Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges Proceedings of the EAAE ARCC 10th International Conference (EAAE ARCC 2016) 15-18 Jun

The escalating interdependecy of nations drives global geopolitics to shift ever more quickly. Societies seem unable to control any change that affects their cities whether positively or negatively. Challenges are global but solutions need to be implemented locally. How can architectural research contribute to the future of our changing society? How has it contributed in the past? The theme of the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference “Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges” was set to address these questions. This book Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges includes reviewed papers presented in June 2016 at the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference which was held at the facilities of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon. The papers have been further divided into the following five sub-themes: a Changing Society; In Transit – Global Migration; Renaturalization of the City; Emerging Fields of Architectural Practice; and Research on Architectural Education. The EAAE/ARCC International Conference held under the aegis of the EAAE and of the ARCC is a conference organized every other year in collaboration with one of the member schools/ universities of those associations alternatively in North America or in Europe. | Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges Proceedings of the EAAE ARCC 10th International Conference (EAAE ARCC 2016) 15-18 Jun

Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease

Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common liver diseases worldwide affecting patients from all ages races and ethnic backgrounds. It comprises a spectrum of hepatic pathology ranging from simple steatosis in which there is an increase of fat accumulation in hepatocytes to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The significant prevalence of this disease—between 15 and 45 percent of the general population—means that it contributes to an increased burden of ill health both today and in the future. Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease addresses the current understanding of the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as well as the clinical aspects of the disease by examining the current knowledge surrounding metabolism in the liver. The book discusses various topics including the involvement of oxidative stress metabolic effects and inflammation as well as the effect of nutrition on the development and progression of the disease.

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Clandestine labs that manufacture drugs or explosives may be encountered virtually anywhere. They can range from complex operations employing scientific equipment and exotic chemicals or simply kitchen utensils and chemicals purchased at a local grocery or hardware store. Regardless of their form the key to detecting clandestine labs is the ability to recognize the combinations of equipment and chemicals that constitute the lab in the first place. The first line of defense against the manufacturers—who supply the drug trade and terrorists with their tools of destruction—is law enforcement the fire services and other emergency responders. Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition provides the information necessary to recognize operations that produce these deadly brews. As with the prior edition the book has sections covering the chemicals and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of drugs and explosives. They are grouped in a manner that allows the emergency responder to quickly identify common combinations of equipment and chemicals that could potentially be used to manufacture drugs or explosives. Since many clandestine manufacturing operations use commonly available materials that have legitimate uses the author outlines how to quickly assess and recognize key indicators associated with clandestine laboratory operations. Sections within the book address information concerning both the hazards associated with those chemicals involved and the personal protective equipment needed to abate the hazards. In addition documentation requirements field-testing and sampling procedures are detailed for use once the operation has been seized and secured. Reproducible worksheets are provided to be used either as or to supplement the on-scene investigators’ field notes and assist in providing a standardized manner to objectively record information about the crime scene. The ability to identify the tools used to manufacture contraband drugs and explosives is a key element in the battle against drug abuse and terrorism making the Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition an indispensible resource for responders and investigators alike.
