Diverse in chemical nature, water soluble and lipid soluble
vitamins are essential micronutrients that react with specific
protein entities and are transported to sites for participation in
intracellular events, both at the genomic and non-genomic levels.
Thus, metabolic pathways and intracellular signaling are influenced
by vitamins or their derivatives through vitamin binding to
specific proteins. Vitamin-Binding Proteins: Functional
Consequences examines the function of various vitamins based on
this binding, as well as their role as antioxidants, leading to
effects on intracellular mechanisms. This book explores the
resulting functional consequences at the level of cells, tissues,
and organs as well as the neurological, endocrine, and immune
systems. The text addresses the effects that lead to both normal
physiological function and pharmacological activity with
significant therapeutic potential in a wide spectrum of disease
processes. Leading experts discuss various vitamins including the
function of retinoids in development, immunity, and obesity; the
role of vitamin D in the immune system, infectious processes, and
cardiovascular disease; and the effects of vitamins E, C, and K on
the vascular system. Chapters cover the therapeutic potential of
the vitamin B6 vitamer pyridoxamine and the lipid-soluble
B1analogue benfotiamine. They also describe various functions of
biotin as well as gene transcriptional regulation through biotin
and biotin-binding proteins. The text addresses folate
receptor-mediated therapeutics, vitamin B12 derivatives in tumor
targeting, and implication of ascorbic acid in different disorders.
Expounding newer areas of vitamin function, this book explores the
interface of physiological vitamin function and pharmacological
vitamin action, offering a broad perspective of possible vitamin
binding therapeutics.

Municipal Solid Waste Energy Conversion in Emerging Countries:
Technologies, Best Practices, Challenges and Policy presents
contributions from authors from India, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia,
Ecuador, Mexico, South Africa and China who come together to
present the most reliable technologies for the energy conversion of
municipal solid waste. The book addresses existing economic and
policy scenarios and possible pathways to increase energy access
and reduce the negative impacts of inadequate disposal. The book's
authors discuss anaerobic digestion and other MSW conversion
technologies, such as incineration and gasification. The
environmental and social impacts of their introduction in small
villages in emerging countries is also explored. Due to its focus
on local authors and its pragmatic approach, this book is
indispensable for bioenergy researchers and practitioners in
emerging economies, as well as researchers, graduate students and
professionals interested in developing waste to energy technology
that can be implemented in those regions. It is also particularly
useful to professionals interested in energy policy and economics,
due to its assessment of policy and recommendations.
Tobacco has been variously hailed as a gift from the gods, a
miraculous cure-all for life's physical ills, a solace to the
lonely soldier or sailor, a filthy habit, a corrupting addiction,
and the greatest disease-producing product known to man. Tobacco in
any form is a major independent risk factor for the development of
oral and pharyngeal cancer and other malignancies of the upper
aerodigestive tract. Tobacco contains several distinct compounds,
some of which are capable of inducing mutagenesis, and facilitate
tumorigenesis. It is believed that they exert their action by
damaging the DNA and therefore inducing mutations and could
ultimately lead to cancer. The dangers posed to oral health from
smoking and chewing tobacco are well documented within the dental
literature but the public's lack of knowledge of the risks is a
concern. However it is vital that more is done to ensure that
public awareness of tobacco-related oral diseases continues to
improve and more people are regularly screened. The combination of
providing opportunistic advice, together with regular screening
will reduce the overall morbidity and mortality from oral cancer
and other mouth disorders.
Mild steel suffers from severe corrosion in aggressive medium of
acids during pickling processes. The use of inhibitors is one of
the most effective and practical methods of protection of corrosion
of metals in acid medium. Hydrochloric acid is widely used for
pickling, descaling and chemical cleaning processes of mild steel.
About 90% of pickling problems can be solved by introducing
appropriate picking inhibitor to the medium. Owing to strict
environmental legislation the emphasis is being focused on
development of naturally occurring substances as corrosion
inhibitors. Due to ease of application, cost effectiveness,
environmentally safe, soluble and highly stable nature in acidic
solutions, in this study, the inhibitory effect of six plant
extracts Adathoda vasica, Aegle marmelos, Centella asiatica,
Eclipta alba, Ocimum sanctum, Solanum trilobatum on the corrosion
of mild steel in 1N hydrochloric acid was investigated by Weight
loss method, Gasometric method, Potentiodynamic Polarization method
and Impedance method and found to be effective corrosion pickling
inhibitors.
This book describes a method of cephalometric evaluation of the
craniofacial complex. Although the cephalometric analysis is
inspired by the counterpart principle of Enlow, certain parameters
in the vertical evaluation of the craniofacial complex as described
in this book are different and cannot be found in many books on
cephalometrics or orthodontics. Also, several additional ratios
have been established for sagittal evaluation. All the measurements
in this book are expressed as ratios. The inclination of cranial
base is the only angular measurement evaluated. The sagittal and
vertical segments, the facial heights, the facial depth are some of
the parameters described and measured in this book. The book also
elaborates on the segments of the craniofacial complex that are in
dimensional balance and those that are in imbalance.
The author explores the concept of sustainable peace which she
regards as a major aspiration of the modernecumenical movement in
the post World War 2 period. Many who promote official ecumenism
consider justice and freedom as two of the constitutive elements of
sustainable peace and a condition for human existence. As part of
this discussion she views the tension between voluntarily chosen
evangelical poverty and forced poverty that arise in ecumenical
discussions as a major challenge to sustainable peace in the 21st
century. She introduces the concept of informal ecumenism as the
religious culture born out of the immigrants' struggle to hold a
balance between their religious identity and the secular identity
of the nations in which they live.The characteristics that emerge
out of the worship life of the immigrants are depicted as the
spirit of informal ecumenism that can contribute to the renewal of
Protestant ecumenism. She treats the Asian Diaspora communities as
examples, and traces both the ambiguities and promises of immigrant
life, and shows how their longing for sustainable peace contributes
to their eventual evolution as "pilgrims of peace."
Sloth Bear: The Barefoot Bear of Sri Lanka synthesises the author's
body of research and experiences while working on the subspecies of
sloth bear in Sri Lanka. Accompanied by beautiful photographs, the
book provides readers with access to scientific information of
urgent conservation concern delivered in a non-technical style.
Meet one of the most enigmatic animals of the lowland forests: the
sloth bear. This book provides a wealth of resources and imagery on
the biology, ecology, and behaviour of sloth bears; sloth bear
habitat and the rising threats to it from human population growth;
and the difficult relationship between humans and sloth bears.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an
essential and inspiring read for both professional ecologists and
non-specialist readers interested in the challenges of large
carnivore conservation and workable solutions for human-bear
coexistence. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this book will
go to the Bear Conservation Fund of the International Association
for Bear Research and Management. The fund supports bear research
activities and conservation projects to understand and sustain bear
populations across the world.
