Structural Bioinformatics was the first major effort to show the application of the principles and basic knowledge of the larger field of bioinformatics to questions focusing on macromolecular structure, such as the prediction of protein structure and how proteins carry out cellular functions, and how the application of bioinformatics to these life science issues can improve healthcare by accelerating drug discovery and development. Designed primarily as a reference, the first edition nevertheless saw widespread use as a textbook in graduate and undergraduate university courses dealing with the theories and associated algorithms, resources, and tools used in the analysis, prediction, and the...
Providing the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of this exciting biomedical field, Handbook of Photomedicine gathers together a large team of international experts to give you a complete account of the application of light in healthcare and medical science. The book progresses logically from the history and fundamentals of photomedicine to diverse therapeutic applications of light, known collectively as phototherapies. It facilitates your understanding of human diseases caused by light, the rationale for photoprotection, and major applications of phototherapy in clinical practice. The handbook begins with a series of historical vignettes of pioneers from the last two centuries. It also...
This Second Edition brings readers up to date with all the latest findings in lectin research. Throughout this new edition, more than 200 figures and some thirty tables help readers visualize and understand key concepts and processes. The book starts with an overview of lectin research followed by a survey of the occurrence of lectins in nature. Other areas covered include the nutritional effects of lectins and their functions in nature.

This book documents and illustrates major developments in the use of nematodes for the biological control of insects and slugs. It covers the use of three main types of nematodes: entomopathogenic nematodes, entomophilic nematodes and slug-parasitic nematodes. The biology, commercial production, formulation and quality control, application technology, strategy and safety of each of these three nematode groups is discussed. The book also examines the application of nematodes in different cropping systems, and the efficacy of nematodes against specific pests. The potential of predatory nematodes to control plant-parasitic nematodes and mycophagous nematodes to control fungal pathogens is also reviewed.
The bibl iography includes papers in all fields of photosynthesis research - from studies of model biochemical and biophysical systems of the photosynthetic mecha~ nism to primary production studied by the so-cal led growth analysis. In addition to papers devoted entirely to photosynthesis, papers on other topics are included if they contain data on photosynthetic activity, photorespiration, chloroplast structure, chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis and destruction, etc., or if they contain valuable methodological information (measurement of selected environmental factors, leaf area, etc.). In many branches it has been difficult to define the I i mits of interest for photosynthesis research...
Un libro de verdades que rompe paradigmas Valeria Stoopen Barois es la persona detrás de L'Amargeitor, una voz mordaz y sin tapujos que se ha atrevido a decir lo que muchas mujeres (y varios hombres), ya sean mamás, esposas, amigas, hermanas o profesionistas no se atreven. A través desu blog y redes sociales ha conquistado a miles de seguidores, gracias a su ironía, comentarios sin sutilezas y sus " verdadazos". En su primer libro, L'Amargeitor abre su corazón (porque sí tiene) y nos confronta con todasesas cosas que no nos dijeron o, más bien, nos dijeron mal sobre la maternidad, las pérdidas, el trabajo, la vida en pareja (o en soltería), las amistades y las relaciones en general. En anécdotas personales, mezcladas con su particular humor y algunas lágrimas, L'Amargeitor nos comparte un refrescante cúmulo de lecciones (accidentales) para aprender (o desaprender) y, ahora sí, amigas y amigos, "darnos cuenta". "Un ejercicio de humor y honestidad, una celebración al derecho de cuestionarlo todo." –ALMA DELIA MURILLO
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are biocontrol agents that are used to control a wide variety of insect pests within agriculture and forestry. In addition to their use as bio-pesticides, EPNs have a fascinating biology and are thus considered model organisms in ecology, symbiosis and pathogenesis. This book presents basic knowledge and diverse applications to illustrate how EPNs play an important role as potent biocontrol solutions. This book is a must have for all pest management professionals including those practicing integrated pest management strategies.
