Springer Handbook of Glass
This handbook provides comprehensive treatment of the current state of glass science from the leading experts in the field. Opening with an enlightening contribution on the history of glass, the volume is then divided into eight parts. The first part covers fundamental properties, from the current understanding of the thermodynamics of the amorphous state, kinetics, and linear and nonlinear optical properties through colors, photosensitivity, and chemical durability. The second part provides dedicated chapters on each individual glass type, covering traditional systems like silicates and other oxide systems, as well as novel hybrid amorphous materials and spin glasses. The third part feature...
Mo Organomolybdenum Compounds
This volume 8 is the fourth in a series dealing with organomolybdenum compounds. An Empirical Formula Index and a Ligand Formula Index provide ready access to the compounds covered. Volume 5 describes mononuclear organomolybdenum compounds with isocyanide, 3 4 carbene, carbyne, alkynyl, alkene, alkyne, L, and L ligands with and without additional CO groups. Volume 6 starts the description of mononuclear organomolybdenum compounds with 5 one L Ligand, a Ligand bonded to molybdenum by five carbon atoms. The compounds contain either zero or one CO group bonded to the molybdenum atom. Volume 7 continues the 5 description of L-molybdenum compounds containing two CO groups, but no additional nl 5 ...
Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Otariids and the Odobenid
This book is focused on the marine mammalian groups the Otariidae and the Odobenidae, otherwise known as fur seals, sea lions and the walrus. In 30 chapters, more than 60 authors from 30 institutions and 13 nationalities, discuss a broad suite of topics from maternal care and mating behavior, through play, cognition and personality, to adaptation to life in the Anthropocene. The authors explore the behaviors that have allowed these semi-aquatic mammals to thrive in the marine realm. Many populations have recovered following historical decimation, with interesting evolutionary consequences which are explored. Detailed, selected, individual species descriptions are also provided, showcasing the behavioral diversity of this engaging, adaptive and highly successful group of marine mammals.
Molecular Techniques in Crop Improvement
This book provides comprehensive information on the latest tools and techniques of molecular genetics and their applications in crop improvement. It thoroughly discusses advanced techniques used in molecular markers, QTL mapping, marker-assisted breeding, and molecular cytogenetics.
Fe Organoiron Compounds
The present volume, "Organoiron Compounds" B 17, systematically covers the literature through the end of 1987 for Sections 1.5.3 to 1.5.3.5, through the end of 1988 for Sections 1.5.4 to 1.5.6.7, and also includes many tater references. This volume continues Se ries B (volumes B 1 to B 15 al ready published) on the mononu clear organoiron compounds; Series A (volumes A 1 to A 9 already published) is devoted to the ferrocenes and Se ries C (volumes C 1 to C 5 and C 7 already published) treats organoiron com pounds with two or more Fe atoms in the molecule. Se ries B thus far includes the following mononuclear organoiron compounds: "Eisen-Organische Verbindungen" B 1 (1976), B 2 (1978, in English), B 3 (1979, partly in English) Sections 1 to 1.1.4.8 on 0 compounds and carbonyl compounds. "Eisen-Organische Verbindungen" B 4 (1978) Sections 1.1.5 to 1.2.3.2.3 on isonitrile and carbene compounds and on compounds with ligands bonded to the Fe atom by two C atoms eL ligands). "Eisen-Organische Verbindungen" B 5 (1978) Sections 1.3 to 1.3.6 on compounds with ligands bonded to the Fe atom by three C atoms (3L ligands).
Fe Organoiron Compounds Part B13
The present volume "Organoiron Compounds" B 13 systematically covers the literature through the end of 1986, and includes additional references up to 1988. The volume continues Series B (volumes B 1 to B 12 already published) on the mononuclear organoiron compounds, whereas Series A (volumes A 1 to A 8 already published) is devoted to the ferrocenes and Series C (volumes C 1 to C 5 and C 7 already published) treats organoiron compounds with two or more Fe atoms in the molecule. The volume B 13 continues the description of C5H5Fe(CO)2R compounds, which will be completed shortly in volume B 14. It deals with compounds in which the C5H5Fe(CO)2 group is bonded to alkyl groups substituted by heterocycles, to a C=O, C=N, or C=S unit, and to alkenyl, alkynyl or carbocycles. An Index covering the volumes B 13 and B 14 will be included in Part B 14.
Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources
Wild crop relatives are now playing a significant part in the elucidation and improvement of the genomes of their cultivated counterparts. This work includes comprehensive examinations of the status, origin, distribution, morphology, cytology, genetic diversity and available genetic and genomic resources of numerous wild crop relatives, as well as of their evolution and phylogenetic relationship. Further topics include their role as model plants, genetic erosion and conservation efforts, and their domestication for the purposes of bioenergy, phytomedicines, nutraceuticals and phytoremediation. Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources comprises 10 volumes on Cereals, Millets and Grasses, Oilseeds, Legume Crops and Forages, Vegetables, Temperate Fruits, Tropical and Subtropical Fruits, Industrial Crops, Plantation and Ornamental Crops, and Forest Trees. It contains 125 chapters written by nearly 400 well-known authors from about 40 countries.
Cryopreservation of Plant Germplasm II
Ex situ preservation of germplasm for higher plant species has been accom plished using either seeds or clones, but storage of these under typical condi tions does not provide the extreme longevities that are needed to minimize risk of loss. Costs of maintenance and regeneration of stocks are also high. Systems that provide virtually indefinite storage should supplement existing methods and it is within this context that cryopreservation is presented. The use of low temperature preservation was initially more a concern of medicine and animal breeding, and was expanded to plants in the 1970s. Sur vival after cryogenic exposure has now been demonstrated for diverse plant groups including algae...
