Database of Biologically Active Phytochemicals & Their Activity
by James A. DukeDatabase of Biologically Active Phytochemicals and Their Activities presents an alphabetical tabulation of some 3,000 biologically active phytochemicals (elements and compounds) from higher plants. The data includes at least one and in some cases as many as 25 biological activities for each phytochemical. The database also provides data on effective dose, inhibitory concentrations, and lethal and/or toxic doses. Entries after 1990 indicate the source of the data. Database of Biologically Active Phytochemicals and Their Activities makes it possible to locate the concentration of many compounds in plants and compare this data with dosage information to calculate how much of a given plant food it would take to cause lethality, antioxidant activity, hypoglycemic activity, or artemicidal activity. Using WordPerfect (TM) 5.1's search function, you can find compounds by entering a key word in their name (e.g., choline or salicyl-), locate all compounds with a given activity (e.g., hypotensive), or list all compounds for which ED50 data is entered or reported.
Database of Dreams
by Rebecca LemovJust a few years before the dawn of the digital age, Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten.
Databases for Pharmacoepidemiological Research (Springer Series on Epidemiology and Public Health)
by Miriam Sturkenboom Tania SchinkThis book allows readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiology, and highlights the strengths and limitations of the respective databases with regard to pharmacoepidemiological research. Over the past decade, the increasing use of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiological research has been accompanied by a growing recognition of the value of real-world evidence in clinical and regulatory decision-making. Electronic healthcare databases allow analyses of drug and vaccine utilization in routine care after approval, as well as investigations of their comparative effectiveness and safety. They are especially useful for the identification of rare risks and rare drug exposures over long periods of time, and as such sustainably extend the basis for drug safety research. This book provides an introduction to the role of real-world data in pharmacoepidemiological research and the main developments in the last 15 years. It also offers a comprehensive overview of the general classification characteristics of databases, together with their strengths and limitations, and a detailed description of 21 individual databases, written by professionals who work with or maintain them.
Dataclismo: Amor, sexo, raza e identidad; lo que nuestra vida online cuenta de nosotros
by Christian Rudder¿Has pensado alguna vez las consecuencias de colgar tu intimidad en las redes sociales? Dataclismo es una investigación audaz e irreverente sobre el comportamiento humano; un nuevo enfoque a una revolución en marcha. Durante décadas las únicas herramientas para estudiar el comportamiento humano partían de encuestas o pequeños experimentos. Hoy es posible un nuevo enfoque. Debido a Internet cada vez mostramos más aspectos de nuestra vida y los investigadores pueden observar nuestro comportamiento directamente, extrapolando a grandes cifras y sin filtros. Los analistas son a día de hoy los nuevos sociólogos. En Dataclismo Christian Rudder nos explica de forma original cómo a través de los likes de Facebook se puede predecir con precisión de cirujano la orientación sexual de una persona e incluso su inteligencia, cómo las mujeres atractivas reciben más solicitudes de entrevistas; y por qué hay que tener haters para estar de moda. Muestra cómo se expresa la gente en público y en privado y otras muchas cosas más. Dataclismo es una nueva forma de vernos a nosotros mismos, un libro de alquimia en el que las matemáticas se humanizan y los números se convierten en los trovadores de nuestro tiempo. Bestseller en The New York Times La crítica ha dicho...«Rudder nos demuestra que la información que proporcionamos a título individual dice mucho sobre quiénes somos como colectivo.

Waly Dr Muhammad Waseem Dr Glenn C. WrightDate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a tree belonging to the palm family (Arecaceae) and is cultivated for its sweet edible fruits. Over the past century, it has become a major commercial fruit crop and a key component of agricultural production in the world's subtropical arid and semiarid regions. A crop suited both to the low-input small-farmer and the modern high-input commercial plantation, the date palm provides a livelihood for millions of people living in marginal land areas where farming options are restricted. Date palm is mainly grown for its fruits, but the whole tree is utilized. Research into date palm improvement for fruit production in recent decades has brought about improved elite cultivars, stress and pathogen resistance, and enhanced postharvest technologies. These developments have led to revised recommendations for date palm producers, and increased opportunity to promote novel fruit products. This book provides: · A practical manual on modern date palm cultivation methods. · Best practice guidelines for optimal production levels of high-quality fruit. · Opportunities for more complete utilization of date palm products at both the subsistence and commercial levels of production. With contributions from leading international experts, this is a valuable resource for researchers and students in horticulture, as well as date palm growers and processors.

David Bohm: A Life Dedicated to Understanding the Quantum World (Springer Biographies)
by Olival Freire JuniorThis authoritative biography addresses the life and work of the quantum physicist David Bohm. Although quantum physics is considered the soundest physical theory, its strange and paradoxical features have challenged - and continue to challenge - even the brightest thinkers. David Bohm dedicated his entire life to enhancing our understanding of quantum mysteries, in particular quantum nonlocality. His work took place at the height of the cultural/political upheaval in the 1950's, which led him to become the most notable American scientist to seek exile in the last century. The story of his life is as fascinating as his ideas on the quantum world are appealing.
David Bohm: Causality and Chance, Letters to Three Women
by Chris TalbotThe letters transcribed in this book were written by physicist David Bohm to three close female acquaintances in the period 1950 to 1956. They provide a background to his causal interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Marxist philosophy that inspired his scientific work in quantum theory, probability and statistical mechanics. In his letters, Bohm reveals the ideas that led to his ground breaking book Causality and Chance in Modern Physics. The political arguments as well as the acute personal problems contained in these letters help to give a rounded, human picture of this leading scientist and twentieth century thinker.
David Bohm's Critique of Modern Physics: Letters to Jeffrey Bub, 1966-1969
by Chris TalbotIn the letters contained in this book, David Bohm argues that the dominant formal, mathematical approach in physics is seriously flawed. In the 1950s and 60s, Bohm took a direction unheard of for a professor of theoretical physics: while still researching in physics, working among others with Yakir Aharanov and later Jeffrey Bub, he also spent time studying “metaphysics”—such as Hegel’s dialectics and Indian panpsychism. 50 years on, questions raised about the direction and philosophical assumptions of theoretical physics show that Bohm’s arguments still have contemporary relevance.
