Overview: The first time that experts in the field of redox chemistry, bioinformatics and proteomics, redox signaling and oxidative stress biology have come together to discuss how organisms achieve the approprMany physiological conditions such as host defense or aging and pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes are associated with the accumulation of high levels of reactive oxygen speciesand reactive nitrogen species. This generates a condition called oxidative stress. Low levels of reactive oxygen species, however, which are continuously produced during aerob

Overview: Organisationsveränderungen zählen zu den wichtigsten Strategien, um der Dynamik im internationalen Markt und den Wettbewerbsbedingungen gerecht zu werden. Mobilisierung zielt dagegen auf eine effektivere Allokation sowie eine effizientere Nutzung der im Unternehmen vorhandenen Ressourcen, um so dauerhaft im jeweiligen Wettbewerbsumfeld bestehen zu können. Michael A. Deeken setzt beide Konzepte miteinander in Verbindung und zeigt, daß diese sich wechselseitig bedingen. Anhand einer Fallstudie im Bankensektor diskutiert der Autor, wie Organisationsentwürfe in organisatorische Wirklichk

Overview: Since the first edition of this volume was published in 1976, interest in the problem of intelligence in general and infant intelligence in particu­ lar has continued to grow. The response to the first edition was hearten­ ing: many readers found it a source of information for the diverse areas of study in infant intelligence. Because of the success of that volume, we have decided to issue a second edition. This edition is in many ways both similar to and different from the first. Its similarity lies in the fact that many of the themes and many of the contributors remain the same. It

Overview: Review knowledge in oxidative stress.Revisit pivotal signaling of oxidative stress in human diseases.Discuss anti-oxidant strategies: natural products and drug repurposing.This book offers a systematic review of the cutting-edge knowledge in stress medicine. Cellular redox imbalance, resulting from overproduction of reactive oxide species (ROS), leads to oxidative stress and subsequent occurrence and development of many diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, pain, .etc.. In addition, ROS can induce post-translational modification of proteins and play roles through redox signaling pathwa
