Product Description

T Lymphocytes in the Liver is the first book to offer a comprehensive review of the newly understood relationship between the liver and the immune system. This edited volume examines the immunobiology of T cells – the way their behavior in the liver differs from that in other organs, and, conversely, the liver’s ability to effect changes in the activity of such immune cells. A number of relevant, cutting-edge issues are considered, including vaccine development, the liver’s potential role in autoimmune tissue damage, tolerance and transplant rejection, and the use of animal organs for human patients. Contributing authors from diverse specialties discuss topics including:
* T cells expressing antigen receptors in the liver
* Active T cells in the liver
* Extrathymic T cells in the liver
* The induction of peripheral tolerance by portal vein administration of antigen
* The immunobiology of viral hepatitis
* Immunity to Listeria monocytogenes infection of the liver
* Malaria and the liver
* T cells and autoimmune liver disease
* Hepatic T cells in primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis.

Product Description

A practical, hands-on guide to using the microscope to analyze activated sludge in wastewater treatment

The microscope provides the wastewater treatment plant operator with a special tool for process control and troubleshooting of the activated sludge process. The operator can “read” the organisms and use them as “bioindicators” to determine if operational conditions are acceptable or not acceptable. Written for plant operators and technicians and avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, Microscopic Examination of the Activated Sludge Process explores and explains:

• Microscopy, including microscopic measurements and techniques
• Directions for preparing and applying microbiological stains and immobilizing agents and techniques for preparing wet mounts and smears
• How to identify various types of organisms, including: floc particles and foam; protozoa; rotifers; worms and worm-like organisms; crustaceans; filamentous organisms; and algae and fungi
• The collection, evaluation, and presentation of observations

This straightforward guide includes figures, tables, worksheets, photomicrographs, and black-and-white drawings of many living, microscopic components of the activated sludge process. It equips plant operators and technicians to monitor, regulate, and troubleshoot the treatment processes and also serves as a valuable resource for research professionals and sanitary engineers in wastewater treatment.
