Utilizing the flood of new information deriving from the Human Genome Project and corresponding efforts to elucidate the mouse genome, the Handbook of Genetic Influences on the Nervous System provides a comprehensive catalog about relations between expression of specific genes and nerve cell biology and behavior, both normal and abnormal, in animals and humans. Topics addressed include genomic information of relevance to the nervous system; results of positional cloning studies; results of antisense DNA studies; experimental studies of genetic influences on CNS and behavior; and material on inherited diseases of CNS and behavior in humans.
The Penguin Dictionary of Biology: Eleventh Edition
"The Penguin Dictionary of Biology" defines some 6,000 terms relating to this rich, complex, and constantly expanding subject -- from amino acids, bacteria, and the cell cycle to X-ray diffraction, Ychromosomes, and zygotes. Long established as the definitive single-volume source, the dictionary has now been extensively updated for its eleventh edition. With expanded encyclopedic entries to explain the most crucial concepts, it explores the very latest discoveries and developments, containing more than 400 new entries to take account of the latest thinking on genetics, human physiology, disease, and cell biology. All key botanical and zoological concepts as well as the core vocabulary of biochemistry, immunology, evolutionary theory, and ecology are defined in depth, making this the ideal reference for students, teachers, professionals, and amateur biologists.

Parkinson's Disease: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed
Parkinson's disease-a chronic disorder that causes a progressive loss of nerve cell function in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement-is an incurable neurological condition with debilitating symptoms. Over 1.5 million Americans are affected, and the numbers continue to grow. From the first moment of her Parkinson's diagnosis, author Jackie Christensen took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step by step through their first year with Parkinson's. She provides crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, charts and tables, social concerns, emotional issues, networking with others, and much more. The First Year-Parkinson's Disease will be an invaluable guide for all those who want to be an informed, active participant in the management of their condition.

Immunopharmacology of Macrophages and Other Antigen-Presenting Cells
The consequences for diseases involving the immune system such as AIDS, and chronic inflammatory diseases such as bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis, now account for a considerable economic burden to governments worldwide. In response there has been an enormous research effort investigating the basic mechanisms underlying such diseases, and a tremendous drive to identify novel therapeutic applications for their prevention and treatment. Though a plethora of immunological studies have been published in recent years, little has been written about the implications of such research for drug development. As a consequence, this area has not gained the prominence of other new fields such as molecular pharmacology or neuropharmacology, and a focal information source for the many pharmacologists interested in diseases of the immune system remains unpublished.
The Handbook of Immunopharmacology Series provides such a source through the commissioning of a comprehensive...

Power Management in Mobile Devices
Now that "mobile" has become standard, the consumer not only expects mobility but demands longevity in wireless devices. As more and more features, computing power, and memory are packed into mobile devices such as iPods, cell phones, and cameras, there isa large and growing gap between what devices can do and the amount of energy batteries can deliver. In fact, the main limiting factor in many portable device designs is not hardware or software, but instead how much power can be delivered by a battery.
This book describes various design approaches to reduce the amount of power a circuit consumes and techniques to effectively manage the available power from a battery.

Fundamentals of Psychoneuroimmunology by Brian E. Leonard, ISBN 0471986712
The long-held concept that the nervous, endocrine and immune systems are separate entities has given way to a new understanding of human biology. Psychoneuroimmunology addresses the realisation that the neural, immune, and endocrine systems are inextricably linked and that the effects of each affect all-the systems work together as a complicated set of triggers and balances, an intertwining of the physiological and emotional states. Beginning with the fundamentals of immune and neuroendocrine function, Fundamentals of Psychoneuroimmunology explores the complexities of behavioural assessment, the basic types of immunity, the importance of immune cell redistribution in the response to challenges such as infection and stress, and the multifaceted roles of nerves, hormones and cytokines. This text provides a sound introduction to the field and also serves as a valuable reference to those more familiar with the subject. Fundamentals of Psychoneuroimmunology: Is the first book to cover this rapidly...

Submerged (2005) (Widescreen)
Steven Seagal ("Belly Of The Beast," "Out For A Kill"), the free world's most "independent" anti-terrorist agent, is going down under - not to foreign ports but submerged, under the sea, where waves of deceit are set to torpedo his command permanently. Chris Cody (Seagal) is summoned from his military prison cell and promised a presidential pardon - with a hitch. An American Ambassador has been assassinated - by the U.S. Secret Service. Now the C.I.A. wants Cody to uncover and terminate this deadly operation, but they don't tell him the truth. Cody ends up overpowered and trapped beneath the waves but hardly out of his depth.
