Social pressure to minimize the use of animal testing, the
ever-increasing concern on animal welfare, and the need for more
human-relevant and more predictive toxicity tests are some of the
drivers for new approaches to chemical screening. This book focuses
on The Adverse Outcome Pathway, an analytical construct that
describes a sequential chain of causally linked events at different
levels of biological organization that lead to an adverse health or
ecotoxicological effect. While past efforts have focused on
toxicological pathway-based vision for human and ecological health
assessment relying on in vitro systems and predictive models, The
Adverse Outcome Pathway framework provides a simplified and
structured way to organize toxicological information. Within the
book, a systems biology approach supplies the tools to infer, link,
and quantify the molecular initiating events and the key events and
key event relationships leading to adverse outcomes. The
advancement of these tools is crucial for the successful
implementation of AOPs for regulatory purposes.
There are many books that celebrate our canine friends, but few so
colourfully and evocatively demonstrate the sheer enjoyment they
experience just from being a dog. The photographs in this book are
not about the bond between us and our canine companions, the
results of dog training, or the ever-expanding canine wardrobe.
Rather, the focus is on how dogs behave when they are freed from
everyday constraints, and can indulge their natural instincts. The
unsung heroes here are the owners, who, after ensuring that their
beloved best friend would be safe, let him or her run free to
interact with others for the photoshoot. The resultant images
showcase pure doggie delight - as the expressions on the dogs'
faces demonstrate! Whether chasing balls or other dogs,
mud-bathing, swimming, or rolling, this is a joyous celebration of
dogs simply enjoying themselves!
