Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Aizoaceae A-E
This handbook, consisting of six volumes, covers over 9000 taxa of succulents (excluding cacti), which have the ability to store water in their stems, leaves, or underground organs. In addition to the volumes on Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons, separate volumes are devoted to those families with predominantly succulent members, which show an especially great diversity, namely Aizoaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Crassulaceae. Following an alphabetical listing of families, genera and species, detailed descriptions are given, including the taxonomy with synonyms, data on the distribution and ecology, references, and keys to genera, species or subspecies. Over 2000 superb colour photographs complete this inventory of succulent plants.

Advances in Mass Spectrometry
This volume contains contributions based on many of the Invited Lectures given at the 16th triennial International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) in Edinburgh (September 2003) while the accompanying CD contains the Abstracts of all the accepted papers-Oral and Posters. Traditionally the IMSC has a strong emphasis on the fundamentals and new instrumentation of mass spectrometry and on instrumental developments, and this tradition has continued. There was, however, an equally strong emphasis in Edinburgh on key application areas in mass spectrometry like genomics, proteomics, metabonomics; drug metabolism and bioanalysis, discovery pharma, analysis in pharmaceutical development processes;...
Recurrence of the Disease in the Renal Graft
When a grafted part fails to take, it is usually because of acute or chronic rejection, either for strictly immunological reasons or because of failure to properly follow the immunosuppressive therapy. There are other reasons for loss of a transplant however, notably when the disease that led to a kidney transplant returns after the operation, something that happens in 5 to 15% of cases. This book aims to: Review the current state of knowledge and methods of care; Suggest therapeutic consensus, especially in cases of nephrotic syndrome, by using specific post-transplant treatment or preventive measures; Connect up the various practices concerning choice of donors; Spell out more clearly the approach to take when a first transplant fails and another is envisaged; Sponsored by the Mérieux Foundation and the work of leading international experts in the field, the book provides indispensable top-quality information.
Leukocyte Membrane Determinants Regulating Immune Reactivity
Leukocyte Membrane Determinants Regulating Immune Reactivity is a result of the Leukocyte Culture Conference meeting held at Amsterdam in 1975. Abstracts presented in the meeting are compiled in this book. The topics of these abstracts are all under leukocyte biology and include not just lymphocytes but also monocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes. The text is composed of six major sections. The first section features abstracts that deal with ligand binding and subsequent changes in membrane. Section II focuses on the receptors on lymphocytes in the context of various subpopulations. Immune reactivity, specifically its augmentation or suppression, is the main topic of Section III. Gene products are emphasized in Section IV, while effector functions of membrane determinants are tackled in Section V. Finally, Section VI features leukocyte membrane determinants in differentiation and maturation. The book presents much detailed information that will be of great help to students or professionals in the study of biology, specifically leukocyte biology.
Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
The Fourth International Congress of Peritoneal Dialysis was held in Venice, Italy, June 29 to July 2, 1987. By this time peritoneal dialysis had emerged as a treatment for a substantial fraction of patients with end-stage renal disease and countless numbers of patients with acute renal failure. This treatment is now practiced worldwide and is the life-sustaining treatment for about 40,000 patients with chronic renal failure, representing 15 to 20% of dialysis therapy in about 1000 centers. It is not surprising, therefore, that the number of health professionals engaged in the investigation and the application of the treatment has also grown exponen tially. The First International Symposium ...
Atomic Scale Dynamics at Surfaces
Experimental advances in helium atom scattering spectroscopy over the last forty years have allowed the measurement of surface phonon dispersion curves of more than 200 different crystal surfaces and overlayers of insulators, semiconductors and metals. The first part of the book presents, at a tutorial level, the fundamental concepts and methods in surface lattice dynamics, and the theory of atom-surface interaction and inelastic scattering in their various approximations, up to the recent electron-phonon theory of helium atom scattering from conducting surfaces. The second part of the book, after introducing the experimentalist to He-atom spectrometers and the rich phenomenology of helium a...
