TITAN Interior, Surface, Atmosphere, and Space Environment
by Ingo Müller-Wodarg Caitlin A. Griffith Emmanuel Lellouch Thomas E. CravensTitan, the largest of Saturn's moons, shares remarkable similarities with Earth. Its thick atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen; it features the most complex organic chemistry known outside of Earth and, uniquely, hosts an analog to Earth's hydrological cycle, with methane forming clouds, rain and seas. Using the latest data from the ongoing Cassini–Huygens missions, laboratory measurements and numerical simulations, this comprehensive reference examines the physical processes that shape Titan's fascinating atmospheric structure and chemistry, weather, climate, circulation and surface geology. The text also surveys leading theories about Titan's origin and evolution, and assesses their implications for understanding the formation of other complex planetary bodies. Written by an international team of specialists, chapters offer detailed, comparative treatments of Titan's known properties and discuss the latest frontiers in the Cassini–Huygens mission, offering students and researchers of planetary science, geology, astronomy and space physics an insightful reference and guide.

TMS and Neuroethics (Advances in Neuroethics)
by Veljko Dubljević Jonathan R. YoungAs transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) continues to expand from a tool of neuroscience research into a growing array of clinical applications, it presents a number of open questions that both invite and complicate ethical evaluation. Empirically supported concerns remain regarding interactions between TMS and psychiatric medications or other interventions, the potential for adverse effects in stimulated brain regions, and whether modulation of brain activity—particularly via changes in oscillatory states—might affect aspects of personhood. This volume explores the ethical landscape surrounding TMS in both research and clinical settings. Prior neuroethics literature has largely focused on theoretical implications of neurostimulation technologies, including conceptual clarification (e.g., invasiveness) and normative questions regarding the alignment of these technologies with societal values. However, while some empirical work has captured perspectives from TMS patients, many key voices—such as those of family members, clinicians, and underrepresented communities—have remained absent from scholarly discussions. Spanning historical reflection, theoretical debate, empirical analysis, and clinical insight, this collection features contributions from scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of neuroethics, neuroscience, psychiatry, and biomedical engineering. Part I of the volume offers historical and theoretical reflections, including the origins and growth of TMS research, racial disparities in access and participation, caregiver perspectives, and emerging issues related to cognitive enhancement, non-clinical use, and applications in social neuroscience and creativity. Part II turns to new directions and ethical issues in clinical TMS research, addressing treatment subgrouping, adolescent and geriatric use, mood and substance use disorders, suicidality, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Together, these chapters provide an interdisciplinary examination of the ethical, clinical, and societal dimensions of TMS. Whether as an introduction to the neuroethics of brain stimulation or as a resource for neuroscientists, clinicians, engineers, and ethicists, this volume aims to foster greater understanding and dialogue around the responsible development and application of TMS.
TMS and tDCS for Psychiatric Disorders: Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
by Wei Zheng Yuping NingThis book primarily examines the clinical utilization of TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) for various psychiatric conditions including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorders, and neurocognitive disorders. This book is tailored for students in clinical psychiatry, mental health professionals, and researchers specializing in psychiatric studies. It systematically presents the safety and efficacy of TMS and tDCS in the context of psychiatric disorders, while standardizing treatment protocols and operational techniques. The ultimate goal is to provide guidance for the clinical implementation of TMS and tDCS and to promote the standardization of these treatment modalities in the future.
TNF Superfamily
by Sanjay V. KhareThe tumor necrosis factor/receptor [TNF/TNFR] superfamily consists of more than 20 transmembrane proteins with conserved N-terminal cysteine-rich domains [CRDs] in the extracellular ligand binding region. Members have wide tissue distribution and play important roles in biological processes such as lymphoid and neuronal development, innate and adaptive immune response, and cellular homeostasis. The chapters of this book address some of the most interesting functions of the TNF/TNFR superfamily.
