Stem Cells and Bone Tissue

Stem Cells and Bone Tissue

Stem cells potentially offer a novel therapeutic platform to treat bone disease. They also help the scientist understand the molecular and cellular aetiology of bone disorders. Gaining knowledge on the nature and application of stem cell sciences is a prerequisite for understanding their potential in treating or preventing bone disorders. Stem Cells and Bone Tissue is designed to address these areas in three sections: Introductory Text and Sources of Stem Cells for Skeletal Tissue Cellular and Molecular Aspects Conditions Applications Treatments and Repairs Coverage includes general aspects of stems cells sources of stems cells isolation and purification applications in regeneration nanoscale topography myostatin (GDF-8) signalling c-Jun Lnk cell-derived Factor 1/CXCR4 chromatin remodelling osteoporosis osteoarthritis hypophosphatasia osteopetrosis osteogenesis and many other areas of merit too numerous to mention.

Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification A Color Atlas

Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification A Color Atlas

When a bone of unknown origin is found at a location forensic implications arise immediately. Is this bone human and if so is it evidence of a murder? Human and Non-Human Bone Identification: A Color Atlas presents a comprehensive handbook of photographs and other information essential for law enforcement and forensic anthropologists when examining skeletal remains and determining species and body parts. Presenting over 3000 color photographs this atlas is a practical comparative guide to the differences among species for nearly all bones in the body. Useful in either the laboratory or the field it features images of the types of bones that are most commonly discovered and provides annotations pointing out salient features. The book begins with a section on general osteology and explains the major anatomical differences between humans and other animals. It compares human and non-human bones categorized by type of bone and includes most of the major bones in humans and non-humans. The third section discusses non-human skeletal elements categorized by species and explores numerous skeletal elements within those species.

Bone Histology An Anthropological Perspective

Bone Histology An Anthropological Perspective

A broad understanding of bone and tooth microstructure is necessary for constructing the biological profile of an individual or individuals within a population. Bone Histology: An Anthropological Perspective brings together authors with extensive experience and expertise in various aspects of hard tissue histology to provide a comprehensive discussion of the application of methods current theories and future directions in hard tissue research related to anthropological questions. Topics discussed include:The biology underlying skeletal growth and development leading to adult skeletal morphologyCurrent research in understanding in bone modelingHistological features of dental hard tissues and their utility in biological anthropologyHistological analysis as a means to differentiate human from nonhuman bone and for the purpose of age estimationThe biomechanics of cortical boneHistotaphonomy and how postmortem microstructural change can be used for taphonomic inquiryThe application of light microscopy in paleopathology to classify pathological conditionsThe histological study of bone tissue of archaeological originResearchers’ access to collections of bone samples with known demographic informationTechnological aspects of hard tissue histology including laboratory requirements and high-resolution imagingIn most cases the physical remains of humans available to bioarchaeologists paleopathologists and paleontologists are limited to skeletal material. Fortunately these hard tissues are a storehouse of information about biological processes experienced during the life of an individual. This volume provides an overview of the current state of research and potential applications in anthropology and other fields that employ a histological approach to the study of hard tissues. | Bone Histology An Anthropological Perspective

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

In the last forty years at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how. When engineers deal with major projects such as the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa they need high-tech solutions. More often than not however they deal with the foundations for warehouses schools medium-rise buildings and residential structures projects that need low-tech solutions. Ninety percent of the time consulting engineers don't require mathematical treatment or computer analysis they require experience. Soil engineering problems cannot be resolved with textbook information alone. This book provides the practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics the use of unconfined compression test data the meaning of consolidated tests the practical value of lateral pressure and more. In addition to the technical aspects of foundation investigation in the real world the shadow of litigation looms over every consultant's head. The author covers legal issues in detail. After several years in foundation investigation most consultants realize that soil engineering is a combination of art and science. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation demystifies this connection and supplies real-world examples of practical applications. This hands-on ready reference will be essential tool for any consultant working in the field. | Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Environmental Science and Technology A Sustainable Approach to Green Science and Technology Second Edition

Formally established by the EPA nearly 15 years ago the concept of green chemistry is beginning to come of age. Although several books cover green chemistry and chemical engineering none of them transfer green principles to science and technology in general and their impact on the future. Defining industrial ecology Environmental Science and Technology: A Sustainable Approach to Green Science and Technology provides a general overview of green science and technology and their essential role in ensuring environmental sustainability. Written by a leading expert the book provides the essential background for understanding green science and technology and how they relate to sustainability. In addition to the hydrosphere atmosphere geosphere and biosphere traditionally covered in environmental science books this book is unique in recognizing the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment. The author explains how the anthrosphere can be designed and operated in a manner that does not degrade environmental quality and in most favorable circumstances may even enhance it. With the current emphasis shifting from end-of-pipe solutions to pollution prevention and control of resource consumption green principles are increasingly moving into the mainstream. This book provides the foundation not only for understanding green science and technology but also for taking its application to the next level. | Environmental Science and Technology A Sustainable Approach to Green Science and Technology Second Edition
