Psychedelic therapies are gaining traction as potential treatments for a wide range of indications, but the structure and delivery of psychedelic therapies are a sharp departure from more traditional models of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for psychiatric and other medical disorders. This may be critical to their success. The current volume provides a comprehensive review of the state of the science of psychedelic therapies, including discussion of models and approaches to psychedelic therapies as well as the current status of safety and efficacy data for mood, substance use, trauma, obsessive-compulsive, neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative disorders, neurological, and inflammatory disorders.
Systems biology refers to the quantitative analysis of the dynamic interactions among several components of a biological system and aims to understand the behavior of the system as a whole. Systems biology involves the development and application of systems theory concepts for the study of complex biological systems through iteration over mathematical modeling, computational simulation and biological experimentation. Systems biology could be viewed as a tool to increase our understanding of biological systems, to develop more directed experiments, and to allow accurate predictions.
E=mc² is known as the most famous but least understood equation in physics. This two-volume textbook illuminates this equation and much more through clear and detailed explanations, new demonstrations, a more physical approach, and a deep analysis of the concepts and postulates of Relativity.
This manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the individual components of a soil, and behavioral tests, such as the Atterberg Limits tests that demonstrate how the fines fraction of a soil reacts when mixed with water and the Linear Shrinkage Test that demonstrates how much a soil shrinks.
Parasite presents the ethico-biological problem of parasitism in a metaphorical and artistic fashion. In this book, philosophers explore the film using sources such as the ancient satirist Lucian’s De Parasito, Nietzsche’s “the vengeance of the weak,” Dostoyevsky’s “Underground,” or Marxism, among others.
“Principi di chimica” presenta i concetti della materia con la chiarezza e la coerenza tipiche di Atkins, articolati in una struttura modulare pensata per insegnare e apprendere in maniera flessibile. L’obiettivo principale degli autori resta quello di portare lo studente ad affrontare la disciplina con approccio insieme critico e quantitativo, attraverso solide basi, imparando a costruire un modello teorico, a perfezionarlo con i dati sperimentali e a esprimerlo in numeri. Novità di questa edizione è il raggruppamento dei grandi argomenti della chimica in undici focus tematici, suddivisi in capitoli e intervallati da cinque sezioni di approfondimento sulla chimica contemporanea, gli interludi. Il docente ha così la possibilità di scegliere la successione in cui affrontare gli argomenti, anche omettendone alcuni, e questo si traduce in maggiore fruibilità per lo studente.
What if life isn’t just a part of the universe . . . what if it determines the very structure of the universe itself?
The theory that blew your mind in Biocentrism and Beyond Biocentrism is back, with brand-new research revealing the startling truth about our existence.
For as long as historians have contemplated the Jewish past, they have engaged with the idea of diaspora. Dedicated to the study of transnational peoples and the linkages these people forged among themselves over the course of their wanderings and in the multiple places to which they went, the term “diaspora” reflects the increasing interest in migrations, trauma, globalism, and community formations.
