Rapidly increasing interest in the problems of air pollution and source-receptor relationships has led to a significant expansion of knowledge in the field of atmospheric chemistry.
Biotechnology has come to a stage where, by replacing some of the age- old practices of breeding, it can produce novel and improved plants and animals that can better serve human beings and their purposes.
On May 25,1978, the Commission on Toxicology ofthe Division of Clinical Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) established its Subcommittee on Environmental and Occupational Toxicology of Cadmium following aseries of Commission meetings in Kristiansand, Norway.
The following papers were presented at an international symposium on the mechanisms and treatment of nausea and vomiting in man held in Oxford in 1984.
Report, the editors replaced the term "e;speciation"e; wherever it occurred by "e;identification and quantification,"e; or "e;description of abundance,"e; or "e;reactivity,"e; or "e;transformation"e; of a chemical species, according to whichever one of the four meanings the author had evidently meant to convey.
This book should be regarded as the continuation to my previous book Developmental Biology of the Sea Urchin Embryo, edited by the Academic Press in 1973, rather than as a new edition.
It will be a long time before the quality of this profusely illustrated book is overtaken and the present spate of books on the subject of obstetric ultrasound may, as a result, suffer a numerical set-back - especially with translation into English which will "e;deliver the milk on everyone's doorstep"e;.
The aim of this book is to give a comprehensive description of the basic methods used in the ultraviolet spectroscopy of proteins, to discuss new trends and development of these methods, and to analyze their different applications in the study of various aspects of protein structure and dynamics.
A distinction between contamination and pollution is useful when we wish to consider what strategies to adopt in researching the impact of anthropogenic activities on the marine environment.
From earlier ecological studies it has become apparent that simple univariate or bivariate statistics are often inappropriate, and that multivariate statistical analyses must be applied.
These are the proceedings of an Advanced Research Workshop (ARW), sponsored by the NATO Science Panel, entitled "e;Pest Control: Operations and Systems Analysis in Fruit Fly Management"e;.
In most of the developed countries of the,World, significant efforts to control the pollution of surface waters have been underway for decades, and particularly the last 10-15 years.
Although sponges are one of the major components of littoral ecosystems, their systematics obviously lags behind that of the majority of other groups of marine invertebrates.
May I first congratulate, inconditionally, the Association MEDMARAVIS for organizing this symposium and for inviting me re- presenting the Sardinian Ministry of the Environment.
The protection of human health and food and fiber resources against the ravages of pests of many sorts is a continuous struggle by all people in the world.
During the past decade we have witnessed not only an increase in knowledge of the "e;traditional"e; biophysical problems, but also an understanding of the molecular basis of various biological phenomena.
The present collection of papers forms the Proceedings of the First Meeting on Brain Theory, held October 1-4, 1984 at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.
This second volume of Basic and Clinical Aspects of Neuroscience is devoted to the various transmitter systems of the brain (classical and neuropeptides).
The investigation of the relationships between a behavior pattern and its underlying sensory and neurophysiological mechanisms in both man and animals dates back well into the last century.
The present book contains the original papers and essential points of the general discussion of a meeting organized in a series of tri-annual conferences, initiated by Dr.
During its short 20 year history High Performance Liquid Chro- matography (HPLC) has won itself a firm place amongst the instrumental methods of analysis.
Significant progress has doubtlessly been made in the field of cere- bral protection compared to earlier centuries, as recently reviewed by Elisabeth Frost (6).
