This is the latest and most authoritative documentation of current scientific knowledge regarding the health effects of thermal food processing. Authors from all over Europe and the USA pre an international perspective, weighing up the risks and benefits. In addition, the contributors outline those areas where further research is necessary.

Cellular polarization is key to all cellular functions. Our perceptions, which are derived from our senses, depend on the proper cellular polarization of our sense organs, such as the eyes or ears. Much of this book examines the different aspects in cellular polarization and its researched role in the Drosophila, where the first planar cellular polarity (PCP) gene was discovered over 20 years ago. Topics also include: From flies to man: how we are polarized, Marking an embryo work, Cellular polarization at its functional best, Hearing and seeing your environment, and From a cell to an organ.

Shrimp farming has achieved massive growth over recent decades. The industry has been hailed as part of a ‘Blue Revolution’, supposedly capable of producing large volumes of food without impacting marine stocks and increasing availability of food for the hungry.
Governments and the international donor community have promoted shrimp farming as a means of speeding development and alleviating poverty in developing countries. However, the expansion of export-oriented shrimp culture has met with strong opposition from some sectors of society, and serious political, socio-economic and environmental concerns have been raised.
Shrimp farming has increased land values and led to conflict over land rights and access to natural resources. Resulting social problems include increased poverty, landlessness and food insecurity, displacement of communities, pollution of drinking water, poor working conditions, and impacts on health and education

Product Description:

As an extension of research, artificial neural networks (ANN) aim to simulate intelligent behavior by mimicking the way that biological neural networks function. In Artificial Neural Networks, an international panel of experts report the history of the of ANN to chemical and biological problems, provide a guide to network architectures, training and the extraction of rules from trained, and cover many cutting-edge examples of the application of ANN to chemistry and biology. In the tradition of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, this volume exhibits clear, easy-to-use information with many step-by-step laboratory protocols

Product Description:
The human pancreas has vital roles in the regulation of  homeostasis and digestion and its dysfunction leads to pancreatic disease as  and pancreatitis. Recent researches have highlighted the novel roles of a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the pancreas and its clinical relevances; its inapprporiate activation leads to pancreatic endocrine and exocrine disease, notably type 2 diabetes. As such, manipulation of the overactive RAS may improve pancreatic islet cell function, cell mass and insulin sensitivity, as well as enhancing the growth and differentiation of pancreatic stem cells. Blockade of the RAS may be protective against pancreatitis and pancreatic . The research outcome of current progress on the RAS in the pancreas should provide an alternative approach to preventing and treating, as well as curing pancreatic disease. This book discusses the progress of research on the renin-angiotensin system in the pancreas from the science to the bedside, providing a timely review of this expanding area. It consists of ten interrelated chapters covering subjects as: – Structure, physiology and  of the pancreas – Biochemistry and physiology of the pancreatic renin-angiotensin system – RAS in diabetes, stem cells and pancreatitis This book is of special value to basic and clinical scientists, clinicians, graduate students, as well as novices in this field.
