G Protein-Coupled Receptor Genetics: Research and Methods in the
Post-Genomic Era features practical techniques inspired by the fast
moving GPCR field. From powerful bioinformatic tools tracing the
evolution of GPCRs, to methods for the cellular transfection of
engineered viruses containing GPCRs, to optogenetic techniques that
produce light-activated GPCRs in live mice, what was once science
fiction is now science fact. This detailed volume includes sections
covering genetic mechanisms, a genetic toolbox for GPCR discovery,
as well as genetic aspects of G protein-coupled receptors in health
and medicine. Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and
Toxicology series, this book contains the kind of key
implementation advice that encourages successful results in the
lab. Authoritative and easy to use, G Protein-Coupled Receptor
Genetics: Research and Methods in the Post-Genomic Era serves as an
ideal guide for researchers aiming to continue our progress in this
dynamic and exciting area of study.
The goal of the characterization and discovery of G protein-coupled
receptors, arguably the most important class of signaling molecules
in humans and other vertebrates, has spawned numerous vital
methodologies. In Methods for the Discovery and Characterization of
G Protein-Coupled Receptors, experts in the field present the very
latest on the methods and technology used to characterize and
discover novel mechanisms of GPCRs which, in many cases, can be
used directly to design experiments for the reader's particular
GPCR of interest and their specific avenue of investigation.
Divided into four convenient sections, this detailed volume covers
GPCRs in the genome, trafficking of GPCRs, GPCRs on the membrane,
as well as the regulation of these key receptors. Chapters also
feature an important section called "Future Directions" which gives
the reader an insight into advances soon to be realized in each
area. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, this book
contains the kind of detailed description and implementation advice
that is crucial for getting optimal results. Authoritative and
cutting-edge, Methods for the Discovery and Characterization of G
Protein-Coupled Receptors serves as an ideal guide for scientists
determined to further our knowledge of crucially important set of
receptors.

Religion has been on the rise in America for decades-which strikes
many as a shocking new development. To the contrary, Jason Stevens
asserts, the rumors of the death of God were premature. Americans
have always conducted their cultural life through religious
symbols, never more so than during the Cold War. In God-Fearing and
Free, Stevens discloses how the nation, on top of the world and
torn between grandiose self-congratulation and doubt about the
future, opened the way for a new master narrative. The book shows
how the American public, powered by a national religious revival,
was purposefully disillusioned regarding the country's mythical
innocence and fortified for an epochal struggle with
totalitarianism. Stevens reveals how the Augustinian doctrine of
original sin was refurbished and then mobilized in a variety of
cultural discourses that aimed to shore up democratic society
against threats preying on the nation's internal weaknesses.
Suddenly, innocence no longer meant a clear conscience. Instead it
became synonymous with totalitarian ideologies of the fascist right
or the communist left, whose notions of perfectability were
dangerously close to millenarian ideals at the heart of American
Protestant tradition. As America became riddled with self-doubt,
ruminations on the meaning of power and the future of the globe
during the "American Century" renewed the impetus to religion.
Covering a wide selection of narrative and cultural forms, Stevens
shows how writers, artists, and intellectuals, the devout as well
as the nonreligious, disseminated the terms of this cultural
dialogue, disputing, refining, and challenging it-effectively
making the conservative case against modernity as liberals
floundered.
Practical, in-depth knowledge of the system programming interfaces
that drive the UNIX and Linux kernels Building on W. Rich Stevens'
pioneering work, this third edition of the classic was updated by
Steve Rago, a colleague of Stevens, to reflect technical advances
and best practices aligning with Version 4 of the Single UNIX
Specification. This edition covers more than seventy interfaces
including: POSIX asynchronous I/O Spin locks Barriers POSIX
semaphores Steve carefully retains the spirit and approach that
have made this book so valuable, starting with files, directories,
and processes, carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced
techniques, such as signal handling and terminal I/O. And he
thoroughly covers threads and multithreaded programming, and
socket-based IPC. Filled with examples, case-studies, and access to
thousands of lines of downloadable code, Advanced Programming in
the UNIX (R) Environment has helped generations of programmers
write code with exceptional power, performance, and reliability.
The Drug Expert: A Practical Guide to the Impact of Drug Use in
Legal Proceedings targets academic and industry pharmacologists,
pharmacology graduate students, and professionals and students of
affiliated disciplines, such as pharmacy and toxicology. Users will
find it to be an invaluable reference for those involved in the
field. In addition, pharmacists and others who increasingly serve
as expert witnesses and toxicologists will find an array of very
useful information.
The Sissification Of America: A Fifty-Year Decline In American
Exceptionalism, is a nonfiction narrative which addresses current
events within the context of comparing America's vibrant history to
its contemporary era. The book specifically examines how the
federal government and some of our nation's public and private
institutions have gradually led the nation down a precipitous
fifty-year decline of virtues that once made America unique in
world history. This intriguing book focuses on American virtues
consisting of: a spirit of independence and rugged individualism, a
thriving work ethic, honesty, capitalism, competition, excellence
in education, limited government, Godliness, and a Judaic-Christian
rectitude of impeccable character. While these virtues are still
evident in America today, they exist to a much lesser degree when
compared to the years between 1620 and 1961. The seven chapters of
this book touch upon many topics that correlate directly with these
unique American virtues and their declining influence upon society
such as: the demise of common sense; the continual assault being
waged upon the individual rights and freedoms of all Americans; the
squelching of states' rights by the leviathan federal government;
the breakdown of the traditional family unit due to fatherless
homes, the feminization of our culture, the feminization of
America's public schools, and the feminization of our nation's men
and boys; last-but certainly not least-the controversial issues
confronting America's public schools and teachers. Be prepared to
experience a wild roller coaster ride as you read The Sissification
of America: A Fifty-Year Decline in American Exceptionalism
