Ayurveda in The New Millennium: Emerging Roles and Future Challenges
by D. Suresh KumarAyurveda or "the sacred knowledge of longevity" has been practiced in India and many Asian countries since time immemorial. Interest in Ayurveda started growing all over the world in the late 1970s, following the Alma Ata Declaration adopted by the W.H.O. in 1978. Ayurveda in the New Millennium: Emerging Roles and Future Challenges attempts to survey the progress made in this field and to formulate a course of action to take Ayurveda through the new millennium. It also identifies the many stumbling blocks that need to be removed if Ayurveda is to cater to the needs of a wider audience. Features: Newer insights into the history of Ayurveda Regulatory aspects of the manufacture of ayurvedic medicines Industrial production of traditional ayurvedic medicines Quality control The scientific rationale of single herb therapy Biological effects of ayurvedic formulations Optimization of ancient wisdom and newer knowledge Conservation of threatened herbs Nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals from Ayurveda Critical view of Ayurveda in the West Direction for the Ayurveda renaissance Ayurveda in the New Millennium: Emerging Roles and Future Challenges describes the strength of Ayurveda and how to usher in the Ayurveda renaissance. This book will be of interest to proponents of Ayurveda and all branches of traditional and alternative medicine. Experts from the fields of medicine, pharmacology, new drug discovery and food technology will also find it useful.

Azimuthal Walsh Filters: A Tool to Produce 2D and 3D Light Structures (Progress in Optical Science and Photonics #10)
by Indrani Bhattacharya Lakshminarayan HazraThis book explores the possibility of using azimuthal Walsh filters as an effective tool for manipulating far-field diffraction characteristics near the focal plane of rotationally symmetric imaging systems. It discusses the generation and synthesis of azimuthal Walsh filters, and explores the inherent self-similarity presented in various orders of these filters, classifying them into self-similar groups and sub-groups. Further, it demonstrates that azimuthal Walsh filters possess a unique rotational self-similarity exhibited among adjacent orders. Serving as an atlas of diffraction phenomena with pupil functions represented by azimuthal Walsh filters of different orders, this book describes how orthogonality and self-similarity of these filters could be harnessed to sculpture 2D and 3D light distributions near the focus.

B Cell Receptor Signaling (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology #393)
by Tomohiro Kurosaki Jürgen WienandsThisvolume details our current understanding of the architecture and signalingcapabilities of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) in health and disease. Thefirst chapters review new insights into the assembly of BCR components andtheir organization on the cell surface. Subsequent contributions focus on themolecular interactions that connect the BCR with major intracellular signalingpathways such as Ca2+ mobilization, membrane phospholipidmetabolism, nuclear translocation of NF-kB orthe activation of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase and MAP kinases. These elementsorchestrate cytoplasmic and nuclear responses as well as cytoskeleton dynamicsfor antigen internalization. Furthermore, a key mechanism of how B cellsremember their cognate antigen is discussed in detail. Altogether, the discoveriespresented provide a better understanding of B cell biology and help to explainsome B cell-mediated pathogenicities, like autoimmune phenomena or theformation of B cell tumors, while also paving the way for eventually combating thesediseases.

B-C-N Nanotubes and Related Nanostructures (Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology #6)
by Yoke Khin YapCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are part of the so-called B-C-N material system, which includes novel nanostructures of carbon (C), doped-carbon, boron (B), boron nitride (BN), carbon nitride (CNx), boron-carbon nitride (BxCyNz), and boron carbide (BxCy). BNNTs and CNTs are structurally similar and share extraordinary mechanical properties, but they differ in chemical, biological, optical, and electrical properties. Therefore, hybrid nanotubes constructed of B, C, N elements are expected to form a new class of nanotubes with tunable properties between those of CNTs and BNNTs. In addition, these B-C-N nanostructures will further enhance and complement the applications of CNTs and BNNTs. With contributions from leading experts, B-C-N Nanotubes and Related Nanostructures is the first book to cover all theoretical and experimental aspects of this emerging material system, and meets the need for a comprehensive summary of the tremendous advances in research on B-C-N materials in recent years.

BASES SUBTERRANEAS detalles de confirmadas y rumoradas instalaciones subterráneas en Estados Unidos y alrededor del mundo. Conteniendo rara evidencia fotográfica a través de, así como poco conocidas frases de figuras clave gubernamentales, hace un caso competente para que haya un enorme mundo escondido majo la superficie de la Tierra. Los marroquís especulaban que la encubierta infraestructura subterránea puede ser por mucho la más grande que cualquier antes pudo haber supuesto y es posiblemente usada para el desarrollo de tecnologías suprimidas. Sus fuentes incluyen archivos desclasificados, reportes universitarios, documentos de WikiLeaks y entrevistas con personal exmilitar convertidos en soplones que aclaman haber trabajado en “ciudades bajo el suelo”. Bases Subterráneas da una amplia gama de hechos y teorías que ultimadamente permite a los lectores formar sus propias conclusiones. La exposición cubre todo desde: las áreas de evacuación verificadas del Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos bajo la Casa Blanca y el Pentágono, así como sus sitios reconocidos en Mount Weather y Cheyenne Mountain; instalaciones subterráneas en todo el mundo, incluyendo el extenso complejo Mezhgorye de Rusia y la Pine Gap de Australia, administrada por la CIA; los titulares de los periódicos que se habían olvidado hace mucho tiempo y que decían que Adolf Hitler y los altos oficiales de las SS podrían haber construido una colonia nazi bajo la Antártida después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial; los rumores de que las empresas conjuntas entre humanos y extraterrestres están ocurriendo bajo la tierra y que los ciudadanos secuestrados están siendo detenidos en prisiones subterráneas para la experimentación médica ilegal, como la clonación. ¿Por qué la Elite Glob

BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough (Palgrave Studies in Science and Popular Culture)
by Jean-Baptiste GouyonThis book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war Britain. It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough’s professional biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC—from the early 1960s, when it was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife ‘making-of’ documentary genre, which is used to trace how television progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows the development of the professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British television and students in science communication.
