Written for those with intermediate and advanced statistical knowledge, this is a guide to extreme value theory in engineering. It covers classical methods with advances in the field. It also contains examples that illustrate the theoretical results, and takes the reader from simple applications through to complex cases of dependence.

While therapist is guided by protocols and manuals, psychotherapy remains an art. This book traces the common thread in various psychotherapy approaches such as behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, strategic, and humanistic and defines this essence as principles and objectives that must be preserved in the face of standardization in the field.

Considers how the basic chemical conditions of the Earth - from atmosphere to soil to seawater - have been and are being affected by the existence of life. This title helps students extrapolate small-scale examples to the global level, and also discusses the instrumentation being used by NASA and its role in studies of global change.

Includes chapters on a range of topics, covering both of the main arrangements of the reconstituted system, namely planar lipid bilayers and spherical liposomes. This title explores the planar lipid bilayer systems and spherical liposomes from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.

pH Interfering Agents as Chemosensitizers In Cancer Therapy, Volume Thirteen, provides a detailed overview of the chemosensitizers for the treatment of cancer spanning from biochemical and structural features to pharmacology and drug-design, including technological applications. The book is structured with innovative outlines and a distinction between experimental and clinical results. The continuous discovery and assessment of the role played by old/new synthetic drugs, natural compounds and technological applications has led to the urgent need of classification in terms of biological activity, mechanism of action, clinical outcomes, cancer cell lines sensible to the treatment, and potentialities to better orient research in this field. Moreover, all the aspects relevant for medicinal chemistry (drug design, structure-activity relationships, permeability data, cytotoxicity, appropriate statistical procedures, and molecular modeling studies) are strictly considered.

Fighting the Opioid Epidemic: The Role of Providers and the Clinical Laboratory in Understanding Who Is Vulnerable covers the important aspects that are essential in fighting the opioid epidemic. This succinct reference highlights how the toxicology laboratory can play a vital role in fighting the opioid epidemic by implementing a robust system for drugs of abuse testing as well as drug testing in pain management patients. It targets health care professionals in a technical manner, discussing polymorphisms of important genes that may be associated with increased vulnerability of alcohol and drug addiction to an individual.
