The impacts of specifically experienced external and internal environments upon phylogenetically established pathways of ontogenetic development seem to be responsible for the intra-species variation of organisms.
This volume is the third of a series on Membrane Proteins and, like the pre- ceding manuals, is the result of an International Advanced Course entitled Isolation and Characterization of Membrane Proteins: Biochemical and Bio- physical Aspects sponsored by the Federation of European Biochemical So- cieties (FEBS) and the Italian Research Council (CNR).
The ability to use tools skillfully is generally regarded as one of the major achievements in the evolutionary development of the human nervous system.
Much of the recent spectacular progress in the biological sciences can be at- tributed ot the ability to isolate, analyze, and structurally characterize proteins and peptides which are present in cells and cellular organelles in only very small amounts.
In neurophysiology, the emphasis has been on single-unit studies for a quarter century, since the sensory work by Lettwin and coworkers and by Hubel and Wiesel, the cen- tral work by Mountcastle, the motor work by the late Evarts, and so on.

As a result of the green revolution, the use of yield-increasing inputs such as fer- tilizer and pesticides became a matter of course in irrigated rice farming in Southeast Asia.
Arachidonic acid metabolites are known to playa regulatory role in a number of biological systems, in which they function as microenviron- mental hormones and intracellular signal mediators.
On three occasions and at different locations, conferences were held to honor the eightieth birthday of Professor Herbert Frohlich: on the 18th December, 1985, in Liverpool, England; on the 14th February, 1986, in Stuttgart, Germany; and on the 8th March, 1986, on the Palm Coast, Florida.
The history of medicine is dotted with the episodic appearance of new discoveries, scientific breakthroughs, and the development of new schools of medicine, and each has contributed to the evolution of the art and science of the practice of medicine.
This book is based on the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Mesenchymal-Epithelial Interactions in Neural Development"e; which was held in Berlin during March 1986.
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Gangliosides and Modu- lation of Neuronal Functions"e; was held at the University of Stutt- gart-Hohenheim, Federal Republic of Germany, on October 20 - 24, 1986.
The Editorial Board and the Publishers of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology wish to express their profound grief at the untimely death of Professor Peter Baker.
New methods in immunocytochemistry and hybridization techniques enable the pathologist active in diagnosis to clarify more effectively problems in the classification and prognosis of tumors.
There have been many significant microbiological, biochemical and technological advances made in the understanding and implementation of anaerobic digestion processes with respect to industrial and domestic wastewater treatment.
The strong trend in the Biological Sciences towards a quantitative characterization of processes has promoted an increased use of thermo- dynamic reasoning.
In recent years, papillomaviruses in general and human papillo- maviruses in particular have been recognized as possible agents of important diseases, including some forms of human cancer.
Oral birth in the Australian gastric brooding frog Rheobatrachus sUus 2 Preface I have deliberately chosen the title picture to the preface, which shows the oral birth of a young gastric brooding frog (Rheobatrachus situs), to draw the reader's attention to the preface since I wish to explain why the book was written and illustrated in the way it now appears.
The close association between blood glucose control and the well-being of the patient, as well as the risk for the development of the "e;late"e; complications of 3 diabetes, make it necessary to attain near normalisation of blood glucosel- ).
In May 1984 the Swedish Council for Scientific Research convened a small group of investigators at the scientific research station at Abisko, Sweden, for the purpose of examining various conceptual and mathematical views of the evolution of complex systems.
By the end of the last century, the only region in all of Europe where the natural vegetation remained untouched over large expanses was Eastern Europe.
