This book reviews the potential of natural products in the treatment and management of neurodegenerative disorders. The introductory chapter provides fundamental insights into neurodegenerative disorders. Subsequently, the book covers the therapeutic potential of polyphenols and other agents for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, the application of natural ingredients for Friedreich ataxia, and the combined effects of natural ingredients in addressing Huntington's disease. The book also explores conventional therapeutic regimens for Lewy body disease and examines the synergistic effects of both natural and synthetic agents. Furthermore, the chapters discuss the utilization of natural extracts in the management of spinal muscular atrophy while examining broader synthetic management approaches. The second section of the book explores nanodelivery systems for managing neurodegenerative disorders. It discusses synergistic treatment approaches, followed by an analysis of advanced techniques such as electron spinning and electron spraying and their application in neurodegenerative disorders. The book also reviews the therapeutic potential of flavonoids in managing neurodegenerative disorders. Towards the end, the book also examines the ethical framework of natural remedies used in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This book is intended for neuroscientists and researchers in the fields of neurology, pharmacology, and nanotechnology.

This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.

Public administration and policy analysis education have long emphasized tidiness, stages, and rationality, but practitioners increasingly work in a world where objectivity is buffeted by, repressed by, and sometimes defeated by value conflict. Over five beautifully-written and accessible editions, Public Policy Praxis has demonstrated that politics and policy are "messy" and power explains much more about the policy process than does rationality. Using a case-based approach, authors Randy S. Clemons and Mark K. McBeth blend theory and practice to uniquely equip students to better grapple with ambiguity and complexity.Public Policy Praxis introduces students to the "how" of policy analysis alongside its limitations, practical political problems, and the ethical problems associated with different techniques and methodologies. By offering six different analytical models of policy analysis-rational, quantitative, political, pragmatic, postpositivist, and democratic-the reader explores multiple perspectives to tackle complex policy issues. Unlike many US-centric public policy books on the market, Public Policy Praxis is designed to work in international policy settings. New features include expanded coverage of narrative analysis, earlier introduction of mixed methods, updated cases on pressing issues like opioid abuse, school safety, and renewable energy, and enhanced discussions of political polarization and evidence-based policymaking. A fully-updated online Teaching Appendix is included for adopters, offering original cases, answers to problems, alternative approaches to case use, teaching exercises, student assignments, pedagogical ideas, and supplemental material directly tied to concepts covered in the text. With a conversational writing style, Public Policy Praxis, 5th Edition is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in public policy analysis, community planning, leadership, social welfare policy, educational policy, family policy, and special seminars.
