Advances in Hydrogen Sulfide Biology
English | 2021 | ISBN: 981160990X | 245 Pages | PDF EPUB | 28 MB
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important gas signalling molecule in a series of organs/tissues, on the diseases of which it plays protective roles, such as proangiogenic effects in ischemic tissues, antiapoptotic effects in the cardiomyocytes, regularization of fatal arrhythmia in myocardial infarction, amelioration of inflammation in autoimmune diseases, modification of neuronal transmission, increase in sodium excretion from the kidney, and amelioration of insulin resistance, etc. This book focuses on the effect of hydrogen sulfide in cardiovascular system, immune system, nervous system, kidney, as well as on the metabolism of glucose and lipids and regulation of ion channels and so on. This book also provides the advances in the understanding of endogenous H2S metabolism and H2S protein targets, as well as H2S donors. It will benefit researchers in both academics and industry working on the underlying mechanism of H2S field and the future of translational medicine of H2S.

A Twist of Lyme: Battling a Disease That Doesn't Exist By Andrea H. Caesar
2013 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 1480802646 | EPUB | 1 MB
When she moved to Barrington, Rhode Island, Andrea Caesar was an active, happy, vivacious ten-year-old who loved to play kickball and hang from the monkey bars. A year later, Andrea had trouble catching her breath while running, was plagued by migraines, and battled constant muscle aches. Andrea had changed as a person; she was the kid who was always missing school. Although she did not know it at the time, she had contracted Borrelia burgdorferi, better known as Lyme disease.Caesar, who was finally diagnosed at age thirty-six, shares a raw and honest look inside the mind of a woman tormented by treatment in her pursuit of wellness. She chronicles her life from age eleven through her diagnosis and subsequent treatment, recalling her emotions as she struggled with Lyme, its symptoms, and multiple related infections-all while attempting to live a normal life. Driven by her determination to help others with the same affliction, Caesar provides details on what worked, what did not work, and why.A Twist of Lyme shares the captivating, heart-wrenching story of a woman's decades-long battle with Lyme disease as she is led by perseverance, courage, and hope to an eventual diagnosis and treatment.

A Time for the Humanities: Futurity and the Limits of Autonomy By James J. Bono; Tim Dean; Ewa Plonowska Ziarek (eds.)
2008 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 082322919X | PDF | 5 MB
This book brings together an international roster of renowned scholars from disciplines including philosophy, political theory, intellectual history, and literary studies to address the conceptual foundations of the humanities and the question of their future. What notions of the future, of the human, and of finitude underlie recurring anxieties about the humanities in our current geopolitical situation? How can we think about the unpredictable and unthought dimensions of praxis implicit in the very notion of futurity?The essays here argue that the uncertainty of the future represents both an opportunity for critical engagement and a matrix for invention. Broadly conceived, the notion of invention, or cultural poiesis, questions the key assumptions and tasks of a whole range of practices in the humanities, beginning with critique, artistic practices, and intellectual inquiry, and ending with technology, emancipatory politics, and ethics. The essays discuss a wide range of key figures (e.g., Deleuze, Freud, Lacan, Foucault, Kristeva, Irigaray), problems (e.g., becoming, kinship and the foreign, "disposable populations" within a global political economy, queerness and the death drive, the parapoetic, electronic textuality, invention and accountability, political and social reform in Latin America), disciplines and methodologies (philosophy, art and art history, visuality, political theory, criticism and critique, psychoanalysis, gender analysis, architecture, literature, art).The volume should be required reading for all who feel a deep commitment to the humanities, its practices, and its future.

I want to go over some of the reasons why, in my opinion, the ESP 32 is an incredible microcontroller and why you should use it in your IoT projects. For starters, the ESP 32 is very powerful. It contains a dual-core CPU that can be clocked at 8,160 or 240 megahertz. That's quite a lot of computing power in a reasonably small. It also has a ULP or ultra-low power coprocessor. And this is a much slower process, or they can be used to perform smaller tasks while the big dual-core CPU is in a night of sleep. Now, besides killer processors, the ESB 32 also has a ton of memory. It includes 512 kilobytes of on-chip SRM memory used for data and programs instructions. Besides this there's also support for external memory and depending on your board, that might be as much as four to eight megabytes. This means that the ESP 32 is also suitable for some heavier tasks, like connecting with cameras, recognizing speech streaming data from the internet. And. But the biggest reason why I think this chip is so good is that it has built-in wifi and Bluetooth. So no need for additional radio modules like you would see on most Arduino boards, the ESP 32 is just one chip with everything in one package. The rest of the IO is pretty impressive as well.
