The Complete Guide to the ABC Molecular Biology Certification Exam

In 2009 the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) authored the report Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward. In it the Committee expressed the need for accreditation and certification. Accreditation long recognized by public labs as an important benchmark in quality was recognized as an important way to standardize laboratories that provide forensic services. Certification can play an important role as a method of oversight in the forensic sciences—something also recommended by the - National Commission on Forensic Science in October 2014. The Complete Guide to the ABC's Molecular Biology is a professional certification examination preparation text for forensic scientists taking the American Board of Criminalistics Examination in Molecular Biology. The book serves as a resource for forensic scientists—who are facing more and more pressure to become certified—to support them in their pursuit of forensic certification.

Cannabis A Complete Guide

Cannabis A Complete Guide

Cannabis sativa is best known as the source of marijuana the world’s most widely consumed illicit recreational drug. However the plant is also extremely useful as a source of stem fiber edible seed oil and medicinal compounds all of which are undergoing extremely promising research technological applications and business investment. Indeed despite its capacity for harm as a recreational drug cannabis has phenomenal potential for providing new products to benefit society and for generating extensive employment and huge profits. Misguided policies until recently have prevented legitimate research on the beneficial properties of cannabis but there is now an explosion of societal scientific and political support to reappraise and remove some of the barriers to usage. Unfortunately there is also a corresponding dearth of objective analysis. Towards redressing the limitation of information Cannabis: A Complete Guide is a comprehensive reference summarizing botanical business chemical ecological genetic historical horticultural legal and medical considerations that are critical for the wise advancement and management of cannabis in its various forms. This book documents both the risks and benefits of what is indisputably one of the world’s most important species. The conflicting claims for medicinal virtues and toxicological vices are examined based mainly on the most recent authoritative scientific reviews. The attempt is made consistently to reflect majority scientific opinion although many aspects of cannabis are controversial. Aside from the relevance to specialists the general public should find the presentation attractive because of the huge interest today in marijuana. Unfortunately society has become so specialized and compartmentalized that most people have limited appreciation of the importance of science to their lives except when a topic like marijuana becomes sensationalized. This review of cannabis can serve as a vehicle for public education in the realm of science and technology. Indeed towards the goal of disseminating the important information in this book to a wide audience the presentation is user-friendly concise and well-illustrated in the hope that non-specialists will find the topics both informative and entertaining. | Cannabis A Complete Guide

Magnolia The Genus Magnolia

Magnolia The Genus Magnolia

The genus Magnolia consists of several medicinally important species most of which come from Far East Asia. Many species of this genus have traditionally been used in China and Japan to treat various illnesses from simple headaches to complicated cancer and because of their versatility have more recently been incorporated into commercially successful medicine preparations. And with the revival of interest in herbal and oriental traditional medicines many of these Magnolia-containing preparations have captured a significant proportion of the drug market in the Western countries. In recent years several studies have been performed with Magnolia species resulting in the isolation of a number of bioactive compounds and discovery of new biological and pharmacological activities. This book deals comprehensively with many aspects of the genus Magnolia detailing areas such as phytochemistry pharmacology toxicology quality control and commercial significance. | Magnolia The Genus Magnolia

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy philosophers interested in physics and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

Air safety is right now at a point where the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are far lower than the chances to winning a jackpot in any of the major lotteries. However keeping or improving that performance level requires a critical analysis of some events that despite scarce point to structural failures in the learning process. The effect of these failures could increase soon if there is not a clear and right development path. This book tries to identify what is wrong why there are things to fix and some human factors principles to keep in aircraft design and operations.

Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

The world water problems are a due to bad governance not to physical water scarcity. This book is inspired by this statement and explores whether it holds in a specific country Spain where climatic conditions – Spain is one of the most arid countries of the European Union - would fully justify saying that water problems are due to physical water scarcity. The metrification of water uses and their monetary value is a first important step in understanding how reallocation of water among users could help mitigating many of current water problems in Spain. However water reallocation among users or from users to nature is far from simple. Initiatives portrayed as the solution to the water governance ‘jigsaw’ – e. g. water trade improved water use efficiency users collective action public participation – are not free of difficulties and shortcomings. The book explores the growing need for maintaining Spain’s natural capital and the human component of water governance – people’s needs wishes (vested) interests aspirations – that often determine the result of decisions and sometimes lead water management to a deadlock. This book takes a step forward in showing a more complex - and also closer to reality - picture of water governance in Spain. | Water Agriculture and the Environment in Spain: can we square the circle?

Motorcycling and Leisure Understanding the Recreational PTW Rider

Motorcycling and Leisure Understanding the Recreational PTW Rider

Despite the fact that there are around 1. 2 million powered two wheelers (PTWs) within the United Kingdom riders are often misconceived as living at the edge of society; however this is often far from the truth. Riding a PTW is a high-risk activity and those who ride are often perceived as being 'risk junkies' but through an in-depth exploration of this leisure activity Motorcycling and Leisure explains that riders ride because they enjoy it and do not necessarily enjoy the risk involved. The book presents a range of contemporary research on riders and how they find enjoyment. The book further explores the rider goal of enjoyment and utilises Fuller's task homeostasis theory along with Csikszentmihalyi's theory of flow to develop an understanding of the interaction between risk and goals. In conclusion it develops principles of interventions with the aim of guiding intervention design and reducing the number of motorcycle crashes. | Motorcycling and Leisure Understanding the Recreational PTW Rider
