Microbial Roles in Caves
Caves are dark, underground hollow spaces with relatively constant temperature, high humidity, and limited nutrients. Many caves are associated with karst topography, which is formed by the dissolution of soluble bedrock, such as limestone, dolomite and gypsum, in areas where groundwaters are undersaturated with respect to the minerals in the host rock. Karst landforms spread widely, accounting for approximately 20% of the earth’s dry ice-free surface (Ford and Williams, 2007). As a typical feature of subsurface landscape, karst caves develop globally, with over 50,000 distributed in the United States (Barton and Jurado, 2007). China also has a large contiguous karst terrain, and the Yunna...
Biotechnologies for Plant Mutation Breeding
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book offers 19 detailed protocols on the use of induced mutations in crop breeding and functional genomics studies, which cover topics including chemical and physical mutagenesis, phenotypic screening methods, traditional TILLING and TILLING by sequencing, doubled haploidy, targeted genome editing, and low-cost methods for the molecular characterization of mutant plants that are suitable for laboratories in developing countries. The collection of protocols equips users with the techniques they need in order to start a program on mutation breeding or functional genomics using both forward and reverse-genetic approaches. Methods are provided for seed and vegetatively propagated crops (e.g. banana, barley, cassava, jatropha, rice) and can be adapted for use in other species.
Fungi in Extreme Environments: Ecological Role and Biotechnological Significance
Over the last decades, scientists have been intrigued by the fascinating organisms that inhabit extreme environments. These organisms, known as extremophiles, thrive in habitats which for other terrestrial life-forms are intolerably hostile or even lethal. Based on such technological advances, the study of extremophiles has provided, over the last few years, ground-breaking discoveries that challenge the paradigms of modern biology. In the new bioeconomy, fungi in general, play a very important role in addressing major global challenges, being instrumental for improved resource efficiency, making renewable substitutes for products from fossil resources, upgrading waste streams to valuable fo...
Oxford Textbook of Public Mental Health
Prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion have often been ignored in the past, both in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Recently, however, there has been a clear shift towards public mental health, as a result of increasing scientific evidence that both these actions have a serious potential to reduce the onset of illness and subsequent burden as a result of mental illness and related social, economic and political costs. A clear distinction between prevention of mental illness and mental health promotion is critical. Selective prevention, both at societal and individual level, is an important way forward. The Oxford Textbook of Public Mental Health brings together th...
Der Großcousin
Abbe, 62 Jahre alt, erfolgreicher Frankfurter Geschäftsmann und Kosmopolit, empfindet sich selbst als Deutscher. Seine iranischen Wurzeln sind verschüttet. Als ihn eines Tages ein entfernter Verwandter, soeben aus dem Iran eingetroffen, aufsucht, gerät sein Leben durcheinander. Der Besucher ist undurchschaubar, verwickelt sich in Widersprüche und stolpert von einer Notlage zur nächsten. Bald kreist Abbes Leben nur noch um die Probleme des Verwandten. Erst nach und nach erschließt sich ihm die wahre Geschichte des jungen Mannes, und er beginnt ihn und sich selbst mit anderen Augen zu sehen.

Söhne der Liebe
Mit "Söhne der Liebe" zeichnet Ghazi Rabihavi ein umfassendes und repräsentatives Bild von Iran in den Jahren kurz vor und unmittelbar nach der Revolution von 1979. Der Roman beleuchtet damit einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte Irans, greift jedoch ebenso universelle Fragen auf, die bis heute nichts an Relevanz eingebüßt haben. Durch die Protagonisten Nadji und Djamil lernt die Leserschaft verschiedene marginalisierte Bevölkerungsgruppen kennen und wird so während des Lesens konstant mit Problemen der sozialen und nationalen Zugehörigkeit konfrontiert.
