Drugs of Natural Origin A Treatise of Pharmacognosy Seventh Edition

Drugs of Natural Origin A Treatise of Pharmacognosy Seventh Edition

Drugs of Natural Origin is a unique multidisciplinary book suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and teachers in the area of natural product science but also as a complementary book for disciplines like medicinal chemistry biochemistry and pharmacology. The book can also serve society as a scientific source for the understanding of a sustainable use of natural products in the development of new drugs scientifically based herbal remedies and environmentally friendly biomolecules. During evolution molecules have been developed for specific functions in nature. These bioactive substances have a potential as new drug candidates in drug development but also as pharmacological tools intermediates or templates for synthesis of drugs. This book deals with terrestrial and marine bioactive substances of plant microbial or animal origin. The occurrence biosynthesis isolation chemistry and medical use are described together with basic research strategies. An increased understanding of the medical importance of bioactive natural products has developed in society. Since the publication of the sixth edition six years ago considerable progress has been achieved in the study of biosynthetic pathways mainly based on gene technology. The revolution in high-throughput sequencing technology has given an increasing access to microbial genome sequences which opens up new possibilities in the discovery of novel bioactive natural products. This development is reflected in a substantial revision and expansion of the book but also removal of some sections containing products remotely associated with drugs.

Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

A day does not go by without a news article reporting some amazing breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI). Many philosophers futurists and AI researchers have conjectured that human-level AI will be developed in the next 20 to 200 years. If these predictions are correct it raises new and sinister issues related to our future in the age of intelligent machines. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach directly addresses these issues and consolidates research aimed at making sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity. While specific predictions regarding the consequences of superintelligent AI vary from potential economic hardship to the complete extinction of humankind many researchers agree that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed. Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach discusses key topics such as: AI-Completeness theory and how it can be used to see if an artificial intelligent agent has attained human level intelligence Methods for safeguarding the invention of a superintelligent system that could theoretically be worth trillions of dollars Self-improving AI systems: definition types and limits The science of AI safety engineering including machine ethics and robot rights Solutions for ensuring safe and secure confinement of superintelligent systems The future of superintelligence and why long-term prospects for humanity to remain as the dominant species on Earth are not great Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach is designed to become a foundational text for the new science of AI safety engineering. AI researchers and students computer security researchers futurists and philosophers should find this an invaluable resource. | Artificial Superintelligence A Futuristic Approach

The basics of UV light The book begins by examining the nature of UV light and the types of commercial UV lamps that are available. It discusses the light absorption process and the excited states that are produced by the photoinitiator prior to the production of radicals. Next the book examines the structure of the photoinitiator and the mechanism by which a reactive species is formed along with the deactivating processes that inhibit the various photophysical and photochemical steps that occur as radicals are produced. Commercial photoinitiators Providing a list of companies and suppliers the author explores the distinct groups of commercial photoinitiators and the variations in their structure. He describes the factors that determine which photoinitiators should be chosen for a particular application and how the different types are used.
