Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 33nd International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security, SAFECOMP 2014, held in Florence, Italy, in September 2014. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 3 practical experience reports were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on fault injection techniques, verification and validation techniques, automotive systems, coverage models and mitigation techniques, assurance cases and arguments, system analysis, security and trust, notations/languages for safety related aspects, safety and security.
Genetics of the Norway Rat
Genetics of the Norway Rat details the various genetic traits of Norway rat. The book covers a wide spectrum of trait inheritance, from color variation up to the various genetic mutation and quirks. The coverage of the text includes growth, metabolism, reproduction, and endocrinology. Several chapters also cover the physiological traits that include skeleton, viscera, sensory organs, and nervous. The text also takes into consideration the immunogenetics, pharmacogenetics, psychogenetics, and cytogenetics of the species studied. The book will be of great interest to mammalian geneticists. Researchers who are using rats as a test subject in their research will also benefit from the text.
Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation

This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.
