New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful information about the nucleus.
This book is intended to collect in one place as much information as possible on the use of EPR spectroscopy in the analysis of systems in which two or more spins are magnetically coupled.
Over the past few years there has been a remarkable and rapid development of modern analytical methods, and the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry have been no exception.
It is surprising, and even disappointing, that there have been very few meetings and published volumes resulting from these meetings that focus attention upon all of the groups of DNA tumor viruses.
Evolution of Castes in Insects l BERNHARD RENSCH The evolution of organisms in the succession of generations has been primarilly achieved through the appearance of new hereditary variants with minor deviations along with the development of stable structures and functions.
Michael Evenari's biography unfolds his exciting, manifold life: his love for botany, the confrontation with political events as a youngster and his thrilling experience of helping in the development of Israel.
The understanding of pollutant transformations, sorption and transport in soils and uptake by plants is the key to controlling contaminant movement towards groundwater and accumulation in food-chains.
The 17th volume of the "e;Advances in Neurosurgery"e; contains a selection of the scientific reports of the 39th annual meeting of the German Society for Neurosurgery, which was held in Cologne from May 8-11, 1988.
Das Buch behandelt die Robotik aus der Sicht der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) sowohl für einen einzelnen Roboter als auch für Roboterverbände (verteilte KI).
Despite the many advances made during the last decade in various aspects of fungal biochemistry, there have been very few volumes devoted to the sub- ject in recent years.
The Fourth International Workshop on "e;In Vitro Effects of Mineral Dusts on Cells"e; was held on September 20 - 23, 1988 in Auberge Estrimont, Orford, Quebec, Canada.
A NATO Advanced study Institute on "e;Receptors, Membrane Trans- port and Signal Transduction"e;, was held on the Island of Spet- sai, Greece, from August 16-27, 1988, in order to consider re- cent developments in membrane receptor research, membrane trans- port and signal transduction mechanisms.
Membrane proteins, lipids and their glycosylated derivatives are discussed both with respect to their biosynthesis as well as regarding their mutual interaction and assembly into functional membranes.
Whereas platinum compounds are already clinically used as anticancer agents, tin compounds exhibiting high enough antitumour activity have not yet been found to enter the clinical phase.
The relatively simple, stratified nature of the retina and its spe- fied use in the visual process has long made it an inviting tissue to study both for its own sake and as a model for the more complex processes of the brain.
More than 25 years ago, when ultrasound diagnostic methods were first intro- duced into gynecology and obstetrics, few of the pioneers of these techniques sus- pected what importance sonographic diagnosis was destined to assume.
Dieses Sammelwerk gibt neben einer Einführung in die makroskopische Anatomie der Regenbogenforelle eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Histologie der einzelnen Organe bzw.
Given the problems of the environment in relation to the ever-growing civi- lization activities of man, it is not surprising that in recent years more and more related data have been collected, phenomena have been observed and concerns have been expressed.
The floricultural industry has been undergoing an unprecedented revolu- tion in terms of the type of commodity produced and the production and marketing technology in both developed and developing countries.
During the intensification of research activities in the Southern Ocean in recent years, both at national levels and through international cooperation in such projects as BIOMASS with its FIBEX and SIBEX phases, the need was felt increasingly for closer collaboration between biologists, meteorologists, and oceanographers in the study of the interaction between the atmospheric forces, the water masses, and the living resources.
This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head- lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels.
Many bacteria, such as certain Neisseria and Haemophilus or Escherichia coli, are able to withstand the bactericidal activity of complement and phagocytes.
