"One of the main causes of failure in the treatment of cancer is the development of drug resistance by the cancer cells. The design of cancer chemotherapy has become increasingly sophisticated, yet there is no cancer treatment that is 100% effective against disseminated cancer. Resistance to treatment with anticancer drugs results from a variety of factors including individual variations in patients and somatic cell genetic differences in tumors, even those from the same tissue of origin. Frequently, resistance is intrinsic to the cancer, but as therapy becomes more and more effective, acquired resistance has also become common. The most common reason for acquisition of resistance to a broad range of anticancer drugs is expression of one or more energy-dependent transporters that detect and eject anticancer drugs from cells. Studies on the mechanisms of cancer drug resistance have yielded important information about how to circumvent this resistance to improve cancer chemotherapy and its implications forpharmacokinetics of many commonly used drugs. This book presents new and important research in this field."-✅Publisher‘s description.

Free Download Emerging Paradigms for Antibiotic-Resistant Infections: Beyond the Pill
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981975271X | 1490 Pages | EPUB (True) | 49 MB
This book delves into antibiotic resistance, offering insights into its emergence, mechanisms, and impact on global health. The book also scrutinizes over-prescription, agricultural use, and the scarcity of new drug development, while spotlighting the role of globalization in its propagation. It moves beyond conventional approaches, examining alternative strategies like phage therapy, immunotherapy, and nanotechnology. Highlighting precision diagnostics and the importance of policy implications, it navigates through public health strategies, surveillance, and international collaborations. Finally, it glimpses into the future, delineating the challenges, opportunities, and the urgency of action required to steer away from a post-antibiotic era. This book serves as an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and scientists in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, microbiology, and public health.

Free Download Radiohead and the Resistant Concept Album: How to Disappear Completely By Marianne Tatom Letts
2010 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0253355702 | PDF | 2 MB
How the British rock band Radiohead subverts the idea of the concept album in order to articulate themes of alienation and anti-capitalism is the focus of Marianne Tatom Letts’s analysis of Kid A and Amnesiac. These experimental albums marked a departure from the band’s standard guitar-driven base layered with complex production effects. Considering the albums in the context of the band’s earlier releases, Letts explores the motivations behind this change. She places the two albums within the concept-album/progressive-rock tradition and shows how both resist that tradition. Unlike most critics of Radiohead, who focus on the band’s lyrics, videos, sociological importance, or audience reception, Letts focuses on the music itself. She investigates Radiohead’s ambivalence toward its own success, as manifested in the vanishing subject of Kid A on these two albums.

Free Download Mikayel Melkumyan, "Seismic Isolation Strategies for Earthquake-Resistant Construction"
English | ISBN: 1527518027 | 2019 | 268 pages | PDF | 15 MB
Earthquakes are catastrophic events that cause huge economic losses due to the vulnerability of the existing building stock. However, collapses of vulnerable buildings can be avoided if preventative measures, such as enhancement of their earthquake resistance, are implemented on time. This book will allow the reader to become acquainted with a number of unique, modern and cost-effective seismic isolation strategies, which can be easily, and in very short periods of time, and without interruption of the use of the buildings, implemented with high efficiency in existing buildings, making them earthquake proof. An important aspect here is that the books seismic isolation strategies are demonstrated on real examples of existing buildings with different structural systems, such as reinforced concrete frame buildings with shear walls and stone buildings with load-bearing walls. The cost-effectiveness of the suggested strategies is further proved by comparative analyses carried out for buildings both with and without seismic isolation systems.

Free Download Genomics of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Industrial Waste Water Treatment
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031446178 | 268 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This book discusses the key problems and solutions with various applicable approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant genes in industrial waste water. Several genes are selected within the chapters to illustrate the past and future roles of molecular ecophysiology and genomics in the development of wastewater microbiology as an important subdiscipline of microbial ecology. As we have very limited knowledge of composition, dynamics and stability of microbial communities, various processes in wastewater treatment have been generally considered to be "black box." In recent years, with the development of several new high throughput sequencing platforms, metagenome sequencing strategies and bioinformatics toolboxes, the analysis of the genome of complex communities has become much more accessible and means easier.
