Within the United States, minority and low-income communities
currently bear a disproportionate amount of risk associated with
pollution and other harmful environmental practices. The
environmental justice movement is working to change this fact,
promoting the fair and non-discriminatory treatment of all people
with respect to environmental issues, policies, and regulations.
This fascinating and timely volume explores the relationship
between environmental justice and the government, offering a
comprehensive introduction to the legal, economic, and
philosophical concerns involved in pursuing environmental justice
goals within a federalist system.The authors discuss two case
studies in their investigation of the complex interactions between
environmental justice and government. These analyses offer a
comprehensive view of both the siting and regulation of polluting
activities, as well as a discussion of the effects on major natural
resources such as clean air and drinking water. In each case, the
authors both describe current government responses to the problem
and offer specific recommendations regarding what actions should be
taken in the future. This authoritative book will make an
invaluable addition to courses in environmental law and policy.
Professionals and policymakers working in disciplines such as law,
economics, environmental science, philosophy and political science
will also find this a comprehensive and critical reference.

This book is a truly comprehensive, timely, and very much needed
treatise on the conceptualization of analysis, and design of
contactless & multimodal sensor-based human activities,
behavior understanding & intervention. From an interaction
design perspective, the book provides views and methods that allow
for more safe, trustworthy, efficient, and more natural interaction
with technology that will be embedded in our daily living
environments. The chapters in this book cover sufficient grounds
and depth in related challenges and advances in sensing, signal
processing, computer vision, and mathematical modeling. It covers
multi-domain applications, including surveillance and elderly care
that will be an asset to entry-level and practicing engineers and
scientists.(See inside for the reviews from top experts)

Chronic Psychological stress has several adverse effects both on
HIV- people and on HIV+ patient. When the HIV- people are
concerned, stress makes them more susceptible to HIV infection.
T-cells have CXCR4 receptor and Macrophage have CCR5 receptor which
can bind with both glucocorticoid and catecholamine hormone. HIV
has GP120 protein which has to bind with both CD4 and CXCR4/CCR5
receptor for its entry into the host cells. Mental stress increases
glucocorticoid and catecholamine concentration in blood. When these
stress hormones, glucocorticoid and catecholamine, bind with the
CXCR4/CCR5 receptors, cAMP signaling pathway gets activated. This
signal transduction pathway leads to the synthesis of more CXCR4
and CCR5 receptors by those cells, which in turn become more
susceptible to HIV infection. Stress inhibits Th2 when the cell
produces INF- as a response to viral attacks. So that other cells
remain vulnerable to viral infection. When T-cell count is
decreased in the blood, the body cannot protect itself from other
opportunistic infectious pathogens. As a result progression of AIDS
is increased."
