The present manual contains a collection of laboratory instructions used during an international training course on membrane biophysics which was held at Homburg in the fall of 1966.
The subject of geomagnetic micropulsations has developed extremely rapidly and it is difficult to know when is an appropriate time to pause and assess the sum total of our knowledge-both observational and theoretical.
Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Turbulence is devoted to a method for obtaining analytical solutions to problems of electromagnetic wave propagation in turbulence.
GIOTTO, das spektakulärste Raumprojekt seit der Mondlandung und ein Glanzstück der europäischen Raumforschung, wird von dem versierten Autor Nigel Calder spannend dargestellt.
According to my latest model for the last glacial maximum (LGM) (Grosswald 1988), the Arctic continental margin of Eurasia was glaciated by the Eurasian ice sheet, which consisted of three interconnected ice domes --the Scandinavian, Kara, and East Siberian.
Membranes composed of amphiphilic molecules are highlyflexible surfaces that determine the architecture ofbiological systems and provide a basic structural elementfor complex fluids such as microemulsions.
One of major challenges facing Earth's science in the nextdecade and beyondis the development of an accurate longterm observational data set to study global change.
In 1979 I gave graduate courses at the University of Zurich and lectured in the 'Troisieme Cycle de la Suisse Romande' (a consortium offour uni- versities in the french-speaking part of Switzerland), and these lectures were the basis of the 'Springer Lecture Notes in Physics', Volume 150, published in 1981.
Review articles by leading scientists in their fields are brought together in this volume to provide a comprehensive treatment of photoacoustic, photothermal and photochemical processes at surfaces and in thin films.
For a long time, immunology has been dominated by the idea of a simple linear cause-effect relationship between the exposure to an antigen and the production of specific antibodies against that antigen.
The concept of this book was developed during the Winter Seminar held in the Austrian mountains at the Alpengasthof Zeinisjoch, Tirol-Vorarlberg, from February 27 to March 3, 1988.
The biological action of radiation undoubtedly constitutes an issue of actual con- cern, particularly after incidences like those in Harrisburg or Chernobyl.
Activation by and desensitization to signals originating from the environment is common in all organisms, ranging from prokaryotes to higher eukaryotes.
Aerosols, which are gas-phase dispersions of particulate matter, draw upon and con- tribute to multidisciplinary work in technology and the natural sciences.
The above consideration indicates that at present many of the experi- mental facts on PS in animals can be quantitatively explained within the limits of the "e;universal"e; photoreceptor membrane concept.
