This fourth volume in the Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics series provides an unprecedented comprehensive overview of the pharmacological activity of more than 100 medicinal plants used for the treatment of microbial infections in Asia and the Pacific. The text discusses the actions of such plants against viruses and bacteria representing a threat of epidemic and pandemic diseases including COVID-19 with an emphasis on the molecular basis and cellular pathways. Scientific names botanical classifications and descriptions medicinal uses and chemical constituents are presented along with chemical structures and a vast selection of bibliographical references. FEATURES Introduces the molecular mechanism of natural products from medicinal plants in Asia on bacteria and viruses Includes phylogenetic presentations of a selection of medicinal plants and a chemotaxonomical rationale of antiviral and antibacterial actions Discusses the chemical structure–activity relationship pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of antimicrobial principles This book is a useful research tool for postgraduates academics and the pharmaceutical herbal and nutrition industries looking forward to developing antiviral and antibacterial agents from medicinal plants in Asia. Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics is a critical reference for anyone involved in the discovery of leads for the treatment of pandemic viral bacterial and infections. This book will be an important resource for scientists as well as people passionate about helping to save these critical resources. Perhaps a new drug lead will be identified from at least one of these plants. —From the Foreword by Dr. Mark S. Butler MSBChem Consulting Brisbane Australia | Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific for Zoonotic Pandemics Volume 4 Family Alangiaceae to Araliaceae

A First Course in Quality Engineering Integrating Statistical and Management Methods of Quality Third Edition

A First Course in Quality Engineering Integrating Statistical and Management Methods of Quality Third Edition

This book is the leader among the new generation of text books on quality that follow the systems approach to creating quality in products and services; the earlier generations focused solely on parts of the system such as statistical methods process control and management philosophy. It follows the premise that the body of knowledge and tools documented by quality professionals and researchers when employed in designing creating and delivering the product will lead to product quality customer satisfaction and reduced waste. The tools employed at the different stages of the product creation cycle are covered in this book using real world examples along with their theoretical bases strengths and weaknesses. This textbook can be used for training - from shop floor personnel to college majors in business and engineering to practicing professionals. Graduate students training as researchers in the quality field will also find useful material. The book has been used as the text for a Professional Series Massive Open Online Course offered by the Technical University of Munich on edX. org through which tens of thousands of participants from all over the world have received training in quality methods. According to Professor Dr. Holly Ott who chose the book for the course the text is one of the main factors contributing to success of this MOOC. The Third Edition has been fully revised to be friendly for self-study reflects changes in the standards referenced such as ISO 9000 and includes new examples of application of statistical tools in health care industry. Features: Reviews the history of quality movement in the U. S. and abroad Discusses Quality Cost analysis and quality’s impact on a company’s bottom line Explains finding customer needs and designing the product using House of Quality Covers selection of product parameters using DOE and reliability principles Includes control charts to control processes to make the product right-the-first-time Describes use of capability indices Cp and Cpk to meet customer needs Presents problem solving methodology and tools for continuous improvement Offers ISO 9000 Baldrige and Six Sigma as templates for creating a quality system | A First Course in Quality Engineering Integrating Statistical and Management Methods of Quality Third Edition

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology

This book addresses the timely subject of systems applications in astrobiology. It demonstrates how astrobiology – a multidisciplinary interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of science – can benefit from adopting the systems approach. Astrobiology draws upon its founding sciences such as astronomy physics chemistry biochemistry geology and planetary sciences. However astrobiologists can encounter difficulties working across these fields. The systems approach we believe is the best contemporary approach to consider astrobiology holistically. The approach is currently used in other fields such as engineering which uses systems analysis routinely. Such an approach needs to be learned both in principle and through examples from the field. This book features chapters from experts across the field of astrobiology who have applied the systems approach. It will be a valuable guide for astrobiology students at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels in addition to researchers in the field both in academia and the space industry. Key Features: Offers a unique and novel approach to studying and understanding astrobiology Encourages astrobiologists to apply a holistic systems approach to their work rather than being bogged down in details Imparts practical knowledge to readers which can be adopted in different research and job opportunities in the field of astrobiology Vera M. Kolb obtained degrees in chemical engineering and organic chemistry from Belgrade University Serbia and earned her PhD in organic chemistry from Southern Illinois University Carbondale Illinois United States. Following a 30-year career she is Professor Emerita of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Kenosha Wisconsin. During her first sabbatical leave with the NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training (NSCORT) in Astrobiology she conducted research with Dr. Leslie Orgel at the Salk Institute and Prof. Stanley Miller at UC San Diego. Her second sabbatical was with Prof. Joseph Lambert at Northwestern University where she studied sugar silicates and their potential astrobiological relevance. She is credited for authoring over 160 publications in the fields of organic and medicinal chemistry green chemistry and astrobiology including several books. Recently she authored Green Organic Chemistry and Its Interdisciplinary Applications (CRC 2016). In the astrobiology field she edited Astrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach (CRC 2015) and Handbook of Astrobiology (CRC 2019). She co-authored (with Benton C. Clark) Astrobiology for a General Reader: A Questions and Answers Approach (CSP 2020) and Systems Approach to Astrobiology (CRC 2023). | Guidebook for Systems Applications in Astrobiology
