be left alone, Santana won’t give up.  And it’s too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life…isn’t it?

National Book Award finalist Julie Anne Peters shines a light on how bullying can push young people to the very edge.

Text Atlas of Penile Surgery


"Text Atlas of Penile Surgery" by Daniel Yachia
English | Informa Healthcare | ISBN: 1841845175 | 2007 | PDF | 242 pages | 20.74 Mb

With increasing awareness among physicians and the general public, and the good to excellent results obtained with their repair, the surgical treatment of penile deformities are becoming established procedures. In many cases the relative ease in achieving a cosmetically acceptable penile appearance drives the patients or their families to apply for a surgical correction of the deformity or dysfunction. Congenital penile curvatures can be diagnosed even in childhood, usually by the parents. These curvatures reflect those we encounter in adulthood.

This groundbreaking text offers the reader detailed surgical anatomy of the penis and description of the commonly used operative procedures, as well as the surgical procedures of many uncommon penile pathologies. Almost all penile deformations are surgically treatable conditions; however, not all need to be treated. Written by one of the world's leading urological surgeons and heavily illustrated, the aim of this book is to provide practical surgical solutions to congenital or acquired penile anomalies and diseases to the practicing urologist who encounters them in their daily practice, including the way to approach these patients, and how to evaluate them. In this book, starting from surgical anatomy, Daniel Yachia gives easy-to-follow practical details on the procedures he performs to ensure successful outcomes, making this a must for all urological surgeons.

Microbial Source Tracking: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies


Charles Hagedorn, Anicet R. Blanch and Valerie J. Harwood, "Microbial Source Tracking: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies" 
S,..ger | 2011 | ISBN: 1441993851 | 656 pages | PDF | 9 MB

Understanding the origin of fecal pollution is essential in assessing potential health risks as well as for determining the actions necessary to remediate the quality of waters contaminated by fecal matter. As a result, microbial source tracking (MST) has emerged as a field that has evolved and diversified rapidly since the first approaches were described only a decade ago. In response to the emergence of MST, there have been three large multi-laboratory method comparison studies (two in the US and one in Europe), plus numerous workshops, book chapters, and review articles dedicated to synthesizing information on the topic. Furthermore, a federal (USEPA) guide document describing the uses and limitations of MST methods was published in 2005, and a book dedicated to MST as an emerging issue in food safety was published in 2007. These documents provide a collective body of literature on MST that is both conflicting and complementary, often repetitious, and difficult to condense and interpret. In addition, it does not reflect the current diversity of MST approaches with different organisms, newer methodologies such as quantitative PCR, and anthropogenic chemicals, nor does it embrace the scope of MST research being conducted around the world.

The three editors of the book, all with extensive MST expertise, have developed chapters and invited authors who reflect the rich diversity and truly international scope of MST. The unifying theme throughout the book is the design of more standardized approaches to MST that include performance criteria (regardless of method or organism), plus recommendations for field study design and MST implementation. The editors intend that this book will serve as a valuable reference for all those who are involved with

Environmental Security and Ecoterrorism


Hami Alpas, Simon M. Berkowicz, Irina Ermakova, "Environmental Security and Ecoterrorism" 
S inger | 2011 | ISBN: 9400712375, 9400712340 | 200 pages | PDF | 20 MB

In recent years, the concept of environmental security has been adapted to include preparedness for acts of ecoterrorism. This latter term has now become synonymous with environmental terrorism where the perpetrator uses the environment as a weapon to harm an opponent. The intended outcome is usually large-scale deaths, severe damage to the environment, and instilling fear in the general population. This book explores various facets of ecoterrorism including the role of the state in pursuing and maintaining environmental security, a review of the concept of ecoterrorism, food security challenges and weaknesses, technological countermeasures to enable rapid detection or response, and existing pollution sources and hazards that may serve as targets for terrorist acts. In sum, this volume provides a useful overview for both the layperson and experienced researchers.

Advanced Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment: A Road to Safer Society and Environment


Petr Hlavinek, Igor Winkler, Jiri Marsalek and Ivana Mahrikova, "Advanced Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment: A Road to Safer Society and Environment" 
S,,nger | 2011 | ISBN: 9400703090 | 372 pages | PDF | 11,2 MB

Stable, safe, secure and readily available water supply is one of the key factors in ensuring a good level of the public health and a stable society. Scientific assessments show that about 80 % of diseases and one-third of the total death toll in the developing countries are caused by the low quality of the drinking water. Other countries are also suffering from water shortages and insufficient quality of the drinking water. Many rivers in Europe and in other parts of the world are significantly polluted by insufficiently treated or untreated wastewater discharge.

This book is based on the discussions and papers prepared for the NATO Advanced Research Workshop that took place in Lviv, Ukraine, and addressed recent advances in water supply and wastewater treatment as a prerequisite for a safer society and environment. The contributions critically assess the existing knowledge on urban water management and provide an overview of the current water management issues, especially in the countries in transition in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Mediterranean Dialogue countries.

Kim Harrison - Early to Death, Early to Rise


Kim Harrison - Early to Death, Early to Rise
Publisher: HarperCollins; Reprint edition (April 26, 2011) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0061441694 | EPUB + MOBI | 256 pages | 0.2 mb + 0.2 mb

Fans of Once Dead, Twice Shy (2009) won’t be disappointed by this more-of-the-same sequel, which follows Madison—the newly minted dark timekeeper of the afterworld—as she tries to stave off unnecessary reaper scythings. The plot this time revolves around a dangerous computer virus, but the story’s primary concerns are the rocky relationships between the rogue’s gallery of supernatural characters (and a few human ones, too). Harrison’s afterworld rules remain rather exhausting, but her theme of fate versus choice is more finely tuned here than in the first book. If this is your kind of thing, you already have it on order.

Rational Thermodynamics


Rational Thermodynamics By C. Truesdell
Publisher: Sp..ring..er 1984 | 578 Pages | ISBN: 3540908749 | DJVU | 5 MB

In the first edition of this book I tried to survey in brief compass the main ideas, methods, and discoveries of rational thermodynamics as it then stood, only five years after Messrs. Coleman & Noll, while in Baltimore, had written the fundamental memoir that provided for the new science the one root theretofore wanting. A survey in the same style today would require an almost wholly new book, three or four times as long. As it was in 1968, again in 1983 a consecutive treatise restricted to the foundations would be premature, for at this moment they are under earnest discussion, probing analysis, and powerful attack by several students and from several directions.

Picoult ( Songs of the Humpback Whales ) brings her considerable talents to this contemporary story of a young woman in search of her identity. Abandoned by her mother when she was five years old, Paige O'Toole has been left with painful doubts about her self-worth. She leaves her Chicago home for Cambridge, Mass., at 18 to fulfill herself as an artist, but must work in a diner because she can't afford art school. When she marries Harvard medical student Nicholas Prescott, his parents disown him, disapproving of their Irish Catholic daughter-in-law. Again Paige is forced to sideline her creative needs and work as a waitress in order to support Nicholas until he is able to establish his career as a cardiac surgeon. Paige is soon overwhelmed by the demands of Nicholas's socially sophisticated world, and after the birth of their son, Max, she becomes emotionally and physically exhausted. Unable to communicate her terrors about herself to Nicholas, she leaves him to search for her mother, who may hold the answers to her life. Told in flashbacks, this is a realistic story of childhood and adolescence, the demands of motherhood, the hard paths of personal growth and the generosity of spirit required by love. Picoult's imagery is startling and brilliant; her characters move credibly through this affecting drama.

Additive Number Theory: Inverse Problems and the Geometry of Sumsets


Additive Number Theory: Inverse Problems and the Geometry of Sumsets
Publisher: Springer | 1996 | ISBN: 0387946551 | Pages: 307 | PDF | 14,17 MB

Many classical problems in additive number theory are direct problems, in which one starts with a set A of natural numbers and an integer H -> 2, and tries to describe the structure of the sumset hA consisting of all sums of h elements of A. By contrast, in an inverse problem, one starts with a sumset hA, and attempts to describe the structure of the underlying set A. In recent years there has been ramrkable progress in the study of inverse problems for finite sets of integers. In particular, there are important and beautiful inverse theorems due to Freiman, Kneser, Plünnecke, Vosper, and others. This volume includes their results, and culminates with an elegant proof by Ruzsa of the deep theorem of Freiman that a finite set of integers with a small sumset must be a large subset of an n-dimensional arithmetic progression.

The series takes place in a world similar to our own but one where vampires, witches, werewolves and shape-shifters live among humans without their knowledge. These supernatural races make up a secret society known as the Night World, which enforces two fundamental laws to prevent discovery: 1) Never allow humans to gain knowledge of the Night World's existence and, 2) Never fall in love with one of them. Keller is a black panther. She will do whatever it takes to survive. Keller meets her match when she’s hired to protect Iliana Harman, a blond ditz whose only concerns are clothes, boys, and parties. Can Iliana be the legendary Witch Child, one who can fend off the end of the world? Galen, the gorgeous boy destined to be the Witch Child’s soulmate, and Keller are falling in love, but it’s a love that will destroy everything. Keller knows she has to give him up — but her heart won’t listen. Meanwhile, the Night World is closing in, to kill all three of them.

Bacterial protein toxins: Role in the interference with cell growth regulation


Alistair J. Lax - Bacterial protein toxins: Role in the interference with cell growth regulation
Publisher: Cаmbridge Univеrsity Prеss | 2005-01-10 | ISBN: 052182091X | PDF | 254 pages | 4.10 MB


Bacterial toxins that act inside cells interact very specifically with key components of the cell and some even manipulate the cell in subtle ways for their own purposes. These potent toxins, described in this 2005 book, will be of interest to both microbiologists and cell biologists. Some of these toxins are conventional multidomain toxins that are self-programmed to enter cells. Others are delivered by type III mechanisms, often as a package of potent molecules. The molecular targets for all these toxins mediate signal transduction and the cell cycle to regulate the crucial processes of cell growth, cell division and differentiation. Thus these potent toxins are not only responsible for disease, but also provide a powerful set of tools with which to interrogate the biology of the cell. In addition such toxins may act directly to promote carcinogenesis and hence their study is also of interest in a wider context.
Bacterial toxins are potent molecular poisons that are released by bacteria to cause disease. This 2005 book describes how toxins can enter cells to subvert cell function by interfering with the key processes involved in cell growth and division, and the ability of cells to differentiate into specialised cells.

Proteomics: Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications


Proteomics: Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications 
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1402023227 | edition 2004 | PDF | 408 pages | 5,2 mb

Proteins are the functional output of genes and there are two main expected outcomes from human proteomics. The first is to discover new molecular markers for early diagnosis and profiling of pathologies. The second is to decipher the intracellular signaling pathways leading to the initiation and progression of pathologies, for the identification of new targets and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. This is clearly a promising challenge that this book explores through a series of ongoing experiences and projects representative of the new era in which biology and medicine have now entered.
