need for an interdisciplinary approach to research, although scientifically desirable and laudable, is not easily met by the individual investigator, a statement which I must now qualify lest it be taken as a faint-hearted view of the problems which confront us in this or any other field of disease-orientated re- search.
The purpose of the present volume, the first of two on the pharmacology, biochemistry, and physiology of cyclic nucleotides, is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date anthology on the nature and role of these important chemical regulators.
The growing interest in the field of biological membranes in recent years is documented by the very large number of articles, reviews, journals and books which are appearing in this field.
Sensorimotor systems are not rigidly wired predetermined networks but rather highly plastic structures that learn and modify their entire performance in response to changes in external or internal conditions.
No one has counted the enzymes in the human organism, and probably their profuse number can only be estimated from the restrictions the finite mass of genetic material imposes.
This book contains the invited papers of the interdisciplinary workshop on "e;Stochastic Nonlinear Systems in Physics, Chemistry and Biology"e; held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF), University of Bielefeld, West Germany, October 5-11, 1980.
"e;Anatomy is the mother of physiology"e; - this statement was used to characterize the evolution of physiology from anato- my as an independent science in the late nineteenth century.
The text of this book is derived from courses taught by the author in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
The Tenth International Conference on Plant Growth Substances was held July 22-26,1979 at the Wisconsin Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the joint sponsorship of The International Plant Growth Substances Association (IPGSA) and the Graduate School of the University.
This is the first of the set of three volumes in the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, New Series, that will cover the area of the hormonal regulation of plant growth and development.
If, ten years ago, one had been asked to comment on the prospects of peering into the fmest details of biomolecular organization, most electron microscopists would, I suppose at least, have been quite en- thusiastic.
This book contains the invited papers of an international symposium on Synergetics which was held at ZIF (Center for interdisciplinary research) at Bielefeld.
This book covers the principal reports and discussions which have been presented during the "e;Symposium on Anaerobic Metabolism and Lactic Acid"e; which was held in Anzere (Wallis, Switzerland) from 19th till 20th January 1978 under the patronage of the European Society of Cardiology.
The application of morphometric techniques in biology and the development ofbioche- mical methods for cytological-histological research have deepened substantially our knowledge and understanding of the structure, dynamics, and function of morphologi- cal structures, thereby improving upon a purely descriptive presentation.
Schlaganfälle töten jährlich mehr als 275000 Amerikaner und invalidisieren weitere 300 000; sie stellen somit eine der Hauptur sachen für Tod und Langzeitinvalidität dar.
The study of the genetic regulation of immune response to natural multidetermi- nant immunogens was undertaken by the method of bidirectional selective breed- ing of High or Low antibody responder lines of mice.
