Migratory Small Ruminant Farming System in the Himalayas-Peculiarities, Problems, Prospects, Climate Effects, Nutrition and Health
by S. P. Singh J. K. MalikThis book highlights the animal rearing system that follows a seasonal migratory cycle and in which the animals are reared in the alpine pastures during summer and are returned to the base camps at lower hills with the onset of winter. The initial chapter presents the unique features of the prevailing animal farming system in the hills, and aims at providing a brief overview of the history of pastoralism. The book also describes how the pastoral system has served livelihood of people living in high mountains, the peculiarity and features of this system in different countries, place of ruminants in hill agriculture, historical aspects of pastoralism and tribes, practice of shepherding, grazing rights of herders, current status of migratory livestock system, problems and constraints and strategies for their amelioration. The chapters also provide information on principal minerals limiting small ruminant production, causes of salt hunger in migratory animals grazing at alpine pastures, nutritional status of common pastures and feeds, variation of grass mineral profile and crude protein content with altitude. Another chapter describes how the animals adapt to altitude and migration stresses during ascending and descending journey. The chapters of the book give current information on parasitic infestations and other diseases and disorders of migratory small ruminants, ranking of dominant parasites, information on verminous bronchitis, Peste des petit ruminant (PPR) and persistent abortion due to chlamydia infection. There is a separate chapter on Helminth and Protozoan vaccines for small ruminants, approaches to control parasitic infections like breeding for resistance to parasites and current status of vaccine use.

Mikroneuroanatomie und Chirurgie: Ein praktischer anatomischer Leitfaden
by Feres Chaddad-Neto Marcos Devanir Silva da CostaDie Mikroneuroanatomie ist für das Verständnis des Gehirns unerlässlich. Die Vermittlung von neuroanatomischen Kenntnissen ist in vielen Fällen eine schwierige Aufgabe, was jedoch vor allem an denjenigen liegt, die dieses Wissen in Kursen, Vorlesungen oder in Büchern vermitteln sollen.In Wirklichkeit ist die Neuroanatomie einfach und muss als Hilfsmittel für die Annäherung an die verschiedenen Bereiche des Gehirns und nicht als Hindernis verstanden werden. Die einzige Möglichkeit, dieses Problem zu überwinden, besteht darin, die Neuroanatomie mit verschiedenen Krankheitstypen in Beziehung zu setzen (arteriovenöse Fehlbildungen, Aneurysmen, Tumore, Kavernome, Hydrocephalus usw.).Dieses Buch bietet einen neuen Ansatz für die Beziehung zwischen Mikroneuroanatomie und Hirnerkrankungen. Jedes Kapitel befasst sich mit einer bestimmten neuroanatomischen Region und setzt alle wichtigen neuroanatomischen Aspekte mit den Krankheiten, die diese Region betreffen, in Beziehung. Außerdem bietet jedes Kapitel detaillierte Einblicke in die sichere Durchführung von hirnchirurgischen Eingriffen in der jeweiligen Region.
Mikroplastik in der aquatischen Umwelt: Quellen, Senken und Transportpfade (essentials)
by Kryss WaldschlägerMikroplastik ist derzeit ein allgegenwärtiges Thema in den Medien und wird daher auch in der Bevölkerung als umweltrelevante Problematik wahrgenommen. Da jedoch viel Halbwissen zur Meinungsbildung beiträgt, bereitet dieses essential den aktuellen Forschungstand auf und stellt ihn allgemein verständlich dar. Angefangen bei den Grundlagen der Mikroplastikdefinition und den derzeit bekannten Quellen über bisher nachgewiesene Konzentrationen in der aquatischen Umwelt bis hin zu den Senken wird der Weg des Mikroplastiks durch die Gewässer dieser Erde beschrieben. Abschließend wird auf die Umweltrisiken, die Mikroplastik für die Ökosysteme, die aquatischen Organismen und den Menschen birgt, eingegangen. Dabei werden viele Wissenslücken aufgezeigt, die zukünftig geschlossen werden müssen und die innerhalb der üblicherweise kurzen Beiträge in Massenmedien so nicht präsentiert werden.Die Autorin: Kryss Waldschläger hat Bauingenieurwesen studiert und arbeitet derzeit als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Wasserbau und Wasserwirtschaft der RWTH Aachen University. Dort untersucht sie im Rahmen ihrer Promotion das Transportverhalten von Mikroplastik in Fließgewässern.

Mild Cognitive Impairment: International Perspectives (Psychology Press & Routledge Classic Editions)
by Holly A. Tuokko David F. HultschThe Classic Edition of this foundational text includes a new preface from Holly A. Tuokko, examining how the field of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has developed since first publication. Bringing together research from multiple studies and perspectives from various countries, the volume identifies MCI as an important clinical transition between normal aging and the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The up-to-date preface highlights the expansion in research, examining the benefits of various pharmacological, cognitive and behavioral approaches to intervention. Influenced by recent findings in neuroplasticity across the lifespan, the book recognizes the importance of intervention at the earliest stages of the decline trajectory. It revisits the contested diagnostic approaches for MCI as well as the varying prevalence of MCI internationally, yet points to the need for further longitudinal studies to fully understand the condition. Mild Cognitive Impairment continues to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers and students involved in the study, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with MCI.
Mild Cognitive Impairment: International Perspectives (Studies on Neuropsychology, Neurology and Cognition)
by Holly A. Tuokko David F. HultschMild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has been identified as an important clinical transition between normal aging and the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since treatments for AD are most likely to be most effective early in the course of the disease, MCI has become a topic of great importance and has been investigated in different populations of interest in many countries. This book brings together these differing perspectives on MCI for the first time. This volume provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and students involved in the study, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with MCI. Clinical investigators initially defined mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a transitional condition between normal aging and the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Because the prevalence of AD increases with age and very large numbers of older adults are affected worldwide, these clinicians saw a pressing need to identify AD as early as possible. It is at this very early stage in the disease course that treatments to slow the progress and control symptoms are likely to be most effective. Since the first introduction of MCI, research interest has grown exponentially, and the utility of the concept has been investigated from a variety of perspectives in different populations of interest (e.g., clinical samples, volunteers, population-based screening) in many different countries. Much variability in findings has resulted. Although it has been acknowledged that the differences observed between samples may be ‘legitimate variations’, there has been no attempt to understand what it is we have learned about MCI (i.e., common features and differences) from each of these perspectives. This book brings together information about MCI in different populations from around the world. Mild Cognitive Impairment will be an important resource for any clinician, researcher, or student involved in the study, detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with MCI.

Milestones in Microwave Chemistry
by György KeglevichThis book looks back on thirty-five years of microwave (MW)chemistry and explains how the application of the MW technique became anintegral part of R&D, eventually becoming recognized in industry. Further,it details how MW chemistry has undergone a dynamic development in the pastthree decades, one driven by the advent of increasingly sophisticatedprofessional MW reactors in place of the kitchen MW ovens used in earlieryears. A major part of the book shows how substitutions, esterifications,amidations, hydrolyses, alkylations, eliminations, dehydrations, condensations,cyclizations, C-C couplings and the modification of heterocycles can beperformed advantageously under MW irradiation, as the reaction times areshorter, while the selectivity and yields are higher; it also explains why inmost cases, the reactions can be performed under solvent-free conditions. MWirradiation within the sphere of organophosphorus chemistry is showcased andtypical reactions, such as the direct derivatization of phosphinic acids,alkylating esterifications, Diels-Alder reactions, the inverse Wittig-typereaction, fragmentations, the Arbuzov reaction, the synthesis ofα-hydroxyphosphonates and α-aminophosphonates (the Kabachnik-Fieldscondensation), deoxygenations and P-C coupling reactions are described under MWconditions. In closing, the advantages of MW chemistry such as faster reactionsand the possibility of simplifying the catalytic systems are addressed.
