Sommario/riassunto

Every organization should have some method of capturing, storing, transforming, retrieving, and using knowledge and lessons learned. This book has been written to help managers throughout the organization to design and develop knowledge management systems that are effective and lasting. Successful knowledge management systems are integrated into the corporate culture and the existing information systems apparatus. They are introduced gradually, so as not to clutter the testing phase with too many details. And simple and appropriate metrics are utilized at each stage of the design and operating

Sommario/riassunto

The “Pathophysiology of Cancer: An Interdisciplinary Approach” is the twenty-two volume of the “Interdisciplinary Cancer Research” series and a comprehensive volume on the pathophysiology of cancer. The volume starts with a few chapters on the risk of cancer development and carcinogenesis, including mitochondrial energy metabolism in carcinogenesis and the role of mitochondrial DNA mutations in cancer development. The obesity epidemic and cancer risk, urban road dust, genotoxicity, aberrant glycosylation, melatonin, and matrix metalloproteinases as players in cancer development and progression are explained in other chapters. The subsequent chapters discuss vascular endothelium, extracellular vesicles and extracellular matrix, circulating tumor cells, cancer-associated programmed-cell death, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer. Importance of antioxidants, decoding metabolic changes and effects of secondary metabolites in cancer therapy are the subjects of the concluding chapters. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for those who wish to have an update on the pathophysiology of cancer.

Sommario/riassunto

This introductory level text explores various theoretical approaches to human-environment geography, demonstrating how local dynamics and global processes influence how we interact with our environments. Introduces students to fundamental concepts in environmental geography and science Explores the core theoretical traditions within the field, along with major thematic issues such as population, food and agriculture, and water resources Offers an engaging and unique view of the spatial relationships between humans and their environment across geographical locations around the world Includes a variety of real-world policy questions and emphasizes geography's strong tradition of field work by featuring prominent nature-society geographers in guest field notes.
