Book Description
A Deadly Sea Voyage A Deadlier Destination With microchips implanted in their skulls at birth, the slaves of Cantral and Cillineese labored under the tyrannical rule of the nobles and their computers for decades. Monica, a noble who avoided the implanting and lived as a slave until the age of sixteen, freed the slaves by risking her life to destroy the computers in those cities. Now she has to embark on an even more dangerous journey across the ocean to the Eursian continent where a rogue noble has established a governing system of his own that was not affected by Cantral’s downfall. In the meantime, the freed slaves of Cantral are taking revenge on their former masters, including the very people who saved them. Monica and her friends Simon and Aric must escape the city and reach Eursia in time to stop the rogue noble’s implementation of his system, which would enslave everyone in that part of the world. As the only chip-less person in the world, the fate of millions rides on Monica’s shoulders. She must find her long-lost mother, destroy the Eursian computers, and free the slaves before Eursia suffers the fate of Cillineese—complete termination.

Cyber Security
Author: Markus Mack
Publisher: Scientific e-Resources
ISBN: 1839473045
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Cybersecurity refers to the measures taken to keep electronic information private and safe from damage or theft. It is also used to make sure these devices and data are not misused. Cybersecurity applies to both software and hardware, as well as information on the Internet, and can be used to protect everything from personal information to complex government systems. Cyber security is a distributed problem partly because of the distributed nature of the underlying infrastructure and partly because industries, government and individuals all come at it with different perspectives. Under these circumstances regulation is best attempted from the bottom up, and legalisation, especially in the area of criminal law, should be sharply focused. There is the need for distributed approaches instead of the more traditional single, concentrated approach. Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, computers, and data from attack, damage, and unauthorized access. Cybersecurity training teaches professionals to spot vulnerabilities, fend off attacks, and immediately respond to emergencies. The spread of modern information technologies has brought about considerable changes in the global environment, ranging from the speed of economic transactions to the nature of social interactions to the management of military operations in both peacetime and war. The development of information technology makes it possible for adversaries to attack each other in new ways and with new forms of damage, and may create new targets for attack. This book fully introduces the theory and practice of cyber security. Comprehensive in scope, it covers applied and practical elements, theory, and the reasons for the design of applications and security techniques. It treats both the management and engineering issues of computer security.

Viral Entry into Host Cells
Author: Stefan Pöhlmann
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461476518
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
For a virus to invade a host cell it needs to penetrate the physical barrier imposed by the plasma membrane. Viruses have evolved specialized surface proteins to meet this challenge. These proteins facilitate delivery of the viral genetic information into the host cell by either fusing the viral envelope with a host cell membrane or by forming membrane pores. Membrane fusion and pore formation critically depend on the engagement of host cell receptors and receptor choice is a key determinant of viral tropism. The multi-faceted interplay between viral and cellular factors during virus entry is a fascinating field of study, which can provide important insight into viral pathogenesis and define new targets for intervention. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting field of research.

Liver Immunology
Author: M. Eric Gershwin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 331902096X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Liver Immunology: Principles and Practice, Second Edition begins with important information about the epidemiology and mortality of liver disease worldwide. This information is followed by chapters related to basic immunology, application of liver immunology for diagnosis, and several excellent chapters that provide a solid foundation for understanding immune-mediated liver disease, including those associated with the biliary tree. A chapter on non-hepatic manifestations of immune mediated liver disease helps provide context for how these diseases affect the patient overall. In addition, chapters discuss various discrete immunologically-mediated infectious liver disorders including those related to bacteria, parasites, and all of the classic viruses. Chapters on the traditional autoimmune liver diseases -- primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis as well as overlap syndrome – are also included. The breadth of this comprehensive second edition is highlighted by chapters on alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and drug-induced liver disease, among others. This invaluable new edition ends with a forward-looking view of future directions and how the field might meet the challenge of refractory patients. Developed by a renowned group of authors, Liver Immunology: Principles and Practice, Second Edition will again serve as a comprehensive textbook by providing an excellent overview for this rapidly evolving field. It greatly adds to the understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases, while also providing novel insights that can be harnessed into helping improve the care of patients afflicted with various immune-mediated diseases. This volume will again be a must-read for clinicians at all levels, investigators and students.
