Handbook of Research Methodologies and Design in Neuroentrepreneurship (Research Handbooks in Business and Management series)

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1785365037]

This Handbook provides an overview of neuroscience-driven research methodologies and how those methodologies might be applied to theory-based research in the nascent field of neuroentrepreneurship. A key challenge of this field is that few neuroscientists are trained as entrepreneurship scholars and few entrepreneurship scholars are trained as neuroscientists, but this book skillfully bridges that gap.

Expert contributors include concrete examples of new ways to conduct research in their contributions, which have the potential to shed light onto areas such as decision making and opportunity recognition and allow neuroentrepreneurs to ask different, perhaps better, questions than ever before. This Handbook also presents current thinking and examples of pioneering work, serves as a reference for those wishing to incorporate these methods into their own research, and provides several helpful discussions on the nature of answerable questions using neuroscience techniques.

Neuroentrepreneurship is an important, emerging field for neuroscientists and entrepreneurship scholars alike. For the former audience, this book presents concrete research questions and entrepreneurship applications; for the latter, it serves as a primer and introduction to neuroscientific methods. Graduate students studying entrepreneurship, and practitioners who are keen to promote innovation and entrepreneurial skills in their leadership, will also find this Handbook to be of interest.

Contributors include: W. Becker, C. Bellavitis, M.C. Boardman, M. Colosio, C. Couffe, M. Day, P.M. de Holan, A.A. Gorin, S. Guillory, N. Krueger, A. Passarelli, V. Pérez-Centeno, C. Reeck, L. Schjoedt, K.G. Shaver, A. Sud, T. Treffers, M.K. Ward

Iron Metabolism: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Consequences 3rd Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0470010282]

‘This textbook is clearly a milestone which should be to hand for every researcher and scholar working on or interested in the biochemistry and clinical aspects of iron. Those needing to go further in depth on some specific aspects will find not only an excellent starting point but also their pathway through the impressive list of references at the end of each chapter.’ Acta Cryst (International Union of Crystallography), November 2017 –This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

Iron is of fundamental importance to the growth, development and well-being of almost all living organisms. Multiple biological systems have evolved for the uptake, utilisation, storage, and homeostasis of iron in microbes, plants and mammals. Both iron deficiency and iron overload are found extensively in humans; the intimate links between iron and oxidative stress are associated with a wide range of pathologies. Iron has a well established role in infections by a range of microorganisms and parasites. Other metals such as copper and zinc are also closely linked with iron metabolism. Iron overloads and deficiencies are important factors in the health of humans and are therefore a key target in drug development.

Iron Metabolism: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Consequences, Third Edition presents a comprehensive overview of this important field. topics covered include:

Solution chemistry of iron in biological media
The importance of iron for biological systems
Microbial iron transport and metabolism
Iron uptake by plants and fungi
Cellular iron uptake and export in mammals
Intracellular iron storage and biomineralization
Intracellular iron metabolism and cellular iron homeostasis
Iron absorption in mammals,with particular reference to man, and regulation of systemic iron balance

Unlike many texts, which are organized by disease or pathogen, this unique resource presents a problem-oriented approach to the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases in children.

All chapters are organized by anatomic syndrome and guide you through each step in the management process from classifying the patient’s illness to recognizing life-threatening emergencies, developing a logical differential diagnosis, pinpointing the disease, and treating the patient.

All the features you’ve come to trust…

Patient-oriented approach helps you focus on the patient rather than the pathogen, and offers a complete review of the diagnostic and treatment process.
Step-by-step guidelines take you logically from evaluation and work-up to diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making.
Expert authors combine the scientific integrity and practicality established by Dr. Moffet, with the latest advances and their own authoritative views.

Plus a wealth of NEW MATERIAL…

More comprehensive coverage includes greater detail in all subject areas, as well as new material on pathogens identified since the last edition—including SARS-coronavirus, hantavirus, human metapneumovirus, West Nile virus, and potential agents of bioterrorism.
More treatment-centered approach helps you focus on the therapeutic process—from diagnostic evaluation and testing to treatment selection.
All chapters have been extensively revised and updated, and two new chapters have been added addressing HIV Infection and AIDS, and Congenital Immune Deficiency Syndromes.
