Completely reorganized to be more clinically focused on diagnosis and treatment, Principles and Practice of Gynecologic Oncology, Eighth Edition, provides the up-to-date information practitioners, researchers, and students need in an easily accessible manner. Drs. Dennis S. Chi, Dineo Khabele, Don S. Dizon, and Catheryn Yashar oversee an expert team of international, multidisciplinary authors who offer practical coverage of the entire field, including new management and treatment strategies for gynecologic cancers. Each disease site now has a dedicated section with individual chapters on epidemiology, pathogenesis, prevention, diagnostic imaging, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and more—all designed for quick clinical reference and efficient study.
Coffee, Volume 112 gives the latest updates on one of the premier global traded commodities. With its annual income of approx. USD 200 billion, it supports the livelihoods of nearly 25 million smallholder farmers. In this updated edition, chapters cover The history and genetic diversity of arabica coffee, The importance of wild coffee species in a scenario of climate changes, Coffee plant architecture, Water and heat constraints to coffee ecophysiology and production, The impacts of irradiance on coffee growth and ecophysiology in a context of climate changes, Omic technologies contribution to unveil coffee resilience responses to climate changes, and much more.Additional chapters delve into...
The second edition of Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook is an innovative book of exercises and language tasks for all learners of Brazilian Portuguese. The book is divided into two sections: • Part A provides exercises based on essential grammatical structures • Part B practises everyday functions (e.g. making social contact, asking questions and expressing needs). A comprehensive answer key at the back of the book enables you to check on your progress. The Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook is ideal for all learners who have a basic knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese, including undergraduates taking Brazilian Portuguese as a major or minor part of their studies, as well as intermediate and advanced school, adult education and self-study students. While primarily intended for use in conjunction with Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar: A Practical Guide, it can also serve as an independent resource.
Provides a timely overview of the use of CRISPR and non-coding RNA technologies to develop climate-resilient crops With mounting challenges from climate change, expanding populations, and resource limitations, the need for resilient and sustainable agricultural systems has never been greater. Genome and Epigenome Editing for Stress-Tolerant Crops summarizes advanced techniques for creating crops that can withstand both biotic and abiotic stressors. Edited by renowned biologist Jen-Tsung Chen, this authoritative volume discusses the coordination of CRISPR/Cas technology with ncRNA-based epigenetics to enhance stress tolerance and improve crop quality. In addition to offering insights into gen...
Fungi are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources both above and below the ground. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. They process and evaluate information and then modify their behaviour accordingly. These highly diverse competences show us that this is possible owing to sign(aling)-mediated communication processes within fungal cells (intraorganismic), between the same, related and different fungal species (in...
This book is based to a great extent on the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of tolerance of commonly encountered abiotic stresses in nature. This book will deal with increasing temperature, water, salinity, and heavy metals and ozone, and how these abiotic stresses can be managed by microbes through their alleviation mechanisms. Water stress includes both drought and flooding. 1st section outlines the relevance of abiotic stresses in present day environmental conditions. The 2nd section deals with three major stresses - temperature, water and salinity and the metabolic changes and protective adjustments in plants for withstanding these stresses. The 3rd section deals with the role of heavy metals and ozone. The final section is devoted to general abiotic stresses and their alleviation by microbes. These offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly means of combating different stresses.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.

In this book, the author explains the structure and mechanics of illegal gambling syndicates, what soccer players and referees do (or not do) to affect the outcome of their games, why relatively rich and high-status athletes would fix games, how and why club officials would bribe the opposition and how they get referees "on their side." It presents evidence that some of the highest soccer matches in the world may have been fixed: European Champions League, Olympic and World Cup tournaments. The book, however, is not just about soccer, throughout the text, the author uses examples from other sports like tennis, hockey, even rowing; to show that the credibility of professional sport now lies on a fragile foundation.
