    Description / Table of Contents: The Scientific Discovery of Merapi: From Ancient Javanese Sources to the 21st Century -- Physical Environment and Human Context at Merapi Volcano: A Complex Balance Between Accessing Livelihoods and Coping With Volcanic Hazards -- Merapi and Its Dynamic 'Disaster Culture' -- The Geodynamic Setting and Geological Context of Merapi Volcano in Central Java, Indonesia -- Crustal Structure and Ascent of Fluids and Melts Beneath Merapi: Insights From Geophysical Investigations -- Geological History, Chronology and Magmatic Evolution of Merapi -- The Godean Debris Avalanche Deposit From a Sector Collapse of Merapi Volcano.
    Abstract: This book provides the first comprehensive compilation of cutting-edge research on Merapi volcano on the island of Java, Indonesia, one of the most iconic volcanoes in the world. It integrates results from both the natural (geology, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, physical volcanology) and social sciences, and provides state-of-the-art information on volcano monitoring, the assessment of volcanic hazards, and risk mitigation measures. As one of Indonesia’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, Merapi is perhaps best known for its pyroclastic density currents, which are produced by gravitational or explosive lava dome failures (commonly referred to as Merapi-type nuées ardentes). Merapi’s eruptions have posed a persistent threat to life, property and infrastructure within the densely populated areas on the volcano’s flanks, as demonstrated most recently by catastrophic eruptions, which attracted worldwide media interest.

    Integrated Fault Seal Analysis (2020)
    London : Geological Society
    Details
    Call number: https://doi.org/10.1144/SP496
    Description / Table of Contents: Faults commonly trap fluids such as hydrocarbons and water and therefore are of economic significance. During hydrocarbon field development, smaller faults can provide baffles and/or conduits to flow. There are relatively simple, well established workflows to carry out a fault seal analysis for siliciclastic rocks based primarily on clay content. There are, however, outstanding challenges related to other rock types, to calibrating fault seal models (with static and dynamic data) and to handling uncertainty. The variety of studies presented here demonstrate the types of data required and workflows followed in today's environment in order to understand the uncertainties, risks and upsides associated with fault-related fluid flow. These studies span all parts of the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration to production but are also of relevance for other industries such as radioactive waste and CO2 containment.

    Neurosecretion: Secretory Mechanisms (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Neurosciences. ; Anatomy. ; Internal medicine. ; Cytology. ; Biochemistry. ; Neuroscience. ; Anatomy. ; Internal Medicine. ; Cell Biology. ; Biochemistry.
    Description / Table of Contents: Neurosecretion: A Historical Overview -- Neurosecretion: Hypothalamic Somata versus Neurohypophysial Terminals -- Cyclic ADP-Ribose and Heat Regulate Oxytocin Release via CD38 and TRPM2 in the Hypothalamus -- Somato-Dendritic Secretion of Neuropeptides -- Neurosecretory Vesicles: Structure, Distribution, Release and Breakdown -- Molecular Controls on Regulated Neurotransmitter and Neurohormone Secretion -- Secretory Astrocytes -- Action Potential-Induced Ca2+ Influx for Both Acute and Sustained Insulin Secretion in Pancreatic Beta Cells -- Plasticity in the Morphology of Lactotrophs and Folliculo-Stellate Cells and Prolactin Secretion -- Neuroendocrine and Metabolic Regulation of Plasma Growth Hormone Secretory Profiles -- Role of the TWIK-Related Potassium (TREK)-1 Channels in the Regulation of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Secretion from Pituitary Corticotropes -- How Do Bacterial Neurotoxins Affect Neurosecretion? -- Secretory Mechanisms in Paramecium.
    Abstract: How do electrical activity and calcium signals in neurons influence the secretion of peptide hormones? This volume presents the current state of knowledge regarding the electrical, calcium signaling and synaptic properties of neuroendocrine systems from both vertebrate and invertebrate systems. The contributions span in vivo and in vitro studies that address: state‐dependent plasticity, relevance of firing patterns, membrane properties, calcium flux (including dynamic imaging and homeostasis), and molecular mechanisms of exocytosis, including from non-neuronal secretory cells. The chapters focus not only on research results but also on how experiments are conducted using state-of-the-art techniques, and how the resulting data are interpreted. While there are many books on the secretory properties of neurons, this is the first to focus on the distinctive secretory properties of neuroendocrine neurons. Accordingly, it offers an important text for undergraduate and graduate neuroscience students, and will also appeal to established scientists and postdoctoral fellows. This is the eighth volume in the Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology series* - now a co-publication between Springer Nature and the INF (International Neuroendocrine Federation). *Volumes 1-7 published by Wiley.

    Abstract: Hundreds of eponyms are used within the field of immunology—Petri dish, Crohn’s disease, Bence Jones protein, Kupffer cells, Freund's adjuvant, Ouchterlony immunodiffusion, to name just a few—but most of us don't know much about the individuals who gave their names to these terms. Where were they born and educated, what other accomplishments are they credited with, why has history chosen to remember them, or not? This book presents the first comprehensive collection of immunologic eponyms, and through them tells the story of this fascinating field, from its earliest beginnings to present day. Organized by surname and meticulously cross-referenced and indexed, this book offers historical anecdotes and little-known facts which scientists, clinicians, students, and general readers will find captivating and memorable. A one-of-a-kind introduction to immunology that serves as both a history lesson and current reference on the diseases, treatments, and individuals who have been crucial to this field.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Context -- Chapter 2: A Talking Book -- Chapter 3: Setting the Stage -- Chapter 4: Neo-Darwinism, Expansion and Consolidation (1900-1980) -- Chapter 5: Criticism, Resistance, a Glimmer of Hope -- Chapter 6: Buying Time -- Chapter 7: Making Space -- Chapter 8: Conflict Resolution -- Chapter 9: Evolutionary Transitions -- Chapter 10: The Stockholm Paradigm -- Chapter 11: Putting Evolution to Work.
    Abstract: This book presents a unified evolutionary framework based on three sets of metaphors that will help to consolidate discussions on evolutionary transitions. Evolution is the unifying principle of life, making identifying ways to apply evolutionary principles to tackle existence-threatening crises such as climate change crucial. A more cohesive evolutionary framework will further the discussions in this regard and also accelerate the process itself. This book lays out a framework based on three dualistic classes of metaphors – time, space, and conflict resolution. Evolutionary transitions theory shows how metaphors can help us understand selective diversification, as Darwin described with his “tree of life”. Moreover, the recently proposed Stockholm paradigm demonstrates how metaphors can help shed light on the emergence of complex ecosystems that Darwin highlighted with his “tangled bank” metaphor. Taken together, these ideas offer proactive measures for coping with existential crises for humanity, such as climate change. The book will appeal to biologists, philosophers and historians alike.

    Details
    Keywords: Plant genetics. ; Plant biotechnology. ; Forestry. ; Plant Genetics. ; Plant Biotechnology. ; Forestry.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- The White spruce genome -- Targeted and whole genome re-sequencing for population and evolutionary genomic inferences in Norway spruce -- Transposable elements in Spruce -- An intact, but dormant LTR retrotransposon defines a moderately-sized family in white spruce (Picea glauca) -- The DNA methylome of Norway spruce -- Epigenomics in Norway spruce -- Comparative Genomics of Spruce -- Comparative genomics with the comparisons of BACs between loblolly pine and white spruce -- Wood formation and genomic selection in white spruce, data imputation strategies -- Ecotypes in Norway spruce (“Genomics of adaptation to drought across the Central European range of Norway spruce“) -- Local adaptation in the interior spruce hybrid complex -- Genomics of secondary metabolism - Terpenoids in spruce (Evolutionary dynamics of TPS gene family in Chinese spruce) -- Lignin biosynthesis in Norway spruce as an anti-fungal defense -- Future prospects.
    Abstract: This book offers comprehensive information on the genomics of spruces (Picea spp.), naturally abundant conifer tree species that are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Due to their tremendous ecological and economic importance, the management of forest genetic resources has chiefly focused on conservation and tree improvement. A draft genome sequence of the 20-gigabase Norway spruce genome was published in the journal Nature in 2013. Continuous efforts to improve the spruce genome assembly are underway, but are hindered by the inherent characteristics of conifer genomes: high amounts of repetitive sequences (introns and transposable elements) in the genome and large gene family expansions with regards to abiotic stress, secondary metabolism and spruces' defense responses to pathogens and herbivory. This book presents the latest information on the status of genome assemblies, provides detailed insights into transposable elements and methylation patterns, and highlights the extensive genomic resources available for inferring population genomics and climate adaptation, as well as emerging genomics tools for tree improvement programs. In addition, this volume features whole-genome comparisons among conifer species, and demonstrates how functional genomics can be used to improve gene function annotations. The book closes with an outlook on emerging fields of research in spruce genomics.

    Vaccination Strategies Against Highly Variable Pathogens (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Pharmacology. ; Diseases. ; Virology. ; Immunology. ; Human physiology. ; Pharmacology. ; Diseases. ; Virology. ; Immunology. ; Human Physiology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Successful Vaccines -- Immunogenicity and Immunodominance in Antibody Responses -- Immunogen Design -- Adjuvants -- Tools to screen vaccines -- Targeting glycans on human pathogens for vaccine design -- BnAbs and highly antigenically variable pathogens.
    Abstract: Vaccines against antigenically stable pathogens, or pathogens that only exist in a limited number of serotypes, have been very successful in the past and have drastically decreased the incidence and lethality of many diseases. However, when it comes to highly variable pathogens or viruses that exist in multiple serotypes, the traditional methods for vaccine development have reached their limits. This volume highlights the development of vaccines against such challenging pathogens. Novel approaches for immunogen design, including structure-guided vaccine development and vaccines targeting glycans, as well as adjuvants and animal models used for testing possible vaccine candidates are outlined and discussed in detail. Given its scope, the book will appeal to scientists in the fields of infectious diseases, microbiology and medicine. .
