Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology provides comprehensive, integrated reviews giving sound, critical, and provocative summaries of our present knowledge in environmental and comparative physiology, from the molecular to the organismic level.
Von der Arbeits gruppe Systemforschung an der Universität Osnabrück wird im Auftrag der International Union of Biologica1 Sciences (IUBS) ein Projekt zur Erstellung von sogenannten Element-Konzentrations Katastern in Ökosystemen (ECCE) entwickelt, das alle großen Ökosysteme der Erde einschließen soll.
International Mineral Economics provides an integrated overview of the concepts important for mineral exploration, mine valuation, mineral market analysis, and international mineral policies.
This book contains the contributions to an European symposium on "e;Trace Elements in Environmental History"e;, held from June 24th to 26th at GCittingen, FRG.
During the last fifteen years organoselenium chemistry underwent a spectacular mutation: from an exotic area of science practised by a few specialists it became a relatively well mastered and widely used methodology of synthetic organic chemistry.
More and more possible applications of organometallic compounds in organic synthesis have been uncovered and a growing number of scientists are attracted to this area of research.
This volume represents an edited selection of papers presented at the International symposium on the geology of tin deposits held in Nanning City in October 1984.
A full century has passed since the sudden and tragically premature demise of Aleksandr Porfir'evich Borodin in 1887 at the age of 53, when he was following with phenomenal success the disparate careers of musician, composer, organic chemist, and pioneer in women's medical education.
The present series, "e;Bio-organic Marine Chemistry,"e; is being launched at a time when we have the fundamental knowledge and the requisite instrumentation to probe the molecular basis of many biological phenomena.
Recent economic trends, especially the worldwide decline in oil prices, and an altered political climate in the United States have combined to bring about major reductions in research on renewable energy resources.
The trend towards miniaturisation of microelectronic devices and the search for exotic new optoelectronic devices based on multilayers confer a crucial role on semiconductor interfaces.
The idea of Professors Bolis and Gilles to gather together for a 3 days' meeting in the splendid environment of Crans-Montana in Switzerland a limited number of people around the subject of calcium and calcium bind- ing proteins seemed at first particularly attractive, and when they asked me to take charge of the scientific organization of the symposium, I accepted with enthusiasm.
At last geochemists are offered one comprehensive reference book which gives the Eh-pH diagrams for 75 elements found in the earth's surface environment, including transuranic and other radioactive species.
The appearance of the first review in 1965 [1] and the first monograph in 1968 [2] on chemiluminescence demonstrated the extent of the phenomenon of light emission from the reaction of organic compounds in solution.
This book the second volume in the "e;Springer Series in Biophysics"e; col- lects together contributions to the conference on "e;Biophysics and Syn- chrotron Radiation"e; held in July 86 at Frascati.
Readers of my books, students and scientists, often ask for spe- cial references not commonly found in introductory or interme- diate books on statistics.
"e;The chemical laboratory is actually not a dangerous place to work in, but it demands a reasonable prudence on the part of the experimenters and instructers, to keep it a safe place.
Studies on the electrochemical processes at the interface between two immiscible liquids began a long time ago: they date back to the end of the last century.
The field of Physical Chemistry has developed through the application of theories and concepts developed by physicists to properties or processes of interest to chemists.
There have been many significant microbiological, biochemical and technological advances made in the understanding and implementation of anaerobic digestion processes with respect to industrial and domestic wastewater treatment.
The strong trend in the Biological Sciences towards a quantitative characterization of processes has promoted an increased use of thermo- dynamic reasoning.
The close association between blood glucose control and the well-being of the patient, as well as the risk for the development of the "e;late"e; complications of 3 diabetes, make it necessary to attain near normalisation of blood glucosel- ).
