Overview: Offers a comprehensive review of efforts aimed at uncovering genetic variants associated with obesity.Reviews genome-wide association studies, along with studies on monogenic and polygenic obesity.IdeObesity is a multi-factorial disease, in which an excess of accumulated body fat can reach levels capable of affecting health. It results from an interplay between environmental factors, eating behavior, genes, epigenetics, and neuronal stimuli. The main aim of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art revision about the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of obesity, revi

Overview: The disease is of international importance and so far there is no book on this title.Well illustrated and comprehensive coverage of the topic from multidisciplinary angles.Presentation and language arMalformation disease of mango (Mangifera indica) initially noted in patches in India has now turned into a global menace wherever mango is grown. The challenge posed by the problem attracted interest of Scientists from various disciplines, continue to do so, and will attract their attention until the problem is understood threadbare, and resolved. For a long time, due to complex nature o

Overview: Approaches conflicts in Southeast Asia from the perspective of conflict management in the region’s globalisation.Sheds new light on Southeast Asia’s regional stability from the standpoint of managing .This book investigates the patterns of conflict management in contemporary Southeast Asia. The region has long been characterized by the twin process of state-formation and nation-building, which has been responsible for most of the region’s intrastate and interstate conflicts. While this process is still ongoing, regional conflicts and their management are increasingly affected by glob

Overview: Includes cutting-edge techniques.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and advice from the expertsThis detailed volume collects many of the common experimental approaches used to study myogenesis. It covers subjects ranging from isolation and purification protocols, manipulation of muscle cells, transcriptomics and proteomics, metabolism and exercise, and tissue engineering. Presented methods involve different species, including human, bovine, Atlantic salmon, rats, mice, larval zebrafish, and Drosophila melanogaster. Written for the highl

Overview: Summarises the morphology, fauna and ecology of the Gonostomatidae and Kahliellidae.Including 68 species distributed in 21 genera and revised subgenera.Featuring more than 270 figures.Offers thorough .The present monograph is the fourth of six volumes which review the Hypotricha, a major group of the spirotrichs. The book is about the Gonostomatidae, the Kahliellidae, and some taxa of unknown position in the hypotrichs.. .Gonostomum. was previously misclassified in the Oxytrichidae because its type species .Gonostomum affine. has basically an 18-cirri pattern, which is dominant in th

Overview: Provides an introduction to modern straintronics.Looks at ultra-energy-efficient information processing, communication, and signal generation.Emphasizes engineering aspects more than materialsThis book covers the new field of straintronics, using strain switched nanomagnets for extremely energy-efficient computing, information processing, communication, and signal generation. Based on well-established CMOS technology, traditional electronics have two significant shortcomings: excessive energy dissipation and volatility, which is the inability to retain information after power has bee

Overview: Recent progress in the analysis and structural characterisation of materials has an increasing impact on studies of archaeological specimens. A need to embody such research into a new interdisciplinary field has appeared. In this ARW we intended to bring together archaeologists and historians with physicists, chemists, crystallographers and pharmacists, around the theme of structural information on complex archaeological materials. Within this vast area, the ARW has mainly focused on cosmetic-therapeutic chemicals. The objectives of this NATO ARW were twofold: - Delineating the conto

Overview: Latest results and research in a series of established conferences.State of the art papers, setting a benchmark and pointing the way for future developments.Good balance between theory and applicationThis volume deals with topics such as mechanism and machine design, biomechanics and medical engineering, gears, mechanical transmissions, mechatronics, computational and experimental methods, dynamics of mechanisms and machines, micromechanisms and microactuators, and history of mechanisms and transmissions..Following MeTrApp 2011 and 2013, held under the auspices of the IFToMM, these p

Overview: A background chapter on column databases and multi tenancy summarizes the key concepts of these technologies in a compact manner.A dedicated chapter on related work provides a detailed survey of the s.With the proliferation of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, it is becoming increasingly important for individual SaaS providers to operate their services at a low cost. This book investigates SaaS from the perspective of the provider and shows how operational costs can be reduced by using “multi tenancy,” a technique for consolidating a large number of customers onto a small numbe
