Lipidomics
This fully updated book presents an account of areas of utility, techniques, and bioinformatic advancements in the field of lipidomics. Beginning with protocols for lipid isolation and extraction, the volume continues with techniques from extractive mass spectrometry to imaging mass spectrometry methods allowing localization of lipids in tissues. These protocols have been complemented by methods addressing specific problems from membranes, fractionated subcellular compartments or organelles to whole organisms. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Lipidomics: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for biochemists, molecular biologists, neuroscientists, vision research scientists, as well as all biomedical researchers with interest in disease discovery and drug development.
The Ceph - Arrival
Battle lines are drawn to contest the fate of a world. Alliances and communication are in place between the Ceph and Humans to build widespread relationships. Projects to save not only humanity, but the world itself are advancing. The balance between secrecy and revelation is precarious, however, and a mistake will provoke disaster. Bright, the Ceph Matriarch, chosen to be Ambassador from the Ceph on Earth to the Civilization, faces a trial of self-sacrifice. Stella, her oldest friend, must choose between loyalty to her race and what she knows must happen for her race to survive. Thomas Belten, aka Ax10m the criminal hacker vowed that he would have his revenge, and he would not be stopped even by his own death. Pearl the Ansible once again must balance the demands of the future against all it has worked a billion years to build, and the children it loves but never dreamed would exist. Ideology has faced off against reason and compassion. The prize is the very existence of humanity. The world-ship, the Swimmer in Relativity, is due and with it comes judgement. A spark will kindle a blaze that could sweep the world to ash, and an enemy from beyond the grave will strike that spark.
Marine Biomedicine
Marine Biomedicine: From Beach to Bedside assesses current efforts in marine biomedicine and evaluates the implications of recent advances on the future of the field.Richly illustrated in full color to enhance reader comprehension, the book covers four sections. The first one addresses the technology that has recently been brought to bear on the st
The South China Sea
Pinxian Wang and Qianyu Li The South China Sea (SCS) (Fig. 1. 1) offers a special attraction for Earth scientists world-wide because of its location and its well-preserved hemipelagic sediments. As the largest one of the marginal seas separating Asia from the Paci?c, the largest continent from the largest ocean, the SCS functions as a focal point in land-sea int- actions of the Earth system. Climatically, the SCS is located between the Western Paci?c Warm Pool, the centre of global heating at the sea level, and the Tibetan Plateau, the centre of heating at an altitude of 5,000m. Geomorphologically, the SCS lies to the east of the highest peak on earth, Zhumulangma or Everest in the Himalayas...
Stratigraphy
This volume presents the proceedings of Symposium I "Stratigraphy" of the 30th International Geological Congress at Beijing. The proceedings aim to present a view of contemporary geology and should be of interest to researchers in the geological sciences.
Global Report on the Biology, Fishery and Trade of Precious Corals
This document has been prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in accordance with a request from CITES (CoP Decision 17.191 on Precious corals, for consideration at the 30th meeting of the Animals Committee). The report concerns precious (red, pink, white and black) coral species within the hexacoral order Antipatharia, and the octocoral family Coralliidae. According to the requirements of CITES Decision 17.191, the study considers all available data and information on the biology, population status, use and trade in each species, including the identification of gaps in such data and information. It contains information on the management and harvest regulation schemes for these coral species, with the aim of considering the effectiveness of their management and conservation. The report intends to inform the CITES parties of the status of the management and trade of precious corals, in order to provide guidance on the actions needed to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of precious corals.
Marine Biomaterials
Oceans are an abundant source of diverse biomaterials with potential for an array of uses. Marine Biomaterials: Characterization, Isolation and Applications brings together the wide range of research in this important area, including the latest developments and applications, from preliminary research to clinical trials. The book is divided into four parts, with chapters written by experts from around the world. Biomaterials described come from a variety of marine sources, such as fish, algae, microorganisms, crustaceans, and mollusks. Part I covers the isolation and characterization of marine biomaterials—bioceramics, biopolymers, fatty acids, toxins and pigments, nanoparticles, and adhesi...
Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems
This book summarizes what is known about mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) geographically and by major taxa. MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m. and extending to over 150 m. in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite th...
