Facts about the most three common types of cancer in Syria
Cancer occurs when the cellular reproduction process goes out of control. In other words, cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled, uncoordinated and undesirable cell division. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells continue to grow and divide for their whole lives, replicating into more and more harmful cells. But death rates are falling, thanks to earlier detection of tumours and improved use of existing treatments - mainly chemotherapy biological therapy and radiotherapy. And today Our research tends to spot the light on the most common types of cancers in Syria which was found to be lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.
Facial Rejuvenation : A Total Approach
The past decade has seen an explosion in non-surgical techniques that improve the quality, tone and color of aging skin. It is now through a variety of non-surgical, non-invasive approaches, often used in combination, that dramatic skin changes can be induced. This reader-friendly and unique compendium on all aspects of non-invasive facial rejuvenation shows the current approach to non-invasive facial rejuvenation. It describes when and how to use laser and laser-like technology, the variety of superficial and deep peels which can be used by themselves or in conjunction with lasers.

Ethnobotany : A phytochemical perspective
Explores the chemistry behind hundreds of plant medicines, dyes, fibers, flavors, poisons, insect repellants, and many other uses of botanicals. Bridging the gap between ethnobotany and chemistry, this book presents an introduction to botany, ethnobotany, and phytochemistry to clearly join these fields of study and highlight their importance in the discovery of botanical uses in modern industry and research. Part I. Ethnobotany, explores the history of plant exploration, current issues such as conservation and intellectual property rights, and a review of plant anatomy. An extensive section on plant taxonomy highlights particularly influential and economically important plants from across the plant kingdom. Part II. Phytochemistry, provides fundamentals of secondary metabolism, includes line drawings of biosynthetic pathways and chemical structures, and describes traditional and modern methods of plant extraction and analysis. The last section is devoted to the history of native plants and people and case studies on plants that changed the course of human history from five geographical regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Ocean. Throughout the entire book, vivid color photographs bring science to life, capturing the essence of human botanical knowledge and the beauty of the plant kingdom.

Essays in Brewing Science
Essays in Brewing Science is an original and comprehensive examination of brewing from the perspective of a real brewer. Brewing texts generally use a sequential barley-beer-bottle organization that takes the reader systematically through the various stages of beer-making in a logical and informative way. This approach adequately communicates the essential operation. However, brewers think about all of the stages in the process that might affect a single property, such as beer color. Alternatively brewers might ponder the influence of such affective agents as modification or oxygen throughout the process.
