It has four sections focusing on Sperm antigens, Antisperm antibodies (ASAs), Clinical impact of ASAs, and Immune contraception, and include contributions from leading experts in these fields. This new edition of the book offers a comprehensive update that reflects the very significant advances in reproductive immunology that have been achieved over the past five years, especially related to the sperm proteome, sperm-egg binding/fusion proteins, gene knockout studies, and immunocontraception. Reproductive immunology continues to be a fast-growing discipline in which new knowledge is emerging almost every day. Immune Infertility is a model source of vital and reliable information on the latest scientific developments in the field. It will be of value for clinicians, scientists, students, residents, and fellows working in reproductive biology, obstetrics and gynecology, and urology.
This book highlights the fundamental concepts related to 57Fe Mssbauer spectrometry, useful for graduate students and researchers. The first three chapters present essential topics related to nuclear, quantum mechanics and magnetism. The final parts of the book focus on the fundamentals and applications of 57Fe Mssbauer spectrometry. As Mssbauer spectrometry is used by students and researchers in various disciplines, this book presents the essential aspects in the relevant subject areas. The Mssbauer parameters of Fe-based alloys, ferrimagnetic, antiferromagnetic and superconducting materials, as well as applications in earth sciences, life sciences and extraterrestrial studies, are covered.

Forage crops are important for the economy of our country as these crops provide major nutritional base in the livestock ration. The National Commission on Agriculture has also emphasized in its report that in order to achieve the so-called ‘White Revolution’ it will be necessary to provide required emphasis on research relating to the improvement and management of forages. India’s average availability of milk per head per day comes to only 100 ml as against our requirement of 220 ml per day. With the increase in world human population and economic growth, the demand for animal products such as milk, meat and eggs in the human diet is bound to increase. The success of dairy and poultry...
A Unique Book. Although Pasteurs Seminal Contributions Are Known, The Background Leading To These Discoveries Has Been Admirably Recapitulated. How Studies To Help Sort The Problems Of Wine And Beer Industry Led To The Recognition Of Micro-Organisms As The Causative Factor, And To The Denunciation Of The Then Prevalent Views On Spontaneous Generation. The Inability Of An Aged Culture Of Fowl Cholera To Cause Disease In Chicken Was Not Dismissed As A Mistake, But Deduced To Make Two Observations Fundamental To Development Of Vaccines, Namely A Method To Attenuate The Virulence Of The Micro-Organisms And The Use Of Such Organisms As Vaccines.The Vaccine For Rabies Was A Landmark At A Time When...
