First published in 1996. A social history of the changing fortunes of apprentices and the system of apprenticeship over three centuries of English history.
Chemistry and Properties of Crosslinked Polymers provides a description of the structure property relationship, chemistry, and methods of characterization of crosslinked polymers. The book presents papers that discuss experimental techniques to study polymer network structure; deduction of information on network structure from theoretical considerations; interpenetrating polymer networks; crosslinked polymers for high temperature applications; a novel class of polyurethanes; crosslinking agents; and the influence of crosslinking agents on thermal and mechanical properties. The text will be of value to materials scientists and engineers, chemists, and researchers in the field of polymer science.
This volume surveys advances in the study of adaptive radiation showing how molecular characters can be used to analyze the origin and pattern of diversification within a lineage in a non-circular fashion.
The application of molecular techniques is rapidly transforming the study of plant systematics. The precision they offer enables researchers to classify plants that have not been subject to rigorous classification before and thus allows them to obtain a clearer picture of evolutionary relationships. Plant Molecular Systematics is arranged both conceptually and phylogenetically to accommodate the interests not only of general systematists, but also those of people interested in a particular plant family. The first part discusses molecular sequencing; the second reviews restriction site analysis and the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA. A third section details the analysis of ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA. The following section introduces model studies involving well-studied families such as the Onagraceae, Compositae and Leguminosae. The book concludes with a section addressing theoretical topics such as data analysis and the question of morphological vs. molecular data.
Historical survey of the evolution of concepts from which modern gynecologic endocrinology arose. Part I presents data generally available before 1939, followed by a second part in which the past five decades are surveyed. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Demonstrating the value of interactions between neurology and the basic sciences that underpin it, this volume considers a range of topics from the points of view of both neurobiologist and clinician and reveals how advances in our understanding have been and continue to be made. The coverage boasts an excellent section on the physiology and pathophysiology of central and peripheral nerve fibers and an in-depth view of motor control including the often ignored but vital respiratory movements. Also notable are the chapters on neuronal plasticity, and cell death and axonal regeneration: active areas in neuroscience, where new knowledge will almost certainly revolutionize neurological treatments in years to come.
Vols. for 1963- include as pt. 2 of the Jan. issue: Medical subject headings.
Papers based on geological mapping completed in the last 30 years and on associated stratigraphic and biostratigraphic studies deal with the contentious subject of correlation of Pennsylvanian units, and serve as an addendum to the work of Harold R. Wanless. Includes b&w photos and diagrams, and a g
