The purpose of this monograph is to bring together in one volume some of the more recent knowledge of the cellular and biochemical constit- uents of sheep's blood.
When WILHELM RUHLAND developed his plan for an Encyclopedia of Plant Physiol- ogy more than three decades ago, biology could still be conveniently subdivided into classical areas.
The Advanced Series in Agricultural Sciences is designed to fill a long-felt need for advanced educational and technological books in the agricultural sciences.
These notes are based on (i) a series of lectures that I gave at the 14th Biennial Seminar of the Canadian Mathematical Congress held at the University of Western Ontario August 12-24, 1973 and (li) some of my lectures in a modeling course that I have cotaught in the Division of Bio-Medical Sciences at Brown during the past several years.
As plant physiology increased steadily in the latter half of the 19th century, problems of absorption and transport of water and of mineral nutrients and problems of the passage of metabolites from one cell to another were investigated, especially in Germany.
The discovery of the reversible red far-red control of plant growth and development and the subsequent in vivo identification and isolation of the photoreceptor pigment, phyto- chrome, constitutes one of the great achievements in modern biology.
At the 6th International Conference on Plant Growth Substances, held in Carleton University, Ottawa in 1968, it was decided that the 7th should be held in Czecho- slovakia, following an invitation by Dr.
Within recent years man has become increasingly aware of the disastrous environmental changes that he has introduced, and therefore society is now more concerned about understanding the adaptations organisms have evolved in order to survive and flourish in their environment.
This book summarizes the papers presented at the International Symposium on vascular smooth muscle, organized in combination with the XXV Interna- tional Congress of Physiological Sciences by the German Society of Angiology e.
The Meyerhof Symposium on "e;Molecular Bioenergetics and Macromolecular Biochemistry"e; took place in Heidelberg from the 5th to the 8th of July, 1970.

Phenomena as diverse as tuberculin sensitivity, delayed sensitivity to soluble proteins other than tuberculin, contact allergy, homograft rejection, experimental autoallergies, and the response to many microorganisms, have been classified as members of the class of immune reactions known as delayed or cellular hypersensitivity.
Why should there be a handbook of sensory physiology, and if so, why now' The editors have asked this question, marshalled all of the arguments that seemed to speak against their project, and then discovered that most of these arguments really spoke in favor of it: there seemed to be no doubt that the attempt should be made and that it should be made now.
The prime purpose of this paper is to look at the region of brain which many authors call 'paleocortex' and to ask how much of the area it embraces can be described properly as cortex.
It is two years since a general meeting of the Gesellschaft fur Biologische Chemie first requested us to organize the 21 st Mosbach Colloquium on mammalian reproduction, and one year since we received final authorization to do so.
If, following the solvent extraction of a hydrocarbon from a plant, it is not known whether it is one or the other, a method of distinguishing the two is described by HENDRICKS, WILDMAN and JONES (1946).

Die Kurze Geschichte der Geologie und Paläontologie beschreibt die Entwicklung des Wissenschaftsgebietes von der Antike bis heute, die vor allem durch die jüngsten technischen Errungenschaften deutlich beschleunigt wurde.
When I prepared the first German edition of this book in 1955, it was my intention to acquaint biologists in my country with the new and exciting results being obtained on the other side of theAtlantic Ocean (incl.
The problem of the relation between our bodies and our minds, and espe- cially of the link between brain structures and processes on the one hand and mental dispositions and events on the other is an exceedingly difficult one.
These Proceedings have been assembled from papers presented at the Conference on Models of Biological Growth and Spread, held at the German Cancer Research Centre Heidelberg and at the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the University of Heidelberg, July 16-21, 1979.
Erstmalig für den deutschen Sprachraum wird ein methodisches Kompendium vorgelegt, mit dessen Hilfe eine umfassende Bearbeitung von historischen menschlichen Skelettresten ohne weiterführende Literatur möglich ist.
