These conference proceedings explore the design of pedagogical intervention and learning cultures, the inclusion of socio-emotional support in teaching and policy, transforming technology to support the social fabric of our institutions, and challenging established beliefs about learning. They clarify the complex challenges involved in employing social learning in education and higher education institutions to foster greater understanding and insights, while also avoiding the pitfalls that come with rolling out the concept of “redesigning learning”. The Taylor’s Teaching and Learning Conference has been held at Taylor’s University, Malaysia, since 2006.
Immunopharmacology represents the boundary between the immune system and chemical mediators of the inflammatory and neuroendocrine responses. The subject as applied to the respiratory system embraces most of the common non-malignant lung diseases of which asthma and allied disorders are the most prevalent. An understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the disorders provides rationale for prevention and drug treatment as well as creating opportunities for novel drug development. Immunopharmacology of Respiratory System embraces all of these principles and should enable the reader to become rapidly updated in an area of medical importance. - Focuses on aspects of disease pathogenesis that are common to a variety of lung disorders - Includes coverage of the mechanisms of asthma - origin, progression, and novel therapeutic interventions - This volume is another in the "Systems" section of the Handbook of Immunopharmacology
Allergy and Allergic Diseases has been organized to provide an up-to-date, clinically relevant compilation of one of the most exciting areas of investigation in medicine today-allergic disease, especially as it pertains to the skin, airways, and bowel. With the dramatic rise in the incidence of various allergic disorders worldwide, and the coming of age of the discipline of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, the interface between basic and clinical science in this arena demands highlighting in this comprehensive new syn thesis.1t is with the hope of filling this evident need that Allergy and Allergic Diseases: The New Mechanisms and Therapeutics has been put together. The book's content is div...
This book, in essence the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute with the same title, is designed to provide in-depth coverage of many, but not all, of the major current applications of superconductivity, and of many that still are being developed. It will be of value to scientists and engineers who have interests in the research and production aspects of the technology, as well as in the applications themselves. The ftrst three chapters (by Clarke, Vrba and Wikswo) are devoted to an understanding of the principles, fabrication and uses of SQUID magnetometers and gradiometers, with the greatest emphasis on biomagnetism and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). For the most part, tradition...
