Offers an authoritative synthesis of knowledge of the planet Mercury after the MESSENGER mission, for researchers and students in planetary science.
Dear Popples is a simple book. It has no clever sentences. No literary tricks. Not even a trailblazing plot. What is has - is Truth. In good measure. Written in the form of letters to her beloved Popples, whom she helped save from one of the most heartbreaking traumas, Anouradha Bakshi has written a book that will defy the way we look at stories just the way she defies all odds every day to bring smiles to the most unfortunate of children. Here is the story of four lives intersected by time and others - a true story of love, compassion, bitterness, anger, poverty and redemption. told in almost childlike simplicity. "The power of this book to me is in the honesty. An honest confession of love, goodness and humanity. Told with the hope that it will resonate with some forgotten abyss of our heart where we could discover love in its truest wonder."
This series was established to create comprehensive treatises on specific topics in developmental biology. Such volumes serve a useful role in developmental biology, since it is a very diverse field that receives contributions from a wide variety of disciplines. This series is a meeting-ground for the various practi tioners of this science, facilitating an integration of heterogeneous information on specific topics. Each volume is intended to provide the conceptual basis for a comprehen sive understanding of its topic as well as an analysis of the key experiments upon which that understanding is based. The specialist in any aspect of devel opmental biology should understand the experimental background of the field and be able to place that body of information in context to ascertain where additional research would be fruitful. At that point, the creative process gener ates new experiments. This series is intended to be a vital link in that ongoing process of learning and discovery.
All magnetized planets in our solar system (Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) interact strongly with the solar wind and possess well developed magnetotails. It is not only the strongly magnetized planets that have magnetotails. Mars and Venus have no global intrinsic magnetic field, yet they possess induced magnetotails. Comets have magnetotails that are formed by the draping of the interplanetary magnetic field. In the case of planetary satellites (moons), the magnetotail refers to the wake region behind the satellite in the flow of either the solar wind or the magnetosphere of its parent planet. The largest magnetotail of all in our solar system is the heliotail, the â€...
Ribonucleases are a ubiquitous and functionally diverse group of enzymes that have a common ability to cleave RNA. Either through scission of internal phosphodiesters, or removal of nucleotides from RNA 5’ or 3’ ends, ribonucleases perform essential roles in gene expression and regulation, genome replication and maintenance, host defense, stress response, and viral strategies of infection. Ribonucleases have also served as highly informative models to understand virtually every aspect of biomolecular structure and function. The fifteen chapters in this volume are written by recognized researchers in the field, and provide in-depth analyses of the major ribonuclease families. Particular f...
Smokeless tobacco use is increasing throughout the U.S., especially among the most vulnerable of our citizens -- the children. With more than 30,000 new cases of oral cancer reported last year in the U.S. alone, it is time that use of smokeless tobacco take its rightful place next to cigarette smoking as a serious health risk that must be stopped. This report includes the following chapters: Clinical and Pathological Effects; Carcinogenesis; Nicotine Effects and Addiction; Prevention; Cessation: Recommendations for the Control of Smokeless Tobacco. Tables, photos and graphs.
