The International Biological Programme (IBP) was a cooperative effort on the part of scientists throughout the world, whose goal was an integrated study of the basic processes of biological productivity.
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used with increasing frequency in recent years to study the surface mor- phology of normal, transformed and malignant leukocytes.
Mit der Elektroencephalographie und der Elektromyographie hat die Neurophysiologie zwei wichtige Beiträge zur klinischen Routinearbeit geleistet, die aus der Funktions diagnostik einerseits des Gehirns, andererseits des peripheren Nervensystems nicht mehr wegzudenken sind.
This book contains a number of papers dealing with the main topics of a Symposium on "e;Lipids and Lipid Polymers in Higher Plants"e;, held in July 1976 at the Botanical Institute of the University of Karlsruhe.
In the spring of 1969 a small meeting was convened at the CSIRO Riverina Laboratory, Deniliquin, New South Wales, to discuss the biology of the genus Atriplex, a group of plants considered by those who attended to be of profound importance both in relation to range management in the region and as a tool in physiological research.
During recent years enzyme histochemical reactions have increasingly been considered as important, the reason being that enzyme histo- chemistry is now a well-established link between morphology and bio- chemistry.
The acid metabolism of certain succulent plants, now known as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) has fascinated plant physiologists and biochemists for the last one and a half centuries.
Dynamic Morphology is the attempt to correlate surface architec- ture and shape of fixed cells, as visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with the behavior of living cells, recorded by microcinematography (MCM).
The establishment of the morphologically and physiologically intimate contact be- tween two genetically different individuals, mother and embryo, which takes place during implantation, has always exerted a fascination on researchers in biology and medicine.
In the comparative physiology of photoreception by the Protista and the invertebrates two aspects are emphasized: (1) the diversity of visual processes in these groups and (2) their bearing upon general mechanisms of photoreception.
