Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets: A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the biology prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases. Studies of pet dogs for instance can aid treatment of complex medical problems such as cancer orthopedic cardiopulmonary and neuro-inflammatory diseases and zoonotic infections. Each chapter within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a leader or leaders in their field of research. Using clinical trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine as well as benefiting pets suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities of diseases across species there are very few spontaneous models of disease used in research compared with models where disease is induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the imperative communication styles necessary within the research environment and with clients a compelling discussion on the ethics of using pets in veterinary clinical research comprehensive tables of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans the regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside research to patient bedside as well as intricate details on how to design a robust clinical study. | Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R

Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R

In response to an infection (e. g. from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses) the immune system can deplete macrophages (specialized white blood cells) and produce cytokines that are pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. This counterproductive autoimmune response is represented mathematically as nonlinear chemotaxis diffusion. This book is directed to the computer-based modeling of chemotaxis inflammation. The spatiotemporal analysis is based on a model of three partial differential equations (PDEs). The three PDE model is coded (programmed) as a set of routines in R a quality open-source scientific programming system. The numerical integration (solution) of the PDEs is by the method of lines (MOL). The three PDE model can be used for computer-based experimentation for example parameter variation and changes in the model equations or alternate models to enhance a quantitative understanding of a postulated inflammation. This experimentation is illustrated by chapters pertaining to: (1) the computation and display of the PDE time derivatives (2) the RHS terms of the PDEs with emphasis on the chemotaxis terms (3) parameter variations to demonstrate parameter effects and sensitivities and (4) additonal terms in the PDEs to include PDE coupling and extensions of the basic PDE model. | Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation PDE Computer Analysis in R
