Although upstaged by the tragic appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex viruses (HSV) types 1 and 2 continue to be major human pathogens against which we lack acceptable vaccines or other means of immunological control.
Exploration and play behaviour form the subject of thisbook, in which a wide range of research activities, boththeoretical and practical, are presented from variousfields.
Studies on the colon not only serve medical interest or clinical purposes, but are also a highly interesting subject of comparative physiology, from which we can learn much about the basic principles in physiology.
This seris keeps scientists and advanced studentsspecialized on a particular subject informed of the latestdevelopments and results in all different areas of botany.
As a result of the molecular genetic analysis of development similar mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression are found in a wide range of organisms.
The examination of excavated human bone finds is mainly the domain of anthropologists and forensic pathologists, the former working with ancient and historical specimens, the latter with modern finds.
Immunology is largely a science of observation and experimentation, and these approaches have lead to great increases in our knowledge of the genes, molecules and cells of the immune system.
Although many theoretical developments have been achieved inrecent years, the progress both in understanding andapplication of risk and reliability analysis in waterresources and environmental engineering remains slow.
Water is the most effective agent in the climate system to modulate energy transfer by radiative processes, through its exchanges of latent heat and within cascades of chemical processes.
Stability of the internal environment in which neuronal elements are situated is unquestionably an important prerequisite for the effective transmission of information in the nervous system.
This volume intends to provide a comprehensive overview on the mecha- nisms of muscle contraction and non-muscle cell motility at the molecu- lar and cellular level, not only for investigators in these fields but also for general readers interested in these topics.
This volume is the final outcome of a conference designed to wrap up IOCP Project 157 ("e; Early Organic Evolution and Mineral and Energy Resources "e;) after a decade of prolific activity.
Volumes five and six of Bioorganic Marine Chemistry differ from their predecessors in two respects - they deal exclusively with laboratory synthesis of marine natural products and they represent the effort of a single author and his associates.
