There is increasing awareness that the autonomic nervous system, through its central and peripheral pathways, plays a critical role in the regulation of the circulation.
This book is based on the papers presented at the conference on "e;Mecha- nisms of DNA Damage and Repair: Implications for Carcinogenesis and Risk Assessment,"e; held at the National Bureau of Standards on June 2-7, 1985, This volume deals with mechanisms of DNA damage and repair at the molecular level; consequences of unrepaired or misrepaired damage, with major emphasis on carcinogenesis; drugs which bind selectively to altered and potentially damaging DNA sequences; and potential utilization of DNA damage as an endpoint for assessing risks of UV light, ionizing radiations, chemicals, drugs, and hazardous agents in foods.
Since its inception the research area of platelet pharmacology has always been a vigorous one and it is a characteristic that new approaches to the understanding of platelet function are rapidly and thoroughly investigated.
Research on metal-containing polymers began in the early 1960's when several workers found that vinyl ferrocene and other vinylic transition metal u -com- plexes would undergo polymerization under the same conditions as conventional organic monomers to form high polymers which incorporated a potentially reactive metal as an integral part of the polymer structures.
The ready acceptance and wide demand for copies of the first two volumes of Chemical Mutagens: Principles and Methods Jar Their Detection have demon- strated the need for wider dissemination of information on this timely and urgent subject.
Volume 3 of the Encyclopedia of the Alkaloids covers the literature to the end of October 1976 and includes a large number of these compounds which have been discovered since the first two volumes were published in 1975.
The present book is essentially based on the lectures on the chemistry of organic compounds of fluorine that I gave in 1969 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia, as a graduate course.
Crystallography may be described as the science of the structure of materi- als, using this word in its widest sense, and its ramifications are apparent over a broad front of current scientific endeavor.
This and its companion Volume 2 chronicle the proceedings of the First Technical Conference on Polyimides: Synthesis, Char- acterization and Applications held under the auspices of the Mid- Hudson Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers at Ellenville, New York, November 10-12, 1982.
The second edition of this textbook is identical with its fourth German edi- tion and it thus has the same goals: precise definition of basic phenomena, a broad survey of the whole field, integrated representation of chemistry, physics, and technology, and a balanced treatment of facts and comprehen- sion.
Water-soluble gums are beneficial in many fields, including food, agricul- ture, adhesives, biotechnology, ceramics, cosmetics, explosives, paper, tex- tiles and texturization, among many others.
The presence of contaminant flavonoids in vitamin C preparations from citrus fruits initially led Szent-Gyorgyi and his collaborators to suggest that a flavonoid compound, with biological activity for the prevention of capillary fragility, was vitamin P.
Handbook of Platelet Physiology and Pharmacology represents the first comprehensive work to review blood platelet biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology and function.
