Stem Cell Oncology Proceedings of the International Stem Cell and Oncology Conference (ISCOC 2017) December 1-2 2017 Medan Indonesia

Stem cell research is one of the fascinating areas of contemporary biology but as with many expanding fields of scientific inquiry research on stem cells raises scientific questions as rapidly as it generates discoveries. Research on stem cell treatment continues to advance knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. The most important potential application of human stem cells is the generation of cells and tissues that could be used for cell-based therapies especially oncology. The Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sumatera Utara collaborated with the center of excellence and innovation (Pusat Unggulan Inovasi /PUI). The Stem Cell center of the Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) organized an International Conference. The International Stem Cell and Oncology Conference (ISCOC) 2017 was a comprehensive academic conference in the field of stem cell and oncology research and also tropical medicine and related scientific topics. We expect Stem Cell Oncology will benefit academics and practitioners in the field of health sciences in Indonesia. This is an Open Access ebook and can be found on www. taylorfrancis. com. | Stem Cell Oncology Proceedings of the International Stem Cell and Oncology Conference (ISCOC 2017) December 1-2 2017 Medan Indonesia

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Minorities in Shark Sciences showcases the work done by Black Indigenous and People of Color around the world in the fields of shark science and conservation. Edited by three minority researchers it provides positive role models for the next generation. Highlighting new and important research done in the fields of biology ecology and evolution the book places emphasis on scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise from around the world. The heart of this book is that community and minority voices are important (and have always been) to science regardless of diplomas/universities/accolades/western standards of academia. Despite the use of the term ‘Minorities’ most of the world’s population do not identify as white nor male and in fact all minorities together comprise the global majority of humans. For those in these historically underserved and underrepresented demographics it is meaningful to be highlighted and be given credit for their contributions. This book showcases to the world the many Black Indigenous People of Color and LGTBQ+ scientists leading marine conservation both in terms of scientific research and science communication. It has been shown in the literature that diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought which leads to innovation. Strong minority voices are exactly what is needed to bring greater attention to the conservation of sharks and this book illustrates innovative science by people who were historically excluded from STEM. It highlights the unique perspectives these scientists bring to their field that allow them to interact with stakeholders particularly in the areas of conservation and outreach. As we continue to amplify these often-forgotten voices through research outreach and engagement we hope to stimulate innovation and transformative change in the field of shark conservation and marine science. | Minorities in Shark Sciences Diverse Voices in Shark Research

Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials

The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

This book examines the role of the private sector in emergency management and how that role is changing through private sector intersections with government government agencies and the public sectors in all phases of emergency management. It particularly focuses on the areas in which government regulations and guidelines promote or encourage private sector involvement and looks at best practices for public–private partnerships as well as some of the common pitfalls of the contracting model. The private sector now plays a tremendous role in the creation of policies related to emergency management and their implementation at the federal state and local levels. The Private Sector’s Role in Disasters: Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management explores some of the challenges of implementing policies in the current contracting model. It also compares emergency management to other government services that have been privatized. Case studies of recent disasters and examples of the privatization of some emergency management functions are presented to illustrate how to better plan for private sector involvement in future disasters. Given the sometimes dysfunctional relationships that have emerged from public–private partnerships in disaster situations it is important to analyze and improve principles and practices to work toward more effective partnership. This book provides thoughtful guidelines recommendations and best-practice approaches to public–private development implementation and collaboration throughout the disaster cycle. It gives focused directions for cultivating public–private working relationships to make emergency responses quicker and assistance more effective. | The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

The design of structures in general and prestressed concrete structures in particular requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and in doing so provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel with numerous worked examples. However where the design requirements are code specific this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and where possible the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600-2009. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want comprehensive introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition but the content has been extensively re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing; and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert active and long-time involvement in the development of standards for concrete buildings and concrete bridges. | Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

Deep Excavations in Soil

Deep Excavations in Soil

The book describes the theory and current practices for design of earth lateral support for deep excavations in soil. It addresses basic principles of soil mechanics and explains how these principles are embodied in design methods including hand calculations. It then introduces the use of numerical methods including the fundamental “beam on springs” models and then more sophisticated computer programmes which can model soil as a continuum in two or three dimensions. Constitutive relationships are introduced that are in use for representing the behaviour of soil including a strain hardening model and a Cam Clay model including groundwater flow and coupled consolidation. These methods are illustrated by reference to practical applications and case histories from the author’s direct experience and some of the pitfalls that can occur are discussed. Theory and design are strongly tied to construction practice with emphasis on monitoring the retaining structures and movement of surrounding ground and structures in the context of safety and the Observational Method. Examples are presented for conventional “Bottom-up” and “Top-down” sequences along with hybrid sequences giving tips on how to optimise the design and effect economies of cost and time for construction. It is written for practising geotechnical civil and structural engineers and especially for senior and MSc students.
